Never said we couldn't though, so i'm not sure where you're getting that from.

What is wrong with you today? There isn't 1 of you right now. There are at least three, although I don't really know because I stopped counting. She said "We still need help". I said, "No, you don't (because there are at least three of you)" |

Nothing's wrong with me, i'm just confused about your responses because they're not making sense. You told her to say, "I don't need help" which in turn seemed to mean, "I can do this on my own". And yes, there are three. Congrats, you can count. As for needing more help, i'd say we do. Again, it's your personal opinion. As for what xyz said, yes I did. And nowhere did she mention that we can't get along with others.
I think you're attempting to scrutinize the bolded, so let me clarify for you because it seems you're still missing the point: mods hating each other =/= inability to work with someone we didn't initially get along with. Because the simple fact is that if we didn't get along with someone before they became a mod, we would have to now if we want to get anything done. Which brings me back to the cohesiveness point. |

Does the forum need janitors perhaps? People who can only delete or make posts 'invisible' pending for mods to make a verdict on them at a later date? Or doesn't zetaboards have that option? |

We have an option that can make it so that the registered's posts need to get approved by a mod. We wouldn't want to enforce that even if we could apply it to anons as well though, as odious as it gets sometimes. So far we've (more like I) had to rely on it once, under fishy circumstances. |

Mod A says: We do this Mod B says: We do that What happens? I see two variants: 1) Each of them goes and makes their own thing = mess. 2) They try to convince each other, find middle ground and then act on what they agreed on. Situation 2 is what's happening right now, so I'm not sure what kind of alternative you want. I saw you mentioned possible voting in following posts but it's simply not in option in a lot of situations that contain private info. There are also dozens of smaller decisions to be made every day that would be highly impractical to vote on. They involve routine and measures that should be taken or not within existing system. Every major change ends up in Forum Discussions. You don't need more mods to ignite those discussions. You have that kind of power yourself as a regular user here. You are somehow convinced that all current mods are alike. I personally disagree with most of them all the time. In fact the mod I personally agreed with the most was Frost and she's gone now. I had major argument with Abc who have been a friend of mine long before SNSD even existed. We barely talked for a while because of it. I see other girls disagreeing with each other all the time. Situations where someone says 'lets do it' and everyone goes 'ok' are about as rare as 'never'. All decisions take a while and sometimes it feels like people in the mod room are too different to make things happen. What is there though is human sympathy and mutual respect that helps everyone to be patient and listen to each other. That's why things happen. Whenever new mod is picked, you hope it's someone you know to be adequate. It's only natural for mods to feel the same way, especially with this extra weight of responsibility they carry. It's not only a matter of comfort but security too. It's nice to know someone won't have an anger fit and turn destructive. I'm sure that when Frost and Orange were chosen Ihla and Abc felt relieved. Not because they expected agreement on everything (if you knew these people better, you wouldn't expect that) but simply because they knew they could count of these girls' adequacy. Still being glad something happened and making that thing happen are two different things. Mods could have a natural preference but it doesn't mean they'd be willing to pay a price of going dictators to achieve just that. Do they even have to? If majority of this forum shows trust and support for a candidate, chances are current mods will feel similar way too. Once this new person is in, she'd see more reasoning behind things mods do, face some difficult choices they have to make, get to understand and relate to them more, learn to find common language. You'd be effectively back to Situation 2, unless this new person's only goal is trouble. You are trying to make it look like current mods are being clique-y and not letting alternative thinking mods on the team. But where are the ones trying to get in? So far Arti has been the only one to volunteer and she simply didn't have majority vote behind her. Do you expect current mods to go out, find someone who hates them and put her on the team against majority's will? Now if they do it I hope they all resign because it would be an obvious fail of sanity test or intentional sabotage of this forum. And by the way, you are not any more important than any of the mods here. Yes it's true that they are here to serve the interests of this forum's users. The opinion of majority will always be a deciding factor here. You personally are not majority though and each of these mods is this forum's user just like you. They do not have any less rights or value than you. They do not owe you anything personally neither they are to be looked down upon. This is one of very rare forums where discussions like the ones happening here are allowed, so you are always welcome with you opinions, including negative / critical ones. But consider giving your attitude another look. This is my last reply to you on the issue, at least for today. We all really want to be understood by users here and we try to explain and clarify things as much as we can, but you are here to feed your ego before anything else and going in circles with you is becoming quite a waste. |

If you mean facebook-like system it could be done but it would be something only registered users can use, so I'm not sure it would be representative on forum like ours. Making it available for anons would go against the way the forum typically works, and even if we do achieve such possibility, there will be a lot of space for abuse, which will once again render it somewhat useless. I kind of miss the times messages like x2 were not this popular. |

da THIS. I don't get the point of x2-xN if they aren't saying anything else, fucking waste of post space if you ask me. About the same value a post containing some random emoticon so like 0. Is it so hard to say WHY you are x2 aka agreeing with the post? People being that fucking lazy kind of bothers me because its a forum not a chat room. Reason why I was all for the anons up vote suggestion. But I don't get the comment of space for abuse? I would imagine the system would limit the upvote to one per person (or IP?). And unless upvoting will change something in the post like making it more noticeable one wonders if anyone would bother. How exactly would the possible abuse take form? I think this idea is very valid and if we can get rid of all the x2-xN, we'll be better for it. I'd rather read people's opinions even if they are completely retarded.

Letting anons upvote posts would mean that I could make an ugly comment, use a bunch of proxies to give it a significant number of upvotes and claim that there is quite a bunch of people thinking that way. We could start a wank or two over it. I could also go and twist the overall balance of upvotes in any way I please. For example there could be a post with 5 legit upvotes that would look like a popular opinion compared to posts with 0-2 upvotes. But if I go and make sure that other opinions around have 10 upvotes or more, it would look like an average opinion at best. You could say that a reasonably smart person would not take those votes seriously, but I've seen tests showing that people do get affected by numbers like this. You could have a person or two shaping out public opinion to look like they prefer it to look. It would be a bit useless at best and dangerous at worst and there is no existing solution that allows anons to vote that I know of. It means I'd have to invest many hours in making something that doesn't seem very useful. I maybe mistaken though, so feel free to correct me if I'm missing something. We can always voice out our concerns and ask people to respect each other a bit more here but then this problem is much bigger than this particular forum. Maybe we'll just have to accept that the world has changed. |

because they're so significant to the forum, right? having the same pic/gif quoted 10 times on the same page with no comment attached to it except x2, x3, x4 isn't annoying at all, right? |

I don't care for them either. You can ask people in the thread to tone it down, but making a rule about it will only create chaos. |

I personally don't mind the x2 comments, it's not really that different from writing an I agree/disagree comment, and people are not obligated to explain with they agree/disagree with another person's comments. ETA: Just to be clear, I don't really mind us having an upvote option, but it's almost certain that some people here, not to mention trolls + shit stirrers would abuse it. |

That shit sounds too fucking convoluted tbh and IDT upvotes would sway people so much. Like if you read a really stupid comment that makes you think DAFUQ and then you see 10 upvotes for it. What do you think" OMG maybe this person is right? or LOL We got 11 retards in this place? I think most would go with the second. Upvotes won't make shit more valid but just get rid of x2......... long ass chains that are becoming more common. Nothing more but I guess you are right and maybe this is just beyond the forum and the world has changed and too much work and all that shit. Meh.

Girls, I'm sorry to say this but this whole debate right now is a bit of waste. It's not like mods will be magically able to turn this system on once you convince everyone it's a good idea (and it definitely makes sense in a way). The question is not about idea being good. It's about it being worth the price. And the price for this one would be very high. I recall seeing an existing solution for this kind of functionality. It does work for registered users only. In fact a lot of features and modifications of ZB are registered user oriented - polls, chats, PM, all kinds of reputation systems. This makes sense if you think about it. Anonymous users are impossible to identify, it's very hard to store data their actions produce, and even if made possible a lot of functionality would be rendered useless by possibility of abuse. Developers just don't bother going in that direction. So as I said in my original answer, trying to make this work for anons would mean going against the principles this forum works on and that would mean countless hours spent on trying without any guarantee for success. I will not say that it's impossible with 100% confidence but I'm not sure I'm willing to spend all this time in hope to achieve something so little that can end up being abused. Once again, I do not think this idea is stupid or hopeless by itself. It's just too expensive for the little result it can possibly bring. x100500's are unfortunately the part of today's Internet culture. As much as I find them a sign of degradation personally, we just can't tell people how how to talk on an anonymous entertainment forum. It's definitely not a rule material. Doesn't mean you can't bitch about it from time to time. |
