So, Robert Plomp is kind of a douche, eh?
This is, of course, a continuation of KH's thread that was ridiculously locked mere seconds ago...

YES!!

Should we make sure that our meaningless spam is signed and notarized?

Robert Plomp is massive douche. No one post anywhere but in this thread. :b:

For the record: all forum rules apply to this thread.
This thread will also be used to move meaningless spam from other serious off topic threads to.
Enjoy.

To be fair, Plomp is still less of a douche than Ming at this point. At least he's not deleting threads and posts and dumping them down the memory hole.
Just because he has a different vision on where Poly should go doesn't mean that he should be abused for it. While I don't agree with what he's doing its his to do with what he will.
Now, can we stop spamming the meaningless spam thread and get back to the Peanuts celebration? Thank you.

At least Ming didn't close threads about topics opened earlier because he didn't agree with them politically.
It's always the douche people with the least amount of authority that like to be the most authoritative. This is why people become school teachers, ordinance compliance officers, and gay civ site administrators. :angry: :b:

Also, what's the point of choosing moderators for the OT if you're going to moderate things yourself and set off an insurrection in the process?

QFT. Obviously they didn't matter (JM nor Lori would have done this).
Btw, new sig for me... and I'm sure I'm being stripped of mod powers sometime soon for it...
CyberShy, serious dude. I don't see this being a success unless you chill out a bit and keep the existing rules in place. Other wise a lot of people will just up and leave and poly will become a ghost town and I for one don't want to see it go the way of ACOL. So please assert your authority but keep the existing rules in place.

KH about made me puke in the other thread. :b:

If you want to go out in similar style google "lemon party".
That picture is no good. Does not work.

Your point is made KH.
You will be banned as soon as someone can.
Right now I am just having to delete posts.

If his point has been made, why isn't che's thread back? Do you guys not know how to unlock threads?

I do.
But the owner locked it... if it was Lori it would already be unlocked.

How many dicks have to be posted before Plomp realizes that he made a mistake?

I suspect posting dicks isn't going to be terribly convincing.

And protest boobs are a lot better protest then protest dicks.

No one minds protest boobs. That's why dicks are more effective. It really shocks the senses. :b:

The thread should be unlocked, you know this JM, I know this everyone does. CS is just driving away posters by postponing the inevitable.

I had a friend whose response to tubgirl was that there was interesting fluid dynamics.
Personally I mostly just 'not' see it.

Seriously, that chick must have put a hose up her rear or something because no one has that much fluid up their keyster.

I made a mistake by closing the wrong thread.
Fair enough that people complain about that.
People who think something like that is a reason to start spamming nude and gore pictures are not going to be a part of Apolyton if they continue to do so.
Oerdin and KrazyHorse are both banned for 24 hours now. (I finally found out how to do that (fingers crossed). JM should be able to ban people as well, btw.)
You're facing an uphill struggle. You would be better off leaving the OT and associated forums to it's own mods and focussing on improving the on topic fora.
Because right now all you are doing is undermining your own lackeys.

For the record, Jeroen, Jon Miller, Lorizael and me are the 4 mods of this forum.
Maybe more will follow.
Non seqeutur. It doesn't matter if you are a mod or not of this forum. What matters is if you are going to let the people you gave a job to to do that job. They've had 2 days to get used to it and you only just showed them how to ban people.
So give the mods some slack and let them deal with the situation. You should be in church instead of dealing with this sinful mess, I'm sure.
Jeroen is an absentee landlord. :bored:
I doubt he really even understands the culture of the OTF, so how could he really mods this forum? He can't.
Now apply the same principle to Mr. Plumpy...

I think all OT posters should be given full mod powers.
I think all OT posters should be given full mod powers.
I've frequently discussed my idea for this with some others here. If and when I make my own site, I plan on hacking vBulletin to have a communal moderation system. There will still be a head "moderator" for the forum, of course....but it'll mostly be a Slashdot comment/digg like system.
There would be a link on each post that other posters could flag as inappropriate, but instead of bringing up a form to email mommy it'd just keep track of how many people thought it was inappropriate. After a certain threshold (determined by an algorithm), it'd "minimize" that post with a warning as to its potential content. If it still gets even more, the post would be removed from the site pending the actual moderator action (approve/deny the post, essentially) even though that's probably not going to happen too much, stuff like TubGirl certainly would qualify for that.
The algorithm would also take into account posting history. If somebody frequently makes posts that are moderated out of the main thread view (as a rate, not volume), they'd have a shorter leash.
Long story short, the community dictates what is or is not acceptable and it doesn't require a mod to look at every post.

I recall one great site, Itshappening.com, that was basically self-moderating, and the system worked well.
Most posters can police themselves if given the freedom to...

Works for me. The only thing needed is some way of preventing dogpiling. I can easily see political differences getting translated into "inappropriate" flags, which would be disastrous for actual discussions. I'm not convinced that setting the threshold at a high level would be enough to avoid that.
But with some development and experimentation, this could be really cool. Every member of the community would feel (at least somewhat) invested in it, and anyone who couldn't live with the outcome would, naturally, leave. Problem solved.
:b:
The algorithm could be tweaked by hand. Posters who have a history of inappropriately flagging posts would have their input mean less. It wouldn't take too long to "calibrate" the system.

There's nothing wrong with the moderation system. It just so happens that their community is full of idiots.
