A Note on Flagging
We are allowed to insult public figures, (like Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump). We are allowed to insult groups of people, (like Conservatives and/or Liberals). We are allowed to insult smaller groups of people, (like the KKK, Westboro Baptist Church. and protestors)-- all in accordance with the Code of Conduct .
What we cannot do is insult each other. Period. We can not call each other names, we can not make truly disparaging remarks, and we can't stalk, harass, or otherwise bother each other. THAT is a Code of Conduct violation.
So, before you flag something, make sure it is a real CoC violation, take a deep breath, think clearly, and then, if you're sure it is a CoC violation, you can flag it.
Perrie is looking into temporarily removing flagging privileges from some of our more prolific flaggers, just because they flag everything. And I mean everything. Remember:
You can't flag something just because you don't like it, and
It has to be a CoC violation.
Just a head's up.
We truly want you to report CoC violations -- but many of the flags we receive are frivolous, time consuming, and downright silly.
Happy Commenting!
Thank you for coming by!

E.A LOL and May I please have a Negative Voting Choice, like I said elsewhere,
what is an anode without a Cathode
What is Yin without a Yan?
what is Up without a Down?
So I want a Downvote!!
We used to have a down thumb, but it caused ill feelings and ill will. Our decision, as moderators, was to not have it, to keep the membership from being quite so vituperative.

E.A ahh that that like an unruly child that does not want to know what CHORES have to yet be done, so removing the LIST accomplishes what?
To me, the word seems to fit...

E.A Yes perfectly, but what it also indicates that one surrenders to the unruly to accomplish what?
The sole use of emoticons doesn't really contribute to the conversation. This is a discussion site!
Well, it was carefully thought out. As you can see, it doesn't do much good, but at least it doesn't add to the general snark...

E.A See above.
Surrendering to the ones that do not want to see the Negative, does not built or engender a " Positive World " Closing ones eyes to reality does not change it!
Your opinion is duly noted.

E.A Thank you.
And you might have once again also notice the miscommunication and the problems created when one can not know what comment was meant for whom/when/where, A solution was put forward, I use that " solution " but what about the rest? so is a " solution a solution "?

I posted an article a while back that I had seen on Linkedin about the use and purpose of emoticons. They simply demonstrate the adage that "A picture is worth a thousand words". That may be sufficient excuse for a "thumbs up" emoticon, but IMO the "thumbs down" was and is not as clear as using a verbal reason for it.
He had better pay attention to what she is doing or it is going to be a long night!
