That's what I meant exactly? I don't see any other meaning in my words. English is not my first language, but both express the same sentiment to me? I meant that if people were interested and wanted to take part, we would still need to get the mod's final say so it wasn't final. But I also didn't see the mods having an issue with an extra archive so it would 'likely' not be an issue.
As I said, the response was mostly negative so I don't see the point. Even if the mods were to be fine with it most of the comments took an issue so I don't want to cause trouble.
In the context in which you used it, 'likely' means 'probably', and there wasn't any 'probably' about it. You would need to ask them.
But looking at your original post, I think it was more than just that. You were pretty blunt: your subject was "a real archive" which could imply the delicious one isn't real, somehow. You declared the delicious account dead, which may be a little premature since this entire kink meme and all associated accounts are only three months old, and the mods have been asking for help with the account. These things might also have irritated some nonnies.
I'm sorry to see you're giving it up. I don't think it's a bad idea; the mods are having a lot of difficulty finding someone to help with the delicious account, and the more prompting posts and fills we have, the more there will be to catch up with later.
Your title does not help. To call your proposal a 'real' archive strongly implies that you consider the existing archive a useless fraud of an archive and implies insult on those who control it. That likely was not your intention, but it is the impression given.
Not my intention at all, just trying to give a clear idea of the connotations of some of the words used and perhaps some of the reason for people here taking offence at the op's well meant offer.
I am. I'm letting them know the connotations of what words they used and how the word choice contributed to the impression given so they have an improved sense of the social weight of the words they use next time.
?? You're the person causing most of the wank in this subthread. There wouldn't have been wank if you hadn't stepped in. The other nonnie wasn't causing a quarter of the wank that you are.
Ok, as a person who hangs out online where there are people who are ESL who are having difficulties with English that attract wank, what's a way an English speaker can help and provide some context to the English learner for why people seem so upset by what they posted?
My intention is genuinely only to help, not to blame anyone or make anyone feel bad for making a misstep that would likely not have appeared in a textbook, and they'd have little chance of knowing without a person providing some explanation.
Just please stop, I already explained to someone else English is not my first language and that maybe there was a misunderstanding in some of my words. I can't edit my post and I already said since no one seemed interested I am not asking the mods if they would be fine with having one. There is no need to drag this on.
All I see is that you guys are getting offended for the mods when there is no need to be offended. If the mods had an issue with my language I have no doubt they would have reached out to me and asked me to change it and screened the initial comment like they do many times when a comment is actually breaking the rules or being intentionally insulting.
I get in writing it's sometimes hard to get the tone of comments and even harder for us ESL who have to be constantly translating our own thoughts and sometimes not the right words are used. But, enough.
It's fine, there was a clearly a lost in translation. Maybe the mods can screen this entire post. I appreciate all the work they do, specially with the constant wank and I would hate for people to think that my intention was in any way to insult or belittle their work.
