it is not board software but the proxy, it's happening to mods as well as everyone else
Thanks Pops. Respectfully, I don't know why saying I don't like it is seen as "paranoid". Nor do I see why trying to make a productive suggestion that exempting a list of long term posters with a record of good behavior (relative to the COC, reasonable courtesy, etc, and that I believe I am part of that group) should be seen as paranoid.
I AM NOT suggesting that this is only happening to me, or is happening to me more than anyone else -- just that the way it is implemented, it has an impact. I was polite. I was not angry or spewing (IMO).
It sounds like if it's the proxy, then it will happen to everyone, period. So be it -- I can certainly accept that (and not be paranoid at all about it).
I certainly can change my habits and go to saving the text of my posts -- I just prefer using the tool on the site I'm posting to, as provided. Call it a habit, but perhaps an unrealistic habit given what the modern internet has morphed into.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
