Administrators Cory Posted August 10, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2020 These forums have moderators, and over time we'll be adding to our current staff with volunteer moderators. The majority of moderation will happen automatically. Depending on the Rank of forum poster you are, is how much weight your actions will have. As an example, someone who has been around a very long time on the forum, when they flag a post as inappropriate. It will be removed from public view until a moderator can take a look at it. If you are new to the forum, your vote may count as One of 3 or 5 votes needed to perform the same action. Likewise to avoid trolling, someone who is a long in good standing member, would need more votes than someone who has been on the forum for a couple of days. This removes a lot of the day to day moderation tasks and places it in the hands of the forum users. As a group we can decide if something has gone too far off track. While I hope this is rare, there will always be disagreements that pop up and might get a bit heated and people need to cool down. You'll notice that upon sign up, users have to accept the terms of service now. Also we have guidelines on the menu for posters to follow. This will evolve over time and just because something isn't there, doesn't mean it won't be against the rules. At the time of creating this post, I realize I forgot to say nudity isn't tolerated. Clearly this would be against our rules but wasn't posted yet. Here are some of the Rank Levels, these can change if I need to adjust, also please don't "chase" these ranks by spamming comments. We have an active community with meaningful content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I couldn't make out the titles. It looked at first like the 3rd rank was "Active Puffer". I have just squinted a little more and now I see it might be "Active Poster". 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyGenusCaps Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) I apologize if this is not the place to ask about this, but it seems adjacent, so I'm going for it. I might have missed this, but what are the "Trader Feedback" sections all about? What are the new "ranks" in the lower left corner of people's account images, and how are "points" handed out for that? Also, what are the new badges on some accounts in the upper right of people's profile images? I'm asking to try to understand this all better. I've not been on here long, but I'm really quite impressed with the consistent updates that happen. It is clear the folks behind the scenes care a lot about this forum. Edited June 11, 2021 by OnlyGenusCaps Edit: pun not initially intended. But I am leaving it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
