First and second tier mods experiment
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 2nd, 2015 12:58 AM Author: demanding glittery state idea he suggested I figure we live in a world obsessed with tiers and classes, so I'm going to see how this works with mods. If it's a disaster, I'll undo it, it's just an experiment in checks and balances.
Taking into consideration recommendations made earlier today, I will be granting a few people mod access on a trial basis. Some mods will have the ability to delete posts and threads, and other "unmods" will have the ability to restore posts and threads if they feel they were unnecessarily deleted. I will be logging all these actions and they will be displayed in the following fashion:
Identities of mods will be visible to unmods, albeit with aliases, and identities of unmods will be visible to the public, albeit with aliases. There will be a page that displays all mod actions, in a better format than the garbage board. If there is abuse, I think it won't be hard for people to identify the problem. Probably overly complicated, but it's a funny scheme. |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:03 AM Author: demanding glittery state idea he suggested That problem completely compromised the mod system before.

Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:04 AM Author: Hot People Who Are Hurt House can you build in expiration dates? maybe have gold status last three months before it has to be renewed by you... might decrease the severity of a rogue mod (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27600409) |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:10 AM Author: Hot People Who Are Hurt House Sure: it's a bit like a deadman switch on a train. If it's feasible to put a time limit on mod powers, you could force people email you after 90 days or so to retain their mod privileges. Without your permission the account would revert back to an ordinary one.
The idea would be that if they've given the account to someone else, without an email from them confirming that they want to keep it going, their accounts would eventually expire, limiting the amount of mischief a rogue mod could do.
Cons: a little more administrative work on your end |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:14 AM Author: demanding glittery state idea he suggested It's not a bad idea at all. I get the gist of it. Could be automated. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27600463) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:06 AM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle Only giving mod to long-time accounts of known posters is a good solution. Of the names mentioned, Earl, flyfisher, and gogol ganguly are great examples of accounts that have never changed hands and pretty much could not conceivably do so, as far as I know. Same with this account (but not my other ones). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27600422) |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:08 AM Author: Provocative sienna travel guidebook site There will always be a chance of accounts changing hands. Keeping the total number of mods low + transparency is the best solution.
1-2 day mods, 1-2 night mods, and not a single more. 1-1 prob best. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:10 AM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle Yes, but you want to minimize the chance by using posters like this.
I agree with the critiques of you as a mod. They arguably also apply to me; I think posters who have proven to be stable (rather than who have been demonstrably shticky or unstable) are best. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:12 AM Author: Provocative sienna travel guidebook site I have been stably WGWAG from the beginning, awwww yeah!

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:26 AM Author: Supple Windowlicker oh my b. but it was a general thought anyway. a lot of upstanding, well-regarded poasters would relent in that situation. you need people who are stubbornly principled and don't mix xo with IRL. earl is an exception here because he is a lovable dick who doesn't let his IRL relationships colour his xo actions (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27600765) |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:16 AM Author: Doobsian Insecure National How do you deal with tracking the "deletions" as opposed to the garbage board?
So lets say Benzo decides to out someone or kenny posts some fucking bullshit movie spoiler.
Part of the point of moderation is to remove that content completely. If people can see what was removed, that defeats the purpose of modding with respect to outing, and spoilers to a lesser extent. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:21 AM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle This seems right (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27600743) |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:38 AM Author: Doobsian Insecure National Think about it. Posting spoilers keeps people away from the board and harms the board. Same as outing and unreasonable span. It serves no purpose other than to make people avoid the board.

|

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:03 AM Author: soul-stirring cuck sweet tailpipe so, tv watchers see the tv spoilers as the 3nd biggest threat to the boart after outing and excessive spamming? i guess i just dont gaf, and i didnt even know this was an issue until a few weeks ago.

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:32 AM Author: Doobsian Insecure National because n-threading can be funny, it can be shocking, or it can convey speech for some people. The context and the content matters, but the only people who will be driven away from the board are the sensitive people who are easily offended - and xo is not really for them.
spoilers serve no purpose whatsoever other than to take something with is enjoyable to a large number of people, and ruin it for them. It's not trolling, its not expressing an opinion or trying to be funny or creative. its griefing, and that is bullshit. And mods in part try to protect the community - which is why outing is not allowed. anonymity and the ability to be offensive and offended is cherished here. deleting spoilers and banning griefers who are being intentional shitheads protects the community. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:36 AM Author: spectacular pistol There were pretty good girl and minority posters that have been driven away. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27601241) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:40 AM Author: Doobsian Insecure National xo is not a safe space where you cant get your feelings hurt. but it should be safe from people trying to affect your IRL.
n-threading can hurt feelings, but I think of posting movie spoilers as more akin to emailing a some girl barzini wants to date and telling her he posted about her online. It's not outing and getting him fired, but its grieving bullshit for the sake of being a dick.
I also think posting porn in threads advertising fluffy puppies is usually okay to delete to since this is intended to get you pwn3d at work. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 12:02 PM Author: soul-stirring cuck sweet tailpipe i would agree that "tubgirling" (or poasting gay porn links as puppies) is bad. perhaps worse than tv spoilers. i dont personally care about nsfw. but other people do. but then where do we draw the line. does anything nsfw need to be labeled as such? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27602436) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 12:03 PM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle Rudolph thought so. I don't. I think if you make a thread that says "Pic of hot chick with huge tits" people should know there's a risk. On the other hand, if there's an option for mods to label a thread or post NSFW without deleting it, that could solve some of these problems, too.

Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:42 AM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle I don't know about the minority posters, but women arguably are, or at least perceive themselves to be, at a higher risk from outers/spammers.

I had limited information and I was trying to stop some kind of malicious actor on the site. I don't remember how I developed my theory that it was him, but it had something to do with something he posted once long ago, and I made a leap of faith connecting him with a pumo. It turned out that I was wrong about it and I felt like an idiot for wasting his dad's time. Anyway, that was another example of me connecting dots in the wrong way with limited data.

And to prove that I am not unreasonably anti-modding, I believe I was the original proponent of expanding the law of the land to include deleting threads with spoiler titles. The particular thread was titled with a Watchmen spoiler (lol), and Earl participated in it. I think at the time, Earl was against modding spoilers. |

Also, think about how messed up it is to censor someone's replies to your own in a message chain. It's a one-sided argument.
This is why I think a system of checks and balances could work nicely, too.
I'm bothered by this. Thanks for the heads up. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:14 PM Author: Doobsian Insecure National Personally I dont think describing a voice needs modding, but whatever.
I do think some discretion is needed when it comes to dealing with shitheads who are trolling and what content is being moderated.
For instance, lets say I write a parody song about RSF's dad being a shitlaw king making money off of burnt human flesh. While this is not outing, this is exposing (or at least repeating) some off board IRL information that maybe he did not want known. It could also help an ape detective out him. However the context of the post had nothing to do with outing and the content itself had some value.
Contrast this with Benzo, who is not creative at all, but who instead copies and pastes the same shit for the sole purpose of testing limits to be an annoying asshole. There is no content there. I think Benzo should be given less leeway when he is doing this - however the general rules should still apply. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:19 PM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle Re your first example, Mountain Dood started a thread about stuff like that, kind of half-outing information: http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844735&forum_id=2
This is the sort of thing that absolutely requires discretion and when the information came from a voicemail sent to the site's administrator, I think it should not be fair game. I guess I can see how Benzo's post might not have gone quite far enough, but people should be able to feel safe contacting Rach about being outed on the board. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:21 PM Author: dead stirring station I agree that people should feel safe to contact Rach, but in this particular instance, Rach is the one who acted inappropriately. It's not the right or duty of the mods to make right all of Rach's fuckups. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27602957) |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:23 PM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle When you say it that way it makes it sound as though I was protecting Rach. But I wasn't; I was protecting TSwift. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27602966) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:26 PM Author: dead stirring station Protecting others from Rach's fuckups.
If the product of Rach's fuckup is outable information, mods can and should take action. If, however, it's simply someone's hurt feelings or pride, that sucks, but it is not the place for mods to try and make it right. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:34 PM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle I don't really agree with this. I think Rach will make mistakes and we should have flexible policies for minimizing harm in those cases. We already treat Rach differently than other posters in that he's given the discretion to out certain people. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844632&forum_id=2#27603049) |

WTF |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:19 PM Author: dead stirring station The issue with the amount of leeway given to particular poasters will mostly take care of itself. Likeable poasters will always be allowed more discretion by good faith mods compared to the shitheads, and if a likeable poaster says something that turns out in retrospect to violate the Law of the Land, it can be cleaned up then.
Of course, this assumes Rach won't make horrible choices in who he appoints as mods, which given his track record over the last couple years, cannot be assumed. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:29 PM Author: Doobsian Insecure National I think twist is a bit too invested but I guess we'll see.
Another thing I am curious about is whether punitive temporary bans are okay. Lets say PN shows up and spams someones name 50 times. Is it okay to delete the rest of his non spam stuff for a day or two while you wait for rach to ban him?
It's always weird to see PN complain that his one non outing post gets deleted after spending 4 hours spamming the board with outing shit. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 1:35 PM Author: Kink-friendly Galvanic Wrinkle Yeah, I don't think I'm a great choice for a mod.
