Report Abuse Links opinion thread — Page 27

Unfortunately, the Trump rally hate that Patti Murin started against the board is still going, as I still see actors calling for its shutdown while retweeting her blog. That's the real legacy Murin wants, I guess, no matter what PR flapping she does after the fact. I hope Rob doesn't "work" too closely with her, or I'll bet she'd ask for moderator rights.

Are posters still not receiving notifications and an explanation of why when a post is removed?

From Rob's post on page 19 of this thread:

"This new, and more clear and communicative warning and suspension system will indeed alert posters as to when something was removed, and why."

i miss the old days when rob would call me and calmly ask me to please stop antagonizing the insane. then we'd meet from drinks and the issue would be decided either by arm wrestling or by whoever could still stand after epic martini consumption. this actress woulda never stood a chance in those days. she'da passed out and we'da drawn penises on her forehead with sharpies and left her outside the edison with a toetag reading, "emotionally exhausted and morally bankrupt."

and you're looking for this because.......?

NO. WE ARE NOT. i posted a question asking about more transparency and also about margo's suspension, or lack thereof. rob proceeded to respond to my post indirectly but then delete it... without any notification or explanation. that goes against what he said on page 19 and no, rob, i do not want to message you every time you -- or a faceless nameless moderator -- delete a post of mine for the reasoning behind it. there should be a simple, easy system set up for it. not very difficult to do

You should have received a notification JM, and I will check with the others on the team here to make sure that all are aware of the two way street of communication and respect, and our in-progress updates which we'll make clear on the guidelines.

And the request to PM us for questions like these isn't an issue of transparency, it's an issue of making sure we see, and are able to answer as speedily as possible. We won't be reading every post on the board for board questions, so PM (or email) is the best way to reach us.

Obviously I'm watching this thread, and happy to provide this answer but I'm in and out today and tonight, which is another reason it's not the best method to reach me, or us, most of the time.

Good questions though, and absolutely agree re: clarifying them, thanks!

ps - Papa's method sounds like an equally good idea.

Which one of Papa's methods? The one for message deletion or the one for drawing penises on people's foreheads?

penis foreheads for all my friends!!

Seems like Javier has an opinion. I was skimming through his tweets and most are positive but he doesn't have a problem telling people to myob, he was telling people not to act like his parents about something. It read a bit aggressive

Nothing. He said "If it fills u up in any way to snark on theater chat boards? Then please never speak to any of us. Ever. Like ever." Now people will NEVER go see his shows again. Oh, the drammmmma. He was clearly talking about the people that are mean and nasty on here and tear actors down. It's really funny and honestly, most tourists who pay money to see shows will never look at this board, so he hasn't lost much support anyways. He then responded to a rude remark by being defensive back. So again, he did nothing wrong.



"I was thinking it'll be nicer. He was the nastiest and rudest person on here."



I agree 1000%

I agree that the first part was fine but it's the "I'm with Patti" line. She wanted them shut down and saying he's with her, implies he wants the same. If he didn't include this line, it'd be a different story. Word choice is everything.

Actually, he didn't imply it, he was pretty straightforward that he wanted them gone, even asking his followers to retweet that message. A bit silly. Happy to see that people are responding with the boards' positive aspects.

Oh no worries, just wanted to clarify for everyone that he isn't on the fence about what he means. It's very black and white to him. And I agree about the tone thing. All his tweets and responses on this topic have been pretty poor in tone.

Ha! I know what you mean. I didn't even realize he was in The Wild Party and I saw that! Probably a good thing because I thought his Burrs was fantastic and it might have been enough for me to want to see him again in The Robber Bridegroom. But now I'm so happy I didn't buy tickets or bend over backwards to drag a friend along.
