@jmgcaguicla Your memes are really wrecking any possibility of discussion. You've done it four times in just this thread! Please take four days off. Please come back after the four days and help us by making substantive and helpful contributions to our discussions. Thanks and best wishes!
Can't wait to see @Arkas banning himself again.
my best bet is somehow @letlover got into @Arkas 's acc
Would you like that medium rare?
What is this, North Korea all of the sudden that people can't voice their opinions anymore?
This is a forum were people should respect each other not crap on threads meant for newer members.
I don't eat my food raw.
But encouraging to post WE-LOVE-PURPLE a hundred times is fine? Sorry, but at this point it's a clown fiesta "moderation" imo. Although I'd say that memes are definitely more entertaining than the other
What does one thing have to do with the other???
Stop posting off topic posts on this thread please.
Nowadays it needs a youtube video to spell out 'ssh-keygen' ?
If this is considered content, then it doesn't surprise that colorful gifs and images in this threads makes some peoples head explode...
Obviously you are not the target audience for this thread...
so? there is/has to be a target audience for each thread? maybe youtube some video about channels and the concept of public discussion boards first ...
it's a thread open for discussion by everyone. that is what the audience here is looking for. and that's what I'll do. discuss. obviously I'll discuss the means to spell out 'ssh-keygen' , which by the way is on topic.
if you just want a collection of "helpful" anything, maybe put it on a blog or wiki or link collection? a platform for discussions most likely is not the place to randomly spam some youtube videos or man pages.
No, but If a thread is 'beneath' you, then move along. I do not 'randomly spam' youtube videos, I am building towards something.
sorry mate, but you are around long enough to know, that this is not how it works.
if you do not want to discuss with me how hard it could be to spell out 'ssh-keygen' - you sir can move along yourself as well, this is a two-way street.
I created this thread for a specific target audience that I KNOW exists, one that prefers videos over written instructions, although the in the end we will have both. You come here and tell me to move along? I am not crapping on your thread buddy, you're the one doing that.
Honest question -- where are they? If they've got accounts here they're being awfully quiet - not replying or using the "thanks" feature.
sure, why wouldn't I ? you didn't get into the discussion that I suggested, but only focussed on picking on my remarks.
just because you also have a moderating position here, does not mean I can't discuss quality of content or tell you my opinion about the topics you open or tell to move along, if you don't like it (obviously just because this was your 'argument' in the first place)
if other people would come here and randomly spam links to their page or youtube videos based on their hidden agenda, I'd also call them out.
this has been done a lot more in the past. Mods used to move this to chest pit or off topic. it's not even a tutorial, especially if not your own original content...
so just because you also have a moderating position here, no one really questions your motives (in terms of possible shill etc.), but knows you are a sock puppet marketeer for Jon. and that's the only reason this topic still exists.
I crap on your thread? just because someone does not see or want what you do and writes about that, it suddenly is crapping on your topic?
you feel offended easily, do you? so I ask why is that? probably because you already knew that the criticism of this content not being content at all and these topics even for lowend being to low end is right. get over it...
tl;dr; you tried to bring up something interesting and that's totally fine. people seem to find that approach annoying rather then helpful. that's also fine. get over it!
and at least let people discuss your topic. that's what a board is for. or post the youtube link and close the thread immediately. maybe that will avoid further comments that you can't handle.
If by now you don't know the answer... In any case new users tend to be embarrassed to post in newbie oriented threads. This applies to many people across many fora.
This topic and others like it are of my own creation, Jon has nothing to do with it! Stop blaming everything on Jon!
okay fine. if that's the case, then you probably should be even more thankful for criticism received and not threaten people by bringing your moderators powers into play - which you did quite soon after someone called your topics spamming.
either it's your personal doing and you deal with it like any other regular user would have to do (and maybe wait for other mods to engage if they feel the need to). or you act as a moderator and make this topic look like something official. with that Jon has to take the blame for you actions as you act as his representative.
so, what's it gonna be?
Serious question; is there a reason these tutorial videos aren't posted under 'tutorials'? I would have thought that your "nervous newbies" would be more likely to go there, than plow through the chaotic cesspool that is General.
I actually waited for another mod to take action. Please re-study the thread.
Good point, my bad. I'll fix it in a couple of hours. Thanks!
I really don't get it. Why are you taking all this feedback as an insult towards yourself?
YouTube tutorials are always a good thing. HOWEVER, as something as specific as terminals and everything with it, that doesn't cut it. No one's going to retype all of it into a terminal. Most people just want to "copy-paste" and be done with it. That's the only reason stack overflow is even a thing. Besides it being toxic as fuck.
I am not. Is having a different opinion and defending it now called taking an insult to ones self?
Please read my edited part.
Also you're being really hostile defending your opinion.
