--- Quote from: Zeyneb on September 11, 2022, 03:02:53 pm ---Yeah, I agree. A poll where Dave suggests the Off-Topic Project section a show and tell for things like car/home renovation. Where no politics, religion and weaponry is allowed. EDIT: I do actually think the "What did you buy today? Post your latest purchase!" thread is a good example for the Off-Topic Project section. --- End quote --- I was thinking of what sections would be nice to have next to cooking. To allow for something like a "coworker harassing you" or "how to start your own company" maybe a "Life advice" section. Furthermore indeed something for house and or car renovation. And a toys section to post about your train set or other construction toys. Just to name some. |

I as a moderator would mark that complainer and moderate that subset if it appears. 2. I as a moderator would kick a fragile public butt of that big ego, if necessary. Being public is not changing anything but putting shy voices down and revealing bad actions, all others are more or less inside a readers head. Shy voices are always unfortunate, you'll never learn their adventures. I'm also talking from this sub forum perspective, newbies and kids must be dealt differently. Any kind of moderation is fast if it is present. Community moderation means that actual moderators are not present until they are summoned. If reporting is the method then everything else is secondary. True moderation, where leveling the mood is the goal, is also person first, content second. It's also very very time consuming. |

I think some meaning was lost as you tried for a clever and colorful wording. What do you mean by "mark" the complainer, and what "subset" are yo referring to? Whose butt and ego are you talking about -- the ones of a person who made a questionable post, or of a person who reported a post, or yet someone else's? |

Wait, there is one already at the bottom, why can't you go there? ::) There is no point having sections without content, and there are already a few that are basically dead and could be nuked with no loss to anyone and actually with an increase in exposure for the few unfortunate souls that start their threads there. By the way, aren't you guys busy writing the new TEA constitution, which by the way appears to be the most active threads in its corresponding section? :-DD |

Well that new section might soon be closed again. Just read "Emptiness" and you will see. The name of the other one indicated a possible "constitution", but upon reading the thread you would see that the name is ill chosen and "rules of conduct" might be better. There is good behavior advice in it, if I say so myself. And why is that section left almost empty, just because the current TEA thread users are happy where it is now. I guess that the cooking section was also frowned upon at first and now it has reasonable activity, so why not other sections for interests besides electronics. |
