no moderation

February 3, 2004 - 5:09pm — tangognat

I can't moderate! I have a gajillion moderator points and no comments out there to mod...it doesn't really matter to me but I think that this is one area where the Slashcode doesn't scale as well to a smaller number of users. With fewer people using the site, there are less flamewars/comments, hence less work for those who would be happy to moderate if they were so inclined.

Browse by

You can Browse By Comments, not a page that I've put out there yet, but it seems to be working pretty well.

Overrated

Moderation, that is. I'm all for excess.

Re:Overrated

Ah, I don't HAVE to moderate. I just felt pressure to do something with my 15 points, and had no place to go with 'em.

Believe me, I would invite all my friends to sign up for lisnews to flood the site with users but they are not as interested in sites like this as I am :(

Re:Overrated

Then let me be the first one to say it, those are not the kind of people you should have as friends! Everyone should be interested in LISNews! :-)

And to add to the problem...

Usually the articles most likely to solicit comments are ones the more active users want to comment on themselves (and therefore can't moderate). If it comes to a decision between moderating and commenting, I'll comment every time. :)

It IS really annoying though when someone makes a really great comment and you can't moderate it because you already commented somewhere farther up the thread. :(

Re:And to add to the problem...

My dear crow, you have a point there. It is an option that I can turn off, and I've not really given that any thought before.You raise a very good point there though, It IS really annoying though when someone makes a really great comment and you can't moderate it because you already commented somewhere farther up the thread.Maybe I'll turn that off, and see how things go, I don't think we'll have a problem, but we shall see.
