The RON forum is unmoderated?

MrBaggins · February 21, 2003, 01:19

I see no '(Moderated by: MrX )'. Isn't that a bad idea?

ixnay · February 21, 2003, 01:48

I would guess it's just patrolled by Markos and Dan. I just update some of the content on the main RoN page.

FrustratedPoet · February 21, 2003, 03:44

Markos has posted there quite a few times, so I guess he's keeping an eye on things.

Do you have a problem with flaming/spamming etc... in the RoN forum?

Skanky Burns · February 21, 2003, 03:59

I think Ming's powers can reach that forum too, but Markos and Dan definately have the power to mod that forum.

MarkG · February 21, 2003, 04:06

reports in forums with no moderators go to me and dan
that said, ming can act there as well.....

Frozzy · February 21, 2003, 05:05

And anyway, there is no need for a specialist moderator there... it's not like you need to keep threads topped, closed etc. all the time.

FrustratedPoet · February 21, 2003, 06:04

That will change in a couple of months when the game is released, though ... but I'm sure our fearless admins will have the task well in hand.

Lots of the smaller forums have no explicit mod........but I'm sure they get looked at every now and again, to make sure there is no spam.

Not quite sure what happens with the Nation States forum.

Alexander's Horse · February 21, 2003, 06:33

No mods?

*moves to RoN forum*

Nation States is where we post.

Although FP broke the rules of that forum and actually made a decent non-spam post.

Anyway, is it really a good idea to advertise a mod-free section of the site?

/me feels so ashamed

MrBaggins · February 21, 2003, 08:16

Yes, I noticed some pretty blatant spam in the forum. Thats why I was asking.

FrustratedPoet · February 21, 2003, 08:19

If it's blatant spam you want then you've come to the right forum here!

MrBaggins · February 21, 2003, 08:26

I think you'll find the blatant spam forums end in 'DG'

Straybow · February 21, 2003, 19:39

I knew there was some reason for joining NS… got caught up in actually playing it for a while. What was I thinking?

I guess I ought to join a DG, too.

For the most part the stuff going on in the RoN section is very similar to the posts pre-Civ III "Oh my god they have included feature x!" "If they don't do this I am going to be so mad." and "If the game isn't out soon, I don't care how many bugs, I might explode!"

Markos has been posting often and has a good handle on whats going on. And if you do see a bunch of spam that he has missed there is the great "report" link in the corner of every post to let them take a look.

Nation States blatant spam? I moved there because I thought there was, but it's just RPGing, the only spam was buy Tassadar.

Demogames have more spam... much more

H Tower · February 22, 2003, 02:15

hippocrit, you're involved in 6 demo game!

Frozzy · February 22, 2003, 03:29

I bet he's not active in half of them

IIRC... there was no "spam" as such in sense of the word (i.e. several 1 word posts in a row), but it was easy to get a +1 for those with the post count in mind.

Actually, how can any post be spam in the DG? We have to poll for the opinions of people.

That being said,
all those who want to legitimately increase postcounts can join a DG.

Spammers can go to Nationstates.

Frozzy · February 22, 2003, 04:02

DGs aren't spam fora, they are just generally easy to increase postcounts in.

Infact, some people in our DG are filing a case for spam, ironically enough.

H Tower · February 22, 2003, 04:53

AGAINST spam, against spam. I've been arguing that the constitution for the CtP2 DG implicitly gives the court a measure of power in regards to enforcing site rules, like no spamming. Afte several days no one has come up with an arguement that the court cannot do so, only why the court should not do so.
