Interview: Ask SoylentNews Staff Anything

from the no-really-do-it dept.

By now, you have had the chance to read the updates of both NCommander and Barrabas. Nonetheless, you may still be wondering quite a few things about the site and its staff. Here is your chance to ask us anything. These questions can be general in nature, in which case the staff will select a spokesperson to answer it, or it may be specific to an individual. If the question is for an individual, please ensure you identify that person specifically enough.

We will select the best questions from the thread and provide answers to the community. These questions may not be the highest rated, although we will probably use those first.

In keeping with tradition, ask as many as you'd like, but please, one question per post.

    I've only had mod points once so far, and put all 10 into the three stories I hadn't commented on. I suspect most of the good posts I've seen that haven't been modded up are because of what you stated, people wanting to comment.

    I've had mod points here twice. The first time they expired before I had a chance to use them. This morning I got the opportunity to use three of them, but they had expired before I got to work. I dont mind the mod points having a short expiry time. But perhaps 8, maybe even 12 hours would be nice.

    Yeah, that's the way I play it too.
    Its less than Ideal, because some of the stories I'd like to post on, I end up moderating instead.
    Oh, well....
    I look at it as adding quality rather than quantity.
