What about banned members though? I noticed for example SVF got banned a little while ago, but he can still access this forum via the general topics section- sorta defeats the point of banning in the first place considering thats where he spent half his time anyways etc.

But the moderation team is a bit different on the two forums, and I found that he did not deserve being banned more than a few other members who argued with him (and which I won't name ).

Maybe later. If you have good pics, you can send them to me and I will upload them,

I guess with a ban he must have finally realized he didn't own this site and hadn't written the rules for everyone else to interpret....

SVF's tone, manner and style were clearly not compatible with a friendlier, laid back place like this -- I don't know anyone who will seriously defend those. Whether you argued with him or happened to agree with any of this positions or not.

In general I find it quite easy to click on 'general discussion' if I'm interested, and that takes me over to the Eupedia forum... ^^ but one thing that's a little irritating is, if someone sends me a pm from the Eupedia forum, it doesn't arrive at me in the j-ref forum... I can't read it or know it's there until I log back into Eupedia the next time, which is less often. I know they are effectively separate forums now, but much the same people as are on j-ref visit Eupedia and send pm... and it's just a little... odd for me, as sometimes a pm convo isn't specifically anything to do with a topic from Eupedia. @.@ I realise you probably can't do anything about it, but just thought I'd flag it up... =P

You see Kinsao, the PM issue, or the "New Posts" problem that bossel pointed out, are some of the reasons why I was not very warm to separate the 2 forums at first. Especially that people had the option to eliminate forums they are not interested in from the "New Posts" in the options. But Elizabeth and many other people have insisted a lot that JREF's forum should be about Japan only. Now the split is irreversible.

Ah well, it's a relatively minor niggle I have.

I preferred things the way they were before the split, but it's not really all that inconvenient for me to just go through one extra 'layer' so to speak, to get to the general discussions. It's not worth my while bothering about.

I visited the Eupedia-- which I will get used to in time... It seems like mainly an organizational issue, but all the Americans are kind of burried somewhere in the middle of the forum...

Question for Maciamo: Will "baptists" be allowed on the other forum? Or is it a place reserved for those with a singular point of view and a harsher tone, manner and style?

Better stay out of there. Your posts may get deleted for being too provocative for a certain un-banned member. Just happened to Tokis-Phoenix.

If that is true bossel san, than it is obvious that the free exchange of ideas from people with different perspectives is not the chief goal.

I think, the chief goal was to have that exchange in a somewhat amicable atmosphere. But, well,... no further comment...

Thank you. I shall be sheepishly cautious.

Absolutely, they are two wholly distinct forums which now just happen to have the same member database. Think of knowing everyone as a ready made advantage, more than what you're going to find almost anywhere else on the net, then everyone set their bookmarks and log into separately for their completely distinct set of interests, moderation preferences, chat buddies or whatever. No need to go from one to get out the other side or think of them as necessarily linked anymore in any way.
