    I lost moderating access when I logged in one one ip address with both my userids (I had one for home and one for work and ended up using the wrong one when cookies reset etc..).

    Anyway i'm not that bothered, been there done that.

  2. Re:Sexy BBC? on BBC Buys Google News Keywords In Kelly Case · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Its about as accurate as claiming buying some adwords is equivalent to "an attempt to direct all traffic to their special news coverage". Does the article submitter even understand adwords? I could understand if google was one of those search engines that allows paid listings mixed in with real results.

    The article poster is a dimwit and/or troll IMO.

  3. Re:No kidding on BBC Buys Google News Keywords In Kelly Case · · Score: 1

    The article submitter also seems to suggest that the BBC was complicit in sexing up the Iraq Dossier!

    As someone who pays for the BBC every month I am very grateful to their reporting, not always the best but it serves the important role of being a news organisation that is not a slave to shareholders/owners etc..

  6. Re:I still won't be happy... on Better Search Results Than Google? · · Score: 1

    They don't need to block them only give them a poorer rating, after all these sites usually have very little actual content.

    I agree though that they will always be targetted by spammers, I just wish they would fight back a bit more.

  7. Re:Maybe Yahoo is changing for a reason on Yahoo to Dump Google · · Score: 1

    .... and say goodbye to any great bermuda sites that dare to tell you what are recommended hotels.

    The people in this thread have been complaining that google no longer returns relevant results, this is the core problem with google right now. Most defensive posts in this thread are how to get around googles deficiencies, but that is the whole problem. E.g if you have to advanced search google and narrow your search to the digital camera review site (excellent site btw) you might as well short circuit google alltogether and go straight to the site!

    Google is on the way out unless it sorts itself out. They seem to be losing their keen edge, they are indexing blogs for example but blogs are 99% noise. They havent considered indexing forums, there are lots of phpbbs,UBBs,invision boards etc out there with actual experts talking about things and they are an amazing resource that has taken the internet by storm yet they just ignore it.

    Google groups is also getting annoying, unless you put -iraq -israel -bush in you end up with political arguments for many totally unrelated searches.

    Google will be great again not by simply listing everything but listing RELEVANT results.

    That would be good.

    One way to improve google would be to filter any domain that has more than one hypen in it.

    You know those results from - "buy-mobile-phones-cheap-now-online.com" that you get when you searched for "linux patch".

    You have no censorship in TV ads?
    I find that very strange.

    In reality you will allow some things we don't and vice versa (e.g we wont dub "shit" out from blazing saddles). Its not because you are more free, or I am more free its just the rules that have been made.

    None of us are truly free, only free to do what we are allowed to say and do.

    It doesn't make any sense because for issues like this they say to themselves "what would a christian fundamentalist decide?" and do that.
