witness the blanket statement by Divish that USSM views Willie B as Evil in Spikes, when we know it is just Nye.

That’s PURE EVIL IN SPIKES, thankyouverymuch!

As far as the “endorsement” thing goes, it’s more about perception; when a comment is removed or edited, that can be PERCEIVED as a statement that that particular comment is Not OK, and that by extension, non-edited or removed comments are OK.

It might seem like a logical stretch, but the reality is that it comes up all the time; mostly in the context of someone accusing the authors of squashing comments that don’t agree with their own views.

To make a brief comment about the moderation policies, too:

If you don’t like a moderation decision that was made, regardless of who made it, please please please send an email to the authors. We’ll make mistakes (I can own up to having made a couple) and I assure you that the feedback is taken seriously.

But nothing is going to cause any sympathy for your cause to evaporate more rapidly than continuing to contest moderation decisions within a comment thread, because then that creates more posts to remove, people start quoting them and trying to defend the moderation decision, and things rapidly snowball from there.

“I’m DMZ, and I approve of this comment” that sort of thing

1. The right not have my comments edited to say something I did not say. Like changing my post about Beltre’s OPS to say something like “So I was making out with this kid I was babysitting last night.” or “You know who had veteran grit and hustle? Hitler.”

(Unless it is for the purposes of comedy, of course. In that case, edit away.)

“endorsed” seems a little too far.

You might see not see it that way, but others have in the past.

Boy, I hope they don’t.

Heh heh.

I bet this site has never made it through a single game thread with only comments you endorse.

Maybe you should replace “Add my light to the glowing firmament of discussion.” with “I honestly believe that DMZ will endorse this post.”

Jeff Nye, “anything posted here can be seen as being implicitly endorsed by the authors…” I’m not sure if I would interpret this way. More like, they own the site and can do whatever the please with the content on this site, inlcuding user postings. But “endorsed” seems a little too far.

You might see not see it that way, but others have in the past.

I also like the comment about getting punched in the face for saying a comment. I’m glad Willie Boom Bloom doesn’t visit the site…..or does he?!?!!?

“Not WFB” would be a great name.
