Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 1st, 2007 10:53 PM Author: Dashing mentally impaired tattoo Thank god this board finally has a voice of reason. GTO is such a TTT.
Date: March 1st, 2007 10:49 PM Author: rachmiel is not a mamzer
I think I have to at least temporarily suspend the volunteer mods now, because it seems to be an irreconcilable point of friction and it's not worth it to me to have everyone running around saying the sky is falling. It's not their fault, but this is not taking to the community.
Also, we should re-clarify the outting policy. |

Months later, sugary or MTG or somebody will slip and say something about moding and the cycle will repeat.
Something that's always been consistent in the three years this board has existed is that neither Rach nor GTO have foresight to realize what pisses people off

|
Date: March 1st, 2007 11:19 PM Author: vigorous associate If it's the name of a poster, yes. Maybe it sounds like a PITA, but given how few people are out I can't imagine it would make things that much harder for you to manage.
I'm not saying it's ideal from a policy perspective but it makes sense because it prevents the freakshows that inhabit this place from complaining about any inconsistencies in application. |
|
Date: March 1st, 2007 11:25 PM Author: Electric Corner excellent point. the number of posters that are outed is small--6 or 8 at most. NO NAMES should be allowed. if people want to out themselves, there is IM, email, etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=588669&forum_id=2#7695704) |
|
Date: March 1st, 2007 11:16 PM Author: supple hateful stead philosopher-king Thank you for being reasonable. Basically, even posters who might have posted details about their identity, even their name, should be protected from outings later if they so request. People and circumstances change, and there ought to be a provision for that.
>GTO has made at least several, maybe many, questionable judgments. The most prominent that comes to mind involve his inconsistent implementation of the outing policy. When it comes to posters GTO has felt slighted by, he has been absolutely reprehensible, particularly Blue Smoke and leaky juice box. Under the thin guise of “posters who have already outted themselves don’t receive protection from outing” he has refused to lift a finger when their privacy was tampered with. Although I personally find both Blue Smoke and ljb wretchedly annoying posters, it’s clear even to me that it does not matter what they may or may not have done to out themselves in the past. If they wish to retain their privacy and request so, then they deserve the same protection made available to any other poster. That would be a sane outing policy. As it stands currently, GTO’s implementation of the policy is morally odious, as he’s clearly incapable of separating the public sphere from private. Which brings me to my next point. |

basically no sugary as a mod |
|
Date: March 2nd, 2007 12:08 AM Author: vigorous associate I think a craigslist-style reporting mechanism would be a good start. E.g., "mark this thread/post as offtopic/outing/etc". That gets clicked enough times and you/GTO/etc get an email then lets you make the appropriate change just by clicking a link (e.g., to delete the thread/post).
That at least makes it efficient and easy for you to use (though obviously people will abuse the reporting feature). I won't wade into the moderators debate except to note that if you could get, e.g., the college board people to deal with law board moderation needs and vice versa people wouldn't be so upset about the identities of the mods. |

Let stuff like this come from you, not from him, and I bet that solves 90% of the problem. |
