Jerk

[anonymouse]

A quick question to the mods, why is it ok to use the emoticon

:jerk:

to describe a poster but if you make a personal remark your post is deleted?

Not looking to get banned or anything just a reasonable question.

[473geo]

Because now you cannot give them a red

[Kwasaki]

Sticks and stones !!!

[DiamondKing]

I never noticed that one,

Well now they will delete the emotions LOL except smiley faces lol

[Loz]

i'm not sure you should second guess the mods. that's the thin end of the wedge.

[jackr]

I never noticed that one,

Really. It's surely the best one out there. Hit 'Show All' and its around a dozen from the bottom... thusly: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk: :jerk:

[Jingthing]

It means Thai oil massage, what did you think it means?

[Hawkup2000]

Don't worry. I'm sure Jingthing can fix it. Just make sure to point out that yellow symbols are just as offensive as red and green ones.;-)

Haha just joking with you. I read the thread were you specificly wrote that you had nothing to do with it.

My main objection to the red/green game was the TALLYING of them to specific people/posters, rather than keeping it at the post level only, about the post content only, going no further than that.

If that was the case Jing why did you write this on your opening post on the poll about the reputation feature?

"Personally, the reputation thing is a nasty distraction for me. Yes, I do use it, but I would much prefer the OPTION to be able to TURN IT OFF so that I couldn't give or get reds or greens, and my reputation would be stuck eternally at ZERO"

I see no contradiction at all and not only that I addressed that before, more than once, so leave it be. BTW, stop beating a DEAD HORSE.

You can't see the difference between TURN IT OFF..... and..... use at post level?

And who said the horse is dead....maybe not in his box.......but could be out in the paddock grazing.......awaiting his call back into the game......

[Jingthing]

Oh, now I get your point. Sorry. I previously asked for the option for users to turn off the feature only for themselves only, when I thought we were stuck with the feature. Now that the feature is disabled for all, there is always the chance it will be reinstated. In that case, I have been suggesting that the tallying at the user level be kept off, with the reds and greens only to be used to disapprove or approve of specific post content. So no more reputation at all, more like popular or unpopular posts, that's it. I'm done with this now, please don't reply, it's tiresome.

[Moonrakers]

Some people take this WAY too seriously.

[metisdead]

A certain poster (Thai) who noticed that her reputation was at -53 or so, made a comment in her comments noting that her reputation was sooo bad. Haven't seen her post since then, mind you the mindless posts she did aren't really missed.

[inmysights]

I think the OP makes a very good point. I personally find that emoticon vulgar. Can anyone come up with an equivalent for the term '<deleted>'?

[IanForbes]

Isn't that what fishing is all about... you get a jerk at both ends of the line.

[Jingthing]

I rather like the jerking thingie, but think it should be used sparingly.

[Ulysses G.]

The wants and needs of the gods are ever-changing and far from consistent.

[nocturn]

to the OP:

The correct answer is because moderation at ThaiVisa is arbitrary.

Good lord, in a roundabout way i agree with UG.

:jerk:

I've often wondered that myself. I can't type "hel_l", yet an emoticon with erect penis pleasuring it's self to completion, complete with "money shot" is not only allowed, but provided by Thaivisa. Definitely in the Thai spirit of contradictions. Great emoticon tho.
