So, COVID-19 (coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, whatever you call it) sucks a bit for your health but it turns out it sucks a lot for the economy. So we're extending any subscriptions that were going to expire before then out to June first (this may be extended a time or two depending on how well our savings hold up). Yeah, we know we're an extremely small cap entity and that's not going to make a whole lot of difference but it's something we felt we should do anyway for a couple reasons.
First, we as a corporation do not have paid employees. The only people we give money to are our hosts, our registrar, our CPA, and the revenooers. Which we're going to have to continue doing regardless and which we can currently afford to do for a month or two without dire risk of having to make infrastructure cutbacks. Putting money into us during this nonsense doesn't help much in directly putting food on someone's table or keeping jobs from going poof, so we'd prefer you guys put anything you were going to send us to work where it will help at least a tiny bit in keeping the businesses that your neighbors work at afloat. Which is to say, spend it locally.
Second, we're quite fond of the folks who've chosen to financially support the site and we don't want them to get dinged because of something that wasn't remotely their fault.
Now we're not shutting down the site's subscription functionality. If you feel a desire to contribute anyway, we're happy to oblige and we're not going to tell you that you can't. We're not the bosses of your wallets and it would mean extra work for me when I don't really have time to do much of anything code/admin-wise.
Also, we're only doing this automatically for current and new subscribers; we don't want to hit people who weren't interested with an unsolicited email about subscription expiration when we have to shut the extensions down. They may have quit subscribing or even frequenting the site and it's annoying as all get out to keep getting emails from sites you stopped doing business with on purpose. We're happy to handle it manually, though, if your subscription ended any time since the first of the year. Just drop a comment to this journal entry (NOT to THIS story!) and I'll take care of it as often as I have time (at least once a day).
That's all. We now return you to your regularly scheduled mix of discussion, debate, yelling at each other, and trolling.

You control the idiots - not us - by using using your moderation points. Will it get rid of of them all? - No. Most of them? - Maybe. Some of them? - Almost certainly. And if you change your threshold to 1 or 2 you will quickly lose the worst of them.
If we begin to censor those with whom we disagree then we will be no better than all the other sites that are nothing more than echo chambers. We believe that we, as a community, are better than that.

Don't think it needs a whole Arduino, but I would like a solar charger for my car that has a regulator to avoid overcharging. It should include a temp sensor, since the correct float voltage for lead acid changes with temperature. That car sits a lot and like many newer cars will run it's own battery down in a couple of weeks.

A few proposals then:
- ACs are already exempt from the "modbombing" rule. Make them exempt from the "don't use Spam mod on these people unless it's literally an ad for viagra or somesuch" rule too. SOUNDS excessive, but it's a way of keeping the bottom-feeding lazy assholes out. Spam hits the originating ipid with a tremendous negative penalty. In effect, this is saying "if you wanna troll that bad, register." Like a lock on the door, it will keep out the stupid, lazy, and weak.
- More mod points, say 15 or 20, for longtime users.
- Make the Troll mod harsher.

1) The spam mod encompasses quite a few other problematic posts beyond what you're describing. Why does it need to apply differently to ACs than others? That makes no sense.
2) The purpose of the moderation system is to people can choose not to read bad posts without more heavy-handed measures like bans. You have the ability to set a troll modifier in your viewing settings so that you don't see troll comments. It's up to you to use it.
3) As demonstrated on Slashdot, people can and will create large numbers of troll accounts when it is the path of least resistance to trolling. You're not solving the problem.
4) Why do users need more mod points? It seems there are already a lot of mod points given out. The same effect could be achieved by a greater number of users moderating, plus it avoids the issue of a single user using moderation to promote an agenda.
5) Slashdot editors have unlimited mod points. Unless the code has changed to prevent this, the same should be true here. It's simple enough for editors to clear out the obvious garbage while allowing ordinary users to moderate the rest. And moderation is really supposed to be more about promoting good comments than suppressing bad comments. But editors could mod the truly bad posts to -1, which would avoid the need to give more mod points to ordinary users.

Nope, I get exactly the same number of mod points than any other member of our community. And that is exactly how it should be.
It is true that a site admin can take even further measures than simple moderation, but they do not usually do so in isolation. There is considerable discussion about such things behind the scenes to prevent any one person from deciding the path the site will take. If necessary, in the rare event that we cannot agree on something, the responsibility for the final decision is passed up the tree until it gets to the Board.
The Board contains names that many of you who joined after, say, 2016 might not recognise. They have been here since the very early days and they have the (unenviable IMHO) of managing all the legal and financial matters that a site such as ours must comply with simply to exist.

You can see that I'm the same AC, but anyone without admin privileges can't so I'm saying that.
For those who might not remember, editor moderation was quite controversial over on Slashdot. A massive amount of editor mod points were spent to mod down the first Slashdot troll post investigation [slashdot.org] and all replies to it. Anyone who modded this up or one of the comments in the thread had moderation privileges revoked. If extra measures were taken to make sure APK gets the spam mod he deserves, people other than APK probably won't complain. If there's any suspicious moderation of political posts on either side of the political spectrum, that will cause a big problem. I never said this was a good solution, just another alternative that has precedent on Slashdot.
I'd actually prefer to see more users participate and the number of mod points reduced to five at any particular time. That would reduce the influence of any particular user, but would probably require more user participation to work. But I also don't think the system is particularly broken. As I noted, there are plenty of ways that Azuma Hazuki can avoid seeing low quality anonymous posts. Like I said, perhaps you could create a modifier for unmoderated posts, or perhaps split it as a modifier for anonymous and a modifier for logged-in posts. It might add a bit more flexibility to avoid seeing troll comments and I suspect it should be fairly easy to implement, though I'm not familiar with Slashcode. But my comment should be taken as a whole to mean that I think Azuma's concerns are unfounded and change isn't needed.
If more people used the spam mod on APK's spam instead of something like troll, it would get rid of his spam faster. Perhaps Azuma's issues are actually with her fellow users not using the spam mod when it's appropriate.

There was a discussion over on IRC regarding this very point. If anyone thinks that a post is genuinely spam then they should moderate it appropriately. If we feel that the moderation is inappropriate we can rectify it, and if anyone tries to abuse the moderation process then they will suffer the publicised administrative action. But, more importantly, we encourage everyone to protect the site so that the vast majority of us can still express ourselves freely about the topics under discussion.

If I had to guess, people might be reluctant to use the spam mod because of this statement in the FAQ: "If you are unsure of whether a comment is spam or not, don't use the spam mod." They might also be unfamiliar with it because it's not one of the options at Slashdot. It might also be useful to explain the disagree mod. I think it's a +0 modifier, but I'm not entirely sure what it does.
Maybe if someone uses the spam mod in good faith, genuinely believing the comment was spam, and the mod is overturned, it could be handled differently from actual abuse. If the user calmly emails the admins to explain why they believe the comment was spam, if it's a good faith difference in the interpretation of the guidelines, the one month penalty could be lifted. Obviously if this happens several times with a user, it's abuse. But if it happens once or twice and they discuss it in a civil manner with the admins, perhaps there could be a judgment call to lift the penalty.
Another option might be to allow users to hide all comments that are modded spam, even if they're browsing at -1. Spam mods are reviewed by the admins, so they'll get reversed if they're applied incorrectly. But it would be helpful if moderators read at -1 to reverse other incorrect moderations that don't get reviewed by the editors. That way, they can read at -1 and moderate up good comments that are at -1 while not wading through all the spam. I think a few minor tweaks like that and perhaps the comment score modifiers would be helpful. But I hope you don't actually change the moderation system. I don't think it's needed.
I don't think the system is broken as-is. These are just a couple of ideas to allow logged-in users more flexibility with how comments are displayed.

Just because someone disagrees with a statement doesn't mean that the person making the statement is trolling. People have differences of opinion in regular conversation all the time. The disagree mod is exactly what it says - but it is only useful if you then make a comment explaining why you disagree. The 0 modifier is there intentionally - the fact that someone disagrees doesn't mean the statement is incorrect, so why should it be penalised?

If that's your current policy for handling spam mods, that's good. I have no issue with that. I'm familiar with Slashdot but am less familiar with some of the tweaks that have been made here such as the spam mod. Thank you for clarifying.
I was suggesting that an explanation like that of the disagree mod might be a good addition the the FAQ. I agree with you that a disagree mod shouldn't be a -1. It should either be +0 or +1. The latter could be justified on the grounds that if the user disagrees with the comment yet finds it worthwhile enough to merit further discussion, it's a quality comment. I'm suggesting that you add it to the FAQ because if users understand it better, they're more likely to use it as you intend. A lot of the political discussions on this site would be better if people used the disagree mod to express their disagreement instead of troll or flamebait. And I think it's pretty easy to tell distinguish someone making good points that you disagree with from someone who is just trying to provoke angry responses. Actual shitposts try to be inflammatory and don't actually make an effort to defend their position.
I agree that it's up to the users who moderate to do their part to improve the site. Like I said, I think moderation works pretty well as-is and I don't think you need to adopt the tweaks that Azuma Hazuki is proposing. If you decide that something needs to change, I've made a few suggestions that could be considered but stop short of actually changing the moderation system. These are only suggestions. Do with them as you wish. I have no problem if you adopt them or choose not to.
Thank you for your time. I appreciate you discussing this with me.

Of course, I also had runins with the subway preachers :) Remember in 2011 when the world was supposed to end (again)? I asked one of them the day before the supposed event for his wallet, saying that if he really believed what he was selling he wouldn't need it. Needless to say he didn't give it to me, LOL.
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...

APK shot you down here https://soylentnews.org/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=37033&page=1&cid=985329#commentwrap [soylentnews.org] and you, like a typical stupid cunt that overrates her own "intelligence" (or rather lack thereof) in thinking you being a pill pushing pimp (that can't prove it also, hahahaha) actually makes you a psychiatric pro dispensing diagnosis in your instant prognosis based on no real tests or data, still you were so buttsore after the reaming apk gave you, that you tried to get the last word only to find yourself blown away. To the point where your own stupidity and temper have you vulnerable to a libel lawsuit as well as defamation of character of another person who doesn't hide behind fantasyland fakenames online like all your kind, losers, do.

While I personally would prefer people to log in (because it makes the threads much easier to read) I can also recognise that some will want to post anonymously. They already get hit with a penalty for doing so. They cannot moderate, they don't have a journal, etc. But your moderation points are for you to use however you decide. If you think somebody is spamming - moderate it appropriately. Similarly, if you believe that they are trolling, moderate them as you wish. As long as you are prepared to justify your actions when/if someone else believes that you are misusing your mod points then everything will be fine.
But if anyone abuses their moderating privs then they must also be prepared for the consequences.
How long is a 'longtime' - a month? 6 months? A year or more? Why? What happens at this magical point in time that guarantees a user's comments will all be of a high standard? You do know that Ethanol Fueled (2792), 'Buzzard (18), Runaway1956 (2926), and khallow (3766), are all a longtime users who usually post under their own usernames too, don't you? (I plucked those names 'at random' of course from recent discussions that you have had - no offence intended to any individual.) Just because you don't agree with somebody doesn't mean they are automatically trolling.
The Community can already mod troll posts so that they cannot be seen - what are you suggesting we should do that is harsher? Hanging, burning at the stake, or perhaps the witches' ducking stool?
The problem is that everybody has their own idea of what is acceptable and what is not. The only fair way is to let the community decide what they want to view. We have enabled this by having moderation, a system of thresholds and the ability to remove topics from view at the individual level. I don't agree with many comments that members of our community have posted on our site - but I will defend their right to express themselves while at the same time moderating appropriately.
