5115,
Points made but not politically correct - As explained earlier, some people are not good at expressing themselves when making a point. The post may sound offensive but nevertheless the person is trying to explain a point itself.
No good in expressing mean flames should be allowed?do you see any different between "dude,you may get a piggyback with proper tuning to squeeze up potential power of your ride" and "why you retard never think of upgrade to piggyback with some tuning"?
the discussion may go on but how sure are you flame created will not taken personally?
Yes, it would be difficult to know when threats will arise if flaming is allowed, hence the discussion of feasible solutions via moderation or forum software.
Tom told you that he will come out with a rating method by other users to determine spam/flame posts.
Regarding the "sexy/porn pic", I don't know if porn should be posted but a NSFW section is another thread/discussion by itself. IIRC we have a somewhat similar thread in general talk.
Yeah I would allow it, since there is a financial interest - advertisement money earned. Think 5 Star hotel hospitality. This money earned would ultimately benefit the members.
Lol..kindly pm Tom to open a porn site,i wonder what he will tell you.the RGP II thread initially was located at your shot section,since many of the pics were not coming from our members here but taken from other site or via bluetooth/pendrive from friends,i moved it to general talk which is more appropriate.the 1st post were clearly stated the R & R in the thread & so far we have not get any major issue over there.does this shows we care what generate views with minimum control (rules set in 1st post)?
some of the posts were deleted which is expected but nobody shouting why it were deleted as we do our job based on the rules.
Such threads are inevitable. The supra thread had 3k views in its 4 day lifespan. As mentioned earlier, flame baits = generate posts/views. Look at the positive posts that can be generated instead of the flames. Think about it, wouldn't the constructive comment make the unnecessary comments in the thread as immature ? - logical explanation of point whether politically correct or not VS rude comment. If the thread is "hotter" more views would be generated = more adverts viewed = more money ?.
To be exact,3.4k in 6 days & counting.the topic attract views (supra involved) or the flame itself?yes,constructive comments make other flames immature but the problem in the thread is the trend of replies and someone take it personally.
This thread (with your flame bait) has 8xx views only in 4 days as compare to supra thread,so do we need some "retard loser" or "wasted sperm" in our statement?or we just to admit that many just attracted on the name of the topic itself?
there are 98 posts in supra thread in 4 days,how many are constructive?there are 75 replies here in 4 days and points made without any statement like "you are suck"?do you really need a retard statement in your post to make other understand your point?
Since the moderation team is working on a voluntary basis, thus the discussion of forum software for self-moderation to aid the moderators.
Obviously you don't know we are volunteer at the 1st place thus you think we should monitor your so called "flame bait" to generate more "constructive post".Tom had told you regarding the rating method so what's this long winded?
Yes such postings would generate hate, only if some poster take it personally. Hence my idea in the long run, once rude comments are passe, constructive comments would be the choice for comments.
Do you mean we should just leave the rude comments & wait for constructive 1 come in?how many days the 2 threads were leave alone?thats why the thread closed when the trend make no-way.and it's obvious that replies of the supra owner & t/s of the other thread take those comment personally
I raised this up this issue as I believe strongly in the positive outcome of allowing threads to have flaming in the long run. The negatives (hate between members etc) is the price to pay to achieve higher quality of posts. If people are so self-conscious and worry that their post would be "popcorn material" then they shouldn't be posting in the first place.
do we need to be self-conscious for not posting something "bastard" or "you sucks"?well, we are moderator but you're not,we appreciate your comment and we will do our job accordingly
As for the thread you posted, I can't get a idea of the problem since the posts are deleted. Since this is the case, I would rather leave it as its settled.
So now the flame bait does not get what you wanted to bait?or the fact just shows the bait itself shouldn't occur before study on what he talking about?
Hence what I mentioned in a reply, my point being proven - my flame bait attracted your reply, hence the purpose of this thread in the first place.
My reply proof your flame bait and you ignore some of my comments because it's mine bait is unnecessary?how ironic is this?if you don't agree on the point i stated,just voice it out like i did.don't quote the point that only you feel sweet,this is not we called discussion
I guess Diablo covered it, anyways here's a screencap of it -
As you can see there is a reply/spam in blue at the top right of the comment. I don't think it works by a word filter basis but on a voting basis, once a comment has been clicked as spam over a certain number by other posters (self moderation), it will appear as "comment marked for spam" as per screencap.
we do have the report post function,how many of us bother to report?once users report the post/thread in zth,mod will follow up ASAP,we do our job based on rules set years ago.you may try how efficient we are in volunteer basis.
btw,if i personally don't like someone's replies and rate it spam,does the replies appear as spam?if yes,does it mean we can judge a post by our own preference but not rules or moderators?
Finally, no harm is done, we're are here to discuss whats best for the forums which will ultimately benefit everybody. Who cares about the grammar as long as the positive intention is there ?.
Yes,noted that the quality of questions get better as compare to day 1 & 2.you might get something in my point & i glad to have such changes.
