Do You Have Questions about Kavar's Corner?

Recommended Posts

A question: Why is the forum named after Master Kavar?

 

After a lengthy discussion of some names too horrible to mention, this was the best we could come up with. :p (Or to give proper credit, that stoffe came up with)

 

Mainly because we wanted Onderon included in a forum title, and wanted something that would imply seriousness but nothing too formal. Kavar was Talia's unofficial adviser, and gave her advice on serious topics but it wasn't as formal as the Senate (or in retrospect, the SC).

@Emperor Devon--go for it.

 

@SilentScope--I could make something up about Onderon being a political planet and Kavar having wisdom as a Jedi Master, but the truth is, stoffe came up with the name and we just all really liked how it sounded. The fact that it had all the implications Emperor Devon described above was the clincher.

Yeah I'd go with that, but there's a lot of facets to the topic that might come across well in an actual thread. NAMBLA for example, the penalties for child predators, people who try and alert others of where these people live and that idea could be pushed further into whether the athorities should inform people of this, vigilanties such as those who use the Internet to hunt down sites or entrap individuals, artistic portrayals, children are definatly out but what about for example Mission, the question of consent, could these be worthy issues at all?

You could raise those, but you'd probably find everyone unanimous in that pedophiles should be punished harshly, child porn is bad and that being lustful is fine if you don't harm anyone. I don't think you'll have to particularly careful in tackling the topic, regardless of how many of those issues you address.

This is a serious-topic discussion forum, and some topics are indeed going to be volatile. No one's required to participate in a given thread, especially if they know it's a hot-button subject for them. We're trying to make sure the volatile subjects don't have flaming in them, and we'll do our best to address that. However, we can't expect everyone to agree 100% with someone else, or to not feel strongly about a subject. I understand your concern about the volatility of some subjects; however, I don't think we want to declare a particular topic off-limits unless it violates the rules.

My first experience in a debate thread was brutal. I had at least four to five people hammering me. I wouldn't post in here unless you are ready for some tag-teaming. Be very prepared. Don't let your guard down.

 

Do the normal forums rules apply here?

 

There was noting wrong with the posts in thread, you were in a discussion with two Mods in the thread. One (me) who is a Brit, and really not fussed about the American presidential election. The normal forums apply - but quite simply - there was, as a guardian of the peace nothing in thread that hasn't been moderated that would require moderation.

 

What specifically do you think was incorrect about what occurred in thread?

Your choice, honestly.

 

I had at least four to five people hammering me.

Be prepared for some discussion when you make outlandish claims.

 

I wouldn't post in here unless you are ready for some tag-teaming.

 

 

And/or unless you're prepared to defend your viewpoints with some facts.

Tag-teaming happens when you have an issue with two sides and a forum that has more than 3 members.

 

Be very prepared. Don't let your guard down.

 

No one should ever let their guard down.

Do the normal forums rules apply here?

Twice as much, actually.

Stating the obvious without adding anything to the discussion is spam.

 

For example if I were to post in a dead thread something along the lines of

Very good point, I totally agree with you assessment of the topic[/Quote] That would be spam. I would be warned and should I continue someone would infract me.

 

Now if were to post in that thread, but instead of just merely stating the obvious, I added addition information to the topic, such as a link to new information, then that would not be considered spam. Although if I posted a link to information that had already been posted in the thread, but I was too lazy to read the posts in the thread before posting it myself, then that to would be spam.

 

Add to the discussion in a productive way and you will not have to worry about moderating.

how can we tell what is and isn't spam for this thread?

 

Please read the SW:K Forum Rules (click me)

 

mimartin was entirely correct in his Moderation. Resurrecting month old threads with a sentence long reply violates Rule 8. f) of the Forum Rules

 

8. f) If you want to add something to a thread that you have recently posted in, and no one else have made any new posts in, edit your last post in the thread instead of creating a new one. If several days have passed where no one has posted anything and you have something substantial to add to the thread you may make a new post instead.

 

You neither used the edit function, nor did you add anything substantial to the thread in question; you just in fact spammed it with a post which contained nothing new to the conversation, and indeed your previous post (1 post above your now deleted one) contained far more detail.

 

What you did also, incidentally violates rule 6 of the forum rules too;

 

6. Bumping

 

Please do not make posts simply to move the topic back up to the top of the forum. This is called ‘bumping’ and is not allowed. If people have something relevant to post on that topic, they will.

 

It also breaks Rule 5. a) on spamming too;

 

5. a) Do not post messages that are irrelevant to the topic or attempt to derail the conversation. Your posts should contribute to the thread in some manner.

 

Your posts did not contribute anything new to the discussion and as such were spam.

 

When I said something that did in fact have to do with the post, someone told me it was spam.

 

That someone was mimartin, and he was again correct with reference to it being spam.

 

Then it happened again for a similar reason. I stuck to the topic, what did I do wrong?

 

You added nothing to either topic, and resurrected threads which had seemingly run there course. If it happened for a similar reason does that not tell you something? Furthermore I hope I have addressed exactly what you did wrong.
