07/31/09(Fri)20:24:39 No.149691403>So what are we going to do about it? The following are a few of the solutions I currently have in mind:
> Split up the board: Following 2chan's lead with Nijiura, /b/ would
be seperated in to several boards. 2chan presently has six Nijiura
boards. Providing two versions of /b/—one with named posting enabled,
and one with forced anonymity, is also an idea. One major concern with
this proposal is that it would further spread out our already overtaxed
moderation staff. Obviously, we can add more moderators, but that's
always proved far easier said than done.
>More visible
moderation: During what many consider to be /b/'s "glory" days, it was
not uncommon to see a trail of "(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)" strewn
across the board. There was once a time when "MODS" didn't equal
"FAGS", but rather, "GODS". I hereby announce my intention to return to
these times. I've long held that "Random" should be left more or less
entirely to its own devices, but frankly, you sometimes often need us
here to keep the crap at bay.
>A "sage"-like function that
actually works: sage has been misunderstood for ages—its primary
function is not thread voting. Implementing a form of user moderation
that actually impacts the content of the board, separate from the
current reports system, ranks high on the list of possibilities.
>Work
will begin on implementing these changes as soon as possible. As I've
said before: "Try to remain patient; good things take time." |
