Chel Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Ah, I see! On average, how many threads are nominated for TOTM per month? (it's okay if you don't respond to this for privacy reasons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 One to six or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmon Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 What's the worst, most foul forum post you've had to deal with (that is still suitable for the forums)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't discuss that kind of thing. For one thing, describing it might involve breaking forum rules, and for another thing, it's no one's business except the person who posted whatever it was.

Chel Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 How does the rep work? Like is it always set to 'Excellent' or something? Is there any way to change it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because we don't have any negative "reactions". Terribly toxic users who had to be banned in the end also have an "excellent" reputation. Even some spambots have amazing reputations according to the forum. So it means nothing. Not sure if it can be changed, though. I can't with the tools I have, anyway.

Chel Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Ah. I can imagine that having the negative reaction would probably lead to mass downvotes for little reason or something. It's kinda funny to see how they have excellent rep if they're toxic and bots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooNamedGames Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 A suggestion for the moderation team (more like the forum management); Personally I feel that the #kspofficial IRC channel has been a bit dead (though I do not visit it often so I am fully willing to admit being wrong if that's the case). A suggestion for the moderation team is to make the official KSP Discord server. There's already official servers for TF2, PUBG, dozens and dozens of games, so it's proven to be an effective platform and honestly you'd have the support and help of the rest of the forum no doubt as you created the server for it. Just an idea. @Deddly also wow, when did you become Lead Mod? I need to visit more often. Congrats on the promotion despite me being very late to notice. Also... if there's ever a spot on the mod team that could use an extra english speaking hand... I'd still love to help... as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chel Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Is it possible to report users or only report posts of said user? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Only posts and PMs can be reported. One can't report a user account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 But you can PM a moderator with a link to the profile if that's needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see the mods apparently like to say nice things about good behavior more than they like to say bad things about bad behavior.

We do note the good guys on the forums. If something is posted that is completely out of character for that user, it's usually met with concern first, rather than anger. We do care, and want the best for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
