Deddly Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not entirely sure is this is the correct thread to post this in, but it feels unnecessary to start a new thread about it: Is there a reason for the double forum links in the menu to the right of this picture ("Forum" and "Forums")?

KerbonautInTraining Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I have my follow preferences set to notify me through the forum any time a topic is posted in the Daily Kerbal. For some reason, I never get the notifications. I get them just fine for everything else, is there something special you have to do when following a board (rather than a single thread)?

Columbia Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Of all the big forum "riots" (can't find a less appropriate yet not-offensive name) such as the Round-8 protests, forum migration, opt-in prerelease, etc. What was the hardest to moderate while the users were having arguments?

I'll speak generally. Usually the hardest ones to moderate are the ones where no clear rules are being broken. Because then, we have to act as firefighters, and fighting such wildfires are difficult whilst still keeping discussion of topics going. Furthermore, often times with such contentious issues us, moderators ourselves are having the same discussion. I think as a general rule, if there has been a controversial topic on the forums, it's also been controversial to us moderators. I for one think it's a strength of the moderation team. With such a close knit group, it's easy to fall into groupthink and I like to think we fight against that as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andem Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) What was so inflammatory about RPing that it got banned from the forums? Apparently I was lucky to have missed it... Edited March 27, 2016 by Andem Damn Autocorrect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire thread is a must-read to answer that question, specifically this answer. TL;DR = It is too difficult to moderate anything having to do with RP because it infects the forums and causes personal attacks being written off as actions in character. Getting rid of it altogether on the forums means less headache for both staff and forumgoers alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snark Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 1 hour ago, Dfthu said: Since mods can close threads can they open them back up? Yes, it's toggleable. (But please don't take that as a license to ask mods to open up a thread that's been locked down. We don't lock down threads lightly, and if it's closed, it's closed.) In fact, it's sometimes a handy option to temporarily lock a thread. For example, suppose a thread is spiraling out of control and needs some surgery-- i.e. not bad enough to permanently lock the thread, but perhaps it needs some extensive pruning, something like that. That sort of operation can take a bit of time to clean up, and it gets messier if folks are posting to the thread while we're in the midst of cleaning it up. So a convenient option is to lock the thread, get it tidied up, and then unlock it again (usually after the mod posts a "let's keep it nice, folks" message, or similar). 1 hour ago, Spaceception said: What does my profile look like from a Moderator standpoint? Screenshot please? Shhh, not to be asking about the Secret Moderator Powers! It looks basically the same as what a mere mortal would see, with some extra information that's useful to us in diagnosing issues related to your activity. 'Nuff said. 1 hour ago, Spaceception said: Also, do you get notifications whenever someone posts here? There's nothing special about this thread, it's just a thread like any other in the forums. That said, anyone (mod or not) can choose to follow any thread in order to get notifications, so it would be up to the individual moderator whether they want to be notified about this thread.

Vanamonde Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 When we look at your profile, we see the same thing you see when you look at your profile. The difference is, when you look at someone else's, you can only see part of it because some of that is confidential, while we moderators have the the full view on all account profiles.
