That and I'm willing to back what he said.
i did not make him chauvinist for what he said about the rating system, but for what he said about romanians. but then again, maybe your not familiar with the term and that'n no shame - a lot aren't. that behavior is uncalled for and weak, as i have already said.
about backing him up: what are you talikng about, becasuse your confusing me? if you back him up for his trash against other nations, they you're no better. if you're talking about the rating system, i already said i agree with his point of view and you should've known that by reading my other posts, before jumping into the thread.

cilu and ovidiu: please step up and make a statement. is it true or not? get it over with.

I think there's a lot of hang-over that people need to get over with.
YSG - Let me ask you - if you are and were so worried about the negative rating - did you report to Brad about it? If you have a NO as an answer - don't drag it more!
And what for do I need to read the whole thread - I have following it very closely and you will find that I would be one of the people posting in this thread actively. Let's see what you have to say about what I said that you quoted in your last post.

I am not taking sides here, but he did not say anything derogatory about Romanians. Let's examine the statement once again :

Ya, ratings...moderators...ya...G's up...right?
Or was it a sixer? You guys had a good round-robin...six up, six down. You know the score.
So, ratings, what?
He seems to be dumping on a couple of guys and in passing he calls them x and y the Romanians. That does not make the statement Anti-Romanian. Or are you upset beacuse somebody makes some remarks about two of your countrymen ?
BTW, where were you when these two guys were trashing the Roma ? I see no substantive difference between Anti-Roma and Anti-Semitic comments and such statements were in clear violation of AUP. Yet none of the moderators saw fit to make the smallest protest.

This discussion is going nowhere, do you realy believe if someone says something like that ? Even if someone has to accuse, does it matter, Don't people get help from Cilu & Ovidiu ? Why provoke ?
The best thing to do would be either drop the subject or ignore it.
No offence to anyone here, but guys this is not going to help anything, what good are you expecting out of this discussion ?
Re: Has CG gone to the crapper?
[Continued]
You can see it here
That is not all, it was just the tail end of it.
Here is some more
Fortunately they stopped after I protested. I have nothing personal against anyone, just stating the facts as they are.

Thats the point! Discussing rating system or Ads in open should be just meant to get public opinion. The decisions should be made by the people who are authorized to take it. There can never be a 100% support in whatever is decided. I can question it but it should not stop my life. It is not that important. It is not that worth! And if everyone starts to play role into decision making - there is a chance it becomes a mess!

I did not understand this - are these terms or casual terms? What is anti-roma/anti-semitic?

Yeah, nothing but bad things come out as a result of such threads/discussions, think of the accusations & someone reading who dont know anything about these guys, he/she would get a wrong impression.

that is irrelevant and out of scope for this discussion.
Re: Has CG gone to the crapper?

This is the stupidest thing that I have seen people fight over.. may be its time to refresh your viewpoint.. whoever "you" are!

It's generally bad Karma if you are found to be harbouring such feelings. See what happened to Mel Gibson.

You can look up the meaning of the terms in Wikipedia.
Re: Has CG gone to the crapper?
OK. This thread has gone way beyond its original scope. I see people continuing to fight here, throwing dirt at each other, thus this thread is closed again. Anyone having a problem with that should send a PM to Brad Jones.
Re: Has CG gone to the crapper?
I agree with the closing of this thread. If you want to have serious comments on improving Codeguru, then do it in the Feedback Forum - not in Chit Chat.
Being the admin, I get to make a couple of comments --
Going around the profanity filters and posting duplicates intentionally (SPAM) are violations. Anyone that has been on the forum more than a few months knows these will get you banned.
Ratings were introduced to the Codeguru forums *way before I was here*. We removed them when we first switched to the vBulletin software, but we brought them back. When we first removed them there were a lot of posts and complaints saying to bring them back. I took a beating for them not being rolled over. As such, I kept them on the plan and we brought them back. As such, it is interesting to note that Codeguru was going to the crapper because we removed the ratings, then it was going to the crapper because we added the ratings. When you have well over half a million people lurking around, not everyone is going to be happy on every decision.
If there are suggestions and issues, let's talk about them professionally in Feedback. Let's avoid the mob approach as it generally only causes people to quit listening. It definitely doesn't provide me the supportive information to get changes made.
Brad!
