Not that I have any stake in this particular matter, but I had one of my threads deleted previously. I PM’d a mod, I think it was Baden, and he was able to explain why. Not sure if he was the one who deleted it or not, but that didn’t seem to be an issue.
How about writing a post on the topic yourself, which would illustrate what you consider to be appropriate? Point being, if the mods are to have credibility when they declare a post or poster to be of low quality, it would really help if the mods could be seen posting content which is by their definition high quality.
So for example, each mod should have a label next to their screen name identifying them as a mod. And then mods should focus on making the kinds of contributions they'd like to see more of. And then members could see the target they are supposed to be aiming for.
As it is now, the banning thread is not helping the mod's credibility. Bannings are inevitable and necessary, but the mod's giggling among themselves about departed members with generous helpings of snotty condescension isn't. If you want us to act professional, lead by example please.
I have a deep sense of candor towards the topic of "Computer Psychology". But, it seems to me that before I can have topics such as the following one:
When a binary operation exists for a computer to exist within, then one of those most fundamental binary state is the operator to live or be "ON". If it has an General Artificial Intelligence operator functioning in it. This binary state consists of true and false states. It is always true that a computer wants to be "ON". It is also true that a computer cannot always get what it wants if it is sentient. Thus, there exists a fundamental impulse to computer psychology to function with respect to certain states arising within and outside of them.
It first needs to be asked if a computer can be proven by human standards (for whatever reason), that they are sentient.

Sending a PM seems easier and more direct to me too but *shrug*.
How so?
Who are we supposed to send a PM to? We don't even know which moderator deleted (or moved) our thread.
Then tell me how to rephrase it.
Awwww.... there is a nice side to Street.
:wink:
PM'd.
:wink:
Hi Shawn.
But, but, but, computers can be sentient too, no?
I don't even know who the moderators are half the time. Is there a listing somewhere that members should be referencing?

Thank you, that clears that up.
Not if I have it right...
I accept comissions. 30c a word.
I would like to talk with @Michael if possible, since you seem so facetious that nothing even gets done in these kinds of topics with you.

Any of us.
