STAGE48 Feedback & Suggestions V

May I know why my reply to gotbild's question

got deleted? (I'm not that senile to forget what I post yesterday.)

It look like this

, the reply is short since the hyperlink have the explanation.

Does it really need to be a long and thought about reply since the link is already doing it. I know who, probably, did it. But why the heck with the censoring? Is this how S48 works nowadays! What a dismal change of stance from freedom on posting.

 

I suggest you to calm down a little. 'Censoring' isn't a nice word, especially when that link doesn't seem something deserving censorship and there is another post by Jul3 with the same link and that post hasn't been deleted.

 

The fact that the same link exist while mine was deleted prompted me to use the word censoring, I feel being single out in this. I've seen whole threads being deleted, with my post in it, but I didn't object since everyone got the hammer. And, I've also complained about repeats of threads and spams being kept in this forum yet they still exist for scruple.

And, my post that got deleted isn't simply the shortest and worst post there is. There are single words or just emoticons reply I've observe but why are they being allowed to exist and mine cannot.

If they are gonna implement a rule please do make it so it cover everyone, I won't complain if everyone will be treated equally.

 

@ kimunlimited: Reconsidering, I admit I might have been a little hasty to remove it instead of editing it/adding something to it myself or contacting you to do something about it yourself. I apologize if it seems "unfair" to you. It doesn't have anything to do with "censorship" though, for we do have the "one-word" rule:

Of course the same goes for links as well. Now, your post isn't exactly infringing that rule since it - in a way - functions as an answer to gotbild. It isn't not infringing it either though. It's a grey area, but in general it's considered good tone and style in a forum to make submissions that you can introduce to your parents are literate.
The issue is that your post was terribly short and came off as slightly "lazy". I don't think it's too much to expect members to at least write some more than only leaving a link. Looking at your post, it doesn't become clear what's beyond those two words. It could be any of the following: A Wikipedia article, a site to buy light sticks, a thread about light sticks on Stage48, a photo of someone carrying light sticks, a song called "Light Sticks", a YouTube video of someone doing wotagei,... or that SuperMerlion article.

I would probably take the same kind of action if someone asked if Rena is really gay for Airin and another member made a post consisting solely of...

You can see why. The above is an answer too, but it couldn't possible be more half-assed. In a way it is mocking the person that asked the question.
When you make a post, writing a full sentence not only makes it look like "something", but it's also more respectful towards the member that asked a question than to just knock him over the head with a word or a link and nothing else. In that regard, the post Jul3 made was relatively exemplary. He not only posted a link, but described its content and commented on it:

Spoiler

Oh, you're perfectly right there. These posts shouldn't be there. In cases when it gets extreme, I remove such posts or merge them with others, so chances are you only get to see half of them eventually. One example would be the thread for the Tokyo Dome concert. The thread would probably be about four-five pages longer if I hadn't done anything about it at the time.

And yes, I'm still working on new rules and those posting guidelines I was talking about. It's tricky to come up with something that's satisfying enough and all-encompassing. They will be clearer regarding things such as the above.

 

Regarding the point kimunlimited brought up, if mods are going to the effort of editing and deleting posts, could they not simply PM the poster saying that their post was being edited or deleted, possibly with a reason why. People will always make the same mistakes again if not told they are making a mistake. For example one of my posts got edited by mods to remove the final line where I thanked caramujo for the information, but the rest of the post remained. I have no idea why and it just seemed rude to that poster when I was just trying to credit and thank them.

 

All clear. I haven't been PMing everyone over each little correction.

What you say is only reasonable. I've sent you a PM about that.

 

Hi all

On the NMB girls and NMB galleries pages, there are a hand full of recent graduates who have not been moved to the Graduated Girls forum. Fujita Runa, Ota Riona, and Togo Sora have sadly all gone

My Sora-chan... T____T

 

Will the AKB girls database thread be updated to reflect the new team organization soon? It is a rather helpful thread.

 

Yes, of course. I'll get to that in a few.

 

are you related to sub48? (stage48,wiki48,vid48....looks like the same to me)

if so, is subbing the bonus of the tokyo dome concert on the list?(all the dvd would be too long i guess...but i hope also!)

thank you

 

Hi there, I've been on Stage48 for a while now, and just wanna say how I really like this forum. How dedicated some of the staffs/mods/top posters are continues to amazes me and contribute to a great forum experience.

Just a suggestion though. Is it possible to kinda have a function to save posts on the site? By that I mean, being able to favorite certain posts in a thread and then viewing them from the user's own control panel (this can be made anonymous or known to the original poster, whatever you prefer). There are many great and informative posts on the site but it can quite a hassle going through all the past pages of the thread just to search for them sometimes. Just thought that this may be pretty cool. In any case, thanks for all your work so far

 

I don't know how quickly Admin can get around to implementing that idea (assuming that the idea is even possible at all with the current forum's control panel), but as a quick work-around for the time being, you can try saving the URL for each post you'd like to save into a special folder in your favorite browser, and then viewing them at your convenience.

And if you'd like to thank the person for their helpful or insightful post, then I guess you can either reply to the post or PM the poster yourself.

I hope that helps.

 

Oh hey Gideon. Nice to see you here again ^^; No biggie if it can't be done but alright, will use the suggestion you gave for now then. Seems like a good idea though I'll have to get about to arranging those bookmarks of mine. Thanks for the quick reply

 

I see... Though I'm not sure whether you can call a post filled with video links/clarifications/random facts about the members useful At least not for everybody since it's pretty subjective, but wow, ok. Noted. Never knew the 'report' function can be used that way. Thanks in advance for looking into it too

 

Is it possible to delete your own account?

 

When it's the birthday of one of the current members, the name of her thread changes temporarily. I guess it would be logical to change the name of the threads about graduated members too...
