What worries me... | Feb 11, 2022 |
is members disappearing along with their posts. I keep my bag packed, waiting for the knock on the door in the middle of the night.

Michael At some point, relatively recently, it seems that Proz decided to restrict the number of pages that are visible and many threads have disappeared, never to be seen again. I suppose there are server problems about storing so much old data, but prospective new users will not see the breadth and extent of the discussions that have been taking place over the years. In my case the ability to see all those old threads was a big factor in my decision to sign up as a paying member. | | | No thanks, I like to keep my inbox like a show home | Feb 11, 2022 |

Some forum rules are enforced quite strictly, whereas others are enforced only when things become hairy. This is true of the way most online forums operate, by the way. The rule that you're not allowed to discuss moderator actions in the forum, is one of the latter: it is often tolerated even though strictly speaking there is a rule against it.

[Edited at 2022-02-11 14:37 GMT] Well, yes. Now that you come to mention it, there has been at least one thread that I am glad has been removed and will never be seen again. But most of the threads are about serious or interesting problems and are often very interesting to read, especially for the neophyte Prozian who (like me at the time) hasn't made up his mind as to whether joining Proz would be a good thing, or not.

Michael ... in order to log posts made by members who deliberately insult others by purpose, just to erase the post in the next minute and counting on the effect, that you (the member to be insulted) has subscribed to that forum and will be insulted without breaking the forum rules. We have one proz member among us, allegedly living in a capital of an European country and who is a master of this method.

I'm starting to wonder, how many fake profiles are there actually? And how many of people's KudoZ points are actually real/fake? I discovered two fake profiles over the past month or so (with help from Barend van Zadelhoff, Hans Lenting, and Phil Goddard), but I suspect there are a ton more out there. If you see something suspicious, look into it, you may be surprised at what you discover. | | | Post removed: This post was hidden by a moderator or staff member because it was not in line with site rule | Pages in topic: [1 2 3] > | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » I recommend subscribing to forum threads, to keep a record of posts that might otherwise disappear!
