Harsh Modding? Cast your vote!
« on: July 19, 2011, 01:14:16 AM »
A few members that I am currently aware of believe that the mods and I are being elitist assholes (or something analogues, perhaps less harsh and insulting); I certainly do not feel I am being that way as I try to listen to everyone and implement the ideas I feel are good; I have implemented many ideas from akcom and other members.... for instance things like no referral links, HTTPS, no front page, etc.

I also try to push for quality content to reach and produce information that is not easily available on other sites such as Psychonaut or the Shroomery. Some people feel this push is detrimental to the forums quality and community.

Please speak up and let me know how you feel about this and any other closely related issue. If you want to complain about a certain moderator, send me a PM and I would be happy to listen and I won't tell them;  you can also say it straight to their face and no negative consequences should come of it, however.

Contact/Post any concerns or issues you have with our moderation...Please? Even if you don't often post otherwise...


Also use this discussion as perhaps... 'reference' to where and why this poll originated, and consider what the other members (shake, and the lone stranger) are saying...

I don't know much about technical stuff but...

Honestly,rules are good,they keep forum free from garbage,even if it's my own.
Replying with non-threathening  warnings/repeating rules and throwing posts that
lack knowledge,research and sometimes even sanity in "den of inquiry" is not being an asshole.
Being assholes is banning people w/o explanation,humiliating someone for
lack of knowledge/information source etc. And I don't remember when I saw that here last time.

Some minor problems and annoyances are:
-It's not allways completely clear where exactly,how and what to post.

-"ghetto talk" represents true human degeneracy and I agree that it should be
terminated here in the start,but nobody like grammar freaks too!

-ethnocentrism
As I repeated it many times: Different things are differently available OTC in different countries!
When someone allready has bunch of equipment,chemicals and shows some knowledge and he
asks how to get things like MeOH,hexamine,various salts and so on,it's clear that those can't be
bought in his "Wall-Mart,EBay,specialized hobby stores" etc.
For people outside of UK,Burma,Liberia and USA imperial units are borderline insane.
SI system is great for many reason,it's very easy and precise to work with base units and number 10!


What you want to change is based on final goal of this forum.
Is it to be chemistry elite and one of the kind or to teach masses how to
make war on drugs concept ridiculous.
IMHO inventing very easy new methods to get now banned supstances from very OTC sources
(those that can't be much controlled w/o harming economy and society) we can achieve both!

Maybe there should be more public and more private part of the forum to serve both purposes?

Hope I helped.
Welcome to my lab,
where you can choose your own dreams!

hate to break it to you, but not everyone has access to academic journals.  sometimes an idea is posted with the hopes that someone with access to references will post them.

as far as I'm concerned, maintaining a good signal/noise ratio would best be achieved by simply removing posts where the OP is either obviously tweaked out on drugs (that is, cant write a complete sentence,,,,,, without punct.iona like thisss???) or the question is bottom of the barrel (whats the best way to make meth from P2P).  Let everything else go to its natural conclusion.  Stifling conversation isn't in anyone's best interest.

hive/serious/000069775.html
just a reminder that even the stupidest of questions can lead to an interesting discussion.  it's also interesting to note that the admins here didn't call the original poster's idea trash and move it to vacuous posts.

edit:  this is looking like a fox news poll, how about we limit it to:
No, the moderators are overvigilant
Yes, the moderators are doing a good job.
Other

I really doubt anyone here feels we are 'undermoderated'

The only good post in that thread was the first one.. but the rest of it was just shit - as stated in the bottom; "...The Onion News network, and god knows what else doesn't belong in the "Main" sections of this site - let alone ones that I suggest have references, and others...

Try to stay on topic more... please?"

Agree again, though the last one had its OP heavily modified, and I think it was broken off from another thread? Perhaps not though.
The first thread seems fine IMO

I think the idea is good, and being vigillant is good, just not to the point where people are afraid to post anything

why would i care about the new rules? i have plenty to add to this forum legitimatly, so you can count me out as one of those people.

I didnt call anyone assholes, all i am saying is we can achieve the same goal politely, and maybe rename the section called vacous posts.

If anything, I reckon that until recently, you weren't quick enough to slap people who stepped (majorly) out of line.

I like the relatively relaxed climate here, but we cannot afford to become TOO soft on people, it will encourage potentially risky security breaches. Like naming sources in public. For instance.  I won't say that I have never sent somebody a tip, but I never have, and never will do so publicly.

I will not vote as its kind of a conflict of interest but I would like to say something. I haven't voted either - Enkidu

I have watched forum after forum after forum pretty much go to hell and turn into typical TEK talk and relatively useless post. This has been the result of people with little understanding of chemistry or the dynamics of Chemist/DEA relations flooding the boards and bringing them to there knees with age old rehashes of topics.

I however have NEVER seen a board go under due to harsh mods. I have however seen sites like RS thrive due to the fact that they bitch slapped people around for worthless post faster then you could blink. Without that it would have no doubt become a how to make acetone peroxide board same as how sites like this would become "how does me make meth" board. The harshness promoted research amongst members and discouraged lazy post. 

There are plenty of members here who would not have lasted on RS and many many post that would have not lasted a day. If you feel we are harsh you haven't seen nothing compared to how it could and IMO should be.

My philosophy is if ya don't like the climate where you live, move.

I'm not even gonna read all the replies as my feelings wouldn't change based on them.

I see no advertisements, which means someone, probably Vesp, is paying for this site. This site is private property, not public. If the rules become too much to bear I will leave, as should anyone who somehow believes they have a god given right to use someone else's private property in a way that best suits them.

It really is that simple.

As they say...when in rome, do as the romans do.

reDEEMed is right...vesp has pulled up resources to sort out a site thats turned into something quite impressive, quite quickly, good member base, good signal to bullshit ratio, few arsewipes, spammers, and assorted other cunts...and its not free either I am sure to him.

So if the rules/moderation become too much, or are percieved as really oppressive, and after reasonable discussion, requesting change, etc, if this isn't something that results in an acceptable change...then better to bugger off, and find somewhere else.

 I've got to agree with the last two posts

I've been moderated, and when done politely, and explained to me "why?" I have  NO problems with either the rules or the Mods

Its Vesps baby, and I thank him for it again

Hey you, trying to make a clown out of me, prohibiting to post into this thread from my clones? You are a clown instead, and everybody will understang that from this post.
To everyone: From today/yesturday I am a banned person here, so don't think everything is ok if i am able to post. They(mods) banned me for life, now are trying to make alien out of me, resuscitated me, when they probably seen my following post they decided to make a comedy and re-banned me for a while, to make some fun for others. While i was banned and could not post, i tried to post the following message from other account, there was some "error" i guess not from a technical origin. Now a re-ban and see if i take my words back? No way! The only my fault now is that i did not continue attempts to write from other names, and use this one, but thats not my fail, i merely want to finish with this post today and not waste my time tomorrow. On the other hand, thank you for giving me such opportunity to write my last post from my original account! I even started thinking you are not such coward for a while, but...but...many buts . 
So following message was original that i was going to post:
Quote
Re: Harsh Modding? Cast your vote!
Not kidding? OK, lets start with me
First, a message for mods(calm down one of you, your trousers will serve you more if you crap less inside, and just listen)  : This is my last post ever on this forum, i will never again "spam" or "clutter" here, as you call it, or bother you with my presence. Just wanna have last opportunity to say a word, because you opened this thread to listen to others, just last word, and i think i deserve it since i had 160+ messages here, no penalties and complains from other members(even some thanks), bothered myself with writing a vast number of theoretical explanations, diagrams, mechanisms(other members can find them by my name zzhuchila-clocker or zzhuchila_clocker ) for people, which you thought were useless but still did not have guts to call them "spam" according to rules(stupid people and junks WILL call that spam, and i understand that perfectly, but i hope, i did not write all that for junks and clockers!), and banned me for nothing.
Also i think i deserve a last post, because i was wasting my time writing a post today unless i received a ban message instead of "post submitted". That is low of you, i know you were not aware i was writing, or more likely, you don't care.
So mods, what i kindly request is, gather guts not to delete this message, since there is not sufficient rules violation(you can ban me though he he for being bit rude), and because it does not "clutter search engine results", as you call it. If you still hesitate, i forgot to tell you that i'm not zz-zhuchila clocker, but his SWIM or his uncle.

Actually, what did happen:
Today, after about 2,5 years i've been on the forum, with no rules violation before, no complains from members ever(just few thank you's) and any notifications from mods, today i recieved following message:
"Sorry zzhuchila_clocker, you are banned from using this forum!
Banned for being a Bardo sock puppet :)
This ban is not set to expire"
Proof : http://imageshack.us/f/9/modsg.jpg/
I believe, what did happen: Enkidu had seen my today's post here
http://127.0.0.1/talk/index.php/topic,2444.msg25660.html#msg25660
, and thought " how good it was without him!" , because i really post here quite seldom, guess why. Then he thought that "he is not contributing". Then he thought  "forum is cluttered because of those like zhuchila, thats why search is working not properly", and that my message is "absolutely useless, because there are only proposals and he did not provide all the references". In fact, Enkidu always asks for references even for simpliest things and even proposals (some that don't even require refs that are based only on theory) that indicates poor knowledge of the latter. It was him who said that debenzylation(either oxygen or nitrogen i don't remember) can be done with sodium borohydride, which he called "a common reagent for debenzylation". There could be other epic fails of him, but for now i remember only this and something about shiff base reactivity, where he thought that making an imine kills amine's nucleophility and protects it from methylation with MeI. Anyway, what i am talking about now? The most interesting thing is, do you know why he thought so? He he, because of a reference! He read some book about imine chemistry and there were, o my god, no examples about N-alkylation of imines, and he seemingly thought such reaction does not exist. Thats why he asked a reference after i said that imines are not inert towards alkylhalide alkylators(which he thought was the case). Thats why he demanded a reference when I was saying something about nitrogen electron pair, electronic effects, that imines are bases that can be protonated, but he couldn't believe me without a reference! And probably, can't believe now, because the reference i provided was for some of aliphatic or aromatic imines, and he had the opposites in his example. That is fuckin' ridiculous. I would not explain for clockers and junks, but for chemists i think everything is clear here. I would say, it isn't a chemistry forum attitude.  In the last times i guess his problem has grew more, and that was the reason of this thread opening.  You can see that easily if you read his posts. For example, read this thread:
http://127.0.0.1/talk/index.php?action=profile;u=81
And see the argumentation between akcom and Enkidu, followed by my "cluttering" post. From that is clear, that Enkidu was one who banned me, without taking time to learn the rules of the forum and giving me any bad karma or penalties/notifications ever. Banned for life, not for a week or two, while there is such an option AFAIK(if i was banned before for a week or two but couldn't see it because i find this forum unworthy of everyday visiting, then make some PM notification for this kind of ban for such cases in future).

Also, i think you Vesp are also capable of the things happening and you were aware that i will be sooner or later pissed off.  Once i've seen a message from you in an invitation thread something like " if they don't contribute, we simply ignore them". Guess why i remembered that your sentence, if you can't i will write about it bit later. Now, Vesp, i understand what did you mean by "ignore". What you or the one you turned loose on me had done today for a "non-contributing" wasp, _IS_ true _IGNORANCE_.
 
Now, few words about "contributing", "cluttering" and so on. You guys seem to forget to take your meds. Why are you at all sure that these two things exist and form the climate on the forum in the way you imagine it? I know, there are many forums about drugs with idle talk of junks and nothing about chemistry, and you want something different here, good. But that depends mostly on people, of course on rules also, but neither rules will help you to make a good drug chemistry forum, if there are no people interested in chemistry. If you want only to restrict and prohibit, do it at acceptable levels. Your war on "cluttering" and "contrubution" is a deviation and seems like schizophrenia, you will not make forum better by that. Stop doing that immediately. For good chemical forum you need to find people. How can you find people? Make _good_ conditions for them and they will come. I was writing over SM once but left that place, because i thought Nicodem was too suppressive and came here. At the first sight it seemed a neat place, but within time i became to realize, that attitude of some people, including mods does not form a good climate here. I would explain: my theory-oriented and theory-based posts found misunderstanding by a many people here, they ignored theory as if it was a junkie forum with only exception that junks don't use the word "refference" and "patent" so frequently. People operating with papers and patents with no knowledge of theory look ok, unless they start bravado and neglect theory and the people who post based on theory. This is what i faced here within time, and when situation was not going to change, moreover this attitude found only acceptance and endorsement in moderator community, it did not take make much effort for me to become not regular here(this place became not interesting). Still, i visited it occasionally to see weather something improved or not, but mostly i faced same here: old topics with no responses, boring and not interesting topics with names containing words "fentanyl", "heroin" and other street drugs, topics which discuss "how to make a synthesis of some substance more kitchen-friendly for a kitchen chemist who is not interested in chemistry and not willing to learn theory, just waiting for the others to feed him with references and patents that he'll jerk off on, keeping the result being sabotage". That is not a chemical approach. That is the reason why i added word "clocker" to my name, to feel hovering somewhere at your level, not kidding here.
Now it is my time to leave this place finally, in accordance to the zero-dropped level of the forum and moderators behavior. Ban just coincides with that, because i am not going to register again(most banned people, if they liked the place, re-register). So don't make me and others feel that this forum is a great place and that zhuchila-clocker is a pariah or "Bardo sock puppet" as you called it, everyone who has eyes will see that this forum has problems, that you mods are struggling to resolve now (by opening threads like this), but doing it from the wrong side (by banning people like me).

Vesp, i found your exact message:
Quote
but if they don't show respect or contribute we generally just get rid of them or ignore them
Get rid.. Considering a bee like a waste material, that you can get rid off after it stopped "contributing"- does not make a favor to you and this forum a good reputation.  Bee or wasp is not a slave that must day and night contribute you something, and you are not a drone. No one is obliged to contribute for not being banned.  This your philisophy about "theorize- search-request-experiment-contribute", which you depicted as a cycle if i'm not mistaken, seems too obvious and doubtful(in the way you understand it) for me. It can be good to stimulate junks with rabbit brains, that otherwise will only talk about nothing. Now you banned me for nothing, "not contributing", huh.. If i knew there is a rule like that, about obligatory contribution, i would never registered on such forum and thus neither complained, but i believe there is no such rule. Yes, there is something about "contribute" in rules but not clear about ban. And i think that was personal antipathy of Enkidu, that resulted in a ban, because today i contributed (provided a refference for solid oxide base catalyzed o-nitrotoluene condensation with carbonyl compounds, that can _really_ make ketamine synthesis more kitchen-friendly if it works with cyclopentanone). Enkidu banned me instead(maybe i did not provide references for simplest reactions or whatever)  , while he could do it before, when i was long not even posting here, and, so to say, "contributing".
My last advice to you is - if you want to keep this forum at a high chemistry level, then you should allow for different people to come here, not only "contributors". For any, who is or was interested in the chemistry of drugs. Not all of them have possibility to "contribute", many can't physically do any experiments due to no conditions for that and they post only theory. People are the clue of the forum, not rules. You will never make a good chemistry forum with severe rules and no people _interested_ in chemistry of drugs.  Your rules are shit, my example proves it. I was not banned for years writing the same things, and now suddenly got banned. Severe rules without bad karma or its analogue is a nonsense. I did not have any complains or notifications. Now you resuscitate me for nothing, that is also ridiculous, not according to any rules. I was recalling in memory that your "we simply get rid or ignore them" for long, i did not recall it only today. Thats because i always wonderen about meaning of that sentence, and now finally understood whan you meant.

Now Enkidu. Stop your "cluttering" paranoia. I've heared this word from you long ago, and since that time you became bothered about that. The way how you think "cluttering" is responsible for the dropping level of this forum and problems with search exists only in your imagination. On a serious chemical forum, not a cook forum, you will never make an easy search engine to find the most informative and practice related posts rather than less informative. If you don't understand that, that is dumb of you.. If you are working for clockers, in order to make search easier for them, putting all theory based topics into vacous section, that is another question that i am not going to discuss. Also i am not going to discuss your refference- paranoia, everything was said above. Just first cure the clutters in your had, maybe after that you won't see so many here on the forum. Simple gestalt-therapy by zhuchila.

For all. I think many of you thought i am a strange member here, writing only theoretical posts, speaking in a weird manner, maybe a nerd or whatever. I am happy if you managed to read till here, that i can tell you that i merely have a beginner level of english and live not in an english speaking country like most of you. Thats why it could seem sometimes i am retarded, but in fact i am not. Both moderators knew i am not english speaker, but did not tell me in PM "hey man, stop, your posts are unreadable" even a single time. Preferred to ban. That is exact attitude what moderators have towards any member here - use them as contributors, and then without any notification piss off. If moderators will try to make a show out of that, saying that i am crazy and the ban was due to some mistake on the forum, that will be only further spoiling their reputation. Please don't believe them in this case, this is a part of their same fault play. Besides above i had explained why it was Enkidu who banned me.
 
btw: if that was Sedit rebanning me after a PM, i want to say thank you. You are the mod i have no complains to, and never had. As i could see from your posts recently, your level of organic chemistry is better then ever, that means you gain knowledge, not only reading a cook-book references and patents, and your attitude shows you are a chemist rather then cook.   

I will not come here any more, so you may not respond me, only to see if this post was deleted or text changed. I'll  make a screen shot of the whole post, so better not try to delete it or write anything from my name, if you don't want your reputation further to spoil.

With that being said, i don't know what else to add..  Long live the vespiary, but i think that is impossible if moderator content won't change or won't change their attitude. I won't say "faster die the vespiary" either.
Better to say,
Arrivederci, clockaz!
(though not all, sorry to those who are not)

Best regards,

"Ego is a structure that is erected by a neurotic individual who is a member of a neurotic culture against the facts of the matter. And culture, which we put on like an overcoat, is the collectivized consensus about what sort of neurotic behaviors are acceptable."

You weren't intentionally banned, zzhuchila_clocker. The IP that you and several other people were posting from (I guess) was banned, but obviously your username was not. This should indicate that we have nothing against you because if we did, we'd have banned your username.

NOW I BANN YOU FOR CLUTTERING THIS THREAD! Just kidding. I have nothing against you.

I have to say that I was wrong about the debenzylation; at least, I can't find the refs for it that I thought I had. As for the nucleophilicity of the imine, we still have our difference of opinion. If you want to revisit those topics, you are quite welcome to.

EDIT: Got so excited about responding to ZZs post that I forgot what I originally intended to say: THE FOLLOWING BEARS REPEATING TEN THOUSANDFOLD

I see no advertisements, which means someone, probably Vesp, is paying for this site. This site is private property, not public. If the rules become too much to bear I will leave, as should anyone who somehow believes they have a god given right to use someone else's private property in a way that best suits them.

It really is that simple.

The remainder of my post is basically OT, srry bout it. /EDIT

I will not come here any more, [...] only to see if this post was deleted or text changed. I'll  make a screen shot of the whole post, so better not try to delete it or write anything from my name, if you don't want your reputation further to spoil.

WOW paranoid much?!?  :o  ???

Just....jesus H christ.

Chilllll son, accidental bans happen all the time

Seriously, I was banned from the collective today for absolutely no reason, and guess what? that ban is set to expire never (undoubtably an IP issue, just like you've experienced). Continue guessing what: $20 says tomorrow I'll be able to sign back in there with no issue - it has happened to me before, and I guarantee it will probably happen to me again.

You say that you've been a member for 2.5 years with no complaints/warnings etc, then whyTF do you have such a huge fucking chip on your shoulder??  If you hate this place sooooo much, think soo little of it, dislike the "clockers" as you call everyone here (you say at the end of your post that "not everyone here is a 'clocker'" AFTER calling all of us clockers like 10 times lol) then why do you contribute such useful material?

How ON EARTH do you deal with everyday mishaps and annoyances in the real world if getting accidentally banned from an internet forum freaked you out that much?

Smoke a bowl or something son, goddamn.

NO!!! NOT MORE METH DAMMIT   >:(

I echo Enkidu, I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST YOU, not even this absolutely hilarious run-away reaction of a post, but seriously, next time just try counting to ten, rub your ear lobes, and say "whooooozaah"?  ;D

And the boy's father was shouting:

The infant was, in fact, doing 'the stanky leg.'

Believe me boy, I seen everything.

^Also I told all mods not to ban on IP but only accounts. -- I think? Pretty sure I said that to some, if not all.

I thought all of the IP bans  were all removed?

Anyways, expect some bugs like that; I've given mods more permission than previously as I can't and don't keep up with all the issues. So they need more power to help me more.

Sorry been... uninterested in this site lately, and as such you haven't seen much of me.

 All I have to say is it is a bitch to please everyone all the time on a site such as this. I listen to people, some mod make mistakes, some members make mistakes, I make mistakes -- and within all of that there is a lot of misunderstanding people, and many go crazy about different things.

You have done a great job if you ask me. And you didn't, but I'm a mouthy bastard so I'll tell it as I see it.

Mouthy autie bastard at that, so that goes severalfold :P

You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of them, all of the time. If people don't like your honest best efforts to reasonably please most, then tell them to sit on it, choke and die. Nicely...usually. Sometimes not so nicely, if one is dealing with a bona fide A-grade wanker.
