How many reported posts/moderated posts/infraction points do you have?

[bullmoose88]

The notion that reporting posts is somehow whiny or equivalent to telling on someone is a bit strange to me.

Its sorta like being in grade school again.  At times, there are some legitimate gripes (bullying etc) which need to be addressed and at others you have a whiny little kid who's going to complain to the teacher everytime someone offends him/her.  It seems lately we have a lot more of the latter than the former.

6-2-0. One of them was an inappropriate work-around of the filter on a particularly derogatory word and I think the other one was a link to an auto-felatio site that for some reason Alcon didn't approve of.

Turns out it was neither of these (although I definitely got a warning from Leip on the first one but I guess it was so long ago that it's not in The System). Both of these moderated ones were usage of the ever evil word that begins with the letter F and apparently that word makes Lunar uncomfortable. But he was kind enough to modify the post in such a way to keep my intentions clear. He's still a little bitch though.

Zero of all.

I suppose that's "reported since day x"?

[opebo]

Zero of all.

No, you're just a milquetoast.

Yeah well, both.

I know of reported - even moderated - posts from way way back, so...

Notice the extremely high reported-to-moderated ratio.

PS: There was an error in my previous statement.  I said my rate was 3,0,0.  It turns out that it was 4, 1, 0.  We regret the error.

I couldn't find Mikado's report in  my search, but I did find this unsuccessful  one against yours truly, haha, I forgot about that.  This is why I have 8 reports!

character defamation

No.  I could, but it's a policy of mine not to meet people I meet online.  Sorry, Meeker.

I'm pretty sure Meeker is a rapist anyway, and not in the good sense of the word

I have no idea. I think I may have taken one hit when I called Hoffman a dumb son of a bitch, but that's about it.

Yeah the entire point of this thread is that your profile now contains that info!

Is it possible to find which of my posts were reported, but not acted on?

Here's the one I did of you:

Dave, you need to see this.  (Also, you can infract Lunar for it)

Worth noting that reporting a post on the mod board is the quickest way to make Dave see something.  This technique I learned from this report here...

Reporting to bring it to Dave\'s attention.  (p.s. you can give Mikado an infraction just for giggles if you want)

[Lunar]

No, I know that one Micky M., I meant the one where you got an  infraction.

Y'all are paranoid enough already, nope!

Oh. So it does. I just checked, because I had no clue.

9:2:0. Not that bad, considering.

Reports that aren't acted upon don't count against you in any way.  Why would you need to know those?

Really ? How the hell did you get that ?

If there is a real reason for it....a "goatse" image, some extra mean comment....personal information posted, I don't know...that's probably about it.  But complaining that somebody dropped an F-bomb or told a dirty joke is whiny.

How do punishments work even? Is a certain number of infraction points necessary for being put on mod review or being banned from the forum or something?

[fezzyfestoon]

Haha so my moderated ones were calling BRTD a moron for opposing Puerto Rican statehood under the circumstances that they vote Republican and for deriding the Catholic church for its sex scandals.  A personal attack and trolling.  If those were my worst, then I can only imagine how stupid the other two must be.  All definitely "whiny" and "telling on" me.

(Is that against the rules to tell?)

[Lunar]

Fezzy, it's certainly not against the rules.  It's important to remember that all infractions prior to Monday earlier this week no longer "count" too.  I'm hoping we get a more rational & reasonable system going forward, although I'm worried that posters are going to trip out about insignificant judgments calls we make that don't actually impact the trajectory a poster is on.  Really, at any given time, there are only one to three posters at serious risk for mod review, and only one poster at risk for banning ... and it really isn't a surprise who those people are.  The idea that any poster who's been established here for years is secretly at risk for a poke in the thigh, let alone mod review, is kind of laughable ... I mean, I think we have one or two moderators who would get mod review before Mechaman or Opebo do [despite their claims].

I'm thinking we should have done things as fractions instead of expanding the "points" people get, to avoid alarm.  Because, like, "two points" sounds awfully bad, but it's actually the second least amount we can give.  I'd have preferred the system give like "0.1" points instead of "1 point" just so people can keep things in perspective.

How do punishments work even? Is a certain number of infraction points necessary for being put on mod review or being banned from the forum or something?

Yeah, something like that, the numbers haven't actually been created.  So, I think you can get ten thousand points and nothing will happen automatically [yet].  There will be an announcement in Dave's thread on the Atlas Board when something is actually developed.


I'm really not sure what the ideal amounts should be, now that two reports of invasive privacy attacks or harassment can get you 20 points, the same amount as 20 minor ones.


If you have any input on this, by the way, use Dave's thread on the Atlas Board.  I think he's very likely to read it and, regardless, I promise me & other mods will, and I will take good ideas and advocate for them.
