Unfortunately this is only the latest example. He has some issues with reality that go beyond the scope of even this board, so we made the decision to remove him.

Most of his posts still exist. If anyone feels anything should be removed, let myself, AntiM, or mdmf007 know and we'll deal with them on a case by case basis.

I hope we can all try to move on.

I got this image of someone who looks like Dork's avatar in a TuTu, as he curtseyed, raised on his ballet slippers to his toes and "Gracefully" declined.

this is what burning man is all about. not socks, but tutus

There actually is a camp that does "Tutus at two". The one in that picture looks a lot like the one my partner made a couple of years back. LOL

If only I were able to grow a lush beard like that, perhaps my dreams of becoming a ballerina could have come true. But, alas, it was not to be.

Thank you for removing someone who really did not care about the community.

I apologize if any of my pictures posted in "erris" thread are offensive but I wanted to try to illustrate what it is like to have a thread hijacked.

Feel free to remove pics that are too over the top, but certainly feel free to keep any that are funny.

Can we please get the Apok thread unlocked now for the folks to post the camps art this year?

A quick visit to a costume shop to address the beard concerns before leaving for the playa and the simple expression of a wish might be just enough to arrange for such a dream to become reality. The playa provides for even the craziest wishes.

hahaha...this is how I snatched up Captain Smashy 3 years ago, promised him a bouncer job....that uniform entailed a Tu-Tu and Combat boots!

Well then he started hanging in the back room, and what showed up out at BRC was a pair of combat boots and a oven mitt kilt!

Geesh!

You can try..... to dress them up.....silly burners!

Oh, And Dork, I still have your Gift from last year....its in the truck(still)...so I wont forget it this year!

If the below quote and the posts that preceded it are what precipitated this thread, here is my two cents.

No, I don't this it is a violation of the TOS at all...I think it is the person who posted the below quote that has a misunderstanding of the purpose of this forum as it exists.

Now, that being said, here is my solution. I think it could be a good idea to have 'private' threads here on eplaya for such purposes of discussing plans for a large camp. It could help to nurture community and give camps a place to post and plan.

These 'private' threads can either be totally private, in that only invited users could view and post in them; or they could be 'semi-private' where everyone could read them, but only invited users could post in them.

My preference would be for the semi-private, in that all users could be privy to what some of the camps are doing and possibly increase their interest in joining. They could then request permission to join and become a member of that thread.

This way, everybody is happy and people wouldn't have to worry about drifting a thread that was intended to be more serious and targeted.

JK
It appears that I must abandon this thread-- a thread I started for APOKILIPTIKA 2009.

I do so with some regret, but seeing as how this thread has become infested with various socks, it is quite impossible to use it for it's trusted original and intended purpose-- a dialog for our plans in 2009. That purpose is obviously defunct. This is indeed the reason for my prolonged absence.

So, I bid farewell to this thread, and instead shall wander here and there on occasion in other locations.

)))TRANSMISSION ENDS(((

I agree with JK on this one.

Unlike Tribe or facebook, the eplaya is not set up to have member groups. It could, but private groups would be an entirely new headache. If you want such things, there are sites you can do it other than the eplaya.

Lots of good things may have logistical problems that create some headaches--like dust storms on the playa for instance. I'd be happy to volunteer to moderate or administer the private groups, if it is too much work for current moderators.

But just because it might be 'a headache' is not (IMHO) an excuse for not activating a feature that is available in the phpBB code set. (I'm not exactly sure what version the board is running, but the most current version and the one previous do have this feature included.)

No disrespect intended; this is why I am volunteering my services--at least until my bottle of aspirin run out.

You'd have to approach the admins, J. The mods are pretty low on the food chain, except Dork. He's the super-mod. All major changes are up to the folks at the top. We've discussed a commercial zone, but it didn't happen. Is that good or bad? I don't know.

I could moderate private groups, I have time. Personally, I've not thought through all the ramifications of private groups on the eplaya and the community. I can easily see several sides to the issue. I just am sensitive to the suggestion today as I am on another board which allows private groups. Someone found a way in to some of them and reposted some extremely nasty personal attacks. The uproar is disruptive and ugly. Private groups here would possibly require a different level of moderation. You can tell people to play nice, you can ask, but unless the mods have the power to enforce, it is a futile exercise.

This board for the most part runs smooth.
This was an isolated incident that reaches beyond
the web and what was on here for public consumption.

As far as I am concerned the Administrators and Moderators are doing a fine job

I say lock this thread and let it die.

I'm not sure of how granular this version of the phpBB is, but options on the new version and last version can have 'semi-private' boards...i.e. everyone can read them, but only people that request and are granted membership can post in them.

This would insure that there would be no back-stabbing and attacks unknown to others.

Anyway, I don't want to make unnecessary waves, but if this were something that people felt would be beneficial, I am putting myself out there to help make it happen.

If you can let me know who to contact via PM, I'd be glad to approach them on the idea, if members here think it would be a useful feature to help in planning camps and other BM related projects.
