O'club discussion

[Toad]

A simple little technical innovation.

Poster X posts some inflammatory stuff that clearly violates the rules and is very offensive.

The mod has an IP tracking program and a "hot key". Pressing the hot key sends a huge burst of energy across the net that causes the offender's CPU temp to momentarily spike and rise to 5000 degrees F.

That's all HT's OC Mods need.

That and sharks with lazerbeams strapped to their heads.

- best I could do in the time!


Nilsen - ask the poster to edit post himself, on penalty of "further action". I know I've been OTT a few times , but I have edited or deleted posts when this has been pointed out.

Just a question that may have been asked somewere before (sorry if it has)

What can one of these mods do if that is the choise you go with?

deleting content that clearly breakes rules?
temporarily banning users that misbehave?
editing content?
etc..

Or just moving suspect threads to another forum were HTC can make a review them?

As I said. If Skuzzmeister and posse wants me too, id be willing to help out. I spend alot of time here so why not. Seems that some of you users would trust me too and thats nice. thx

I would imagine that non HTC employed moderators would have the power to lock, delete, edit, move, hide, and warn, or some mixture of the above. The idea I would say would be to relieve Skuzzy and Pyro of 95% or so of the moderator work load around here, otherwise, volunteer moderators would be pretty useless. If every, or even most actions had to be cleared by HTC, they'd be just as well of to do it all themselves or shut it down.


I'm pretty sure HTC would not want to allow any non HTC employee to ban or otherwise punish an HTC customer. Anything on the level of banning would probably be handled by Skuzzy, Pyro, or HiTech.

It's just an educated guess, and I could be WAY off base. It wouldn't be the first time. I have a wife, I MUST be wrong MOST of the time.

[Nilsen]

How bout this..

Everyone who registers has to reveal a verified e-mail adress to either their wife or mom.

makes em stay in line...blackmail is a powerful tool

As to your choice of moderators, I see some good names, and I laugh at the rest...I mean come on, Mini-Dork has been banned as least once from this BBS for venting some 4-letter words on a couple of hapless posters, he was given a temporary time out!  LePaul has his own BBS that he lets pollution troll around on.(It is where alot of turds that get booted from here float around on...)  

Seem to recall Ripsnort is a regular there too.

Hmm.  Pot, kettle again.

Funny how anyone you disagree with is "pollution".

[Bodhi]

I would think the following would make good mods...

Captain Virgil Hilts
DeadManFlying
Gypsy Baron (the AW one)
LePaul
Maverick
Saintaw
Silat
Toad

All exhibit maturity, and all seem to maintain a balanced head in regards to the discussions even when they disagree with the poster's content.


Sorry Nilsen, but you have too many inebriated moments on this board

Ohh, and I agree that the nonHTC mods should only be able to lock and edit... no bans... that needs to be handled by Skuzzy or other HTC staff.

LOL! Like that's in keeping with the O'Club.

[Skydancer]

Thanks Skuzzy.

Never meant to cause offense.

Guys Just for Info my game ID is Redfist hence the Redfist that appears in my avatar. Thought I might as well explain that one!

Ok I'll shut up for a bit;) Bedtime.

Hello All,

Just got back in from Chattanooga (man, if I saw one more reference to "Choo-Choo") so I have a LOT of messages to read through. I was really chuffed to see the O Club back in action, thanks HT.

While I am honored and frankly surprised that I got so many votes for moderator, I'd need to give it some serious thought.

There is no way I could do it solo, I have way to many responsibilities, and not enough time as it is. So I guess if I was asked to be mod, if I accepted it would have to be with the following humbly submitted provisos:

1) That there be multiple moderators
2) That the Rules (or constitution if we are using the "birth of a nation" idea) of the O'Club be spelled out in full and fleshed out with examples. As it stands, I am seriously vague on what constitutes an infraction of the rules as applied to the O'Club. Occasionally (and I know this isn't Skuzzy's fault) it seems like the rules are applied in a haphazard manner.
3) Truthfully, I'm more of a player than a ref, the third provisos would be that the moderators be allowed to continue to post - although I admit this inevitably produces a conflict of interest.
4) That I get 2,000,000 fighter and vehicle perkies [ok so #4 is negotiable]
