Editing Rights Question

So far there's mockery, tearing down, and libel. The notion that merely because someone says they're a Jedi, or an organization has Jedi in its name, makes them good and worthy and entitled to respect is a pile of sour owl poo. There's other questions and issues I'm not ignoring just not addressing yet. One at a time. This is not directed at a single person but several. If the shoe fits ....

Please show me any statement that is not true on BecomeTheFarce.com - if it's all true with verifiable references then please explain how it's mockery, tearing down, or libel (libel must be a false statement).

Again, you missed the point of the thread, John.

The question at hand isn't to discuss the validity of the content of the site you created.

It's to discuss the validity of the action you took in moderating a link to redirect to your site in lieu of the site it originally linked to, because you personally don't like that original site.

Yes people have commented their opinion about your site, but that's still not the actual issue at hand...

I may have the definition of libel incorrect, I meant it to be more "mud slinging" than anything. But I don't have the spoons or care to go fact checking because it just doesn't mean that much to me (I didn't read more than the titles on the page). But this isn't about respect for another website, this is about respect for OUR website, TotJO, how we handle things here, how we respect our members and rules, and how we respect ourselves.

As a personal note, I do appreciate websites that put the time into fact checking and making those facts available. Snoops is one of my favorite places to visit.

I don't go on your site and tell people your issues or criticize the way you do things.

Two things. First I didn't tell anyone your issues. You have clearly made those known by your responses here. Secondly, if I am acting out of line and abusing my administrator abilities - then not only would you be more than welcome to criticize, but the members would support you in doing so (as seems to be the case here, thankfully). Of course I'd need to actually abuse that responsibility first. But by all means. Swing by my place.

That would be rude.

No, it would be honest. It would be fair. It would be holding Jedi and Administration accountable. Besides - you make it seem like I came here. Sought out a post. And then made an issue of it. I replied to a post, noticed edits. That made me curious. And I noticed the transgression. Decided to ask about it because it directly impacts me as a poster here.

You could have PM'd me and asked about it. You could have PM'd member affairs about it.

Do you know why it being public upsets you? Because you know what you did was wrong. If you truly felt that what you did was okay, you wouldn't respond in this manner. Yes, I could have kept things under the table. But that is not my style. I saw something that I found issue with and I asked if it was the norm. Because that directly impacts my own involvement with this Community. I post here too (albeit rarely), so having understanding of how loose the editing rights are for mods and admins is a direct concern. Especially since I have in the past been a part of forums that would edit and change and even delete posts of its members at the whim of those in-charge. And I am not going to invest my time and energy into a place if that investment isn't respected. So I asked.

The only person with a right to complain is the poster.

lol No. All members here have a voice. And it is their right to speak up when they see something questionable happen. If I saw a person being robbed, I can still report that to the police - it isn't only the victim with the right to complain. Not only that but anyone who posts on this website should have a honest concern of editing at a whim. Sure it is his post today - might be my post tomorrow and another's post the day after. Staying silent because it didn't happen to me is not only logically flawed, but just never going to happen.

Have another drink

Really? How old are you again?

As for the rest - the other people seem to have understood my concern (nod to Jedi Kit and Jedi Light). What is the accepted level of moderation at this forum? That has been answered to a certain level. Along with appropriate action of editing done according to the standard posting rules of the website. In which I express my appreciation to the mature Jedi involved in that (Special Shout Out to Jedi Light and Jedi Hatter). As I said - you are allowed to make and dedicate whatever resources you want to websites mocking other people and groups. That isn't my concern. Only the apparent misuse of admin ability. Which again is simply something I wanted to know for myself so I can adjust my own involvement as necessary.

Thank you TotJO Knights and Mods - appreciate the response. May the Force be with you. 0123456789

End result:

Is the way this was handled by leadership appropriate?

If not, how do we go about fixing it?

Are there currently things in the works to address the issue already?

What can be done until such things are released to advance the goals of community building?

Edit: This is my basic OODA Loop for this stuff. Did we observe something inappropriate, we orient on the issues at hand and how we can address it, we make a decision on what is currently ongoing and what we can do to improve, and then we act to support the desired result.

Sometimes people that have no knowledge th history can have a more objective perspective Ob1.
Knowing the specifics is not necessarily compulsory as all human conflicts emanate from the same patterns.
I didnt order anybody to do anything but it is true I incited.
Whatever the nature of the conflict compassion is always a good answer where there is pain.
For some my action was bad for some it was good.
I appreciate your feedback.
