So u have 52 clicks and not even 1 “ LIKE” ?
A bit strange and worth giving it some thought . Is it not ?
So have one from me for starters
One more thing. Wonder why u have “ GREENHORN “ status and such a low “ TRUST” level ?
Not sure but suspect both items depend on the number of “ likes” . Do they not?
From my chair it looks like discrimination. Just saying.
Discrimination Alert! Discrimination Alert! Everyone man your stations. Go to your stations!!
May be discrimination is a qualification that is a bit too strong or exaggerated. But for an observant viewer there are some thought provoking situations here ,that could be a pure coincidents as well as thoughtful or deliberate actions.
As far as I am concerned the "flagging " system for example is simply disgusting and reminds me rather of ratting and snitching. It is my opinion .
Let me give U another example. I will not mention names or aliases but have noticed a Gent here, who only few hours after joining the forum obtained a status of " Leader" having read the forum contents only few minutes.
O do not care much abt it but since the forum is strictly controlled by admins and moderators ( all human) one may conclude of observing a stark case of " nepotism" or granting some extraordinary unearned privileges as in described above case.
U can not be upset that sb has noticed something - may be disturbing in his/her opinion, that perhaps has escaped Your carefull scrutiny or was beyond your vision or grasp.
Sb may be wrong, then such wise expert like Sand_Pebble could make a greater effort in showing other the right path of thinking and offer sth more constructive and enlightning then a stupid video clip. Just saying.
Never thought about it . But thx for Your thought provoking observation/remark and like.
Greenhorn? Low trust level? What are you on about? He’s got trust level three, which comparatively few members have and which requires active and responsible participation on a continuing basis – it’s not a permanent status.
As to likes, this forum is for discussion, not likes.
Continued from other thread" …some questions about shipping please"
Item 1 & 2 as quoted agree as per linked guidance
Is that so? I thought that likes are very relevant . But I will revert after finishing the detailed study of your input/participation and profile data on this forum. May be You are right.
We shall follow the guidance advise and wisdom .Shall we not.?
But it looks to me the reality on the ground is somewhat different. It is only my experience and I can be wrong forming opinions basis such a limited experience as mine only.
So here it is .
I was lucky to intercept a new user as per below:
Seeing your eloquent dictum I asked him to do me a favour and He complied with my request as per below . You surely recognise it is a message frm Him to me .
Would You not agree that it somewhat contradicst what You have written basis Discourse link and what is contained there.?
How would you explain that being a new user he could send me a message. I completely do not understand that? Pls be so kind and enlighten me because I am at sea . More, i am lost at sea now.
More to come as I have become extremely curious about my " greenhorn " status.
Cheers
No. He has fulfilled the requirements for trust level 1 or Basic User which grants PM privileges.
As to greenhorn I have no clue what @LupusProximo is talking about.
Ok.
I am not sure if all users examine other users forum data with such attention to detail or feel the need to do so.
Basis his statement " I do not see my PM button"?.
Surely he could not see it as i do not see it either . To verify if I can send a message or open the chat I need to open the other user card with info . How do You know He did it for sure ?
He was sent a very clear instruction how to do it and did not reply with sth like: " I have followed the video clip instruction and can not see the Message , Chat button" .
Then for me or other user it would be clear He has some restriction prompting me or other user to click on his forum data to figure out what is the problem and eventually take appropriate correct action.
The young Guy was attacked from all sides with deregatory /negative comments when He contacted forum in good faith seeking help. From his comment it is evident He was distracted and disappointed .
Meantime He was cancelled/restricted making further inquiry into his predicament impossible.
I am not sure how it can be achieved without posting . So joining few days before and reading only 25 minutes is enought for basic level ??
So be it.
Another Item :
I have deleted other data leaving what is relevant. Wondered how this could have happened but below explains and that is all I wanted to know.
Interesting indeed and Alias lupus below remark is not entirely unfounded and/or considered as impossible scenario.
Trust Level 4 – Leader
Leaders are regulars who have been around forever and seen everything. They set a positive example for the community through their actions and their posts. If you need advice, these are the folks you turn to first, and they’ve earned the highest level of community trust, such that they are almost moderators within the community already.
Get to trust level 4 by…
- Manual promotion by staff only
- (Possibly via a to-be-developed election system in the future)
If there is anything You would like to add it would be appreciated.
Learned a lot today.THX.
“Likes” and “greenhorns” will wait till next day then .
Cheers
addendum: 11.10.24 late pm
First of all my sincere appologies to Mr.Pascal for using his profile for my own purposes. I am sorry.
And indeed @Sand_Pebble is 100% right that i am weird.
Below is a screen shot with juxtaposition of two cards of the same profile . The lower one was done when I asked Alias Shipoflegend to perform the test The next one is when I had my very educating and revealing conversation vith @dbeierl who informed me about the levels :
As one can see the mysterious change of alias ShipofLegend trust level from TL0 to TL1 has taken place in that time frame which was abt 1 hr .
WEIRD IS IT NOT ???
Or was it devine intervention , magic , woodoo , russian rulette maybe ???
Ok I know it was COINCIDENCE . Thank You. I think I will contact via PM the provocatour @LupusProximo to discuss further weird plan of action.
I am going to take my first glass of wine now
oops , have just earned my “First Mention” . What the hell is that ??
As one weirdo to another, you being weird bro.
Yeah I know .
But what You do not know is that it is a warm up run
You will see it coming but I have too many unfinished business/post here that need adressing with care and determination
Be patient Bro
From the explanation of Discourse trust levels that I already sent you:
Trust Level 1 – Basic
At Discourse, we believe reading is the most fundamental and healthy action in any community. If a new user is willing to spend a little time reading, they will quickly be promoted to the first trust level.
Get to trust level 1 by…
- Entering at least 5 topics
- Reading at least 30 posts
- Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
Users at trust level 1 can…
- Use all core Discourse functions; all new user restrictions are removed
- Send PMs
- Upload images and attachments if enabled
- Edit wiki posts
- Flag posts
- Mute other users
Stop with the nonsense. Start another thread about it.
What for??
The original post is DEAD . Nobody from the forum is interested in faulty welding of US Navy ships or comment abt it .
Looks like no issue despite 3 wars in the offing : with ruski mir, chinese noodles and iranian ayatollahs and their Houti sandaled wariors. I am greatly relieved by such confidence and keep my fingers crossed it will be a walk in the park. Sure thing.
I have zero knowledge abt Discourse @dbeierl is loaded with knowledge. He is a smart lecturer I am a dumb but willing and interested studendt . So all is fine .No need to open another thread. Take it easy @Bayrunner .
Besides I see huge progerss here. in just two days of this -as per yours nonsense - I have earned 2 badges . I am happy and proud of myself at such a rapid progression up the ladder . Do not spoil my game please . PLEASE!!!
Pls allow uneducaated person to get savvy and competent.
Just ignore my nonsense . Be pls magnanimous and mercifull and do not flag my post .
Cheers
addendum:
@Bayrunner feel obligated to keep You in the loop regarding changes which will not require another thread
Many thx for Your quotes.
Pls accept my apologies for not responding as promised.
I got mp4 and screenshots ready and was working on the narrative with questions but early in the morming i was unexpectedly engrossed with some old historical post about banning , restricting excluding ,banishing the not conforming users .
Not conforming with the Community rules & standards of course
plus the issues of censorship ,and I have completely sunk in the old posts which i found absolutely fascinating. Reverting soonest `
