Moderation Questions

VideoPoker is a mod in NVG, amongst other places. NVG has a pretty low tolerance of posting on political topics and Luciom has a pretty high propensity to inject politics into everything would be my best guess.

ETA: Just checked and he's not a mod in NVG, so scrap that theory.

Well that's traffic down by about 30%.

Make that 90% less spam.
Take down the spambots

There is. It's a FAQ in the sitewide FAQ page. But it's very old and I think some colors have changed meaning since then. My best guess on color today is that red is for owners or super high up administrators; orange is for super moderators who overee all the green mods; blue is for admins who have mod powers plus other powers and do other types of staff/admin functions, but dont usually also act as primary mods for any particular forum, and then green mods who only can mod their designated forums.

jfc people love their stupid hierarchies so they can look up to some people and down on others (enjoying the sensation of power), even in a low volume internet forum.

Not enough IMO. We also need assistant moderators and assistants to the moderators.

Also a moderator team leader to authorise their holiday and sick days. And hold meetings. Lots of meetings.

We're going to have these status meetings on the hour, every hour, until we get to the bottom of why nothing is getting done.

The lack of a moderator team visionary (leader gives off power dynamic vibes, let's steer clear of that word) might be a blocker we haven't recognized, at our next stand up I'll mention that there's been some shaping of demand for one..

Bring it up at the next 2 +2 away day

I vote for d2 to lead the party planning committee

Depends. What's my booze budget?

1000 Sklansky bucks

You can buy streamers and a sheet cake.

I would love to, but I have no idea what those things are. I'm guessing it's what you get at a party in Canada.

I'm sure the whole 2+2 administration is relieved to hear that, the repercussions of a poster protesting another poster's ban would be felt for years to come.

Also, what's with you guys not being able to accurately reproduce a 6-letter word you see literally dozens of times each day? Doesn't seem like it should be too difficult.

I prefer the Latin spelling. Im old school like that.

1. You don't know how long the temp ban is.
2. You don't know if his ban was the result of a political post
3. You don't know if he posted something offensive and banworthy in a forum Videopro moderates.
4. Apparently, you don't know that posts that result in bans are generally removed.
5. The owners and Videopro will be relieved you don't intend to protest.

Any chance we could let this videopro guy mod the politics forum for a week or so?

Fine with me. I've made it clear that anyone who wants the baton can take it and I will happily fade to black.

I have got a 2 day ban because of OT in the trump thread which is kinda insane, given I was answering to a green name who kept interacting with the OT I didn't start (you).

I don't think an admin who doesn't moderate and has never posted in this forum should be banning people here.
