Petition to End Moderating

Wed, 10 Sept 2008, 07:52 pm

On a different thread, Dazza said: I think that everyone needs to have their moderation rights revoked! I for one would be happy to give up the privelage of moderation if it means that this silly consorship will stop. I have echoed these sentiments on my blog: As for moderating comments, I have a suggestion. If we can't use it, we lose it. I am prepared to lose my ability to moderate comments if other people are misusing it. If the content is defamatory or illegal, perhaps we should leave Grant to sort it out. What does everyone else think? I propose that since this is a public forum, we make a democratic petition to make an amendment to the website, namely, no registered member has the option to moderate comments. If you are for or against the abolishment of moderating powers, please post with a yes or no. Let the people's choice count.

Dan, IMHO if you have time to read, you have time to moderate. Set your filter to ALL THE RUBBISH, save it and that becomes your default from now on - unless you change it later. Even when you log out and come back a day or four later. As you read, you moderate. The only additional thing you need do is to then click the Moderate button once done.

If anyone adopts a policy of moderating all posts they read with the approprate filter setting, then it will not take that much more time than that spent reading the posts in the first place.

Then again, it only takes a handful of people to start positive moderation to counter the effects of the few moderation abusers out there, so it you don't want to participate in moderation, then that is your choice of course and I am sure no-one will hold it againsts you.

We don't need EVERYONE to moderate, just enough.
