  1. You may like my concept of how Time works Link deleted
  2. In the list I forgot to mention the executioner. Yes this Forum is most generally well moderated, I have to concede that. However my feeling is that, like many elements over the Net, the construction of a civilized virtual society is still under its way. The several Forums that exist on the Web, this one included, do not have a structure comparable to the outside world (as I know it): imagine if the policemen (the Mods) were not paid, as if the lawmakers (the Staff) were inventing laws by sniffing their fingers, as if politicians (the Owner) were not ruling at all, as if members (the Members) had no right at all, as if free speech (what is that) were to be invented, etc. At this point of History, the Net is organized more like a middle age Kingdom, ruled sometimes by an enlightened monarch, sometimes by a brutal dictator. The French Revolution has not arrived yet on the Internet.
  3. Nice clarification, thank you. Maybe more transparency would be nice too. For example; "this ban has been agreed by 3 Mods & 1 Expert & 3 Members of the Jury" or something like that. In order to avoid fury toward a specific Mod, as has been seen lately (and erased quickly)
  4. IMHO the issue with Moderation may arise when the Lawmaker, the Policeman, the Prosecutor and the Judge are the same and one person.
  5. You asked for an idea. Since WhosTheFool (wtf) did not answer, I couldn't resist the temptation to drop my idea. What is your's?
  6. Probably because the title has 3 words that may appear easily in a search (Firts, Post, Prime). It may even happen that some viewers are bots. See here
  7. My opinion is that even if you get the correct statement (the sun is at the center of the solar system), it may not be recognized as true immediately. The history of science is full of such examples where, when a discovery has been made, it appears that the one or the other had discovered the same thing several years earlier but was dismissed or ignored.
  8. It looks like The Most Famous Artist from Santa-Fe is the author of the first one.
  9. Similar situation where monks decided to build their monasteries, the meteora in Greece. The natural beauty enhanced by baffling human creativity. Meteora net lift, 1908 by Frédéric Boissonnas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frédéric_Boissonnas
  10. Frozen stone on Baikal lake. https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2019/05/lake-baikal-ice-formations-photos/590374/
  11. You are now a pachyderm. From the greek (pachy- (“thick”) +‎ -derm (“skin”).
