+1 for creating your own content. I'm just a lowly recycler.

GameRager: I tend to think I like myself...albeit not to ultra high levels of vanity. o.0

richlind33: You like yourself so much that you beat your head against a brick wall trying to change dynamics that are beyond your control. And then you come here to cry about the results you're getting, which is guaranteed to add insult to your injuries.
At the end of the day if we are truly held to account i'd rather be shown to have tried than not....

zgrillo2004: Off topic. can someone quote my reply. I think there is a bug where I have a notification that I have a reply but that topic was deleted.

richlind33: You're not alone. Thread about the antifa assault was deleted instead of locked. Now we are FCKed until the end of time.

LootHunter: So much for GOG being non-partisan.
I'm guessing someone on staff is an antifa supporter or thinks mentioning antifa is somehow "political"...or perhaps since they were mentioned in a bad light it's seen as "hate speech". Clown world indeed. :\

Tauto: In case it's over your heads. You can officially abuse someone and five minutes later,edit it and all will be sweet even if copied or left in another post that doesn't matter as it's hearsay.
Ashlee likely meant they only remove original posts, but they could use quoted posts as evidence against some users.

But then again they could just say that user quoting it could've made it up or edited the post they quoted to get someone in trouble.....but then maybe they could check any forum logs(if any) to see the original posts that were changed by other users to verify such.

pro tip:
never have an a/c runnin' if the sun directly shines on it durin' teh peak of teh day

a/c has to (over)work harder an' will die much quicker. mornin' or evenin's. you're safe if teh sun doesn't directly shine on it (aka shade)

of course, if you have central coolin', all is well

end of pro tip.

scientiae: This is actually a good idea. …

skeletonbow: That's fine though because if someone with a low trust actually reports something properly which is in violation, the chances are that there will be many more people reporting it too. So the combination trust of all the people who submit a report is what will affect its position in the queue. If the report gets approved as a violation, then everyone who reported it has their score elevated including those with low trust, so they can still gain trust.

But people who abuse the system more than they use it properly will always end up with a lower trust metric. If someone has a change of face eventually and starts being more responsible with how they use the forums and report things, then they'll gradually gain system trust over time again.

The system would be a sliding trust metric, with some amount higher weight placed on more recent activity than older activity, thus rewarding people who contribute in a positive manner to the system, even if they were the opposite at a previous point in time.

The exact algorithms and how they're tweaked would be an internal thing that is adjusted over time based on how well it works to get the desired results, and to manage corner cases or any ways in which someone figures out a way to abuse the system.
Agreed. :)

ResidentLeever: I don't get why you can't cancel an up- or downvote, I've done it by accident a few times.
Well, I guess the answer would complain about (programming and user) cost versus (goodwill) reward. By user cost I mean this could be alleviated with a confirmation dialog ("Are you sure?"), but that doubles the work (two clicks minimum instead of a single click) or means the metrics can be further revised (not just by people scouring old threads to find people they hate to downvote antiquated comments) as Goggites click madly between up-/down-voting.

GameRager: Good point....the best one can do is push the opposite button. :\
Beat me to it. :)
I have made mistakes myself, and I generally just reverse the vote to amend it. What I mean is, even if the comment wasn't what I would reward with an upvote, if I accidentally downvoted it I would then correct it with an upvote.

But really, it's pretty insignificant when considering individual posts; statistics are useful for measuring quantities of items, not the specific individual instances.

no one in the Keweenaw has A.C.

That would be like someone in the Bahamas owning a sun lamp.

tinyE: I had a ban extended for using abusive language toward a member of the GOG staff.

I didn't like it, and I had a tantrum about it, and if it happens again (which it eventually probably will) I will again have a tantrum about it, but if they are handing out the same penalties to everyone, I fail to see the bias.
Of course,YOU wouldn't see any.

Bullshit!

The reported post has been removed, and user involved was also contacted, from what I see these actions are sufficient.
But thank you for your feedback regarding our forum moderation, I'll definitely forward it our team for reference.


And why was fr33kSh0w2012 today 0:31 banned and can't post full message as it is inappropriate?
