Fight Club____for Sailors

I haven't been back there since this morning

I had replied to someone last night who commented on Giu's sailing vids, he thought they were the best things on the site so far and I agreed. He went on to ask who owns the material on the site and I replied. Next thing I know, one of the so call Ol' time morons said he's tired of the topics I pick to reply to, then later says he's delt with my kind before ........wtf

This AM the Chief moron tells me one more post like that and they'd be bidding me farewell. That one sorta pissed me off, I wrote something, dropped a F bomb in there somewhere and bailed. I'm sure I've been ban for two consecutive life terms........

Tonight had couple buddies ask me again which two sites I was talk'n about, I said forget it just go to SiNcity dot com. But if they even wanted a site to visit after that bottle single barrel, I have just the place for them

Hey Whampoa! Headed your way this weekend.

This should make interesting reading.

Can't speak for anyone else but I'm waiting for my next sip of whiskey

Joel, one of these trips we will both be down there at the same time and I would like to buy you a beer.

I can't make it down to the boat this weekend due to other commitments.

Regards, John

Of course in VB software, any time someone reports a post, it is flagged to the admins/mods and he could simply be counting the reports and if they add up to 2, then manually deleting the post. In that case we would not need new code...we would just need a vote and have Sully count to five instead.
On the other hand, he may have written code to monitor flagged posts and report to him when the number reaches 2 for a given post so he can review and delete. In that case I would need his code so I can have it modified.
I do not think it is totally an Admin free process since Alex's posts were flagged many times and not deleted. The question is whether there is some coding in the process or if it is an entirely manual process. I'm sure Sully can provide that information.

I have asked him to provide the existing code for the "2 flags to kill a post" rule and I will have it modified for submission and a vote. My own preference is that 5 flags should be required to delete a post but I don't wish to write to modifications to my preference. Instead I would like to get a sense of the groups feelings and I will promise to modify the code to what ever option receives the most votes in the poll above in the spirit of democracy. I have also included the "I don't want a change" option as I'm sure many are happy with the current system. If the "no change" votes exceed the votes for different numbers, I'll just drop the project.
Thanks in advance for voting.

I didn't really have a problem with his fag sytem, my problem was being ghosted by some moron telling me my choice of topic didn't meet his approval, followed by little Hugo Chavez's power trip.

Gotta give it up to Cam for trying to make it work though

This whole thing got ratcheded up because I asked questions...I asked if there could be a poll on how many flags is acceptable for the majority of the democracy. lord sully got pissy, calling names and booted me out.
Now he is letting cam (who first proffered the idea of changing the flag number) run a poll and change the flagging to mirror the poll results!
nice job lord sully, tropicass, sandy & bass!


I get my wishes!! Thanks!!

Well - looks like SA has broken loose. We'll suddenly look like angels.
