Netscape Navigator takes on contributors. When the 1 percent rule gets broken. »
Posted by: okitech 2 years, 11 months agoFolks, ZeigfeldGirl just got banned cos she was returning Neophiles favors (IE. sinking & neg'ing him, OK, plus diss'in him too.). This is pathetic, as he has been doing the same to ZG for some time.

Jan. 5, 2007, 10:10 p.m.How about just getting rid of the whole 'Sink' feature? netscape is really going down fast... and there are much more fun ways to go down than the way they have been, especially bi banning Ziegfeld Girl.

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:17 p.m.From: ZeigfeldGirl
I'd like to repeat the points joeeddie made from neo's own post:
From Neothoughts - "Finally, great communities have great leaders. It appears that you have been neglecting your duties as the leader most Diggers consider you to be."
Also from Neothoughts - "Don't bury content based on who submits it."
Also from Neothoughts - "I just wanted to re-iterate the most important point I can think to make on this topic: keep your eye on the ball. The ball, in this case, being the content.Don't bury submissions based on who submitted them. You aren't solving anything by doing that."

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:24 p.m.this ban is because Neo is somehow more special than the rest of the users at least thats the way he's treated.

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:39 p.m.Among all the anger at seeing a thoughtful contributor (ZG) banned for pointing out what one of the staff does on a regular basis I see a lot of anger at the staff here at Netscape. Is that because they show so little concern for the community they are trying to build? I wonder if the 100k plus membership would help them sustain the advertising that pays their salaries if people like ZG were not part of this community?

Jan. 5, 2007, 9:48 p.m.gordon, take a deep breath. I had exactly the same reaction. I sent off two messages, one to Dakota and one to CK. I think they were reasonable respectful considering the dasdardly behavior, but I expect no reply...the only member of staff that has ever extended the courtesy of replying to a message I sent was Karina.

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:45 p.m.no to censorship the old adage applies here sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.the only the only valid resons to ban fellow nutscapers is spamming death threats or cyberstalking but if you are to fragile to take a bit of name calling find something else to do.

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:49 p.m.I personally could care less about about the sink feature, I
have never used it, period!
Now are as far as ZeigfeldGirl, she sunk my storey and left a very negative comment on the piece I posted. Whatever!
ZeigfeldGirl,""PBS" and "truth" in the same sentence, now that's funny!"
My reply, "ZeigfeldGirl, Did you even watch it?
ZeigfeldGirl,"No, I had a good breakfast, didn't want to lose it."
So here you have a person who sinks the post,leaves a negative comment, and has not even watched the post in question!
How is that acting like constructive contributor?

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:56 p.m.spigot, I'll bet if we go through every post we have all made on Netscape, we will find a few examples of things we wish we had not put into print. I will also bet that if the names were removed from the posts we would all disagree with ourselves from time to time.
The point is that for the most part, ZG makes a valuable contribution to this site, and the reason for banning her is not valid.
Now putting my clothing back on...my portion of the nude protest is over...everyone has suffered enough.

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:50 p.m.When we had the first discussion on the sink, I posted this
"What i would like to see avoided here is a "sink war". Some of the stories are of interest to a limited amount of viewers and would be sunk very early in the day."
You now see the results of the sink feature. The outcome was very predictable. Why has this happened?

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:52 p.m.I think I remember you saying that I protested sink and dont even bother wiht it I thought it may lead to some "war" or some BS woops it did!

Jan. 5, 2007, 8:53 p.m.Why not just ban everyone right of center? Then they can have there Nastiphile,,,, leftfest and just sit around in their self aggrandizing pools of putrid hate for the Bush Administration,,,, without dissent they will think the entire world thinks the way they do and won't need pacifiers and night lights to sleep at night anymore

That's unfair and unkind, ZG has plenty of liberal friends on this site. I will have nothing to do with sink. I swore to myself I would never use it. That doesn't mean I like the behavior of the powers tonight. I don't. And I like having opposing views as well as views I agree with. You make assumptions, slate.
