Why has the Janeway tag been removed from all threads?

Removing it from the entire history of the BBS would certainly take a LOT of time.

And now I have some work to do..

Someone's been busy.

Years ago I read how TPTB in USSR sent out a memo to remove "page xxx" from the encyclopedia and put in "this" "XXX" one instead.

I hate to say it, but one of the reasons I prefer paper books over internet versions is that its harder to erase something/ someone from history that way. I'd rather buy an encyclopedia than rent usage per month on a website devoted to same.

Don't agree with censorship whether it is by committee or by one disgruntled fan.

Sometimes an admin will remove a word from the cloud if it's kind of redundant. Or if people obviously know where to go to discuss a topic. Janeway topics are pretty much going to be in here. Another example would be the word "Voyager." It doesn't need to be mega sized in the cloud as there is a whole forum devoted to it. Don't take offense to anything in the tag cloud. It gets cleaned from time to time. No conspiracy. Maybe.

If it was a mod cleaning up the cloud why was the tag "star trek" not removed? Surely that is the most redundant tag of all?

The cloud is different again. Now "green lantern" is bigger than "TOS." I think the cloud is destined to be a poor gauge of popularity. I mean, how many people actually tag, and what percentage of threads have tags?

Crazy people.

The tag 'janeway' has, for a second time, been removed completely from the BBS. I have posted about it in the Q and A section:

Maybe there's an active cell of Janeway h8erz about. Maybe it's time to get real.

Since the mods aren't responding, I suspect its cuz they don't know who's doing it either. Which suggests someone's hacked the board controls. That can't be a "good" thing, can it?

It's like someone's taken the safety off the holodeck.

Probably the Janeway tag got so biiiiiiiiiiiiig that it didn't fit into the window anymore or even outgrew all screens!

Like how shrinking to microscopic levels in the Marvel Universe shunts you intot he Micoverse where the micronauts live, but in reverse? I think henry Pym was discussing an oververse at one point you could get to by growing but hasn't too sure about the damage he would do tot he solar system in any attempt to generate that much additional extradimensional mass.

The thing is it was never anywhere as big as the Genre Babe tags were for months.

While "they" in bulk may not know which mod is removing it someone obviously knows.

[Guy Gardener]

What? Gone again?

And I see that "Star Trek" is big now, just like we laughed that it wasn't.

[lurok]

But now Enterprise is HUUUGE, so someone's 'aving a larf. I am blame teacake and Miss Lemon.

[teacake]

I don't care if Enterprise or anything else gets huge. What bothers me is the only way it could be removed from the entire BBS is if a moderator did it.

[Guy Gardener]

A modertor could get in trouble.

An administrator could be having a laugh.

Christian could be playing with us like a god.

we don't know how high this goes.

besides.

What they've done is artificially manipulating the tag cloud to think that there are no Janeway tags and a bugger load of Enterprise tags. I'm assuming once a month or week or timely duration, the cloud adjusts for drift (stategate much?) by taking an accurate census of the tags, which is why Janeway came back...

Unless there's a mod war going on.

If only a mod could take Janeway away, then only a mod could have brung her back.

When two mods got to war, go to war...

When two mods go to war, go to war...

We're like ants, or the French wondering what this thing called World War II was.
