Is the trial over?


Some kind of comment concerning the moderation trial would be very welcome.

I can only speak for myself, but I don't get the feeling that the situation has been improved. IMHO the moderators should make more use of "1. warning --> 2. warning --> banning", even if it is just for a few days. A good orientation for them would be, if they could check especially posts that got a red arrow.

And I know, it is time-consuming, but it would be nice, when the moderators could work in shifts, so that always at least one of them is active.

If you are so tired of me, you could, first, stop sending me PMs. Though I do not answer them, they took unnecessarily some place on Ken's servers and it's bad for your stomach ulcer to write those.

Where can I look up the Rules for the use of the Red Arrow? They aren't mentioned in the Forum Rules.

You get it when giving a red but there's not much said really. Here's what's said -

I used every one of my red votes this morning on a single user.  I didn't even read their posts, I just handed out a red every time I saw one of their posts.

This may at first seem like an abuse of the voting system and I understand those red votes may be removed or reversed.  I also understand that it may have a negative effect on my own reputation score and/or even effect my ability to rate others.

Here's my justification.  This user over the years has chased away a large number of forum members.  His behavior towards others is shameful and continues on a regular basis.  While it's true that this member has contributed much towards "the community" over the years, it is far outweighed, and even negated in my mind, by his behavior.  If such a thing were possible, I'd glad agree to have every one of his contributions removed from the database if only he'd go with them.  Maybe we could get some of the old members to return to fill in the gaps.

Based on those reasons, I feel that my negative feedback actually is warranted and I feel the red votes should stand.  The fact that this user is allowed to be here is offensive to me that's my reason for handing out the red votes.  I plan to continue this protest until Ken clarifies that I'm violating the spirit of the voting system or my voting privileges are revoked.

Forum moderators: Before you delete my post, please check my posting history.  You'll see that I'm not one to post negative comments.  I tend to stay out of the nasty threads and don't tend to contribute to the bashing that goes on around here.  I hope you won't see this as just another abusive post to be censored.  I wouldn't have spoken up except that I believe this situation has gotten too far out of hand.

The red arrows doesn't give any negative feedback any longer. They will not be reversed either. This was changed when the moderation trial started. We also got the ability to give 30 negative votes each day instead of just three as it was before. The negative votes aren't even shown to the users receiving the, The only function now is to alert the moderators. (All this according to Ken in an earlier post in this or another thread).

The green arrows are still the same though

The problem I see with this is if the Moderators were using the red arrows to identify posts to review, then you're clogging up the works, slowing down the review of posts that legitimately are red arrowed.

While that may be true, there really don't seem to be that many posts that require a red. We've had two spam posts by one user a few days ago and the last one before that must be a good couple of months. The actual general posting that goes on by the vast majority of users is pretty good even if we don't always agree with what they say.

And even that does not seem to work. Both spam threads about iPhone sellings have been up for 3 days now and I bet they received plenty of red arrows.

The moderation trial started out strong but has definitely faded.  Too many inappropriate posts are being left for all to see and it appears that little or nothing is being done to those who push or exceed the limits.

The unfortunate outcome is that some long-time respected members of our community are deciding to move on.  We've seen a few come out to state that they were leaving, but how many have just gone away quietly?  Ken has said that the contribution level is still good, but many, if not most, of those contributing rarely if ever participate in the forums.  This forum is one of the great parts of this application.  I would hate to see participation here fall any further.

While I haven't moved on, the atmosphere here has definitely caused me to refrain from posting on many occasions.  I love a good debate, and I'm always interested in working toward a solution to a problem.  But, those seldom happen here.  When viewpoints are opposed and neither side wishes to concede, it gets ugly.

I find all of this quite sad.  It really isn't any more difficult to post in a respectful manner than it is to post rudely.  The anonymity of the internet has made some people too bold. I don't need to have a thicker skin, nor should anybody else.  I don't expect everybody to agree with me, but I do expect to be dealt with in a respectful manner.

I am fairly new and inexperienced concerning contributions. But after viewing some of these threads I don't want any part of it It's just not worth the trouble. I will continue to use the program to catalog my collection but that is it. My friends that have seen this program like it but I leave this warning with them you can't go wrong with the program BUT stay away from contributing and the Forms.
I have given my opinion so continue Bickering.
