And the makeup of the site very slowly changing such that major disagreements just werent tolerated. The thanks and no thanks buttons I didnt really like because then it was just a popularity contest. And then the CHILLING report your neighbor to the administration button came to be. I also think the Blockstar, Welcome Wagon and Old School whatever badges were just plain old cheesy. Im not on a site to earn merit badges!!! <br /><br />I will say for a little while it was a great site and ALOT was accomplished. <br />So thanks NBC for letting us Rogers Parkers use the site constructively and sometimes very UNCONSTRUCTIVELY and thanks for letting us to get to know each other. Looks like if we want frank discussions or discussions that become hyperbolic and heated and out of control or just freaking hilarious we will have to either FIND another site or come up with one ourselves. Really I dont think the kind of site envisioned by NBC works for the kind of people that live in Rogers Park. :)Philip McGregor Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580740928457414722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073419105741504751.post-21135278034233789442012-10-27T03:37:57.401-05:002012-10-27T03:37:57.401-05:00@ John V.

Because I couldnt believe that this was even real and where else but in Rogers Park would such a thing be posted. Yes the NBC News Blog had to steer things back into what their vision of the site was. Looking at the video they have now makes me cringe. I could just imagine "poor" Becca having to delete so many accounts.... The higher ups mustve been on the phone to her saying, "What the hell is going on with that Rogers Park account?, Its getting WAY out of hand. Becca we need more LOST CATS, and PARKING GRIPES and innocent questions about vegetarian restaurants!!!! The numbers arent looking good!!!<br />No one is going to rent an apartment on this kind of site!!!"Philip McGregor Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01580740928457414722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4073419105741504751.post-38618044936593116462012-10-27T01:03:24.860-05:002012-10-27T01:03:24.860-05:00I must say I was tickled to see some of the hilari...I must say I was tickled to see some of the hilarious posts going up. They were mostly pure fun being had in protest to the over-moderation happening on the NBC News Blog. I know it inconvenienced a few lost cat owners and a guy angry about a broken fence, perhaps, but when protest to the deletion of fellow users accounts results in deletion of one's own account - simply for expressing disagreement for the moderator's actions, what else can be done than to laugh it off at the expense of the overzealous moderator?
