LNBS - The People's Mod... term limits?
First and foremost... I want to express to Flop that this thread is not in any way shape or form meant to show disrespect or a lack of gratitude for the work done.

Second... this thread is not created to express interest in being a moderator here.

-----

Listening to a conversation tonight were people were talking politics (upcoming election and complaining about entrenched representatives) and it got me thinking to when Flop was voted in as the mod in 2011 and was dubbed "The People's Mod". I was wondering what you all thought about having a single mod position being an elected position for a term of 4 years.

In my head:

* Every 4 years a thread is created by an Admin asking for nominations for "The Peoples Mod".

* People would nominate... then vote

* The incumbent mod could very well be re-elected or a new one would take their place.

What say you?

Its surprising to hear people think this is OK..

Perhaps instead of a ban, you can have a thread/user tool that hides their post with a warning..like 'this user has been deemed to have been trolling this thread, to remove this user from ignore or unhide the posts in this thread, click here' or something...

Isnt there some way of handling this by allowing the users to determine who to ignore and who not to? And still show the users that you have deemed this person a troll?

I would seriously pursue this kind of idea rather than 'thread bannings are great' kind of attitude...and an arbitrary / willy-nilly enforcement of some vague 'don't be TOO negative' "rule"

Just my 2 cents.
I agree with you that a lot of thread bans suck. In some ways, they are even more stupid than actual full site bans. You should take it up with A.C., if you have a strong position on them, though, since the mods are obviously fine with them.

Anyway, you all know my feelings. I've said my piece. I'll bow out unless someone has something specific they'd like me to address. I'm not going to get into it like I did last time.
I've said the same thing about clay for years. He made them look silly trying to keep him out and broke their will. Thank god dole gives no ****s about what he looks like.

Why do you think it sucks to remove someone from a thread that is just mucking it up saying the same, usually off topic, thing all the time?

People throw out "why don't you develop this capability" from time to time, and I never really understand how that's a reasonable suggestion. Any modifications we have here have been designed by other people. If there's not a plugin to do it, we can't do it. You could probably hire someone for somewhere in the low 5 figures to develop it for us, but that seems just a bit unlikely.

Until then, thread bans remove the issue (people derailing good discussion) while allowing them to continue to participate in the broader forum.

He actually described exactly what we have, ignore function and rep bars that are red and green.


I think he was being a smart ass.

Huh. If that's the case, see ad nauseum discussions about why the ignore function sucks and isn't a viable alternative.

Because, just like with site bans, that ends up just being a starting point. And, because they are less permanent than a full site ban, they get used more quickly, which leads to bans becoming more frequent and accepted, and that's exactly the opposite of the sort of board this is supposed to be.

We've already had one person banned from the site despite apparently not having actually done anything ban worthy while on the site. We don't need mods making even more decisions of that sort.
