What About Moderators in the New Forum?

>Nadia has exhibited no such thing.

See #285:

>Ramon and his disparaging remarks about Murray (amongst others) without knowing the person is beyond insulting. His intention is clearly obvious - hoping we all go away - he wants to be king of the jungle

[Emphasis added]

He's on the same stuff as Ann!

Rubbish! Nadia has exhibited no such thing.

You know, I've just been to the list of Product Forums - the one 'over here' not on the Adobe main site, and the list could at the very least be alphabetical, or follow *some* system. Now that's something that could be fixed 'over here', surely, without even waiting for a new system :(.

Nadia,

No, I haven't plonked you yet but it will probably be an excellent idea.

I've disliked Murray for a long, long time well before this forum section was created. He was asked to turn off his autoquotes back then, when he burst into the Forum Comments and Announcement section at around the time of the last, ultimately reversed changeover. His responses to that request earned him the disrespect of many.

I couldn't care less whether he goes, stays or goes underground. He doesn't intrude into the forums I visit and, now that I've plonked him, he's history as far as I'm concerned.

You are one pretentious, overbearing Aussie woman in presuming to ascribe non-existent motives to me. Not only do I categorically not want to be king of anything, I don't even want to be part of your "jungle". The Macromedia side has nothing to offer me, and I have nothing to contribute there. I have on occasion commented on the coarseness of many Australians (not all of course, there are some fine people over there and from there, including some who are very, very dear to me) and you seem to fit that coarse mould.

I think Ray has confused the original purpose of the "plonking" script (which was to eliminate obscene or otherwise offensive posts) with using it for blotting out people who disagree with him. I believe it's like "ignore" in some newsreaders.

Using it his way, it easy easy to lose the content of a thread. But it probably makes him happy in his tiny little world. :)

>Oh, and I must stick up for Murray.

I have to agree (but then I'm biased :-) Murray is one of the most knowledgeable people I know and a tireless poster on the MM forums and has been for years.

Ramon and his disparaging remarks about Murray (amongst others) without knowing the person is beyond insulting. His intention is clearly obvious - hoping we all go away - he wants to be king of the jungle.

Maybe I've been 'plonked' too and he won't see this :-)

> He annoyed the heck out of me when he bounced into the Golive forums unannounced, with his endless autoquotes

Possibly blame the use of NNTP - rather than the web interface - auto-quoting is very difficult to stop cold turkey :-)

I speak as I find, Ramón (I saw your pre-edited post).

I'm not sure whom Freeagent is quoting in #281, as I've plonked more than one participant, but the "rabid" epithet is stolen straight out of Ann's post #174:

> the rabid screams of protest by the one's who have come into this thread to protect their pathetic little "Hall Monitor's badges.

Typical 'dozer's lack of originality [in a feeble attempt to turn it against Mac users]. :D

Yet, an excellent example of the inevitable platform flame wars.

Kath,

I've plonked Murray now. I shouldn't have any reason to mention him in the future.

One big difference in the former Macromedia forums is that the Mac market share in those products is dwarfed by the Windows market share.

Not so in the areas of Photoshop, Photography, Typography, InDesign, Camera Raw and Illustrator, where the market share is 60%-40% either way , according to Microsoft's own figures.

Maybe that's why the merged forums allegedly work on the other side, and why the attempted merged forums on our side have always been disasters when they've been tried.
