Title: I left...
Post by: usmangujjar on July 02, 2015, 07:38 PM
I deleted my topics/posts.
When I started deletion, my topics are more than 25 and posts are more than 950.
Some members are unhappy with my posts, so I decided this.
But I am here to meet some good members... :)


Sorry to those, who posted in my topics and their posts deleted with my topics..


Peace..

I'm glad you brought this up. Why did you do this? The possibility that some people might not agree with what you posted is no reason to remove anything. No matter what anyone says, someone will always disagree. I have yet to see 2 people who think exactly alike. Also, some of our other members aren't too pleased with the fact that, when your deleted the topics you started, many of their posts went down the drain too.

Let's address this issue and fix it.

QuoteSome members are unhappy with my posts, so I decided this.
Are you thinking about me? I don't care about messages, I was just a bit angry you investigated everything and you put into question each thing done on the forum. For example when I removed the messages "updated" of iih, it's not him who made a fuss, it's you, but you were one of those who were making fun of him for these messages.
As for your messages, I deleted only the ones which were useless. Too bad there is no chat window on the forum, I think it would be better for you if you just want to say "hi" each morning.

I don't want to take decisions about the messages of usman anyway. If some people are involved in this, I guess it's usman, you and humbert.

I don't believe it's a good idea to remove anyone's posts unless there is ample warning first. The warnings in question should be made publicly so other members can contribute their opinions if need be. This is what we did with iih. He ignored our warnings so we proceeded. Moreover, only his "updated" posts were deleted, the others remained untouched.

Simply disagreeing with someone's posts does not constitute criteria for removal. Free expression of ideas is what forums are all about.

As I see it our rules are pretty simple: (1) use English or a translation, (2) no pr0n or commercial ads, (3) basically behave like gentlemen, e.g., freely express your opinions but avoid flaming or picking a fight. I think this is agreeable to everyone.

Sorry for that, I should tell you before doing.

Post by: scarface on July 03, 2015, 10:54 AM
I restored the "giveways-tweaks-tricks-downloads-suggestions", the most popular topic of usmangujjar. I was thinking that usmangujjar must be proud of himself. He's the only one who cleaned his own messages, with his own way. Ive seen many replies in the topics win7 and win xp support. Maybe some of them would deserve to be restored.
Like usmangujjar, I will clean up a few of my messages soon, no topic will be deleted though.

Gujjar already threatened to leave the forum a few months ago. If he's making a fuss because of me, his illness is probably transient. Maybe he has other personal problems, and it could be useful if he was given psychotherapy treatment.
I know it's hot, and currently some people are doing the ramadan, but these are not reasons to lose one's marbles. Hopefully on 17 July, at the end of ramadan, iih and usman will tell us about their party.

Post by: humbert on July 03, 2015, 06:28 PM
In order to put all this behind us, I propose the following:

(1) No deletion or editing of posts UNLESS it clearly violates one of our rules, e.g. commercial ads, pr0n or torrent links. Very old posts and topics should be archived. Maher will have the final say as to whether or not they get deleted permanently.

(2) If one of the moderators considers a post to be "useless", ample warning should be given before further action  is taken. The warning should be done in public. This gives both the poster and everyone else a chance to explain why, in their opinion, the post is not useless and should be left alone. Iih is a classic example. I would say the most important reason I deleted his "updated" posts is because, despite many warnings, neither he or anyone else spoke up to advise me not to do that, and why.

(3) If you create a topic, delete only your posts as opposed to killing the entire topic.

If we're all in agreement then let's put this matter behind us and start fresh.

Such excitability is not normal. You should use chamomile and passionflower, they calm the nerves and prepare the body for replenishing, restful sleep.

Post by: scarface on July 04, 2015, 12:09 AM
Well, more seriously you seem angry, I guess I've used profane language in using the expression "psychotherapy treatment", even though It wasn't provocation. You know usman, sometimes some people are ill and they don't realize it. I've been through such a therapy when I was at school, about 20 years ago, and I'm sure it was useful. A bit later, I used auto-medication, let's say I was smoking a few joints each day when I was your age. Well, I don't know if it was a good idea, and I stopped altogether 10 years ago because it was making me paranoid. And now I'm drinking a beer when I'm a bit depressed, you know it can happen sometimes.

To be fully honest, I think Usman is one of the best members on this forum. I don't really mind all the 'useless posts' and all. It's what keeps the forum active. The more posts the better in todays condition on the forum. Usman is a nice guy, atleast in my eyes. I think it's sad that he's leaving and feeling like we don't care and all. I care, I wont speak for all of you though.

QuoteI don't really mind all the 'useless posts' and all. It's what keeps the forum active. The more posts the better in todays condition on the forum.
Nobody said there should not be new messages. But look at the forum, a handful of users have written 80% of the messages, removing the deprecated messages can be useful if they don't do it themselves, otherwise some topics become hard to browse.

Quote(2) If one of the moderators considers a post to be "useless", ample warning should be given before further action  is taken. The warning should be done in public.

I would say the most important reason I deleted his "updated" posts is because, despite many warnings, neither he or anyone else spoke up to advise me not to do that, and why.
For the case of iih, probably I should have warned before taking the initiative of removing about one hundred of his old "updated" messages. and I did this because the first messages of iih had the newest versions, for firefox, opera...

QuoteVery old posts and topics should be archived

Hi usman...After all this time, you are finally back.
I was thinking you had no more time to come, perhaps you found a job...actually, no matter.
The man who is partly responsible of your departure is here, standing right in front of you. Some people in here could have thought you left because you were afraid of the pictures of the Islamists in the topic about Syria, but alas no, you were only afraid of a naughy man, a quite zealous moderator who used to delete the "useless" messages. By the way, it seems your friend iih was killed during combat. Maher should have hired a sheep, a docile, idle moderator, don't you think so?
Well, you came back, now you are probably wondering "what the hell am I going to tell them?" and you don't know. Well, I have several suggestions.
First, it seems you are very proud of your country. And it seems Islamabad is not a $hithole. Why don't you create a topic about it, to post photos and comment on them?
Secondly, I remember that you were interested in the versions of windows 7 I was making, back in 2014. You probably found the link in harkaz's topic about rebase. You can download it and tell us your suggestions. Maybe you will be the one who will tell us (me, Vasudev, Fuj...) if I really have to disable pagefile.sys in the next version (advised by Fuj and not recommended according to Vasudev).
Thirdly, well, I don't know.

Post by: usmangujjar on July 08, 2016, 10:21 PM
@scarface: I don't have any proper job yet, also don't need (I don't know why). Just busy in some other things (can't tell this). See the forum stats, I am on the top of most active users, while I stopped posting and don't logged in since last a long time. I visited the forum many times, but with silence.
I think you don't know who taken me here again, I don't want to talk about the topic about Syria.
In few days I will tell you about IIH, I strongly hope I'll be able to talk with him again.

I love Windows 7 & it's customization. Currently I have no PC to test any Windows version. Its your version, it will have all settings and tweaks as you need, everyone's needs and taste is different, but you can make a light and good version, and I suggest to don't make it "pre-tweaked & highly customized as you like", just put tweaks and other things to a separate folder, if someone interested he will be able to apply your tweak.
Title: Re: I left...
Post by: scarface on July 08, 2016, 11:09 PM
Quoteany proper job yet, also don't need
Neither do I, if I could I would do without it, but I need one to have a little more money, unfortunately.
QuoteI don't want to talk about the topic about Syria.
Well, It's me who talked about it, but I deleted this topic anyway, and to put it bluntly, I'm not sure anyone cares anymore about Syria, they can eat themselves, if they think they do it for God, very good, it's their own business.
Quoteyou don't know who taken me here again.
I don't want to know but I think I'm guessing who he is.
QuoteI have no PC to test any Windows version.
You don't need any extra computer...just vmware player or virtualbox.
QuoteHow did you find out about Iih..??
Well shadow.97, by noticing his absence, I deduced, a bit quickly, that the removal of his messages (even humbert was getting sick of his many "updated" messages) prompted him to go away. The expression "killed in combat" is perhaps not really appropriate, I now think I'm the only one laughing.

Finally, I wanted to say it's good news if some users come back, I was afraid I might become the only one speaking on this forum (with vasudev and humbert). I'm sure that some people are downloading the few movies I'm suggesting (and uploading), others find my messages are rather interesting, notably in the topic about finance, but the forum is missing diversity. It's good to say you are here, I think the forum understood that, but we need some people who can prove useful, on whom we can rely to answer the questions of the casual users, for example I noticed Christopher had unanswered questions. I suggested you could create some interesting topics because I'm sure it would be beneficial to have someone else on the forum posting photos. I mean, there are so many photos of Paris in the "new photos" topic I created that the users are probably vomiting when they see Paris now. What's more with google map they can see whatever street they want. But who knows Islamabad or Pakistan on the forum besides you? And if you have interesting Pakistanese movies (with English subs...), well, you could still present them or upload them...

As for the deletion of messages, well, I decided I would put the outdated messages in the archive section. That's what I did with the topics of Bladeshark (the ones with dead links), if he comes back he can still put them back in the program section.

Well, scarface I think you must provide a log for applied tweaks, if in case some user who isn't knowledgeable with PC stuff messes up. For ex. A user with 2 GB of RAM would observe BSOD when they run out of memory.
Can you upload Revenant, Dorian grey to Mega, its somewhat easier to dl from there, because the connection is unsteady due to rain.
Also anyone interested in Hiren's like W8 and w10 for quick diagnostics and repair, I've it in my Mega account or otherwise use direct link http://sergeistrelec.ru/winpe_10/58-winpe-10-sergei-strelec-x86-x64-20160627-russkaya-versiya.html (http://sergeistrelec.ru/winpe_10/58-winpe-10-sergei-strelec-x86-x64-20160627-russkaya-versiya.html)

What are you implying here? A moderator's job is to do things such as eliminate topics written by bots, warn users about abusive behavior and rearrange topics should the need arise. Any moderator who arbitrarily deletes or alters our valued users' posts is abusing his power.

There is nothing sheep or docile about moderation as described above.

PS: I'm glad you mentioned iih, let me use him as an example. He kept posting these useless "updated" posts. I warned him time and again, but he just kept doing it. What angered me most is that he did not even write me back to tell me why he believed his posts were necessary and ask me not to delete them. It was only after exhausting alternative that I started deleting his posts - at least maybe that way I could get his attention.

I did not advise you to disable the page file by default. That would be a recipe for disaster since you don't know the amount of RAM on the target system. I absolutely don't recommend this on systems with less than 8GB, and some will probably argue it should be at least 16.

I got rid of the pagefile completely when I surpassed 8GB of RAM and have never looked back. Before taking the jump you might want to to open up Task Manager and see how much RAM your programs are eating up. I have always had plenty of RAM left over.
