LOL! So funny; I don't think Edward G. ever played a loveable character. I don't understand the game these chicks here play. They openly talk about other people, bashing them usually and then they play that I'll suck up to someone who doesn't like this person, blah, blah, blah. I'm really getting burned out; it's gotten to be cheap thrills. I could learn more just from reading.

Basically, there's not going to be any integral immigration law. The old one will simply become subordinate to all the conditions set in the numerous oncoming homeland security laws. Bush is already set to work just like Presidents did in 60s---by Executive Order; things that expire and hardly ever become permanent law. Government by decree, that's what we're getting. The law was necessary to keep the programs properly funded without having to beg for money in Congress every year. It's ditto now.

After they started discussing a group protest against one poster a couple weeks ago, and then created the appearance of forming an off topix meeting place to decide who to gang up on next, I sent an email asking that certain messages be taken as a group and moderators be informed of this so that just such a cabal effort to take out selected members would be unsuccessful in building a private kingdom.
( I admit the Aussie they took out needed some action, but the ignore feature could be revived on an individual basis so that a reader could select not to even see posts from someone they didn't want to even read and ignore.)
I after years of USENET understand how to warn and then ignore, in fact I have already got a small list of posters who I do not bother to read as they are simply here to get responses to their outrageous comments. Some people find an ignore feature a nice feature although for those not registered, it has no benefit as you have to log in to activate individual choices like that. To this date the ignore is not here, but they are I am sure considering writing that in, the necessary sub-routines are all here needing only a small amount of added code.
As to the moderators or even the site being biased for click score, I doubt that, the majority owners are in business, but if you look at their primary market, and their primary leanings,( this is not Murdock news corp it is gannet etc.) I would suspect freedom of speech issues, and liberal slant would be more likely if they did apply a bias.
For my own part I have complete freedom, no one has the least influence on what I choose to publish, and there is a multitude of editors here. WIR could by simply clicking a link on any page, apply to become an editor with exactly the same status I have.
The application asks for a resume, but from the clarity of her writing style, and from my own knowledge that my resume was very sparse, I would bet if she applied, and was willing to forgo copy right on material published here, which she agreed to when she agreed to the TOS of a poster, she would the next morning receive an email saying welcome to topix, you are an editor of immigration reform.
As KK already knows, anyone can review the newswire and start a forum discussion of any posting there.
As an editor you can create a blog post from any newswire article, any forum post, or any website page, OR write your own articles and post them. Other than that an editor here has no powers at all.
The flag if anyone clicks it, is anonymous even if you are an editor, the flag feature does not track the complainer at all.
Emails are another factor, anyone user or not can send emails, How they are weighted, I do not know.

Well that sucks. That means no immigration policy, no congruent laws. I wonder if Bush likes seeing the chaos the failed immigration bill is causing. I wouldn't be surprised. I think he's very vindictive. I predicted this mess and all the immigrant bashing that's going to follow. When the hate crimes start, these bigots are going to get just what they're hoping for a chance to kill some illegal aliens. I'm not trying to be alarmist, just think it's gearing up to that. That freak of nature Sandy just implied that I supported that child rapist. She is one disturbed creature.

Wow! That was a heap of information. Thank you. I thought about the Editor thing, but I'm already here way too much. Sure like the sound of all that freedom though. LOL! I like that ignore feature; used to use it on AOL quite often. Sometimes I just type in the word "ignore" to let the person know I read their post but chose not to respond. It's pretty lame though. There's this silly illusion of pride and that people really care about what you say or who you are and you don't want to be mis-represented. Like who cares, right? But I do try to be conscientious and not misquote or re-arrange people's thoughts. We're here to exchange ideas and information after all. Why try to be deceptive about it?
Yes, I have used the flag feature several times for vulgar language. I was wondering if it's kosher to flag the same poster over and over; I have to admit that sometimes I've been so angry I sit on the flag sign and click away. I only did it a couple of times though. I think someone called me a douche-bag; no it was worse than that. LOL! Thanks for all the info; interesting stuff.
