Yes, it's possible to get very frustrated on the wrong day, and maybe some think the evil mods deserve it -- but we do know who they are!

Jokes aside, I'm not criticizing anyone, or any style of posting, I'd like to be clear about that. I've done it once or twice in the past, but now wish I'd kept my mouth shut. Today I tell myself "That's your problem -- deal with it!!"

Certainly a member's time and contributions (with a few exceptions ) benefit us all. I think perhaps there are some members who feel the need for their posting presentation/style to be different and stand out.

Well, sign up as a mod, then you'll have edit privileges

Unfortunately, you'll only have them in your assigned section(s), but hey, at least you'll get a chance to be evil

Thanks to those in power positions sorely lacking integrity and empathy

European leaders, not just politics (sport == football) do the same.

Speaking to the BBC, PM Theresa May refused to criticise the Saudi government’s bombardment of Yemen, which is estimated to have killed more than 10,000 civilians and displaced more than 3 million people.

It shpuld be noted that the London Stock Exchange is a key global venue for the issuance of Sukuk (Islamic bonds) bonds. Over $46bn has been raised through 64 Sukuk issues on London Stock Exchange.

FYI: Islamic bonds are structured in such a way as to generate returns to investors without infringing Islamic law (that prohibits riba (interest rate or excess) or interest).

Meanwhile the UK's international trade secretary Liam Fox visited the Philippines on Monday, and said in an article published in local media that he wanted Britain to build a stronger relationship with the Philippines based on “a foundation of shared values and shared interests”. Philippine companies have invested over £1bn into the UK since 2014, according to Fox.
Apparently Fox had raised concerns about human rights during the visit, which included a meeting with the country's controversial president, Rodrigo Duterte.

FYI: Last month, Duterte warned the EU not to “fuck with us” after the European parliament passed a resolution expressing “grave concern over credible reports” that Philippine police were engaged in extrajudicial killings, a claim officers strongly deny. The EU resolution also referenced Duterte’s open threats to kill human rights campaigners.

Being a realist (and a cynic), I know that post Brexit Britain will pay lip-service to Human rights these days.
But Liam Fox claiming 'shared values' with Duterte? Pass the sick-bucket...

What do they tell you about Duterte?

That he kills drug-dealers, whereas the West only conducts drone-assassinations while only guessing who they kill?

mmm.... I think I agree with you

But what really annoys me is the knowledge that I am flawed human being. I am perfectly capable of rationalizing my bad behaviors. Make me rich and powerful and I will probably be kissing Saudi ass, too.

But wait till you have to check & clean posts containing 50 - 100 crosslinks and just as many pics, you need 10 - 15 scroll clicks to get to the end of the post, and then you discover you have to do it in text-mode because with WYSIWYG you only get a blank edit screen. You won't know whether to screech or groan

But at the same time, you know the value of the post, and how much work has gone into it. You also know you're doing the work voluntarily, and have no right to complain. Arrrgh!!

Curious thing but vbulletin has its own sort of indexing system that very few seem aware of
given the vast majority prefer to put descriptions /tags/ in posts and bypass using a title


Hybrid or Threaded viewing of a thread - works beautifully if titles
with a bit of basic detail are used - solo/bg/gg , soft/hard , scans/pics/clips/videos

user cp/options/thread display options/mode


Hindesight being a wonderful thing - i wont be starting anymore thread indexes

Imagehost hacks , Filehosts closing , cluster crashes , dmca purges , random mixed set postings & a deluge of the same sets being uploaded in various improved states
make them a full time job for a really obsessed fan/collector of that model.

As i said when i went on my last long vacation from VEF

Delete them if they ever become nuisance value
