tilted, tilted, titled, tilted, tilted, tilted, tilted, tilted, tilted, etc.
...it's a little redundant imho lol. When I first joined, having to scan over the word 'tilted' in forum titles was a little headache-y. And it still is. Maybe it'd be cleaner with just, 'Music,' 'Politics,' 'Life,' etc.? I think having 'Tilted' used in the category headers would be fine though.
Also, how about a 'Health, Mind & Body' forum? It seems general health topics are scattered through Discussion, Sexuality and Life. Having them all in one forum might be a nice way to keep things clean? Some people may enjoy playing doctor by reading through and replying to threads of this nature. Granted, having the staff move all those threads would suck for them. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/2229/twocents.gif |
We used to have a Tilted Health or Fitness or some such - but it was underused and therefore removed.

Have you noticed the little red and white triangle under everyone's avatar? That's the "report post" button. If someone says something you feel is questionable, report it. If you feel a thread should be in another section, and it's bothering you, report it.
This board relies upon members to report indecent posts, PMs, blog entries, wall posts, and so on. Just because we're here on the board every day, reading everything we can find, doesn't mean that we will catch everything. We're not likely to notice or care that someone is asking a weightloss question in general discussion. But if it bothers you, by all means report it with a note and we'll move it. |
I just caught a spammer... no one reported him. it was simple but the moment you read it it's a spammer.
the point of us here is to not be like other forums. and to that point we don't want our members to be like they are at other forums. ---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ---------- Quote:

You all are seriously defensive instead of remaining open. So much for 'Tilted Suggestions.'

woodsie, no particular moderator is assigned to any particular forum. we are just regular members here like everyone else here. we like posting as much as keeping an eye out for this place. at the same time, we dont catch everything or get to read every post and rely on our members to help us out. like GG said, if you come across anything you think we need to look out for, then report it. it will help flag it up for us for one of the moderators to look into it. we pride ourselves on our members being the extra hand around here. and for the record, not everything starts with a Mc at McDonalds |

But you go on to harp about our branding scheme, which was calmly explained. I'd like to add more to it though. Our forum naming scheme is designed to let people know what they should expect to be reading when they open the forum. This makes them bland in and of themselves, so we add the brand name to indicate our own little twist. We'd like to be viewed as a different kind of forum. Then you comment on moderation methods, which were then calmly explained. I'd also like to add a bit more. Since the TFP's inception over 7 and a half years ago, it has been a self-policed community. Moderators exist for when administrative action needs to be taken (can't give EVERYONE delete/edit/ban permissions) but we rely on the community to bring various violations to our attention. If you think these reasonings are off, come back with counter-points instead of telling us we're defensive. A good suggestion should stand up to justification. |
Quote:
I don't see these health-related threads as inappropriate or questionable, therefore clicking on the 'little red and white triangle' is pointless, along with the attitude I've been shown. I made a suggestion. Obviously some mods got on the defense. I won't be suggesting again. And yes, McD's doesn't have 'Mc' in front of everything because it's redundant. And that's my point lol. Good day! |
Great.
For trying to be straight-to-the-point I've now been called defensive. Thanks, hon. |

Do you really think I'm a stupid ass? Do you really think I don't know what 'report post' means and what it's intended for? I fucking reported a bestiality image of an octopus up a girl's ass that remained posted for 3 1/2 hours. No one else reported it, because as soon as I did, Baraka Guru (or whatever,) got right on it. You're welcome! [/thread] |
I'm glad you're willing to share your viewpoint with me on this matter.
I don't view you as stupid. I didn't realize you had reported a bestiality post in the past. Though I do recommend you edit your post there to remove the insults before someone else decides to give you an infraction for it. |

It's not there to rat on someone, it's there to alert. Maybe just let staff know that a thread is starting to get heated. Maybe to alter to a potentional underage or spammer. Maybe to say,"Clean up on aisle 4!" when something just goes off the deep end. woods, I'd like to take the time to say before you accuse of being defensive, take a look yourself, since your posture in the posts are much more defensive than any of my explanations here. just an observation. and while you may say, "but i wasn't being snarky, just sarcastic!" remember, there's no body language here, just words on a computer screen. |

Helping the mods keep things organized around here certainly isn't pointless. I was always under the impression that the members helping the mods when they can was an important part of this forum. /dead horse |
hektore that's a good example that I forgot to put up.
Many people use the New Posts function and they don't have any idea what forum something is posted in, this included staff. I try very hard to comb through the first page so that I can move things over at elast every other day. You can also think of it this way, this place is as nice as it is not only because people come here with different thought and can respect different viewpoints, but also because people care enough about the community to get involved. This means, getting involved in discussions to reporting posts for staff attention. That's all that it does, it brings it to our attention. Sometimes you'll get a thank you from a mindful staff member for taking the initiative, sometimes you'll not hear anything back. Either way it's a good tool to use. |
Maybe we should add a "The Report Post Button" section to the intro & rules threads.
Of course maybe there already is one, and I've simply not read/remembered it. *runs off to find the new users thread* |
What happens when you hit that button here? Do you have to fill anything out or does it just raise a flag in the admin side of things?
|
Perhaps I'm strange but I enjoy using the "Report Posts" feature. I like doing my part to help out the moderators and the community here. Think of it like picking up a piece of litter in a school hallway; sure, the janitor may be along later to do it, but why shouldn't you be nice and give them a hand?
|
try it..
it reports the post and allows you to comment on why you are reporting it if you feel the need to do so |

Really cool to see the other side! Thanks, gg!
|
Thanks gg, it is nice to see the other side of TFP. It will make it easier for me to use the report button when I know how it works on the other side.
|
I just wanted to note that I enjoyed the 'titled' that you snuck in the middle of the thread title. :thumbsup:
|
Whoa, that's hard to see.
|
If you're drunk, the title reads:
"Titties, titties, titties!" |

Here's a few that didn't make it... Tilted Pets, Tilted Health and Fitness, and Titled Marketplace. Heck we even had specific locations for those far flung around the world to discuss their own little sections. These were demanded over and over, in the end, they didn't get much traffic nor did they generate many discussions. Nothing looks like a crappy forum than dead forums that the last posted thread was months ago. |
I'm not sure I follow -
...did I come off as demanding with my suggestions? Or have the same suggestions been made before by others? I'll admit I didn't bother using the search function beforehand this time. Maybe I should have. |
no, if you look you'll see you aren't the first to come up with this particular suggestion. if you look for TFP Pets, you'll see that it was demanded over and over. Look up TFP Men's Lounge, and you'll see the same thing as well.
The board is long in the tooth, so we've done many innovate and different things. some have been utter failures, and others been positive growths. as far as the comments on the brand, well it's a little off putting to go to some friend's house and and point at the decor and claim it is tacky or off putting, which well, is about how I read the critique on tilted, tilted, tilted. |
Well in that case, your avatar is very slimming.
:expressionless: |

/another suggestion, maybe we should add a "we tried it and it failed/Ain't gonna happen" section to the 'About this forum' sticky. List the ideas that just aren't going to happen (aka Male equivalent to the Ladies Lounge), and the forums that were tried, didn't work and were then removed, like the regional forums and tilted health & fitness. |

Inappropriate Language- 1 point Insulting another member without intent to incite a response- 4 points Insulting another member with intent to incite a response - 6 points |

Personally, I'd be less likely to click on 'Health and Fitness,' as I don't like meatheads. But 'Health, Mind and Body' could cover a much broader spectrum. Depression, heart disease, suicide, genital warts, pink eye, etc. |
Meatheads? Wait... that reminds me of that grunting thread.
... Putting health and body-related discussion in neat little cubbyholes proves to be difficult. |

Calling another member 'rude' is not a flame. Now if I called you a bitch or dumbass, I'd welcome the infraction. |
If anything, I think this place needs fewer sections...

and all those things you're talking about are covered by Tilted Life. gential warts is covered by Sexuality since it is considered an STD. see... everyone seems to think that their idea is going to be that very different, unique thing.

Can you guys link me to this info? I was actually looking for infraction guidelines a while ago and couldn't find anything. |
Hi... might I interject on the report post button?
In fromBasics dark, it's a little pale white thing that I couldn't see without my glasses that there was an exclamation point on it when I was trying to report the Nokia phone spammer earlier in the week. Now that I know where/what it is, I'm much more likely to use it. And GG, if I accidentally reported you, I'm reeeeeeeally sorry. I hit the back button. :lol: If a thread is started, could you include what it looks like in the different styles? TFP green makes my astigmatism go haywire. Okay, I'm done. |

Can someone define "inappropriate" language? (in the context of getting an infraction)
|
I had no idea it was against any rule or anything. Nothing's posted about it in these guidelines. There's loads of cursing on the site. And I curse like a pissed Irishman yet have never been contacted by staff. Dunno what's up with that but it's maybe not enforced I guess?
|
Pretty sure that was just created as an option for unforeseen circumstances. Using racial epithets like nigger, chink, etc (outside of this current descriptive context) would be inappropriate language. You can keep posting shits, fucks, and asses to your heart's content ;)
Also, a note about the points we give for infractions: we don't advertise them 1) because, as Cynthetiq said, we don't want them to be abused, but also 2) because they are merely behind the scenes guidelines for the moderators. Context is important, and moderators are chosen for their judgment. If they feel a certain offense deserves more or fewer points, they are free to make that adjustment, so it would be inappropriate to advertise a set list of points given per type of infraction. |
Basically, you're allowed to say any word you damn well please. It is the context you use it in that might cause some problems.

maybe you should go out for a little while, get some ice cream or something.

How would that help? I don't even like ice cream.

I like this forum lol.
And some of the mods are great too. Thanks to those of you who hit me up to explain things a little better without having to talk down to me or what not. http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/5998/heart2l.gif |

Not all features are shown in all styles.
|
There's an add-on you can install to include a second custom user title for staff members that will apply to all skins. Small images can be used instead of text too - like a button or whatever.
Just a suggestion. No big deal. |
Bit more complicated than that. But as you may be observing, I am fixing it right now.
|
Right on! :)
|
The only style I really keep up to date is Insignia. Heh.
|
All the skins are nice. But dark is the easiest on mah eyes.
Thanks for the fix. It'll be a lot easier to learn who's who now. |
Halx doesn't use TFP Green?! Scandal!
|
I just realized that the join date's now gone (for BlackSmart at least.) Is there any way to bring it back?
I swear, this woods bitch will never be satisfied. |
Nope, join date is supposed to be gone. That's what you get for drawing Halx's attention ;) We don't like to display join date so that people don't make assumptions based on it.
|
fat change. nope. not going to happen.
it's not supposed to have been there, it should have been removed when we removed it from the other themes. newbies should be treated with the same care and respect that old timers should be. In fact there was a time where, old timers would discard someone's post out of hand strictly because the person was new. ---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ---------- awww damn.

:lol: Ohhh man, I thought the same thing too some time back when I was looking at Cyns profile ... I have no idea why though. First I assumed he was a chick, then a pothead ...
|
I did too! I thought he was a she.
The handle is a little feminine, not to mention the kitties. ...NOT that there's anything wrong with that. Moving forward, I don't have the option to change my user title. What do I need to do? |
synthetic isn't a masculine or feminine word.
you need to post more... |
So it's just up to staff when I'm allowed to change it? Or is there a number I need to reach?
|
why worry about it? why set it as a target or goal?
just post good thoughtful contributions :) it will happen when it does. |
I'm not worried lol. I'd simply like to know when I'll be able to change it from 'Addict' to something else.
|
There's a number. I forget what it is exactly, but it's high. It's a minor perk for sticking around and contributing a lot. It will change from addict before then - there are a number of system titles to run through as you contribute more.
|
^^ What he's saying is stop posting "lol" or one liner zingers and maybe you'll be able to change it. Either that or sleep with a mod.
When you get to "junkie" you'll be able to change it. |

Sleeping with a mod won't do anything, but free sex is always encouraged ;) We don't really have much control over it, it's just something that happens when a user's participation meets a certain set of criteria.

It's definitely minor. I was just wondering. |
I'm interrupting this quickly moving thread to plug TFP chat.
I'm in there a lot lately.. and I'm chatty. Come hang out! You may now return to your regularly scheduled postings. |
So, now that you've changed the BlackSmart theme to show who's an admin/mod, I have a question. Is there any way we can make that optional. Much for the same reason you guys don't like join dates displayed, I enjoyed not knowing who was in charge when they post. That was one of the main reasons I used the BlackSmart theme. When I needed an admin/mod I'd just use the "Forum Leaders" button.
|
Just can't win...
|
If it's not doable, it's no big deal. I just enjoy not knowing who the mods are.

It has nothing to do with the word 'synthetic.' It's the spelling you use. When I first read your username, I assumed your real name was 'Cynthia' and you just twisted it up a bit. Don't take any offense to it. I'm mistaken for a man occasionally. But that's just because my penis is enormous. |
