Basically Terreth, it seems that common sense modding will prevail on AH, as it has been doing.
Personally, I think you guys are doing the best that can be expected. You'll never please everybody, but you're continuing with a democratic approach, which is the way to go.
User interaction ftw, basically

Well going back to when WWM was cmod, we discussed this and agreed that user interaction was indeed the best thing for AH.RoundyMooney wrote: »Basically Terreth, it seems that common sense modding will prevail on AH, as it has been doing.

Sort of a forum for the people by the people.
It may seem that we (ok, mostly me) are a bit heavy handed at times, but sometimes we'll get a slew of people reporting one particular post and, when that happens, we tend to feel that the majority want this acted on.
There are also times when we have off days. We're only human after all.
We also make mistakes.
A recent feedback thread showed that Dr.Bollocko is capable of mistakes, but is also capable of seeing that he can make them and is big enough to admit to this flaw that we all have.
I will now take abuse for that self aggrandising post.
Right. The yore ma think seems to have been dealt with to most people's satisfaction.
Is there anything else anyone wants to bring up?
Oh yeah, the image thing will probably never happen. If we had 20 mods spread around the world, then it would be possible, but 20 mods would be far too many and we'd end up stepping on each other's toes and it would just be too messy.
I'd like to see it implemented myself, but there are just far too many jackasses out there who would ruin it for everyone else.
Every thread would be like a bad feedback thread multiplied by 100.0 -

Cheers. It's always nice to hear people say you're doing a good job. We try to keep as many as possible happy and hopefully we continue to do that. Javaboy and dr bollocko have gotten off to a good start, if after hours doesn't kill them or drive them nuts then they should be great mods.RoundyMooney wrote: »Basically Terreth, it seems that common sense modding will prevail on AH, as it has been doing.

Not sure how well this will go down but any chance of keeping the lisbon threads in the european politics forum?
I find myself getting dragged into them if they're in view and it's the reason I keep myself out of that forum when I can. It just goes round in circles and your left banging your head against a wall but like anything you feel strongly about you still find yourself dropping back in to read replies, which of course boils the blood again and I loose ten more minutes of my life ranting a rant that no one will take in (much like this one I guess
) and so on.
Any other subjects tend to get redirected to their forum so I'm not suggesting something new here either.0 -

I know, Im a fecker for not reporting things and yet whining about them Other than little things like that which I should really take the effort to report it AH is a great forum and I've never had any real problems in it.
It's nice to have a forum where there's a little slack to keep things informal and fun (This is starting to sound like Im talking about a dating site). I do hope it never gets sterilised by the easily offended PC crowd. That doesn't happen and ya got one happy poster! 0 -

That's a site wide issue so it would be up to the admins not us. The admins have said before that it won't be happening though as it would be too similar to rep and karma which were removed as it was abused and caused a bucket load of hassle.Malaysia Melodic Accelerator wrote: »Instead of "STFU" or "GTFO", a simple sentence with some thought involved would be nice.
So instead of STFU or GTFO we say shut the **** up or get the **** out? I can live with that. I try and be courteous with any user I have dealings with. If it's a spammer or a user who was sitebanned and has re-regged then I have no problem being a dick to them simply because I don't think they deserve to be treated any better.
The more hassle someone is the less time I have for them. For someone who is always trolling, causing hassle and throwing out abuse I'd be less likely to care if they thought I was a little impolite when I was talking to them via pm about banning them.
Also text is horrible for getting tone across. If I post something that's a little blunt and to the point it could very easily mistaken for rudeness, twattyness etc and vice versa.0 -

Right. The yore ma think seems to have been dealt with to most people's satisfaction.
I'm registering my presence as one of the minority here.
Some leeway here at least and for that I thank you.Regarding the "yore ma" thing.
We deal with them, like any other post on a case by case basis.
Will raising the topic of "Yore Ma" for discussion and argument be seen as a troll?Trolls will be banned. These things have already happened.
Accepting perhaps, but not happy.Everyone happy enough with that?

Do you mean on this thread or in a thread of your own?
Either way, both have been done already and the general concensus is that people are not happy with others pointlessly posting "yore ma".
As for the troll part, I banned someone for that yesterday.
If you wish to discuss the ban for trolling, then help desk is the place to go.
I meant starting a new thread sometime down the line. The signal to noise ratio on this thread means that a lot of arguments have been bypassed or lost. Perhaps in a few weeks after we see how effective the deletions and bans are holding up I might write a page or two of an argument as to why it should be left here. Anything for a shouting match debate. I just can't let 'yore ma' go quietly into the night without putting up a fight for her right to exist
As for the banning yesterday, well, as long as it's not me then I don't care. I'm older than Minecraft goats.
