> I wish there was an easy answer to give you, but there isn't. Context is important.
*Yup context is important, but sometimes impossible to determine w/o asking I guess.
> In general, we don't go looking for problems, and if we see something that concerns us, we generally just keep an eye open. I think you'll see if you look back that we generally PBC before we block, probably more than Dr. Bob did. And you'll probably see that we don't block as much as Dr. Bob did. We'd like posters to work it out themselves if at all possible.*Oh sweet Dinah, I know you don't go looking for problems, why would you, you already plenty busy. I also know that the deps do the best they can, and they work with a difficult administrator...(civil?I dunno, but Bob does already know that I am OK w/him, if he also pisses me off!!kinda gneral already public knowledge...).
I agree and have said so in the past that I prefer the deps actions to Bobs. I find him much more harsh and unexpected.
And I agree that its important to (RECENTLY IMHO) PBC B4 blocking.But what I was really asking is does admin take action even if there is no notifications? I suppose if its very blatant then it would be advisable. But other than that, is it on a case by case basis based on notifications? Cuz if the poster on the receiving end doesn't mind...then why bother? I know I have in the past notified you guys that I am NOT offended by a post in order to not have a PBC happen to someone who I know didn't mean badly to me. That being said, is this ANOTHER useful function of the notification button for you guys? A more positive one?
BTW I am thankful the deps do what they do, I know when you guys started out, this is not what you expected...
There is a reason I am NOT a dep...
I am not as dedicated as you guys to the cause of babble I guess.
So for that, I thank you.
Cuz I think this would be a much wilder place w/o the help of the deps.
Thx again,
M
