Suggestion to forum admins - page 29

 

TSD Chatroom.

I'm not certain if this topic has been brought up before, but will the Mods look into installing a chatroom for the forum, i.e. Java Chat Software - AddonChat provides a free platform that is being used by several other vbulletin-based forums.

This allows us to exchange ideas on a more impromptu basis, rather than allowing people to post random spam messages on popular threads to seek attention.

 

Chat room is good idea and it is old idea: many members suggested to do it and, if I remember - it was some unoficial chat room which some members used.

We passed this proposal to the developers and hope that one day it will be done.

 

To all the members - please, do not make any post or thread as commercial advertisements in the public sections of the forum: it will be deleted with no discussion.

Because I deleted few threads for 2 hours ...

If memory serves me right, it is simply a registration on the host site since we don't actually host the chatroom, and then all we'd need is a link on top to re-direct users to the java applet that houses the chatroom.

Thks for considerating the idea! :-)

 

So, when I say: "please do not make overquoting otherwise the forum software will move your post to moderation mode" - you know what that means.

I am continuing my small a series of lectures here.

- Pie fights.

Pie fights are characterized by heated, emotional exchanges, and although they are typically of short duration, they can have a devastating effect on an online community. Pie fights can be started by Internet trolls who use baiting techniques to enrage Internet forum users so much that they post inappropriate and/or offensive messages. Unfortunately, this often results in disruption of the forum more than anything else.

- Insult.

Insult - Insult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

- Holy wars.

It is senseless discussion on the thread when the members are trying to prove to each other something which is not fully related to the topic of the thread.

Action: banning participants.

Thought policing:

Thought policing (taken from George Orwell's novel 1984) is when someone trolls the forums looking for posts that do not align with their political, religious, or moral values. When they find a post that they do not agree with, they post messages in that post to incite people to bring attention to that post to get it locked or deleted. This phenomenon is widespread in forums and motives can vary.

I just deleted some post from RAS section with full characteristics according to this classification So, people are not reading what I am posting.

One example.

If one member did some unappropriate claims on the thread about his "good profit consistently" and did not post any proof so his case is having the place in this classification. But if you make few posts against him and if your posts are inside this classification too so you both must be banned

I am writing here the cases/reasons for banning ...

Sometimes moderator can not ban the member for some case ... so members can use preved or lytdybr language, or padonki posting style to make the attention that this person is flooding/scamming and so on.

So, the Padonki almost lost the initial negativity ...

I mean: everything can be solved using good words.

Using good words and good intentions - people can solve any issue.

 

Because in our forum every thread is having the meaning: the house. Many threads = many houses. The houses built by some people for themselves and for everybody. And if someone is entering to some thread (meaning: house) by force for "save newbies" or for some any other good reason - so it is better to read this classification before doing it.

Because ... may be the people of some thread is only thinking to do some non-appropriate case ... but you are already inside this classification with your posts ...

So it is better to read this classification before doing it.

 

And I want to remind about something.

This forum is acting as the public place with a lot of everything. So, sometimes it is necessary to know what and why ...

So, some usefull information.

Opinion Leaders.

First of all the admin/moderator are deciding: which kind PR he/she wants to see on the forum. It is easy to recognize the particular PR Opinion Leader.

In same cases the forum may have some dangerous situation when:

Opinion Leaders "without job".

Opinion Leaders are in permanent informational hungry condition. They need the information. If they do not have information so they started to act against the forum itself, against public threads and so on.

It is Opinion Leaders "without job".

My personal opinion: it may be good to keep them employed inside the forum, or/and provide them so good business oppotunity so they will be busy with something positive.

Reason:
