Frybert Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 @Stone Blue Unlimited likes would lead to nothing more than people spamming people they like regardless of content. Now there's no way to stop this entirely so a rep limit or 25 was chosen. Fewer, and people wouldn't have much use for the system after only a few votes. More and it would lead to the system being rendered completely pointless. It was chosen as a balance and has been looked at before, and may be looked at again. For now, thats how it is, and its time to move on from this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've hit my 25 limit only once or twice, anyway, and only after having liked posts very late at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Confidentiality would prevent you form citing specifics, I know, but--has any mod ever looked at a post that was Reported, and ended up Repping/Liking that post rather than moderating it? If not, I bet you wanted to a couple of times Hopefully someone can share a general anecdote that wouldn't improperly disclose a moderation action...

Yes, I've done that a few times, but of course only if the post doesn't break any rules and only if I genuinely like the post :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not often now that likes are so easily visible, though. Sometimes I've wanted to like posts that I did have to moderate, too. Just because something is against our rules doesn't mean I won't agree with it or find it funny, etc. Edit: Where did all these ninjas come from?

Vanamonde Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have occasionally liked posts and warned or deleted them. Just because it breaks rules doesn't mean it's erroneous or not funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaPaL Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 @Red Iron Crown Nothing specific yet, but occured to me starting a poll on some subject like Star Wars x Star Trek, Marvel x DC, SpaceX x Blue Origin... you got the idea. Just to know what people here prefere, just out of curiosity. Anyway... I don't know if would be the case here, but theses topics sometime get out of hand. So I would start a poll and have it locked, this way I would know the results without any negativeness that might come in the comments. But it was just something that crossed my mind, I probably won't do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooNamedGames Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 How's the moderation team? I haven't been as active as of late so I haven't been able track and see how things are going.

But it was just something that crossed my mind, I probably won't do this ++ NOT A MOD ++ Now since I have that out of the way, I wanted to simply wanted to respond to @VaPaL's question. Not meaning to start a war of words, but each one is so different it would literally be like comparing oranges, apples, blackberries, etc. I'd go with wider genres (Science Fantasy, Science Fiction) as your focal point. Now for my personal opinion and to answer your question: As fun as Star Wars is - it is science fantasy. I prefer science fiction by far. And the more nerdy the science fiction is, the more I enjoy it. I want to see a discussion of known science fact followed by futuristic speculation. Some of the older science fiction, such as the old sci-fi movies and serials of the 1950s and 1960s did just that. While there have been a lot of good newer releases, such as The Martian, I believe the science behind the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey will remain a science fiction classic for a while longer yet.

Spacetraindriver Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Has any flame wars ever erupted or do you guys close the thread at the slightest threat of (the forum version) total nuclear war? The only thread I can remember that might have erupted is the "We are Closing rocket Builders" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If they're bad flamewars, we remove the posts from public view so that others are not tempted to reply to them and keep it going, so you forum members don't see the really bad ones.

VaPaL Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I was reading the rules again and I just realised, what's the point of a permanent ban? I mean, the person only needs to create a new account with a new e-mail doesn't it? Related to that, what happens to the banned account posts, they are automatically removed? Thanks!

Posts from a banned user remain, though we delete/hide ones that were against the rules in such a way to be not salvageable. Quite probably posts that could be put in relation with a ban will go hidden too. We have a few techniques to avoid a permanently banned user to return under a different name. Sorry if I can't provide details, as those will only help mischievers to try other ways . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
