another post fallin to the back and forth. That is what drives out new people. Its not the flaming. Anyone worth thier wieght can handle it. Most even expect it. What we dont expect is that almost every thread turning into a NS/Awareness vs someone. And most of the time its been women you guys are against. (Contributing to my opinion that you are both closet homosexuals)

No NS you just completely derailed it, something you are remarkably adept at.

To answer the OP:

1) I like the suggestion to rework the search function and increase the number of posts returned. Sometimes 300 posts isn't enough to find a post I'm looking for.

2) a section for Newbies is also good.

3) LOVE the suggestion that FR not be in response to the last poster.

4) I think that an area without moderation could be fun. Conversations could just go wherever they go.

5) I agree that moderation should be more consistent. I know that different mods have different styles but I've noticed that some threads are locked relatively quickly while others go on forever.

and from pi's post:

If you want to argue back and forth, do it in Cmails or on the telephone. Don't do it in this thread.

what happened to debating the ideas, huh? where did all the posts where people were debating things go?

what's the matter, you didn't like what they were saying? or is back and forth is no longer debating?

I believe it becomes a case of personal interpretation. What one person (mod) sees as a debate, another person (mod) sees as an argument.

Hence the complaints from some, about inconsistent moderation.

Exactly! Especially when the thread of Zephy's that we trashed with this whole idea stands untouched with all the bitching intact, but this thread that is supposed to be about forum suggestions get cleaned up???

I'm going to skip quoting, even though the comment itself might be considered a hijack.

Did the thought occur that this just happened to be the thread that was noticed first? It is in the scope of possibilities since it was specifically created with the intention that somebody on the moderation team would be paying attention to it. For all I know, it could be because somebody reported a post or it just so happens that Pi is covering this particular section and has different hours than the one who is covering the General board.

Maybe this won't entirely be a hijack after all. Since it is a 24/7 board, it might be worthwhile to consider having folks volunteer (if people who were willing could be found) from various places around the globe so that the boards are covered. Not that much happens that is earth shattering during certain hours because there's a lot less traffic here. Still, there would probably be a lot less cleaning up to do if somebody would have been on to stop telling us to run amok in the middle of the night.

Hey Mods,

If y'all do clean up the Screw the Roses thread, please do look for suggestions that belong in this thread, like Peon's post 261:

quote:

A newbies' forum, heavily moderated, might just help solve that, at least for said newbies. It would open a space somewhere between 'Introductions' - where long-termers are generally friendly and welcoming, or they don't bother to visit the forum at all - and the established forums. In such a newbies' forum, I'd hope that thread-starters would be given the benefit of the doubt. If it looks like a 'wank thread', for instance, then long-termers who see it that way should just not post on it. Leave it to those who feel generous that day.

Thanks!

KK

Please hit the report button when you see a post that violates TOS. We are human and in large part act on reports because there is no way that we can see everything real time and not miss anything. Prior moderation staff seemed like they could, but there are more areas now on site, (vid chat etc) so attention is divided at times.

On this subject, I already do and would probably report more but it's difficult to find the correct wording so that the ticket is created. Evidently specific words must be used and sometimes I give up because the words I type in the box on top are rejected numerous times.

Use two words. If you can't think of anything else, you can use "TOS Violation".

Entirely possible LadyP, but I still think its a little fishy to be moderating arguments out of a thread where we were specifically invited to debate or "whatever" the ideas.

VAA?

Do you really want people to report posts?

Based on the number of name calling and personal attacks- ...it would be ALOT of posts. I do not mean a jab- I mean- people being flat out mean, and rude. Even when it happens to someone else- it takes from the thread.

I want people to report posts that are in violation. Again, I think I said it before, name calling in Politics and Religion is much more lenient because of the subject material. So no, I dont want you to report name calling and personal attacks in there unless heinous in nature, (alluding to bestiality, racial slurs etc). The politics and religion forums are more moderated than the Gorean Boards,and are singular somewhat in nature also. If you post in Politics and Religion you will not get in all probability the same atmosphere as the rest of the boards. That is not likely to change at this point. There are kinder, gentler area of the boards for those that wish to be there.

Oh great, VAA posts just when I am going to make this suggestion.

It came up on another thread, I don't think Mods should be participating in discussions under their Mod accounts. If they want to participate, they should switch to their normal accounts and dive right in, but it is a little off putting trying to dispute a question of opinion with a Mod. They especially shouldn't be expressing opinions on posters openly under their Mod profile, that is really not acceptable.

I don't have a prob with the mods using their accounts to enter discussions. Most of us don't know who this other person posting is anyway but we all know the mods and their styles.

A person's past posting history gives a "context" for a post frequently.

ETA. maybe that should be a poll.

Should the Mods post under their mod names or under their member names when they are "unofficial" and just joining in a conversation.

Yes

No

It might be a pain in the ass for them tho to keep swapping back and forth and they work hard enough to keep this place going as it is.

Not really, open a window of Explorer and log in under one account, then open a window of Firefox and log in under a different account. We do it all the time, that's how we can have all three accounts signed in on the laptop in the bedroom.

My suggestion: Can something be done about the little scroller thing. Somedays every time I click on something the page starts opening then it hangs for 4 or 5 minutes with the bottom of the window reading "Connecting to scroller.collarchat.com" then "Waiting for scroller.collarchat.com" . And when the page finally loads the scroller is blank. It doesn't happen all the time, but I wish we could get rid of it or at least hide it so it wouldn't hang me up like that. I end up playing Solitaire waiting for each page to open.
