:I know you don't always see eye to eye with Thundergnat but I think you'll probably agree that (together with Paddy3118) he does a good job of administering the site, stamping hard on spammers and, of course, adding some interesting tasks himself. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 23:17, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
:: I'd wish he spend more time on removing vanity tags. He was good along pretty good one day or so at those removals, but he stopped short after removing (mainly) one user who was really polluting one particular computer programming language. Once vanity tags start showing up, it's hard (if not impossible) to make changes to the code (example) without either making a change that the original author disagrees with, or adding your own vanity tag (I changed this), which compounds the problem. I'd remove them myself, but that can start an ugly and/or dirty edit war real fast, with a lot of name calling and such stuff. --- Oh yeah? Well, your mama codes in COBOL! Spammers are (to me), not that much of a problem, but like rats, if you don't get rid of them early, they soon multiply and everybody has to deal with the rat poop. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:56, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
:: I have some really interesting thoughts about what Rosetta Code tasks that could be entered. I was "saving" them for later, as it involves something that someone entered on the newsgroup "alt.math.recreational" --- or --- "alt.comp", I forget which. It was in the same vein as Rosetta Code, present a problem and have people find algorithms to find a solution. You WOULD NOT believe the crap that one particular fellow had to endure (the site is not moderated), more or less what Rosetta Code has (as far as behavior goes). The last go-round I had at Rosetta Code, one particular fellow was really making a pain of himself. He has been permanently banned, but he has returned under several different names, changing his aliases every few months. And that fellow was doing some pretty bad (destructive) things before he was warned several times before the banning. Sure, there are RC administrators, but most newsgroups monitor their sites, mainly to stop the spam for illegal drugs, magic crystals, answer books, hateful/racial speechifying, etc., and also, really bad and or offense behavior. Any-a-ways, I have two such problems in mind for Rosetta Code (and I'm really surprised that no one has introduced them here on RC). I don't feel the time is right to introduce them yet, I still feel Rosetta Code needs to have some maturity in dealing with people who don't agree with their (righteous) opinions. Well, that's my take on it. I don't know if you ever looked up ''Rosetta Code'' on Wikipedia, but someone (long ago) entered an entry on Wikipedia, and it was being voted on for removal as (apparently) somebody's nose was out of joint and didn't think it had enough merit to warrant an entry. I got involved and I keep updating the RC entry with vital statistics to show how many updates/edits/entries there are, along with the number of programming solutions and the large number of computer programming languages. The one guy that got permanently banned arrived there and really barfed up the Rosetta Code entry. It took a bit of work to re-establish the RC entry such that it was usable again. That guy hung around longer than a fart in a phone booth. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:56, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
Not many phone booths around anymore, like dial telephones. But I digress, once again. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:56, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
