Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile?

@cleeds based on the fact that my comment about the site (it wasn't so much about the site but about the comments defending the site) was removed in less than 8 hours, my feedback/constructive criticism may not be welcome.

Just a guess 👻

on a second thought: the comment policing here is childish at best, terrifying at worst. I grew in a dictatorship (still a dictatorship today, back there) and I am keenly aware of the State destroying free speech and any sign of criticism. Here, on this occasionally fun but mostly silly comment flow dump/absolutely harmless forum, there is zero reason to delete comments that point out the obvious that this framework/engine is so old, so outdated, it's almost like driving a vintage automobile: hard and unpleasant and scary but if you are old, it feels familiar, and brings back memories. For a normal person though, with reasonable technical skills, this site is joke.

@cleeds 

It bothers me. Doesn't bother me more than an SUV taking up 2 spaces a the supermarket or dog poop on my side walk, but it does bother me. Enough to comment on it.

@vonhelmholtz what was it? :)

@nonoise no excuses! 

😊

@nonoise 

yesterday I lost 3 comments because the system prompted me to update my phone number. It was painful

@nonoise so I just think this forum engine is ready to be driven off the cliff. It's so bad, it's not worth patching up. 

this address verification is ridiculous too, I entered my address and it said "INVALID"!!!?????????

Do you guys know how to validate addresses? I'd be happy to help, I do it for a living - GIS

@yogiboy send me a link dude because I don't have those options

@jetter 

 "have had zero issues with this website" that's what the islander said when he first saw a Trabant, he never saw a Lexus so he thought the Trabant was awesome. 

Also, keep saying this web site works fine, keep deleting my comments it will soo fix it!

:)

@thyname @yogiboy @jetter 

you guys are so sweet! If I had any feelings about you, the feelings would be mutual.

I requested my account to be deleted, please don't cry, enjoy the commenting. It's an awesome awesome forum engine, the shining star of technology of the year 2023 :) 

@ghdprentice I am upset about moderating. Not about the forum engine. I thought I made it clear. Yes, it's free, yes it's very 90s, yes it has zero features a commenting engine should have, would have, say... in 2010. Fine. But the policing is "amazingly" bad, immoral, unfair, inconsistent.
I am in IT, have been a developer, architect for over 20+ years. 

the rules:

• It looked like spam
• It was abusive towards another member
• It depicts explicit and/or violent content
• It contains profanity

My comments were none of the above, yet they were deleted. Why can't they adhere to their own policies?

thanks @nonoise I have seen the dropdown, never used it. Good to know
