Calgary Construction XXVI

[ST1]

Here’s a totally radical suggestion. Let people post and respond how they bloody well please, rather than whining and bitching about it. It is the effing internet after all.

Exactly. People should be able to post and respond how they want as long as it pertains to construction. Moderation should only be needed under three conditions. 1)personal attacks 3)racism 4)not related to construction

Anything else should be okay. It's not up to individuals to decide who gets to say what regarding construction. We've already been moderated a lot lately.....one might even say over-moderated.

People shouldn't quote the photos, just my opinion, but it would be a big help if less photos were posted (not none at all, but less). How many times does one need to look at the library from almost the same angle?

Users should just avoid quoting photos, one or many, for no purpose.

outoftheice can put his photos out there in all their glory in one post or seven in a row. IDC, but spoilering them seems unnecessary.

Or we could all use some courtesy and not repost a 40 picture post 5x on the same page.

So why did you do just such on that page? Brain fart?

Seriously?? All the crying and whining you’ve done lately about other people‘s post, and then you go and post that? How effing brilliant!

A few others have echoed those sentiments, so I'll be taking it down a notch from now on. I'll let the conversation flow more and let it take its course. Anything racist will be taken down immediately. Other stuff will be relaxed a bit as people need to speak their mind..if anything gets too crazy it'll come down.

You mean racist comments like the ones you dropped in the Tsutinna development thread?

This problem used to happen all the time back in the days of surrealplaces, when he'd post hundreds of thousands of photos in one update and people kept quoted it. Now that's he's gone we haven't had that the issue.

Speak for yourself. I'd kill to have regular updates from SP again. Hundreds of thousands or not.

Entering this thread these last couple of years feels like I've turned on a Peter & Bobby Farrelly directed movie.

I never said he was, all I said was that it would be nice.
