Re: Re: Seemingly-inappropriate reaping of nodes

I was not complaining that my posts were reaped. I am complaining that my posts were reaped without my being asked to restate what I was saying. Maybe, bring it back to being topical. (For example, in that thread, restating my feelings as an extension of the original poetry.)

I was not asked to do this. I bring up my position in the monastery because I feel that as a longtime member, I should've been given the opportunity to discuss the matter and take corrective action myself. If I chose to disregard the consensus of those who can consider nodes, then, by all mean, reap away! But, don't treat me like a known troll. I have not shown that I deserve that.

That is how reaping has always worked. It only cares about the reputation of the post and the consideration status and pays no attention to the overall reputation or standing of the poster. Are you suggesting that the author of a reaped node be given the chance to rephrase his post? That's an interesting idea, and I quite like it in some ways.	[reply]

Are you suggesting that the author of a reaped node be given the chance to rephrase his post? That's an interesting idea, and I quite like it in some ways. I think it's a great idea! Giving the author a chance to rephrase the post allows for teaching and learning, not just rejecting. It also means the ongoing discussion of why the post was reaped could take place away from the rest of the on-topic posts. Sounds like heaven, to me ;) And if the node can't survive purgatory (say by getting voted out?), it gets reaped 'permanently.' Maybe along the lines of the "Nodes to Consider" line, there could be a "Nodes in Purgatory" area that holds reaped nodes authored by named monks (i.e. not Anonymous Monk)? --Solo -- Keep your distance though, Chewie, but don't look like you're trying to keep your distance. (Chewie barks a question.) I don't know. Fly casual.	[reply]
