Forum feedbacks, suggestions and notices

Angelina

Joh I like the idea but will it work if a troll gets an account and write the first time after 90 days?

then the troll has shown great perseverance and will be rewarded for it, no seriously we can then still try to find out in a "classic" way who is a troll

Jen 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️ I've stirred up so much trouble

all good, as I said the idea is not bad 😃

Vanessa But I fear it would split our community,and make us look less friendly with new members,what would not be good...

right, and i already have the feeling that new members are viewed more sceptically than they were a year ago.

Joh

Angelina right, and i already have the feeling that new members are viewed more sceptically than they were a year ago.

This is the consequence of simply being found on the Internet.

Vanessa

Angelina then the troll has shown great perseverance and will be rewarded for it, no seriously we can then still try to find out in a "classic" way who is a troll

Some would wait,while spending time on another chastity forum,but,then,we would act the same with the few patient trolls.

Angelina i already have the feeling that new members are viewed more sceptically than they were a year ago.

Mainly because there was several trolls recently.

Angelina

Not the case,for now!😉

Angelina

Joh This is the consequence of simply being found on the Internet.

but it still should not destroy the reasonably friendly atmosphere of the forum 🙂

JonesMacGyver

Seeming unfriendly... That's why I think all Troll discussions need their own place, out of sight of the potential Troll. That way if we are wrong... (if their discussion is deleted) they won't know they tripped the Troll detectors.

Joh

JonesMacGyver
I support it for exactly this reason.

Angelina

JonesMacGyver

well, i still trust in our team of administrators, the forum has been kept very clean so far and i think it will stay clean in the future as well 🙂

Angelina

Vanessa Some would wait,while spending time on another chastity forum,but,then,we would act the same with the few patient trolls.

maybe they can count 90 days from the first post ? 😉

Vanessa Mainly because there was several trolls recently.

unfortunately yes, i hope it will not destroy the forum in the long run 🙁

Vanessa Not the case,for now!😉

I agree 🙂

Vanessa

Angelina maybe they can count 90 days from the first post ? 😉

I doubt they would wait without trolling anywhere.

Angelina unfortunately yes, i hope it will not destroy the forum in the long run 🙁

I hope too,even it there is a bit less new trolls who have registered.

Angelina

Vanessa I doubt they would wait without trolling anywhere.

You're probably right, but I still think it's a good idea.

Vanessa I hope too,even it there is a bit less new trolls who have registered.

It would at least relax a few discussions a little again 🙂

Vanessa

Angelina You're probably right, but I still think it's a good idea.

Yes,I think too it would maybe reduce a bit the trolls.

Angelina It would at least relax a few discussions a little again 🙂

Yes!🙂

Angelina the admins decide who has proven to be trustworthy 😉

It could work too.

Angelina

I haven't looked much at how flarum works about groups,but I guess it is possible,yes.

Joh

JonesMacGyver Yes some sort of closed group.

I still support this idea. It does not mean that we should change our behaviour. We can still be open-minded.

Angelina

Joh

the idea is good, but i have a problem with the automatism after 90 days. i would say we could do these closed threads and the admins decide who has proven to be trustworthy 😉

Joh

Angelina i would say we could do these closed threads and the admins decide who has proven to be trustworthy

Is also a good idea.

Angelina

Joh Is also a good idea.

then I ask @Laura if such a thing would be possible 😉

Angelina

Vanessa I haven't looked much at how flarum works about groups,but I guess it is possible,yes.

we have several IT specialists as admins, I think this can be realised 😉

Vanessa

Angelina

We must be sure it would not split too much the users before,however.

Angelina

Vanessa We must be sure it would not split too much the users before,however.

yes, a division into trusted and untrusted users can cause a split if a few users feel misunderstood.

JonesMacGyver

I think the entire forum should be divided into three areas. One that is visible to search engines, and prior to signing up. A second that is available after signing up, and lastly the final area after the user has been vetted. What that vetting process is: days after signing up or after X number of believable posts or TBD (To Be Determined).

Since these divisions would be totally unknown to the potential user, there would be no misunderstandings. In fact it would probably prevent misunderstandings as potential trolls would not see discussions about them (right or wrong), since those discussions should happen in the third area.

Joh

JonesMacGyver
I like you proposal.

Foxies

JonesMacGyver

An interesting proposal. However, it is a proposal that also incurs costs. The poor moderators (I assume they are volunteers) would have a considerable amount of additional work. Would they continue to volunteer for it?

Secondly, it would only be fair to ask if that additional work would really improve the form significantly? Would the additional cost of volunteer time be worth it? Having served on numerous volunteer committees during my professional life, I have often seen wild enthusiasm fade as the reality of the work starts to sink in. I don't mean to be negative since your comments are definitely worth considering however it is always important to understand that nothing in life is really for free.

Jen

JonesMacGyver One that is visible to search engines

Yes this. Crazy stuff is posted and search then links the forum to crazy stuff so more crazy is attracted.
Can search engines be limited to just some of the older threads or just a general blurb about this forum?

Angelina

JonesMacGyver

an interesting suggestion, i like it, but i'm worried that it can get mega complicated here, until now the forum was rather simple structured (which i always liked very much)

Foxies Would the additional cost of volunteer time be worth it?

we are setting up a donation account for the admins and mods 😉

JonesMacGyver The entire moderation team needs to be given a large raise (I vote for double the pay you are currently getting). You all do an excellent job.

double zero is unfortunately still zero, but I agree with you @Laura, @Ines and the others deserve a small donation 😉
