Nah.. no way.

I am probably with the second least reports:

In all honesty, kudos to all the users who have reported more than 300 posts. Like, dedicating time to something that has no return personally,and yet doing it,is not something everybody does.

OP, how long is the voting for? Not that it matters, but just curious.

Moderators are regularly questioned anyway. Its just the normal thing to do when people are butt hurt. If a moderator removes a service in a space which they are competing in then theymos could look into it, and see if they had a reason to remove it. But, at the end of the day the mod offering the service could leave it for another mod to deal with to avoid any conflict of interest.

please read carefully. i wrote this COULD lead to a trust problem. if a mod has a service x and deletes post of service y that offers a similar product. then this may be a problem. it could be a problem even if erasing is justified. because servcie y made a "mistake". the position of the mod could be questioned. and that could lead to all decisions of the mods being questioned so that only unnecessary discussion will arise. => ∞

I am not aware of any restrictions on mods business activities on the forum.  Why can't a mod do business on here?

I bought quite a number of things now from the forum and I am also involved in an ICO, does this mean I shouldn't be a mod?

Plenty of past, and present staff members have done business though. John K for example had a pretty popular escrow service. Maybe, its a good idea. But, at the end of the day if they can't be trusted in business deals then can they be trusted on forum moderation? So, honestly I don't see the point of putting restrictions on staff members doing business on the forum.

That would have to be determined on an individual basis I guess.

Dogs that bark do not bite.... And you are right. It's not about "popularity". And it is not about fame. I think mods have to be hard workers. And it is important that they "don't" do business here. Because this could lead to a trust problem.

I think it is also useful to focus on the positive as well as the negative. Converting a problem poster into an asset is another way to reduce the load on the mods.

I know it won't work with the bots and the TwitBook spammers, but there are others that could be encouraged into better posting.

I’d say that the ball is really still on the "where" and "when" area, rather than the "who". The former two questions are the important ones, alongside with the determination to go through with them. The “who” should be easily derivable from inner reporting stats, and voting on a poll should be amusing but probably render small no null results as outcome.

A moderator in certain context such as a debate is a nice position to have, and has a certain ring to it. Moderating a forum is a different thing, and on a forum such as this one, with all the spam, the attributions are less rewarding and more demanding in terms of stamina, stealth, criteria, and being able to deal with a cesspit of posts on a daily basis. Moderating here is a necessary task, albeit I gather not too rewarding.

I would presume that those people with a lengthy, accurate and stable track of reporting are better suited. That is not my case, since I report only what I encounter and that I’m pretty sure on. I do filter topics I read by number of posts in the thread, generally excluding any thread with more than 30 or so posts, or that has a non-appealing title, so I probably miss-out a fare share of spam that is easily detectable but that I do not encounter.

Perhaps quite a bit can be still done to aid reporting/mods in terms of automation and setting barriers to incessant spam in the first place, being more proactive than reactive. The latter is being pursued by @hilariousetc with resilience, and some of the proposals would certainly pull the plug and allow the pool to be drained to some extent, easing the task of the moderators. 

I want to publish the list, and use my appeals process, but I keep starting new projects.

Fit to Talk English needs a bit of a booster as well. I've got to many unawarded merits at the moment.

That's what get for ignoring so many users! Even I have more:

I would have thought that I had the fewest.

and I don't agree that the bad ones were bad either.

No, pugman assumes that he has the least number of reports but you cannot check that, if the data is not publicly announced as theymos has done a few times before.  As far as I know there are no up-to-date lists of the top reporters.

It would be cool if there is a sound alarm to the nuke feature like this for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XpImo80neo

I have to ask what's probably a stupid question, but how can I tell how many reports other members have made?  Is there a way to do that?  I know how to view my own number, but I've never seen a link to any statistics on anybody else.  

Thanks, that's what I thought but I've been known to miss important things here before.

Come on chipmixer campaigners, now is the time to prove your shilling skills. Prove that you're better than QS(at shilling) and abuse this vote, and make all the 5 chipmixer shills in the nominees, a mod, lol.

Jokes all aside, I have the least number of reports in comparison to everyone else in the "nominees". If I ever become a mod, I'd be a living hell for the shitposters in that board. I'll mostly go on a nuking spree, and delete the unnecessary posts. I don't really report because it's double work. But when there are better reporters, I think they deserve to be a mod more than me.

A few members are missing out, especially Krishanapramod, mdayonliner, ,xtraelv, Lafu, iasenko(These people more than 1000 reports IIRC).

Jet Aid was an impulse registration as a result of this thread. As I mentioned, most of the mod actions are punishments, and even the merit sytem was designed to create a barrier to ranking. Many members are helpful, but as far as I know, no member has tried an active policy of helping new members to maximise their experience here. There are numerous guides and helpful posts for various aspects of membership, but I don't believe that anyone has taken a holistic approach to forum membership.

At first I thought this was just a somekind of fan of JET CASH, because I think TalkMerit is enough to do another job. Oh well, sorry for judging your username in a wrong way of thinking. I really thought that this was just an alt of some shitty bastard that wants to earn Merits by licking the ass of Jet Cash.

Edited:


So you're saying that the user account's on Jet Cash's Ignore list will have its second chance like marlboroza did on giving red trust?...
Hope that it will also work...

The emphasis should be on help and encouragement. If one is commenting on a post structure, then one is unlikely to award it with merits.

Jet Aid provides Bandaids for posts, mods provide them for the posters' mouths.

Yeah, this seems more of a popularity contest. A few members up here I haven't even seen a report from. Plus, there's a few other members who aren't vocal about their reporting, but report a lot. I think in these circumstances without data of the top reporters in the specific sections we can't really nominate anyone because of the lack of insight.

Why not Jetcoin     or Jetforum 

I agree that TMAN should be a Legendary, but at the moment he is still a Hero. Becoming a Legendary is a lottery for some reason.
