So TheGame will moderate...The Game?


hehe I won't be participating in that forum, just moderating. I am not interested in a dueling forum lol

More important by far, it seems to me, is a light hand in moderation allowing free flowing dialog.

The light hand will continue, but I feel a formal moderation process will be more needed with the influx of new members. I want to be prepared. I also don't want to be in a situation where I have to make judgement calls against certain people. People write me PMs all day on why I let certain people do this or that - and this is something I don't have time to deal with - especially when they don't listen to my advice of "just walk away".

Really, only a handful of people have caused me headaches recently, and it would be nice for me to be able to offload the responsibility of breaking up arguments and diffusing anger. Also, I've seen TheGame's moderation at work, and he is very very good. His performance is an A. In contrast, Currawong's moderation ranges from a D to F-, although I am sure is his hands are tied because he has to follow orders from his master.

Also, when the new forum starts, I am sure the habitual troublemakers who have already been banned from other forums will try to sneak their way in.

What's more important is keeping up with good content and leading the discussion. People like Hands, Ultrabike, Atomicbob will be able to help do this on the measurement end. Anaxilus, TheGunner, Clemmaster, Keanex, OJ, Nergura, Audiofrk, Bill-P (the list is really too long) will be able to fill us in on the subjective side of things. We have a lot of "discussion leaders"... all based on merit, not number of posts.

I just wanted to chime in because I know from just reading the posts about the donations and whatnot that the community might get bigger.

I don't think that should ever be an issue.  Fact is the core team is what facilitates the site and as we grow the core team will stay in tact.  Of course we will see a lot more new bodies but ultimately people come here for the quality of information.  That is the core of what most people on here represent.  Changstar has and always will be about quality of information and as long as that doesn't go away we everything will always be in tact.

There will be no science sub-forum. This is not science.

Fine. I'll have to establish the First Objectivist Church of Pretentious Wankery elsewhere then  :'(

My personal opinion :

But I'm a fascist

Oh you Frenchies, first sign of a revolution and you're all ready to polish the New Order's boots  :)p8

Shouldn't be a problem, it appears to be franchiseable. I'm sure there's somewhere with a low growth rate and poor street lighting that will accommodate. ;D

I changed my mind. We will have the "Internet Dueling and Sound Science" sub-forum. TheGame has declined to moderate that sub-forum, so it will go un-moderated. I myself will not be able to see that sub-forum's contents.

Good. Only those pure of heart and open of eyes will be gifted with the infinite wisdom of Science.
