Your biggest gripe is that you have to live in a society where most people don't agree with your delusional dogma.
Getting sick of clicking on the 'report abuse' button yet? Or are you having to write a script and entering it on a command line in the latest version of Ubuntu? ...... LOL

Next question, who do you think will do this moderation?
I'd happily contribute just to see self confessed intellectuals like yourself banned.
Dan has my email :)

that is the appointment of moderators does not always work.
More unfounded generalisations from the master himself!
Moderators do a great job on the ABC website. And they have post numbers in far greater numbers then this local rag site.

APC staff should be performing the moderation role, who pays for their time to do this
Of course they should ................... It's their job!
And as for pay? ..... See those flashing bright things liberally splashed across this site? It's called advertising!

An ability to accept alternate points of view is essential
For Raindog, I totally agree.

And what's that? More incessant rantings from a self-confessed know-it-all?
BTW, It's good to see that we're taking up some of your weekend :)

And just in case anyone missed Raindog's pearl of wisdom to a new member complaining about APC's out-of-date news posting. The thread seemed to have gone pear-shaped after this little gem. Wonder why.
Quoting kanebt:
APC constantly fails.
APC annoyed you with this article, so they get big + from from sensible folks everywhere. As a fanatic it may come as a complete surprise to you, but those with actual lives may not have been haunting every source of all things MAC. And those same sensible people with real and fullfilling lives may actually be glad of product announcements that actually coincide with retail availability in Australia. Yes young MACfanatic the "A" in APC stands for Australian.
Quoting kanebt:
get your act together
It pretty clear young treckie that it's you who needs to do some work in the area of act improving. Specifically in regard to your behaviour, if you've already heard something that's nice for, but although it may come a complete surprise to you, the planet doesn't spin about your axis.
Consider taking Person Lessons and you never know with practice you may even one day be able to behave like one.
What a welcoming and polite manner to the new members of the community.

Your mission? Contributions such as that are not required.

How is that relavent to this forum?

You have a fixation with numbers, is the concept of quality over quantity lost on you?
Your Average Joe wrote:
then (???) this local rag site.
And that's how you referred to the site in your emails to APC? That's a great way to brgin, show absolute disrespect with a verbal and ranting attack.
Your Average Joe wrote:

Their job? I'd have hoped skilled and well connected people had better things to do than to spend their days deleting your sprays of profanity. Did you forget in all this that it is also their site, for them to run as they see appropriate? And in saying that i am quite sure APC would prefer a site devoid of squabbles, despite your many conspiracy theories and calls of bias.
Your Average Joe wrote:

You demand tolerence from others yet are refuse to offer the same. Sound like a hiding to nothing to you? Probably not, but it should.
Your Average Joe wrote:

I'd have thought that was obvious, even to you. Your prior holidays brought calm, you work it out.

Mere moments, is that another of your missions?

No my gripe is that you and a noisy few cannot contribute without being rude and abusive. That you and the same few are intent on running missions and attempts to hijack or over-run the comments of others.
plutonium210 wrote:

Nope!
plutonium210 wrote:

A simply task, but not one that is required.
Your sprays in this thread offer no conribution other than a clear demonstration of your mission of rudeness and disruption. As before only one solution has proven effective in controlling that.

So lets have a look at that complaint shall we.
Quoting kanebt (New user):
THIS NEWS IS SO OLD ITS RIDICULOUS!
We begin with shouting not a hanging offense but hardly a good start for an admited new user. Was any consideration given that the piece may have still been news to others? Was any respect shown to the author?
Why would you post this almost 4 months after it happened?
A fair enough question and probably all that needed to be asked.
APC constantly fails.
So there is a great start for a new user, don't like something, so spray an exagerated attack at the site's owners. Constructive?
get your act together..
The spray continues. new user and just moment into a post making demands, spraying insult. That kind of nullifies the let's all be gentle on the new user calls.
plutonium210 wrote:

poor form should not be condoned regardless of status. There is a way of levelling concern and disagreement, it does not at any time involve denigration of the site or the threads author.
You know this and and you know all too well your intentions are not in the interests of this poster or anyone but yourself. Mission aborted.

It is interesting that the author and/or APC have stayed so silent on this allegation of poor reportage. And that Raindog has appointed himself as the defender of this piece of cheap journalism. That is the denigration they deserve. To have Raindog as the pitbull out front and defending a poor piece of news reportage.
Why should APC be free from criticism. It seems that by being exposed to a public forum they need to be advised, and tersely if need be, that their standards are dropping.
@ APC
We all know who Raindog is! It's your alter-ego, isn't it Dan ;-)

THIS NEWS IS SO OLD ITS RIDICULOUS! - kanebt
This is correct! Months old news in a news section of a tech mag is inexcusable.
APC constantly fails. - kanebt
Maybe not constantly, but certainly regularly enough for its readers to notice.
get your act together.. - kanebt
A poignant and valid reminder to APC to keep its standards above the competition.
Personally, I think the website is way behind its printed brethren.

Wrong! It's an on-going mission.
