    Boss, don't mind my kaypoh, I noticed nicks with ZERO posts and more than 3 years old are not sweeped out by the script. e.g. atuxx. Just to let you know. No offense to this nick, but just looking at letter A for script performance. Member: atuxx

    Mod Peppertail's first night at his new job....

    Interesting lor...a pretty high percentage of members in moderation posting vis-a-vis those that're not. Post count perhaps? Also, I realised that the dragnet left out plenty of nicks with ZERO posts thus far. I thought the script sweeps all dormant nicks with ZERO posts out? Curiously, what...

    The OP or TS will be furious lah, BOSS. It's like you marry your wife and then your best man screw her on your wedding night while you spend your time reading up the meaning of organised chaos and why it's good for the marriage. Oh Lord!

    Mod Peppertail's first night at his new job....

    Are you saying all Posts and Threads need to be approved by a Mod before being published? It's supposed to be automated. Also, what is peppertail EDITING? Removing all that, assumingly I'm correct, this is the final report card. Still not bad, but re-directing threads is not as tough as...

    Another serious issue is thread hijacking. Sigh. The Mods need to spend time to read all threads to seive out such things. That is why Joetys will fail in his role. He's lazy and nonchalent. Thread hijacking is Yellow Card in most forums and subsequent infringement, Red Card. The Report...

    Oh my mistake. I meant the ZAP feature, not the Infraction feature. It's too early in the morning, and I missed my early morning jog. (I jog before dawn).

    Boss, it's really good. Don't be prejudiced because you think it's crap lah. It is very conspicuous and does not take up real estate. It tells the User he is liked for his posts and not his Reputation in the forum. Going to the User panel, the user can see who has given him Likes and for which...

    Agree mostly. Yet, the negative psychology of being infracted by another member and not knowing who infracted whom is already causing the feuds and unhappiness in this forum. Not the bans, for the bans just show the furiousness of the infractions. The act of infracting is the moot point. Nobody...

    Look at Yahoo Comments. So many pro-PAP and anti-PAP and neutral members contributing. If a member writes sense, he will get alot of Likes and Yahoo comment system has Most Popular, Most Recent, Most Like, etc. just like Facebook comment. vBulletin has its pros and cons, but it's not...

    Boss, if you don't mind me saying, give you an example of Moonlightaffairs and Laksaboy. Moonlightaffairs will infract and he dare to infract. So will Laksaboy. They are personalities here that will click the Infraction icon, no matter if the sky will fall down on them or not. They're like that...

    I feel that all these troubles the forum had been facing is that some members are victimized by the rep system and the attendant abuse of it. This culling of the 110 accounts merely leave those InfP accounts a fertile playground for warlording. That's all I'm saying. No hard feelings to anyone lah.

    You have already said that giving Infraction power to members was a big mistake and yet you're still not doing anything about it? Just because some paid you for InfP power? You'll have abuse and nonsense. I really think you should just make it flat. Make all members have same privileges and you...

    Yes, that is term as branding. You brand yourself as a platform where freedom of expression is encouraged, but then, you also needs to imbue responsibility in expression. If you've a shoutbox, then all vulgarities can be reserved in there and keep the forum clean for debates and discussion...

    I already said. The alternative to passion (read: emotional) is apathy. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

    This is because Sammyboy.com is a brand. Even though Boss says it's his own forum, with branding, there is social and "corporate" responsibility, even though it is an entirely private entity leh.

    Boss, I thought you said Mods have Infraction power? You said you wanted to limit Infraction power to Mods, right? So how do you penalize a Mod who Infract indiscriminately just because of some strange personal reasons? Relief him after 3 strikes over a stipulated period of time? If you do that...

    The alternative is to be socially apathetic. No one uses anyone else unless it's agreeable. You can see lots of social activists in your neighbourhood kopitiam. To snuff off such voices is tantamount to caging the human spirit and the human spirit cannot be caged for ever or the person dies with...

    HeLLo Moderators...

    Anyone, whether pap or non pap, should just debate and discuss and not zap or infract behind the scene. Matured people do that. All this zapping and infracting are signs of cowardice and inability to debate and discuss. Simple as that.

    HeLLo Moderators...

    Sorry brudder, I do not support you. :D I'm a straight talker and I predict you'll do a messy job. More like a lazy nonchalent job of moderating.

    Government groups are also using activism groups. C'mon, this is a democracy. Why so afraid of this and that? Obama has a mass of lobbyists and his votes depend on these lobbyists. Activism will always lead to change and the betterment of society. It is awareness personified in the common man.
