Quoting lolajessup:“ ok one thing i have an issue with is what if the OP is harassing people? they're not going to flag their ... [snip!] ... their own comments, and if it doesn't go to TDC I dont think it's fair for some ladies being harassed. does that make sense?”




I agree with this , it doesnt seem fair . Ive seen many threads where the op is the harasser more so than the ladies replying in the thread.....

It actually wouldn't be a bad thing for an OP to explain why they would like ANY moderation to be done, I agree.

I saw the same post (though it was, and rightfully so, in TDC by the time I got there)--it was ridiculous.

Exactly...I just got a moderation request for a thread where the OP was making horrible, racist post and she requested moderation on because on a post where someone said "Shut up, already!"
I mean...come on!

Quoting Jawbreaker:“ Do mods rotate? Or do we always keep our mod status?”

once a mod, always a mod-- unless you're naughty.

heheh.

seriously, your status stays. but if you continuously vote against the flow, your vote will have less and less impact.

her first reply was that she was going to flag every post that didn't agree, pretty much. and not to forget that she's a mod.

Quoting Pretentious Academic:“ I have a suggestion. I've noticed when OPs flag a post for a particular posterto be hidden from view, ... [snip!] ... still have to look back to verify, having some context for what we might be looking for would streamline the process somewhat.”

i know what you mean, but i'm hoping that we can do this at a precise level... we discussed doing that, but think it will just make the process more convoluted than necessary.

for example: someone writes "shut up" ... does that really need to be removed from public view? if you think so, vote accordingly.

i would argue that the OP should flag w/out regard for context-- it is the singular post (since they can only flag one at a time now that we've fixed that).

hope that makes sense.

I do not even look at who is posting. I look at what is being said.

Quoting Sarah_Marie {*HBC*}:“ I don't get why some mod's start posting in the thread asking what everyone thinks they should vote!? ... [snip!] ... more sense to just use your own common sense and vote one way or the other? Who cares what other people in the thread think?”

that's what this thread is for. we've updated the "thank you for voting" notification after a vote w/ a link to this thread.
