Forum Discussion v5 - Imagine if you used Ignore List.

[QUOTE=DChapsfield;52935838]Hey mods, is it worth having a discussion about things like butre's avatar? I was trying to think of a way to voice my discomfort in an argument for adding to the av restrictions, but i realized, it's just me being uncomfortable about it and that doesn't warrant moderation. Given that it's been up for ages, I'm wondering if you guys have already talked about it and whether or not it'd be a good idea to talk about it.[/QUOTE]

It’s not NSFW. It’s fine.

Guys i just wanted an answer from a mod and Pascall graciously gave me just that, question answered, we don't need to continue with this. It was probably a less-than-great idea to bring it up to begin with so let's please not beat the horse any deader

[Chonch]

When the alert function is enabled, I assume it will no longer be bannable to call out users in threads they haven't posted in. Is that a fair assumption?

It will probably depend on context.

Stuff like "DEFEND THIS TUDD" would still probably be banned, but not posts that were more constructive in intent, such as "summoning JohnnyMo1" or "what is [user]'s opinion on [topic they are versed in]?"

[WingedTurtle]

My postcount says I've posted over 500 times, but I don't remember making anything close to that amount of posts. Any ideas? I searched around but couldn't find any information.

Did a little digging in your "recent posts" page. You seem to have been pretty active in 2012, with posting declining going into 2013.

post search is shit and not as good as thread search for some reason. case in point, your post history shows your last post being in 2011 whereas your thread history goes back way further, so yea I'd just chalk it up to you having actually posted that many times and the post search feature is just shit at showing it. once garry migrates everything over you'll have a way better search feature at your disposal, and you can look into it further then.

Speaking of bans, I'm not sure if it's been suggested but;
On newpunch, if we can fundraise a ban on someone with gold, can we fundraise someone being unbanned?

The fact THIS is still on the ticker after an hour as a mention is driving me fucking NUTS.

Also you guys should make it so if somebody reports a user, and that user gets banned, whoever reported them should get a coin. Would give people more of a reason to report, especially since the main reason people don't report is just laziness anyway.

I've never felt like clicking the report button which takes 1 millisecond has really been too much of a chore to bother with.

[TurboDweeb]

Browsing and posting nabs you coins, but there's a rate cap to discourage spamming, so what would be the limit on reports? If generally mods are sifting through at least one thread and a user's history for every ban, couldn't report spam become a real obstruction?

You would be surprised believe me. I can recount more than a few occasions where I've stumbled across the most egregious and terrible posts and spam threads, and they weren't in the reports even after several hours or replies. Let's face it, bribing people to do the right thing isn't really such a terrible idea in the long run. If you make a bogus report, when you get banned you'll get docked coins instead of earning them, which would prevent any concept of 'report spam'. I don't even know if a system is at all possible, but if you could implement it without much hassle I don't see why not.

i think you're overestimating how many actionable reports we get in a day. as long as the reports are good i don't see why it'd need any sort of limit to how much people can make from them. that sorta shit's a benefit to the entire forum. also aside from the obvious banning people that continually make dumb reports, we could also bring back the 'two reports to actually be sent on' rule if to cut back on bullshit ~if~ we really needed to.

also wow i was literally already in the process of writing up an idea for coin rewards for good reports when I saw this discussion already taking place lol get the fuck out of my head Banned User

tbh this makes me less willing to report people. Like obviously I get "I support the second amendment and believe in a flat tax rate" isn't really flaming or trolling or spam and how reporting that sort of post over and over might be bannable, but I've seen a lot of opinions, particularly in the last year or so, where being able to tell the difference between genuinely held belief and contrarian attempt to derail conversation is quite difficult.
