Downvote stalking and excessive downvoting     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4 years ago

123 comments

I can understand not liking someone and downvoting them when you see a post. But when you stalk someone's account to downvote every comment they've ever made and will make, that is when I have a problem with it. There will be no rules or guidelines, if I feel you are abusing the downvote button, I will reverse every downvote you've ever made. Plain and simple. If you feel like you have a downvote stalker, PM me. If that turns out to be the case I will fix the problem ASAP. Already reversed the votes of one account, so if you have extra votes this morning that might be why. Also worth mentioning I removed the 10/10 voting limit. I know that seems counter-intuitive, but I received a lot of complaints and tbh I am not a fan of it myself, so we'll try this out instead.

You can now sort topics by last replied     (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 4 years ago

28 comments

This is similar to message board's bump feature. I thought it would be nice to have this option to stir up more conversation. There is also now a 'last comment' link which will show you a post's last comment. I replaced 'top' with the 'last replied' button in the navigation bar. If you want to see top posts you can get there from the side bar.

You can now only upvote a user 20 times a day     (TalkDev)

This has applied to downvotes, but it makes sense to apply to upvotes as well to prevent upvote brigades. You get 10 upvotes for submissions and 10 for comments per user per 24 hours.

Should moderators have full rights to do what they want with a subverse?     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4 years ago

166 comments

We all know @itsgettingcloser likes to delete comments in his subverse. Personally, I view user created subverses as a private space where the owner can dictate how it's ran. You can block him, and his subverses and not be bothered by it. But there are others who believe sub owners should not have this power, which I understand. Curious what the community thinks about this. Should there be a balance of power? Or should sub owners have full authority? Like I've said recently to someone else, on these types of sites, I view going into /all as the wild west, where you are not guaranteed a safe space, or anything really. The difference is these sites don't default to /all, like this site does, and instead either show you your subscriptions or show you the default subs, which enforces this images of user created subverses being 'separate' from the main site. What are your thoughts on this issue?

Edit: I've decided to leave as is. If you don't like a user or a sub then simply block them. Create your own sub. This way leads to the least intervention on my part. I will probably switch the default view to /front, which display default subs, or your subscriptions. Curate your own content. There is already an option available if you prefer /all.

More transparency for posts deleted by a mods/admins     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4 years ago

6 comments

Hi all. It's come to my attention that the site is lacking when it comes to removed content. So I've implemented some changes to make things more transparent. First off, content deleted by a mod or admin will now remain in your profile. Mods/admins must now supply a reason for why the content was removed, which will now display in the deleted posts page. You will also receive a message in your inbox telling you why the content was removed, from where, and by who. These changes are not retroactive and only apply from here on out. It's also worth noting there was a bug with deleting comments, where if a mod tried to delete a reply to a comment, it would instead delete the original base comment, so some comments might have been mistakenly removed. This has been fixed.

New restrictions for accounts with 0 or less total scp + ccp     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4.2 years ago

32 comments

Accounts with 0 or less combined scp + ccp are now rate limited to 1 post every 15 minutes. They also cannot submit link posts, but can post links as a discussion post. These restrictions do not currently apply to comments, but that could change in the future. Want to avoid these restrictions? Ensure your account has a positive balance of 1 point, either ccp or scp it doesn't matter, as long as the total balance is bigger than 0.

Voat.co had a similar immune system which penalized accounts with negative points. I believe this is a better way of handling it. We'll give this system a try, I will make adjustments if needed. New accounts might have a rocky start of having limits, then not having them, then having them, then not, but it will stabilize out the more they post (granted they're not posting genital mutilation, naked jewish women, etc.)

Also, the amount of downvotes you're allotted has been changed from 1:1 to a .5:1 ratio with upvotes. If you're unable to downvote then try upvoting some more.

Edit: Negative accounts with -20 or more are now rate limited in comments as well. Starting off with 5 minutes, we'll see how that goes.

Edit2: I changed the submission time out to 5 minutes, I will adjust it as needed.

Changes to downvotes     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4.2 years ago

97 comments

Downvotes allotted has been changed from 2:1 to 1:1 with upvotes

You now must have at least 25 ccp to downvote

You can now only downvote a particular user 20 times in a 24 hour period. 10 reserved for submissions and 10 reserved for comments.

In other news there is a new gore tag. It's not written in the rules yet but gore content should be labelled as such. Examples of gore include excessive blood, limb removal, mutilation.

Edit: I'm monitoring feedback, considering all your concerns. Changes or adjustments may follow.

Comment threads beyond 6 now load inside the current thread     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4.2 years ago

36 comments

This was a much needed change. Comment threads can now continue indefinitely. Also you will now get properly notified when someone replies to your comment in threads beyond 6 replies. I know on mobile the space available for each comment gets taken up pretty quickly. This is something I will work on. Please report any bugs or issues you run into with this new system.

Hiter = Nuke israel = PMYB     (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 4.2 years ago

60 comments

I just realized this after someone asked if I was sure NorthSeaPagan was NukeIsrael. I never claimed that, but I did claim Hitler was Nuke Israel. I just looked into the NukeIsrael account again, and I can't believe I didn't realize it before, but it's the same exact person (in Texas) who attacked the site in the early days. It's possible NorthSeaPagen is a friend of his, maybe AOU.

Site update: The deletion log, and new site rules     (TalkDev)

submitted by system to TalkDev 4.2 years ago

93 comments

Hey guys. Hope all is well.

The deleted submissions log is now up and can be viewed by all with an account. This lists posts deleted by an admin or a mod of the subverse. To access, click the button in the side menu. While in /all it will list all removed posts, while in a sub it will just list posts from that sub.

Note: Older removed submissions do not list a date or the account that removed it. I went ahead and manually added my name to the submissions I've removed. Newer posts will track this info.

Note to sub mods: If you need a submission removed from the delete log you can contact me or cynabuns. The reason must be valid and reasonable i.e. CP or dox.

A deleted comments log will soon follow.

I've also added 2 new site rules

No vote manipulation i.e. using multiple accounts to upvote your own content/mass downvoting an account.

and

Any content which contains nudity or could be considered porn must be labeled NSFW. This includes drawn/cartoon imagery.

The last rule is in response to recent abuse and is something I think a majority of the people here want or don't care about. It keeps the site from becoming /b/ and allows people who don't want to see this type of content to block the sub or disable seeing it via blocking nsfw posts in their account options.

Edit: After thinking about it I removed "and be posted to an appropriate subverse" from the last rule.

Idea: Posters with negative scp or ccp get automatically hidden     (whatever)

submitted by system to whatever 4.2 years ago

101 comments

But you can opt out to unhide them in your account options. Yay or nay? I'm noticing a lot of downvoted posts from a couple of users. Instead of limiting their posting, this might be a better idea. Or should I just leave as is? Let me hear your thoughts.

Edit: After reading all the comments, maybe an opt-in option to hide negative accounts is the better solution.

Edit: Thanks for all the input. I will sleep on it.
