Two things are becoming painfully apparently to me:
1 – I don’t have enough time to properly moderate all the submissions
2 – you guys have a TON of submissions.
3 – I can’t count to two
4 – No one wants to pay for MCS+, but really that’s just fine.
So what I plan on doing is making it so everyone can see all the submissions and future posts and a core select few can mark posts for removal / approval. Maybe just the mcs+ people.
Maybe just select mcs+ people.
Thoughts?
sounds like a plan to me.
People who pay for mcs+ obviously enjoy the site and have some respect for it. So having the mcs+ users vote on new submissions is a good idea in my opinion.
Why moderate at all? What’s the worst that could happen?
You trust our judgment, right?
ponies -_-
Can you really trust the already polarized, rabid mcs audience to not remove pictures they disagree with?
A few level-headed mods? Yes.
All Mcs+? No.
“…level-headed…”
Not many of those people left, if any at all…
I completely agree with the rest.
This is what I came in here to say.
everything goes through Magnus and casemods for approval. What’s the worst that could happen?
holy fuckin crap tiki, you’re synergetically crowdsourcing outside the box
*high five*… if i had $ i’d be a plus-er too
1, 2 – That’s been painfully obvious from some time now.
3 – It could be worse – you could (be a) cunt.
4 – Most people don’t like to pay for stuff. In “teh tubes”, the trend is even more potent.
I think the problem of people not wanting to pay stems from that this is an aggregating site with basically zero original content. Also, the community is mostly a malice-based form of life.
People might want to pay for expanded social elements, or maybe higher resolution pictures/posters.
We need a system just like Havard. When they get loads of applications instead of reading through them, they throw them up in the air and the ones that land in the bin don’t get through the ones that land on the desk are approved and the ones on the floor are used for dogs to pee on.
What’s the point of having a front page that loads new content in intervals anymore when everyone can see everything ahead of time? You are killing the point of the website.
That’s also what is killing your comment communication that you have been worried about in the past. When everyone can see every image whenever the hell, browsing through hundreds of images at a time (and then not coming back for a week or so) it becomes mindless(more so than usual)instead of thoughtful. And people are no longer coming around at strategic times to see the new posts and communicate together.
Don’t leave the site to the wolves. There are regular visitors you can trust, appoint them as mods.
Bear in mind, NK has MCS+.
I vote for me is good enough
I DECLARE MYSELF SUPREM ULTRA FUN MODERATOR FOR LIFE
I actually think NK would be a good mod.
why? 8/
He’s been here longer then most, is possibly the largest poster after Tiki, and is active in the forums.
I could be wrong, but I think he has been a mod in the past, and I know he’s got special posting privileges on imgderp.com
No need for everyone to see submissions, but I wholeheartedly approve of having a number of Tiki-sanctioned members approve submissions, preferably some of the long-time contributors.
Agreed
agreed +1
I say turn this into Myspace and sell it and then go back to your roots.
I agree with the idea of a post-approving mod panel, but I urge you keep it to NO MORE than two, other than you. Any more than that is too many cooks.
Always two there are. No more. No less.
A master and an apprentice.
Actually, this sounds ideal:
Pick two people to review submissions. Anything they both like goes right in; anything they both dislike gets shown the door; anything they disagree on gets sent to tiki, whose judgement is final.
Keeps it simple, and cuts down drastically on the volume that tiki has to slog through, without taking him out of the process.
awesome
The time it’s going to take for both people to review a post is going to delay that post going into the cue. Anyone Tiki trusts should be able to make a decision on their own.
But what about the young-lings?
Tiki, listen to wise audsmaud.
If everyone can see everything, there’s no point.
My vote for a mod goes to HoChunk.
Are you afraid that I might not approve your filth?

my porn is better
I nominate Demon for NSFW mod.
are you calling me a slut??
revision – I vote for HoChunk AND crewmanguy.
Are you calling HoChunk and myself sluts?
She’s just hoping for some guy-on-guy action.
Devil’s threesome
*sniff* nobody loves me….
Demon and NK ?
Mods
-Must be MCS+ members
-are nominated and voted in with a simple poll
-can view and approve/reject submitted images
-can ban people for stupid behavior
-can vote on images
-can reject or delete images on the main page voted in by MCS+ members.
MCS+ Members
-Can view/vote/comment on all submitted images. Once an image gets a certain amount of votes it is automatically either posted on the main page or rejected based on thumbs up/thumbs down votes. Mods have ultimate control of this though, and can parlay approval if people are voting to approve something that could get the site in trouble.
So some regs get to be that uber nerdy “become an internet forum moderator” guy.
I really don’t frequent the forums but would happily stamp “DENIED” on a submission every now and then. Most I see in the MCS+ are worthy (worthy = not crappy)
Maybe not just McS + users…
After all I think you’ve posted all my my submissions, and I’ve been around a long time….
And I’m not a hippy seaweed sucking drain on society like some of the other regulars
Smooth campaigning there, Mr. Tea Foxnews Galt (R)
You were doing so well, man, pull it together.
My 2nd post was separate to prove my point. qas it true? Yes. And anyone who down voted me should not be allowed to be a mod, they can not tolerate ideas that differ from theirs.
Do I agree with magnus buttface? He could phrase things better. But a lot of people would just shut him down, and he is a huge contributor to the site –
Is casemods annoying as hell? Was he a deliberate troll? Yes again. Did alot of his crap need to be here? No, but occasionally he did post really good stuff, but people had so much hate they refused to consider it. I’ve never understood the hate…
Oh great, another special snowflake who believes each and every idea and opinion are just and correct because EVERYONE is a special snowflake and deserves it.
Your 2nd post was insulting. The fact that your trying to spin it into “anyone who down voted me should not be allowed to be a mod” is the reason you shouldn’t be a mod. Down votes are an expression of speech. You are your own example.
Tiki, with regards to the “ban people for stupid behavior”, anyone who is banned should be able to appeal to you to have it removed.
That way a mod can keep spammers out, and not keep out anyone with dissenting ideas.
HOW WILL WE FIND ANOTHER CASEMODS?
STUPID BEHAVIOUR IS RELATIVE.
There could be only one!
I would love it if all submissions were shown. I uploaded a group of pictures that I took, being an amateur photographer about a month ago and still have yet to see them.

I believe that particular phenomenon is known as ‘poisoning the well’.
Also, emptying one’s mental colostomy bag in the comments sections every few days doesn’t quite make one a “huge contributor”, and neither does an approved-pic count that remains in the single digits.
I could be a moderator. I like everything- except ponies. I definitely do not appreciate ponies.
Guy’s got my vote.
In the end, when stupid people have become mods, perhaps then visitors to the site would pay for the unmoderated content.
