A request to the CSR Moderators

Think carefully about that statement.............

Maybe move the tiki bar to the bilge...........never mind

 

Perhaps it is a moment of reflection when 70% of the answers so far indicate members would like to keep things the way that they are. I don't have a problem with people not liking things but that changes pretty quickly in today's cancel culture. It isn't that cancel culture is an insult or offensive.....it is a reflection of a vocal minority who take it upon themselves to correct the majority.

Why?

I believe most of the cancel culture is simply misguided thinking compounded by too much social media and the China Virus. In regards to politics.....that is part of boating. Fuel prices, banning certain engines, dredging, fishing, wealth taxes, additional new yacht taxes, Homeland Security and Customs are either controlled or influenced directly by politics.

Politics influences boating far more than boating influences politics. Most politicians could care less about recreational boaters. To many cancel politicians we represent: "privileged people with wealth that care nothing for the environment". Unless boaters are informed and take action......these cancel politicians will win the day.

 

I'm in a similar boat (pun intended) as a few others. I'm not on any social media so hear alot of the 'news' here. And I have added to some of the political posting and back and forths but in other topic I talk to the same person I just had a major political disagreement with like we were best friends. At least for me, what happens in The Bilge stays in The Bilge (or sometimes the Tiki Bar). Outside of that we are still 'friends'.

And yes, I agree cancel culture is destroying this country

 

so was your poll.

 

Why did you post this in the "General Discussion" section? Maybe the mods should move it to the "ClubSeaRay.comSuggestions" http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?forums/clubsearay-com-suggestions.19/ where it belongs. There are points on both sides of this issue, but I select a section to read and browse for the intended purpose. In the "General Discussion" section I'm here to discuss and learn about "boating." Posting a topic with a poll like this brings the politics that you want eliminated right here in the "boating" area.

 

I get where you're coming from, I can be interested in a few current events comments about the price of fuel or boating taxes, what the local government is doing to one of the lakes or the ramps. But I don't want to wade thru 20 back and forth zingers or rants on a thread that a relative newby asked seriously "How did you buy your first boat...". The entire thread doesn't belong in the Holding Tank. But too many regular threads go sideways in the middle of a question, has to be a turn off for a lot of newbys. This is childish behavior.

I went so far as to ask the CSR Admins in the feature area if there was a way to "Ignore" an entire thread or a forum. There is not one really. But I did find you can turn off global notification and then "watch" just specific forums and threads. Which is what I do now. I "watch" just those forums that the subject interest me. It has worked fairly well. But it means I may not see questions that I might be able to help with. That's the down side.

 

So you knowingly violated the forum rules. You should go to the penalty box.

 

Where does the line get drawn? Does CSR go the route of The Hull Truth and moderate itself into the ground? Send members to banned camp for perceived offenses?

I don’t care for some of the content here but there are plenty of topics and most are non political.

We are all adults here so let’s wear our grownup pants and respect each other by agreeing to disagree on some topics.

Now if a poster politicizes a non political thread, threatens or intimidates other members, and it goes off the rails then there is a process to delete the offensive post. To do this the offending post needs to be reported, analyzed, and action is then taken.

 

Not sure about that. I always though tiki bar thread was for drunk, fun, stuff we do stupid, stories.

 

So what did you think your thread and poll was really about? People today who want to change things because it in someway offends their sensitive personalities by hoping to involve others is the definition of cancel culture whether you like it or not.

So, claiming that you have been successful at proving something when you used the exact methods that you criticize is a bit rich.

Just stay out of the political discussions and you won't be offended.

 

I hope my survey goes well on Friday.

 

I agree it should not happen but thats the point I guess there are always some otherwise very intelligent people who are either childish or narcissistic. They just can’t stop.

I dont want the CSR Admins to be posting cops most would just quit the moderators are volunteers.

Why I pointed to the various tools available I would rather be in control of who I ignore

 

I do try to only follow anything related to boating here, as that's the only reason I am a member. I actually I haven't seen anything political in quite a while, maybe because I don't have notifications set for any threads I'm not interested in. I wish I could unfollow some of the stuff I see and hear at the marina at times, but everyone has the right to express themselves. Hence anchoring is awesome! My suggestion is that you click to unfollow as soon as something goes where you don't want it to, and thanks to the moderators for moving those other posts to other places when they catch them.

 

These words ‘cancel culture’ da fq that mean? Know what, don’t answer, don’t care, don’t wanna know,

 

Personally, I think you should just let me and Blueone moderate the entire site!

Hear all the voices - discard what is of no value to you.
Self sensor anything that you consider out of bounds.

 

This is funny!
