FORUM HAS TURNED INTO SELF-MODERATED!

[VLSroulette]

Good news for productive posters and very bad news for disruptors: OUR FORUM IS SELF-MODERATED now

Now thread starter becomes Thread OWNER and he can remove posts at a click of the mouse. No buts, no if's. If thread owner doesn't see something fit for his standards at his own thread, s/he has the entire right to remove that post, no appeals.

Productive posters' heaven, disruptive posters' hell! 

Now each thread a world. Each poster chooses how much (or how little) shall s/he take at his/her own thread.

Wonderful times for productivity as everyone can take their threads where they want them to go and prevent hijacking or having to wait for moderators to read them and act, now each thread owner is the first line of defense for their own forum space.

Abusers can start experiencing a hard time putting disruptive messages into threads, as now we have near 3000 moderators protecting the board and removing abusive/disruptive messages from their threads

Hooray for us!

Also, please notice:

Posts which are expelled from thread by the owner aren't just dissapeared and the typing work lost, no, this isn't the case. They are moved to our new "Removed posts' haven" at the bottom of the index which only lists each poster's own posts, for each to decide what to do with them; if you choose to move them back to the public forum, then you become thread owner and can stand for it on your own standards.

Fair with all sides.

This is GREAT!  Time to clean my threads!

Spike once said: there will be the day on which every member of VLS will be a moderator...

Well, this is the day

I not think that is good idea.  People can lost many his post many discusions.  And this not gives him good emotions. Think once again, maybe this not the best solution. . . . . . . . .

Yes I agree I dont think it is such a good idea sometimes threads need opposition not abuse but opposiion and some thread starter may want just positive response

Is my 10 cents worth anyway

[Arteinvivo]

Victor, it's certainly one of the best decision you took. In line with self-organisation. The way ants create their own world. I am sure you'll add new features over time as everything can't be right the first time. But I consider this a very great innovative idea. Congratulation.

You always have new ways of trying to improve the forum Vic, I'll give you that. One question however. Is this possible? >>> So n so posts a method that is pure crap, a short and long term loser. He gets 7-9 posts regarding this matter. Polite comments/questions regarding his crap method. (I'm not talking about you Rpro, relax)  He deletes all of those polite posts because he is offended. Then, some rookie player reads the thread and thinks "Gee, this must be a good method to make some easy cash, no one opposed it?". He takes his HARD EARNED money and then off to the casino he goes. Is this possible?  Ken

I think you are mixing two different things into one. First, every one is responsible for his own actions. Second, if you drink and get drunk, whose fault is it ? the grocery ? your mother ? or father ? or society ? everyone else except maybe YOU ? 

[Mr J]

I'm not saying the author of the method owes the rookie his money back. But if he/she is reading about some methods to use and sees NO ONE has any downfalls with it, it is easy to THINK, that method MUST BE damn good! Yes, it is still his/her own actions.  Ken

I think this is the price to pay at least for now as many are not adult enough to discuss intelligently. But I admit sometimes it pays to get nasty with some authors specially when they don't understand they make things more complex then they are and make it hard for even the most intelligent person to understand their ideas. I don't know why but a name comes to mind 

[Mr J]

"I think this is the price to pay at least for now" >>> Dont get me wrong, it doesn't affect me. I know whats crap and is not crap. I guess I'm sticking up for the "not so bright" rookie players.  Ken

Gives some names 

[Shorty]

Hmm, I disagree with this new feature. There are moderators in place for good reason. These are the people are should be upholding the rules and regulations of the forum.

I'm certain people are going to be deleting posts from their thread that they don't like and deem "disruptive", when really they just do not agree.

[lucky_strike]

Yes Shorty I hear you and I agree so now we have one direction only for yes sayers that will quit work from 9 to 5 and pay there bills with roulette money.
Victor does not understand that you need tails and heads.
