I was using him as a gender neutral term rather than repeating chinelo's name or having to use he/she or him/her.
Interesting find! Explains why she's a web editor and not a reporter.

"Chinelo" proves what we previously discussed - a person can be "book smart" but totally lacking in common sense and people skills.

What a crock of shit that is! Have they read any posts at all from their regular irritainers lately??? That is so ridiculous! Judges and others purposely incite negative discussion several times a day, and continue threads for days and weeks with no productive discussion and nothing BUT personal insults and inciteful crap. This person is obviously not very balanced in his moderation, and would not know an intelligent post if it bit him/her in the ass. He/she reads all the shit from Jessie and all the rest of the boneheaded morons over there and then takes issue with a post with such a mild thing as telling another that their post is "garbage". I can't understand why they are attempting to drive intelligent individuals like you and swimmy away, while condoning the bullshit that they put up with from Jduges and Gitoverit and Jessie. If he/she were to apply here, we would most likely be suspicious simply because of his/her name. It sounds like one of the Bots on their forum, originating in Pakistan or somewhere, haha. Like "attention, you have won the $1,000,000 lottery, simply give me all of your personal info and send me $10,000, signed chineloOnwualu," haha! Sounds like something out of the "unmoderated"Sunday morning OD forums doesn't it?? I guess the difference between the two forums is that I would consider MY post an observation, with merit brought to it, by the obvious unfairness of the moderation over there. THEY would delete it as a personal attack. Another possibility is that they use their sock puppet which possibly resides with our membership, and condemn those of us that call them the "disgrace" and slam their idioscy on a regular basis. Whether they actually have a member on here, or whether they simply come here and read on a regular basis, is neither here nor there. I am sure they are aware of what is said on our forum, and are updated regularly.I am sure that we are some of the "not so well appreciated" members of that forum. I guess that we would have to expect their "less than experienced" moderators, to fail in a mission with any positive outcomes. Fran was questionable with some of his moderator decisions, but this Chinelo is ridiculous. I would guess it won't be long until the only ones left over their are the one's that play the game by HIS/HER rules, not the TOS. Logic seems to have flown from there.

Well, i think that link froggy posted explains a lot about who chinelo is and why she is so stupid in her moderation decisions.

I think I'm in love.
Seriously, I can appreciate the personal and ethical conflicts she has experienced in journalism. She'll get better if she decides to stick with it and matures.

I saw your post at the Overtly Disgraceful site, swimmy, and thanks. Hope you got a good laugh over much of it.

"The job (OD night web editor) keeps her in journalism without forcing her into roles in the profession she finds uncomfortable."
I wonder whatever that could mean.
Swimmy, why don't you invite Chinelo to join us here on Clipper's Forum?

Then I'd really be banned from there. I like being able to intercede from time to time. sepeterman cracks me up.

You're welcome froggy. I tried to help you out, seems like I became the butt of the sock puppet's attacks now. Did you know that I own the od forums now?

I left my little remark there. ;D I notice the HTML in there as well, and yes, as a Mod she would have an Admin panel there to activate what she might want at any one time, but as you saw it doesn't "take" when you disable the option afterwards. I can't believe the nut cases that came out for that spiel! Sounds like a sock puppet war over there! I think someone should just change his name to Ching-the-Kook instead.

My favorite part is that the guy is bullying everyone there, and when one person comes on, he cries wolf and starts threatening.

I appreciated your comment there Swimmy, but I was actually testing the waters .......trolling for different fish if you will.
I found it odd that the "Kook" could quite openly "threaten" a member to that extant and still have his post remain, while my second comment earned me a warning for the deletion of my post.
I responded to Ms. Onwualu and Cc'ed it to Fran as well. I even received a reply after that as well and will post the correspondence in total in another thread later ( I have had a very long day at work).
My opinion is seeing a very frustrated person in a job that they hate and are now taking full advantage of what little power they are allowed because they can go no farther. If she ever got into a thread such as we had with Lady BugZ she would have shut it down before it hit the second page of posts!!!
I will post this stuff Sunday when I am awake again........before I have to go back to work AGAIN.
They DO NOT pay me enough for this shit I'm telling ya!!!!!

donovan herself does a lot of the moderating and it is my understanding that she is highly conservative and very severe in her editing.

Don't worry, Ralph, I just sent her a response to her "As I mentioned before Fran has been on vacation." I asked her if I needed to e-mail Fran to have the post that threatens me and others removed instead of the people responding to that post be warned of losing their accounts. We'll see what she says.
