UPDATE: Report button

posted 8 years ago by jim (137)

I've been noticing a few trolls around here lately so I've added a report button at the bottom of each post. You can click the report button to alert our team of moderators (currently just me) of any suspicious activity. (Note: I'll be making a separate post about moderator recruitment shortly.)

There are currently no hard and fast rules on what can/can't be said, so just use common sense. As I've said before, I strongly believe in free speech and want to encourage discussion in any and all forms. Thus, please only use the report button sparingly in cases of clear and obvious trolls.

I've also added a "jump to latest reply" button at the top of each post. Sometimes when there are lots of nested replies, it can be difficult to find the latest reply. By clicking this handy button, you can jump straight to the latest reply in a thread.

More updates on the way!

Jim

Please don't make moderators. They have ruined IMDb2 and they will ruin this place too.

[–] Apis (1624) 8 years ago

Maybe they picked the wrong guys to be moderators, like site owner's friends. Nepotism is what probably ruined that site.

Common sense is the way for the boards.

[–] God (311) 8 years ago

or maybe automated moderation. like if a post gets 10-20 unique ip reports, then delete that post.

PS: Jim: can we report your posts....for FANTASTIC - NESS ? ? ?

Moderators of imdb2 proboards are abusing power. We don't want to see something similar here. Their friends get them to delete people they don't like or agree with. IMDb was great because the moderation was automated

no human moderation is always a bad idea.

[–] Cookie.L.A. (2117) 8 years ago

I've found that the word "always" doesn't often neatly fit into human life...

AND you forget, we have God (ie, you) on our side.

All messageboards with human moderation have draconian class room like environment.

[–] violet (6) 8 years ago

Very true. It's why I loved IMDB boards so much. Are you on any other boards that are not human moderated?

Seriously, just take a live example of what i am talking about. Register at imdb2 proboard and say something about hindus for example. one of the moderators there is a hindu and he banned me for criticizing hinduism lol

his name is Aj_June

<< Register at imdb2 proboard and... >>

Why, I wouldn't go to that filthy outpost of #%@#&*s for . . . Listen, the only place I want to see them is on a softball field or a bowling lane, where we teach those beastly little upstarts a lesson once and for ALL!

[–] God (311) 8 years ago

That's good. Everyone should abandon that place and come here. It is like 100 people there anyhow

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

Aces, Jim!

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 8 years ago

I think if moderators are added here, posts that are flagged should be reviewed by three separate moderators to see if they all agree that's it's offensive or a troll post.

[–] God (311) 8 years ago

Still not good. Human moderation is always biased.

[–] LeiaOfLothlorien (1980) 8 years ago

That's actually a good idea. And if there is a discrepancy, have more look at it. Depending on how many mods there are, anyway.

[–] Apis (1624) 8 years ago

Nobody wrote this so I will:

We have Lansbury, folks!

Lol... someone had to say it. Great job, Jim 👍

[–] Cookie.L.A. (2117) 8 years ago

hahaha!

[–] DreamersxDisease (817) 8 years ago

Yes! Haha!

“As I've said before, I strongly believe in free speech and want to encourage discussion in any and all forms.”

Good deal Jim, I'm glad to hear this. I was beginning to grow concerned for some of the calls that I've seen already for heavy moderation. I think that the block/ignore features, combined with the report post feature for really over the top type posts, is the way to go, and one thing that I thought that IMDB got right.

The "jump to latest reply" button is awesome!

Thanks!

[–] God (311) 8 years ago

Heavy moderation will end this site. IMDb2 is doing heavy moderation and its losing users real quick
