Make April 1 a moderation free day on the OT

[Alexander's Horse]

I would just like to see what would happen. Could be fun

Obviously it would still be possible for an administrator to intervene if someone was doing something damaging to the site.

What do you think?

HA HA HA HA HA!
Dream on AH

Oh, and by the way. This has been moved to the Apoltyon forum where it belongs.
So look for it there!

Good idea !
It would be a good opportunity for us, the anti-spammers, to totally hack down the evil spammers *GRIN*

we actually do have moderation free days
there are actually some days(of the year!) that ming doesnt have to do a thing

[Ming]

And there are even some days where I NEVER even look into Apolyton

[Alexander's Horse]

Yeah well it is a well intentioned suggestion - give people a chance to let off steam. Like university muck up days and such.

If you ever get the urge to let off some steam... Just visit ACOL, or any of the other "less" moderated sites. They would just love your support.

Would you like me and others to post elsewhere Ming?

Isn't what Ming does now "intervene only if necessary" anyway? Well, supposedly at least

[DanQ]

Having April 1st as a Moderation-Free day in the OT, eh? That would be a perfect April Fool's joke.

OK? OK.

Glad we could come to an agreement.

Hey Dan, I think you've hit on something - declare a moderation free day for April 1, let it run for say 12 hours and then ban everyone who breaks the rules in that time

AH....that's just mean...I like it!

[ghen]

Thing is, people would be testing the boundries for a couple hours.. noone would know what to do since we've been in the iron grip of moderation for such a long time... But for AH's idea, don't say 12 hours, make it an unspecified time

[War4ever]

then Ming hands out all the suspensions

[Mercator]

This wasn't such as safe proposal... Perhaps you gave the moderators a good idea:

1. They'll announce April 1st will not be moderated, and then they do, and everyone who's posted crap will be banned... And Ming can finally have a vacation, with all potential spammers out.
2. They don't moderate, but only say it the next day.

Either way, you won't benefit from it. , Oh wait, I'm a poster myself ...
