Title: Announcement: Dubcc 'Detox' Phase 2 (forum moderation improvements)
Post by: Don Seer on October 09, 2008, 01:49:41 AM
So here goes part 2 of the forum detox..


1) thanks to improvements in the forum software our super-mods (jome and nima) now have the ability to view user IPs AND ban users properly
    (there are 3 global mods outside that.. adon, conan and siavish (little girl)

2) there is now a moderator's lounge accessible by moderators only.. if you're a mod and cant get in there, pm me.

3) i've reviewed and removed mods who seem inactive as users, let alone mods.

4) potential new mods as suggested by dubcnn staff are being approached.. but if you feel theres something  you can do apply to me AND rud

:)

Cool, I do think this should've been done a long time ago though.

on what grounds can they ban people on? coz you know some people on here are more emotional then a 13 year old girl. i´m guessing their not gonna ban the serious posters left and right but more the spammers and the people that make the same threads 100 times(Spider´s fans maybe?).

exactly..

everything is traceable.. so "un-just" bannings/deletions can be reviewed..

people often throw incorrect accusations at mods when they think it was one over another etc..

in fact.. you have mail ;)

Of course serious or half-serious posters won't be banned.. spammers & repeated shit-starters will be the main priority.  :)

On a similar note, it's interesting to be able to see which people got aliases, and in so case, how many.. (Y'all know who you are, you can't hide!)

^hopefully those Spider Loc fans or whatever you wanna call them gets banned coz itīs mighty annoying to see 5-6 threads praising him for no apparant reason.

Post by: Don Seer on October 09, 2008, 07:29:49 AM
thing is.. thats not grounds for banning. but they could be merged to keep it all in one place if they're that similar.

with jome/nima as well as myself and Rud being able to spot dupe/alias accounts control is now much tighter.

if in doubt take it to the mod forum..

^ seems to be working well against the ipod spammers and the like :)

some mods already banded and made a post to highlight those kinds of problems..

I would like to become a mod, i've been on the board a long time and i'm on here quite a bit during the week and don't really have any beefs with anyone on here.  If you need more mods, I can help out if it is needed.

anyway, as i've said before, the west coast section needs at least one more active moderator, as it's the main section after all:

the only thing that´s hard with the west coast section is what to close and what not to close. and some people that might come across as spammers are indeed serious posters. and the amount of bitchassness that goes on is insane.

i think it's quite easy to see what's constructive and what's spam  ;)

what you consider spam may just be you being over zealous though..

SPAM is repeated new posts about OFF topic stuff


if a SINGLE west coast thread like the spider mixtape one or the Kaizer Soze one keeps getting bumped.. then if it goes on for a long time fair enough.. but the spider one has sunk.. and the soze one will too.. best thing to do is leave them alone and let them die.

true, but that's also subjective.

everyone that checks the west coast section often, knows that only a minority creates a lot of spam.

i think it's quite easy to see what's constructive and what's spam  ;)

but itīs a hard line coz thereīs a lot of threads about the same stuff but with small changes. like 2008 Something starting a thread about "Bishopīs publicty stunt" when he/she couldīve kept that shit in the original thread. so should i move it there or close or let it be? it can be a little hard to know what to do especially in the west coast section coz there seems to be waaaaay more bullshit threads here then in Outbound.

About time maybe now someone will merge all the threads about artists. People are making threads about the same artists every three minutes...

ok i think it's better if Seer or Jome answers that  ;)

but if it were up to me, i would either lock those topics or merge them with the first ones  ;)

anyway, i see what you're saying, it's definitely a tough job to monitor the west coast section since there's a lot of activity.

We got some young people in the game, getting overshadowed by all this 90s loving

I say its time to divide this.

Westcoast 2008 (or whatever year it will be)

& Westcoast Classic

Arguably I am not the first person to notice this but the search engine could use some oiling and tightening of a few screws. I did a search for "scarface" with search parameters; Most recent topic first & Outbound Connection. The search returned only showing bunch of threads from 2002. I am quite sure that there has been talk of Scarface after 2002.
