  1. Blocking/Ignoring Topics

    It is like that already. Retention in Fuxi and political or controversial in Off Grid. I think what folks are asking for is that certain topics (ignored) not show up on their activity streams at all.
  2. Hello

    Val, welcome to the bums.
  3. Hello all.

    Welcome to the bums, Oven.
  4. Well, well...

    Wells, owner permissions no longer apply on the forums. Hiding and deleting others posts is prohibited outside of a PPD.
  5. Well, well...

    The rules of this forum were put into place to protect forum members from attacks and insults. I will look at the posts, but last I checked disputing a system or a teacher's methods or lineage is not against forum rules. FYI, not a single report came from dwai, so you might want to rethink your thin-skinned commentary.
  6. Well, well...

    Dwai has not been reported for trolling and insulting forum members, you have, numerous times by several in the last hour. Further, if I have to move another of your posts from the TaiChi thread it will only add to your impending suspension should you decide to continue.
  7. Well, well...

    ***MOD TEAM WARNING*** Wells, it is neither your place nor it is your right to impose your will or desires on another member of this forum. Dwai is under no obligation to prove anything to you. You are entitled to your opinion, you have expressed it, now move on, stop trolling for someone to argue with and insulting fellow forum members. These are actionable offenses and should you continue you will likely see and interruption in your membership. *********
  8. Mo Pai and John Chang

    What you are stating is false. Please refrain from disparaging this forum and its members any further, it is becoming redundant and tiresome. This is the second welcome thread that you are attempting to hijack merely because it mentions MoPai. Please consider this to be formal notice.
  9. Defusing a thread with humor

    I am not sure if you're speaking of the general discussion area specifically or just as an example. However, in the case of the former, it was explained to me that general discussion is a more relaxed area of the forum where the conversation is "allowed" to veer off from the OP and many times it comes back on topic. When we had owner permissions, in the beginning, general was included, but for the reasons stated above and some push back by members it was removed from that area and the more serious threads were encouraged to take place in the sub-forums (Daoism and Buddhism) or PPDs. Now that owner permissions no longer apply to the forums, we have stewards who monitor the sub forums to see that threads are kept on topic, clear of trolling and spam. With that expaination in mind, I think of general like being at a party where the conversation is free-flowing and the sub forums and PPDs like being in a meeting where interjection should be well thought out and contribuatory to the subject matter. The OP of any thread is welcomed to seek mod intervention if they feel their topic has gone too far off course. We are always happy to help, and one of the main reason we are formally called Concierges and not Moderators.
  10. The ethics of revenge

    True. Just be careful. Reported threats are taken seriously and with swift action. I would hate for "innocent play" to be not seen as such and someone take serious offense.
  11. The ethics of revenge

    We do not threaten folks on TDB, neither physically or spiritually, if we would like to keep our membership active. I suggest caution if one chooses to continue along these lines, it is very high on the list of an immediate and permanent ban.
  12. simplify

    HARIBO
  13. Gospel of Thomas

    Yes, I did too! Was a tune cootie for a long time yesterday.
  14. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    Are you level 4?
  15. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    I hear it is a voltmeter...
  16. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    Those NDAs you Mopaiers have to sign are that ironclad?
  17. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    Moderation logs show the thread was unlocked when I posted. The logs do not lie. There is no case of trolling to be made when you quote, reply to one by name and they respond. You will need to build a stronger case for trolling. As for anger, I think you might have your wires crossed. There is no anger on my part, curiosity about your motives on TDB, yes, anger no.
  18. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    You will not argue, but you will be passive aggressive, quoting me, addressing me by name in your then unlocked PPD, then hiding my replay, responding and relocking. Klassy stuff, I tell ya!!
  19. Long men pai nei gong and mo pai

    I have always found it odd that one will find something so offensive, yet they quote it. The detectable anger and hatred seems to be coming from you in the form of contrived, slanderous, locked PPD threads about Daobums. I am guessing polite must have escaped you for a moment...
  20. Here ya go. https://www.thedaobums.com/forum/521-angelusnovus/ Happy posting.
