Moderation: Initiated
Oct 29, 2003 by derek

Alright Yall, while it is really funny for me to read the flaming going on around here, I've decided to initiate some moderation. I'm going to test it on the Picture comments for now and see how it goes.

First of all, I am not encouraging everyone to just say, "Aw man, sick pic" or whatever. If you have something negative to say, then say it! Just don't say it in a "flamboyant manner" i.e. don't get incredibly pissed off and cuss someone out because their hat is on the wrong way or some other lame reason (some of you get pretty creative with reasons to get pissed, hehe). If you see that the picture needs improvement, help the guy out! Forizzle!

Here is something that I commonly see on the site: "WTF! That is the worst f****ng grind I have ever seen! Why do you even bother to submit sh** to the site!? You need to go die!" ...ummm, yeah... Instead, why not something like: "Awww come on, bro. I know you can hit something better than that. Try stepping it up a bit."

Anyway, I have added a little flame icon () next to each comment for the administrators. If we see something that is flamboyant, we can click the icon and your comment gets marked and hidden.

Please help us out and chill out a bit. The site is here for you all to enjoy, not to hate.
Peace.

slashdot slowly invades solidgrind...sooner or later well be seeing mod up parent comments...i feel like a geek now

actually, come to think of it, maybe a slashdot esque system would be better, then people could choose to see the flames or no. Like as an option to a user, read flame marked posts or hide flame marked posts, i dunno how hard it would be to implement, but it would be cool

brooksfsw.com and broox.com both had that feature.

Yeah, but what if you set it so that, by default, the flame posts would be hidden?

I think its a good idea, but only if the power is used responsibly

Oct 29, 2003 derek

yep. I am considering implementing that again..

Half of it lies with the authors anyway; if dodgy pics weren't featured then most of the hate would get cut
