Sampa Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 There have been several challenge threads that I've enjoyed immensely. Though I don't post my creations most of the time.The other thread I really enjoy reading through is the Open Source Construction Techniques for Craft Aesthetics. Some people come up with quite amazing little techniques with stock only parts/options.I don't think people want negative rep, but I imagine some people want to give it at times.Like,for,that one creepy kerbal texture mod? (Kill that thing with fire..please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 In you time as a moderator, what are your favorite thread you've seen? As a forum-goer?We used to have a thread called "Count to 50 before a moderator posts", people would count up to 50, and the score would reset to zero whenever a moderator posted. It got a little crazy with coordinated mass-posting and so on. That was great, we moderators even created a separate game where we'd get points for resetting the count, and the closer to 50 it got the more points the person who stopped it got. As you can imagine, it got a little out of control and was eventually shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbia Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 On an average basis, how many threads do you have to moderae a day? Is it a common or rare occurence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernovy Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 On an average basis, how many threads do you have to moderae a day? Is it a common or rare occurence?It will be similar to the amount of reports we get.I'll refer you to my earlier post:Over the last forty-five days, there has been an average of 9 reports per day.

SmallFatFetus Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I would think negative rep would help with *poop* stirrers, and people who are very rude. However, the other forums I've seen negative rep implemented into were much larger and had a much wider demographic. Those communities were also not nearly as polite and awesome as this one. I think there has been only one post/user I wanted to give neg rep to. Some of you might recall all the drama in the work-in-progress design thread. I'm sure you moderators got a load of reports from that post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Dilsby Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I wonder if giving some amount of -rep along with certain infractions would be effective... if nothing else, it would be a disincentive to anyone who might want to post an 'edgy' (but offensive) comment in hope of getting some rep for it. Otherwise, at least for the boards I spend my time on (Mission Reports, General KSP, and sometimes Challenges) the system seems to work very well and all is pretty much all sweetness and light.

sal_vager Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Why do moderators get giant profile pics?The profile pic image limits are off for some usergroups, such as moderators and administration, but it'd be bad to have a 1024x768 avatar so we limit ourselves, some more than others.Looking at you Claw!

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Why? And, does auto-spell-correct only turn on after a while? When I first joined, I didn't remember any words being corrected for me, but now they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windows_x_seven Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 See Rule 4.3.Ah, darn it. It would really help in having multiple people participating in managing it, like having a "SQUAD" profile. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
