Let ForumA be those that deal with politics, social issues, different/opposing views and
ForumB those where people meet to exchange scientific knowledge e.g on maths, physics etc and
ForumC the rest that might deal with whatever e.g paranormal
ForumsA with any kind of moderation are destined to close down-admit it.
ForumA where the Admin is everywhere are destined to concentrate around the Admin in an ass licking fashion - admit it.
e.g. Look at how Paphits extends his ass licking to as far away as to this forum LOL
People who own a Forum but don't give a shit about it, are most likely doing it to collect money from ads.
In those forums YOU are the product -admit it
To my surprise the best admin of a Cyprus forum I ever met was a young schoolgirl about 17-18 y.o.living in Nicosia. I assume her name was Mikaella because that's how her forum was called. The forum was strictly political and in Greek. She did not do any moderation at all. In fact I personally called her a racist and i despised her for her imo racist views. However she only once complained once at me asking me If i would ever say anything good for her. The forum absolutely thrived during the Anan Plan. Me and Bananiot originate from that forum.
Anyway why that girl was so good as an admin?
Like I said she did not do any moderation. No banning of members, no penalties, nothing.
She was too young for anyone to concentrate around her in an ass licking fashion.
However she knew so damn well how to initiate and direct topics and discussions. She would only participate asking questions and directing the discussion. Usually controversial questions giving every opposing view enough room.
Maybe she got assistance from her parents, although i beleive she was very smart and could do it herself.
When a discussion was nearly over she would throw some more "petrol" usually of the controversial type questions and everybody would be back debating like hell.
There were a lot of teachers over there (Bananiot himself was a teacher) using high level complicated Greek language that often irritated me, because of the many insinuations,hidden sarcasm etc. I often get irritated when people hide behind complicated language to trick you. And I don't mean in Greek only, I see it happening in forums that use English or other languages.
In summary this forum is just OK. I like the fact there is no moderation, but it is true that it gets childish more often than not.
It's difficult to find anything interesting in here, there are discussions that go on for ever without adding anything, nobody cares for the Cyprus problem anymore, so it's more like a place to say or read something when you have nothing better to do.
It has it's funny jokers too.
But if you can't read my "mono-blocks" due to your dyslexia then let me know and I will add a few lines breaks for you.
Will the test be multiple choice?
