Junior, I haven't thought about that, but it is still only reading. If you read your posts that you receive through your emails and don't post at all for over a year, then what? Also, if one posts on figu through email, wouldn't it show on Figu that you had accessed that time? Salome and love to all, Isabella Coca | ||

Moderator, A week or so ago I thought I was posting a question for Billy to answer in regard to the ancient moons of Earth that preceeded the present Earth's Moon. Christian had relayed on to me in an email a general statement that Billy had told him that when he(Billy) was a young boy Sfath had told him that the Earth had had other moons in its ancient past. I posted my question in the typical post box as this one but I can not find my post. I think I have not posted at the right time. Is there a way to locate this post and email me a copy of what I posted, so that I can re-type it when new questions for Billy are allowed. Larry Driscoll email larrydriscoll@mchsi.com Hi Larry, Try this link: http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/12/6089.html?1158939571 Regards Scott Larry Driscoll | ||

I had a suggestion for improving the voted star-rating system for the postings. If it were set up where only registered users could rate a posting this might eliminate some of the single-star ratings that seem to be given on what appears to be a grudge against individual posters. Right now it appears that anyone can come into the forum and rate a posting. | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 954 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi David, I really don't understand why the star rating has become such a big deal the last year? Initially I thought if someone liked your post a little, you would receive a lower star rating, and if someone really liked what you wrote they would give you a higher rating...now it has become those who get a one or two star rating that somehow they are being targeted as writing something unpopular or negative in someway...I don't believe it was ever meant to give negative feedback, but rather indicated a range of positive appreciation... Regards Scott | ||

I would recommend www.amazon.com article review system, where the user has two chances to evaluate another user`s review, named "was this article useful to you- yes- or -not- ". Yesterday I became 3 one star votes and I know why, it is because someone thinks there is some affinity/empathy Hector-Dyson.I don`t care about that, but people should vote according to the quality of the text/comment, not just in the childish way of "this guy supports the one i can`t stand, therefore he gets my punishment :D" Many of those 1 star ratings have to do with forum users that have such "punishment" mentality, people that do not want to be helpful and they are so lazy that they prefer to rate 1 star instead of commenting whats right and whats wrong with the post they are evaluating. Of course i think they have a wrong attitude. | ||

Hi all, If there is going to be a voting system, I'd much rather see a transparent one, where the voters' identities are shown. Of course all the fightened and irresponsible anonymous people here would be even more scared of that, but at least we could spot the trends and identify the lurking spoilers. I personally think the whole idea of being anonymous on this FIGU list goes 100% against the basic idea of taking full responsibility of all our thoughts, words and deeds. Salome, Dyson | ||
Norm Member Post Number: 1035 Registered: 02-2000 |
Someone is 1 star-ing everybody just to piss people off. I bet its because they don't like the voting. They figure if they get enough people pissed the system will be removed. My Website | ||

That one-starring started as soon as a certain person left the forum . "I don't give a damn" what he says , thinks or does . Mark Campbell | ||
Matt Member Post Number: 76 Registered: 04-2006 |
Mark, who do you think this person is who has left the forum that is the person who is one starring everyone? | ||
Markc Member Post Number: 395 Registered: 06-2000 |
Hi Matt ; It's not important , but if you wanted to think about it further ( and why would you?) you could figure it out . It's also over by now , a moot point . Kind Regards , Mark Mark Campbell | ||

Hi All.... I would agree: there seems to be SOMEONE...trying to torpedo us all, through the Star-Rating system! On practically all the Knowledgeable and Wise postings, this individual 'Consciously' rates with 1 star. I have noticed this for a long while now. So, there is a mouse hiding in his/her hole, and comes out so every now and than...to see if it can take our cheese, without us..knowing! But this person is only 'Giving' him/her self away, of course! I think the moderators can see...whom this individual is!? Good to know that the Rating-system is gone, is my opinion. Makes this board look like a: 'How Do You Rate This Product' Shopping web site. And thus: you Buy the product...or not!? Well: I don't Buy That! Edward. | ||
Alan Member Post Number: 78 Registered: 06-2006 |
The one star rater seemed to pop up straight after Matthew_ajy_b left the forum, and i noticed that certain individuals (dyson, ect) posts, no matter how good the content was, were always getting one starred. He was also the one that had the big arguement with Dyson and various other knowledgeable people here too. | ||

Dear forum members OM 2465. To be without guilt means to be without worry. Dear Members, it seems this episode is water under the bridge for us all and we needn't give any further undeserved attention on this matter seeing as the voting system is gone. Suspicion is like a dreaded plague that keeps on spreading and infecting, that sees no end but keeps on churning and casting a dark cloud over everything. It reminds of a time when one of my employee was stealing from the company and from her fellow workers. Before we find out who it was, anytime something would go missing, in my mind everyone seemed to be guilty and I couldn't discount even myself as one of the perpetrators in the eyes of my own employees. Subsequently when the past caught up to her and she got found out, everything that she had done previously had been cast with a shadow of doubt no matter how good and positive her deeds were. This taught me the same valuable lesson once again, had I blamed some other employee based on my suspicions, not only would I have made a fool out of myself but also greatly harmed an innocent persons reputation, so thus jmmanuel spoke "Do not judge falsely, lest you be falsely judged". Prologue:- I gave her the benefit of the doubt and having lost her face, she hasn't reoffended and it reaffirmed the value of honesty for all of the other employees and myself included. Cheers Matt | ||

Melli Member Post Number: 186 Registered: 06-2005 |
Dear Moderators, To make it easy for people to find specific posts and references I thought that- a printed post could also include the Post Number next to the printed day, month and year and time, which would make it easier and faster to locate in the archives. Personally I print what I need to read and this way it would be a more direct way to find specific info. I don't know but I hope it's not too laborious altering the system, or is it? Thanks for your consideration! | ||
Melli Member Post Number: 190 Registered: 06-2005 |
Hello, I am curious, is there something very wrong with the idea or is it impossible to have the Post Number included on the printed paper? I thought it would make easier to find certain posts, Thank you, | ||
Jakes Member Post Number: 17 Registered: 10-2006 |
Hello Melli, To each his own, but I'm always concerned with ways to lessen my carbon foot-print and reduce the use of consumables such as ink and paper (and clutter too). Best wishes! Jakes | ||
Thomas Member Post Number: 142 Registered: 03-2004 |
Dear Moderators, can we please add a thread to the BOOKS part of the forum for Guido Moosbrugger's book, Flugreisen durch Zeit und Raum? I know it is in german but I have a lot of things about that particular book that I would like to discuss. Of course the discussion will be in english so I hope you will grant my request. Thanks for your consideration! Thomas | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 993 Registered: 12-1999 |
Thomas, Are you talking about the picture book "Through Space and Time" which is featured on the Steelmark website? Scott | ||
Thomas Member Post Number: 144 Registered: 03-2004 |
Flugreisen durch Zeit und Raum is not the same book. Translated literally, this title means Air Passage by Space and Time. This book is only in german but I would like to discuss it in english and there is no specific subsection under the Books part of the forum. The things I would like to discuss are extensive and varied, thus a single Book subsection for this title seems appropriate. I hope you will grant this reasonable request. Thanks! | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 995 Registered: 12-1999 |
Hi Thomas, Yes, I knew the title did not match Steelmark's book, but I wanted to be sure. I usually don't like to create any new topic areas, because there are so many, and people fail to look when posting. In this case since the title has not been listed or mentioned in the book section, I will create a posting area for it. I don't know if anyone else has read or is even familiar with this book by Guido, but this might be a good introduction to it. Regards Scott | ||

Moderators, Where is my question to Billy Meier, it is not in the list of questions to BNilly in this round, I had a previosu postr that seems to be dleated??? Where is it, I ask that you acctach my current post that is there now tyo my QUESTION OF THIS ROUND. The post of mine that is there now is a request to Billy. | ||
Spaceman Member Post Number: 134 Registered: 06-2006 |
Moderators,I am waiting for a month to give ONE question and now for what reason have you taken it out of the round of questions to Billy??? | ||
Norm Member Post Number: 1053 Registered: 02-2000 |
Why aren't people that have problems not emailing the admins? Rather than take up forum space. You will get faster action if you go to them directly. My Website | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1002 Registered: 12-1999 |
Spaceman, There is only one post per question and answer session allowed. If I remember you had two posts, each containing a question. The first post was deleted. Please do not do this again, if you are not sure what you want to post, hold off until you are sure. Billy does not have the time "to keep this question in your reminder to ask the Plejarens when they visit? How often do they visit you now?. Scott | ||
Scott Moderator Post Number: 1003 Registered: 12-1999 |
Spaceman, Here is your first question/post and your second question/post: Posted by Spaceman on Sunday, November 26, 2006 - 11:21 pm: >From the story of the people of Arus - the Aryans, they attacked the Sumerians who are peace loving and the Sumerians fled to a region south to a land of dark skinned Europid people. My Question: Who are these people (dark skinned Europid)? If they are not extinct, where do they live today on Earth (countries), how are they identified (features)? Posted by Spaceman on Monday, November 27, 2006 - 01:29 pm: ***Moderators will you accept this request to Billy, I thought of posting it with the question of mine above, If possible attach the note below with it**** Dear Billy. My previous question about the people of the sunken land under the Indian peninsula, you didn't know so I want you to ask the Plejarens if there was a sunken land mass south of the current day India, is it possible for you to keep this question in your reminder to ask the Plejarens when they visit? How often do they visit you now? As you see they are two separate questions. Scott | ||
Spaceman Member Post Number: 136 Registered: 06-2006 |
Please excuse me, but I think the first is a question that would require some information the next is a request about a previous question | ||
Junior Member Post Number: 134 Registered: 12-2004 |
Dear Moderators, There is something that has been keeping my mind busy every once in a while since about last week or so, that is… I have the feeling that although both German and the English forum are under FIGU, its seems like they are sperate in a way, especially with the Topics discussed on both ends, the idea I have been thinking is kind like making one section on both German and English forums that link each other, not literally but rather, that when people ask (Good) questions on the English forum it is not always answered, mostly because there arent that many that read Billys books… and the ones that are reading the books are usually very busy to answer the questions, so the people that are able to translate would post the question on the German side, that maybe someone there knows the answer. Example: There would be a united format when posting to the specific topic lets say ------ Question 1,2,3… What is this or That or how does it work? --------- Then once it is posted on the German section translated by someone that can, and answered, the same person or someone else can translate the answer in English in the format lets say ------- Answer 1,2,3… This is what it is or how it works. -------- Would appreciate any replies or comments to my idea… PS: A tip to scott regarding the forum structure, if you try to be more general with the topics should be better then having specific topics like for example ("Chariots of the Gods" - Erich von Däniken) it could be renamed to something general that one can discuss about him and others like Sitchin in the same topic. Just some thoughts… Salome, Badr | ||
Isabellacoca Member Post Number: 65 Registered: 10-2005 |
Dear Moderators, I have noticed quite a few times on the members' list(once you click the button icon above)that there are some people who signed up with figu and never came back. Heck, they probably forgot they ever came to this site. I'm talking about people who signed up in the years 2005 and under. For example, the 'new member' 24carotts became a new member october 15, 2005. And that same person's last access was the very next day. To me and probably others, it doesn't look as if that person will ever come back at all or not until years down the line(although that's most unlikely). There was another made new member who signed up on the 11th of october 2005 and that person's last access was the next day. My point in saying all this, or should I say question, is that shouldn't these kind of people be disemembered? Not the ones who have been with us for a while, but for those who really never posted anything and they don't really care for this site. Thanks. Hi Isabella, I hope you didn't mean to dismember which means to "To cut, tear, or pull off the limbs of. To divide into pieces."  Actually the moderators have discussed eliminating all accounts which haven't been accessed within the last year. At present there is over 350 general members, going back a number of years. This hasn't occurred yet, because we haven't figured out a way to keep track of when a person last logged on without having to either check the post dates of each post, or go into the admin section and check at that end. Either way it takes time..which no one seems to have enough of these days. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Regards Scott Salome and love to all, Isabella Coca | ||
Isabellacoca Member Post Number: 66 Registered: 10-2005 |
Scott, thanks. Also, I didn't mean tear the limbs apart by the word disemembered. I was trying to figure out the vocab. word for a person who's membership is stopped and such. Thanks for the heads up and you're welcome. Have a good day Scott. Salome and love to all, Isabella Coca | ||
