Recent 'discussions' - heh - have led to several people suggesting that these forums would be a better place for some more moderation. In the sense of 'forum moderation', that is. A plain rule about no personal attacks (for instance), and clear measures taken to enforce it, like warnings, post deletions, suspensions.
I didn't know Twilight, am curious as to which method he used for moving lines, Trojan.
I do usually go from 1st line up, and there are more in- depth methods to use. I don't care for the methods that involve only reading 1 or 2 of the moving lines.
It's interesting though that someone named Twilight was controversial, and finally asked to be removed from here, because in another forum with astrology students, a person calling himself Twilight became controversial, and finally left again of his own volition.
Hilary,
The difference of a 'flag' button, that it is public as well as being anonymous, is important I think (you asked, I'm too lazy to quote you). Because it serves as 'public notice'; it therefore is designed to assist the 'offender' away from evidently unacceptable behavior without being offended in turn by the 'offendee'. This amounts to self-policing; i.e., the offender has feedback on their behavior which they may or may not choose to respond to, and the community has a mechanism for shunning or addressing the offense, or for disregarding the flag altogether if it is evidently 'false'.
The above scenario would involve very little extra effort on your part, assuming the software would allow it.
A work-around for the moment would be for you to be able to somehow publicly flag any reported posts without acting in any way to pass judgment - you're just passing information along.
Anyway, that's the importance of the public and anonymous indicator IMO.
thanks, be well,
J.
Hilary whatever this flagging system turns out to be for goodness sake make it simple or Bamboo and I will never figure out how to use it
