WTF is feedforward?

DeVore · 03-02-2010 8:40pm #1

Up there.. a sub forum of feedback (geddit?? no, no one else did either).

Its for people who want a say in the future policys of Boards.

It will NOT be for things that have happened on Boards.

It will open sometime next week.

If you think the name is bad wait until you hear the title track.

If you're angling at a joke concerning playing feedforward backwards and hearing satanic verses hidden in the subtext, I think you're hearing feedback.

Feedback is deef
Feedforward is feed

Back, back and forth and forth
Back, back and forth and forth

Can we call it the Gravel Pit?

Implications that it is "up there" to be seen...You do know forums can be created, visible and yet unopen (as in locked for new posts), right? Thanks though

Its a good idea if the communities ideas will actually be listened to. A bad one if its purpose is to make the users feel like they are being listened to, before eventually being ignored.

But we only have about a week to discuss this future change in feedback before that option is gone for ever and we'll have to post in some strange unfamiliar forum. I think we need far more time to discuss this rationally, as we would all like to have a view as to how boards goes forward, particularly, as it happens, in the area of discussing how boards goes forward going forward.

Have you ever considered having a go at writing the sequel to Ulysses? :pac:

I'll stand on our record on that point.

Its going to take a while to get opened because I have an awful lot going on in my life at the moment (and little of it is good

) but we'll get there.

It's a bit like that show Flash Forward. If you can't see it now it means you'll be sitebanned by the time it's open.

I think You have to be invited to be a mod. You can not put your name forward. Thats my interpretation of the rules anyway

RoundyMooney · 01-03-2010 11:08am

Not so much what the frig, as where the frig is FeedForward...

Tigger · 01-03-2010 1:44pm

If you can't see it you probably don't have access, are you part of any subsersive sub-sector of boards posters, there is a thread in feedforward on this and how they are to be delt with. If not the eliminators said something about ex-mods apparently they can be an issue to the smooth running of "THE PROJECT".

DeVore · 01-03-2010 3:50pm

Currently a bunch of mods, cmods, admins and users are kicking about exactly how the whole system will operate. Its taking longer then I expected but its all good stuff. Once we have some ground rules down, we're going to make it publically readable. There will be a publically writeable forum (Lets call is FeedForward Public) for everyone to leave input on future direction and there will be a readable but NOT writeable forum (Feedforward) where those issues will be addressed transparently.
Something similar to the debating chamber system we have.

Feedback will remain as it is at the moment, this whole system is only for future policy debates.

Boston · 01-03-2010 3:54pm

Why the need to have a publicly readable but not writeable sub forum on boards policy. Boards policies can be discussed freely under the current system, so what will this restricted system offer except added bureaucracy. Who will this forum benefit and why.

DeVore · 01-03-2010 5:11pm

Because it turns into a soapbox for axegrinders and the usual agenda pushers. There will be a public area for public input too. This isnt a restriction of what was have already, this is an addition to it.

Additions can be subtractions. If I'm to understand you correctly, boards policies will be discussed both here and on this new forum. Then why would anyone use the new forum with it's restrictions? I'd hasard a guess that the new forum will be the only one that grains a reply from management. I've no idea where this incredible fear of discourse comes from.

What exactly is wrong with soap-boxing, axe-grinding and agenda pushing? Everyone has an agenda here, If the soccer moderators post something on boards.ie policies it's logical to think they're going to be trying to influence things in a way which improves matters for their little community. If I make a comment I'm certainly going to be working my own angle on things, if wibbs makes a comment maybe thats in line with the "greater transparency" agenda. Where's the problem exactly?

As it is, this forum is frankly dying a death. People don't post here because there is a perception of not being listened to. Thats your problem, this proposal might make things more orderly and "professional" but it won't redress that. It's a solution looking for a problem.

DeVore · 01-03-2010 5:38pm

Ironically Boston, I didnt make this decision, I left this to a large group of users. This was their (unanimous afairc) decision. Personally, I completely agree with it. Where you get this notion that we've always discussed future policy here is beyond me. Does the phrase benevolent dictatorship ring any bells?? This is the beginnings of making decision making more consensus driven.

DeV.

WTF is feedforward?
