Ok. I'm born in 1965 (age 33) in France. And I'm french. I live in
Guadeloupe in the caribbean. I'm a professional programmer (currently
working on a cardio training fitness system).
No children (as far as I know) :)
But time will come, and I already know someone who is volunteering to
help me in this task. Or is it the opposite? :)
Interest in life: I want to live in a cool place, avoid stress, improve
Chess Tiger, write music, and try to understand the world.
I would be glad to never have to delete a post. But I would certainly do
it if somebody tries hard to make people hate each other. Or if someone
obviously tries to generate a lot of negative feelings (this would be
the case of a post loaded with insults).
In such a case, I would like the offending sender to be given the
opportunity to correct the message. So I would advice the moderating
comitte to:
1) delete the message.
2) inform the sender by email (in the softest way you can imagine) so he
has a chance to calm down and post again later.
But I suppose this is the way moderators have done it in the past.
I would advice to give anybody several chances to become a fair member.
As you understand, I would like to moderate in a very soft way. My
motivation is that I would like to see CCC keep on in the very same
spirit. Heated discussions and out of topic paragraphs are not really a
problem. Maybe it is even the heart of CCC: people speaking about a very
tough and technical subject, but sometimes (often) showing some human
feelings too.
A good mixture, as far as nobody gets hurt.
Steve, I'm curious to know how many posts have been deleted by
moderators since the begining of CCC?
