Anyway, I really dont see it as being for gay *sexual* problems.
More for problems arising out of their sexuality.

Doesnt just have to be about 'problems' :cool:

What's needed is a poll to track which of the two boards, PI and GLB provides the greatest number of serrupticious laughs. I think the humour board has a serious run for its money here.

But then, I'm sick.

And as for the parents board - you just need a sticky that says:

YOUR CHILD IS BEHIND YOU. TURN AROUND.

pffft you stole that from MY name. Yes thats right.

I actually thought the clan was called "Guns All Year", with a catchy [GAY] tag for each of the clanmembers

ButcherOfNog

no swiss, that was GI .. Ghey Islanders

DeVore

Oh, now THATS an old obscure reference that about 90% of Boards isnt going to get


Back on topic though... I'm very pleased how the GLB Issues forum is going at the moment. Its remarkably untrolled (apart from Jayk the odd time ) unless the Mods have been faster then the Admin!

This is a good thing and so far the discussions have been quite interesting and thought provoking. So much so that perhaps we should consider allowing Unregistered posts...

DeV...

Typedef

I think unregistered posting is a great idea boss.

... about that pay raise...

azezil

i'm totally against unreggi posting i think it encourages muppetry and causes undue stress for mods trying to sort through what is real n what's just plain trolling ...

Talliesin

I think unreg posting would be great if the moderators would be up to the workload involved. As such it should really be up to them.

Gordon

It [unregistered] really doesn't cause much more workload on PI. If there are issues raised by an Unregistered that are slightly dubious, slightly unplausible, they are dealt with in a mature way by posters on PI as far as I see. A lot of the posters seem to moderate the Unregistereds well, saving mods a lot of work.

We rarely seem to get the "Oive gah peempls ohn meh bellend wharrama gonnu dyew?!" followed by "hehe ye fookn reyterds, oiy wiz fokn wit ye, oiy dewnt ev pehmples 'tall!". And if we do it's good craic for the "moderation lag" moment it exists.

I really think going unregistered would be a good thing for the board just as it is for coming out on PI.

azezil

hows it coming out if ya do it unregistered 0_o

Gordon

that was an attempted wry joke on posting/coming out but seems to have flopped like a lead balloon. o_0

Thanks for pointing that out Dusta... I mean Bost... no I mean paddy.. no wrong again... Victor... hmm oh yes AZEZIL

azezil

FUNNEH!

but seriously whats the point of unreggies...

Gordon

Imagine if you were a spammer and you had to tell the whole world that you were a spammer or you would go insane by living a lie. Maybe before you told the world you were a spammer you would want to query uncloseted spammers as to how they came out and get some insight and backup and reassurance I guess.

I think it worked for one of the GLB moderators on PI tbh. (about being gay, not being a spammer, he isn't out of his closet on that facet of his character yet!)

i dont get it :P

I'd be against unregistered posts too, let em post to PI and the mods there can move em over if they are not muppetry and are relevant. Less work for me.

Yeah I registered as unregi before, but I would have registered an account if needs be. I'm not a big fan of unregi posting though but I just used it for convenience.

Shinji

I'm all for unreggi posting on the board. It's been a very easy run so far (much easier than I'd expected) so I guess unreg posting might increase the workload but hey - moderators have to earn their keep

STaN

let every1 go unreggie cept for TypeDef for obvious and unobvious reasons



wub wub

Typedef

bah.... *obviously
*that was my next guess.

/Foiled again.

yellum

Ah yeah, my minds been changed by whats been said, go unreggie !

*panics a little*

Eh... "keep"? Um, which keep would that be then? Noone mentioned any "keep"s....

I think I'll think about setting up unregistered postings for people who might already be on Boards but not want to "come out" just yet...

Moving back to the issue of unregistered posting, I've considered my stance on the matter, and decided that allowing it may not be such a bad idea.

If a person has understandable difficulty posting under their nick about issues like their sexuality then they have really only once choice, which is to create another account, á la bubbles/boston . This is usually frowned upon, some admins have given explicit warnings that users who multi will be kicked, however in this circumstance it would probably be forgiven, seeing as the intended purpose would not be to troll or create hassle.

As Shinji has already stated the people of boards have behaved admirably well so far. Unlike Shinji I am not surprised. Although Unregistered posting will create additional work for moderators, this is what we signed up for, and should it become more trouble than it's worth, we can always disable this feature.
