A Theory of Moderation

This is an article about the community philosophy Stack Overflow's creators hold. That site and all of its sister site operate under these ideas, and they're wildly successful.

A nice read for anyone, and I'm interested to see how these principles could apply to our community.

interesting approach

Good idea, we should use this for these forums. I realise we don't have a rep system so lets just use postcount instead

[knorke]

mods are sleeping.

Would at the very least be fun the see election results, nvm the hilarious fail when shit hits the fan afterwards :)

hmmm, my postcount suggests Im that powerful that I edited your post, then edited my own history to prevent me remembering

postcount++

Maybe getting moderation so far when you got 50000 members, for spring I dunno. ^^

We're kind of tied into a system that works based on what the forum/lobby-software is capable of. I've had many similar ideas to what is being discussed here, but PHPBB just doesn't do much of that kind of stuff.

Im sure you can shove a little JS to insert an up and down vote button and an indicator, linked to a side script. Sure it wouldnt be integrated into phpbb itself, but it would be an indicator

If you implement a Karma system like YouTube then ima splode.

karma system here would be trolled superhard

[smoth]

truthfully, I used to have as much negative karma as postive. Often just 2-3 positive above negative but probably the highest score for that community.

people love to hate to love me.

Wouldn't work here, most of the most well known and experienced content creators are raving lunatics like myself

Any sane approach is phailing hard when meeting the insane rand-generator that is the heads of artists. Imagine a overdramatic borderlinen Theateractor and a logic, Mr.Spock Programmer meeting on a Party. This cant end well, so the only logic - is apharteid of minds (ignorelist/diffrent sub-groups/smurfsurfin) and have a neutral group, that watches that nobody in the apezoe climbs over its ragecagerods.
