Moderators lazarus Posted October 25, 2005 Moderators Posted October 25, 2005 I know this is so dumb, so irrisponsible, so against the spirit of CA, so naughty, so debasing, so stupid, so.... BUT why not have a pay per view section where you could view deleted posts. $10/post and the money donated to a charity. Anyone wanting to view the posts would have to sign a confidentiality clause. I guess I have just dropped 10 points on the respectablity scale of 1-10 but.... Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.

Neil D Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 heheheheheh..... It might be a good idea for a fund raiser... Of course, only those who want to pay $10 per post would be able to see that post...and it might help to releave some of the more contentious among us of thier hard earned cash....and disway some to be contentious at all.... of course there could be some monetary in$entive to do this for the moderators... And raise some needed moneys for the BBS... Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw
Moderators Bravus Posted October 25, 2005 Moderators Posted October 25, 2005 Heh, it's definitely a funny suggestion... but I think most of us are working on over-coming the part of us that likes to rubberneck at traffic accidents! <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Quote Truth is important
Paul Beach Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Margaret Gray responds: If you are willing to pay $10 for a deleted post, then it should be made available to you. That would help our dear Stan out considerably. Quote
Taylor Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Some people delete their posts (I have never done that but some have) no doubt because they realize they came accrossed too harsh or what they said was inflamatory. I think that they should be allowed to do that without worrying that someone is going to read it later. (Though Lazurus I like your sense of humor!) On the other hand...it Would be nice to find a way to fund Stan's ministry a bit better even if he isn't a charity. He works hard to provide what we all enjoy here. Quote

Taylor Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Thanks Jeannie! Stan...tell us about your other projects too. I'd love to hear about them. Quote
Paul Beach Posted October 25, 2005 Posted October 25, 2005 Margaret Gray responds: Perhaps we could have a two-tier system. One could pay $10 to read a deleted page, but then the deletee would have 24-hours to respond that he or she did not want it read. The deletee could then pay $15 not to have it read. There would be no refunds. Quote
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted October 25, 2005 Moderators Posted October 25, 2005 To be fair, perhaps we ought to rebate one-half of the charge to the person who first wrote the post. IF we did this, we might have a lot of posts deleted. In fact, I could possibly retire and live off of my deleted post income. Quote Gregory
Halfstep Denise Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 I haven't won the lottery yet so I would be able to afford to read deleted posts, especially all the ones from the 3ABN thread!!! The poll left out one possible selection - "No, thank you"! I didn't vote because I didn't want to use the word "childish" towards you Lazarus, but also didn't want to say yes! Stan, if you do the deleted posts idea, I'd love to see your tithe check from all the income you'd get from this wild and terribly curious group!

Taylor Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 hahaha my sentiments exactly Denise! I didn't want to call Lazarus childish either.....so I didn't vote. And yes this is a terribly curious group! Quote
Stan Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 :0 Interesting idea.... What about one "Inside secrets of a Church employee" what would that command in $$$$ ? <img src="/ubbtreads/images/graemlins/seenoevil.gif" alt="" /> Quote If you receive benefit to being here please help out with expenses. https://www.paypal.me/clubadventist Administrator of a few websites like https://adventistdating.com
Moderators lazarus Posted October 27, 2005 Author Moderators Posted October 27, 2005 You folks are so kind but vote your conscience. I really can't believe, however, that you would vote against such revolutionary idea. Maybe we could have private viewings of the full collection for very large donations! I guess I'm really innocent. What could an SDA in good and regular standing write that would have to be deleted. Its really beyond me!

All of you darn jesuit conference employees should be checking under your cars. All of them darn anti-jesuits got yer number, an' them are after yer dad-gum hide. Quote
Halfstep Denise Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 The posts deleted by the poster aren't as curious as the ones deleted by the moderators! Feels a little like I'm in the military! I would almost be willing to take out a loan to read the "deleted by moderator" posts in the 3ABN threads! hee hee! By the way, Stan, both of my parents worked for many years in the church and I learned very quickly that if I wanted to do something that wasn't quite approved, to do it as far away from the conference office as possible! Certain conference employees seemed to know everything! Denise Farquhar Quote "If you're all God has, is God in trouble? -- Dr. Frederick K.C. Price

All this talk of "jesuits in the conference" that i have heard over the years, has anyone ever ever ever met/exposed/been one?
