[RD] Making threads RD again!

[Bootstoots]

[RD] threads appear not to have migrated over properly. I believe the old RD threads have had their RD tags removed, but now we have a new, functional [RD] prefix. I've gone through and re-added the prefix to several threads that used to be [RD], but only from the first few pages and I'm definitely missing some. Please list here any threads that are supposed to be [RD] but are no longer, and we'll re-add the prefixes. Or if I screwed up and [RD]'d a thread that isn't supposed to be [RD], list that here too.

This is going to be a bit of a bugger

I've made numerous RD threads, but I can't find them again, and I don't remember most of the names off the top of my head

EDIT: So I've gone through all threads I'm subscribed through, and picked out those I have made myself. I can't remmeber if all these were RD originally, but most of them were, and I think they might warrant it:

Made them RD again.

 

[Cutlass]

I made a bunch back in the day. But can't see a reason to go figure out which ones.

 

[Kyriakos]

Make American CFC great RD again

Although there are other issues as well, eg a new forum skin, maintaining the avatar at its file size and not enlarging a cropped part of it as now happens, and allowing to search by user creater thread

 

[stfoskey12]

This one was RD: http://forums.civfanatics.com/threa...mate-change-what-are-your-thoughts-ii.567511/

 

[Bootstoots]

Done.

I'm sorry to ask a dumb question, especially from someone with a post count as high as mine (so, not a green noob), but what exactly is an RD thread?

I've been planning to look for more RD threads in my subscriptions but it's a daunting task I've been putting off

 

[Patine]

Ah, thank-you for that.

Some prefer to think of RD as "real discussion" but that, in my opinion, is a slap in the face to the many excellent threads that don't carry the RD designation but contain very good discussions.

The RD abbreviation is also known as "Red Diamond" - because of the red diamond icon used on the vBulletin version of CFC.

 

[Takhisis]

Actually, RD supposedly means that you get higher moderation standards. Of course, the moderators come from different backgrounds so their concepts of ‘light’ and ‘heavy’ moderator presence aren't always that consistent; that's what you have the moderation appeals system to eal with.
Also, a 3-digit postcount? Post more!

 

[Kyriakos]

I had suggested that RD would stand for 'Regulated discussion', although iirc it was never officially described by the local PTB.

 

[Takhisis]

Isn't it PHB?

 

[Bootstoots]

Okay, I'm unstickying this. Anyone who wants their thread [RD]'d should speak up before this thread slips into the abyss, to be seen only by web crawlers and people who use the search function.

 

[Timsup2nothin]

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you...and sees that you are a web crawler? Somehow I missed that part...
