This is the current plan: http://hubski.com/pub?id=59617 It might take some adjustment over time. However, I have little faith in top-down moderation systems. They often become arbitrary and abusive. I prefer that people decide for themselves who they do and don't want to engage with.
>I prefer that people decide for themselves who they do and don't want to engage with. This is what's currently killing reddit. What happens when Stormfront or ManhoodAcademy or whatever decide to all join up? Those users decide what content is here. Moderation has to be top-down. It's the only thing that works, that keeps aggie sites from going to shit.
Right but the crowd has the control on what actually is visible on the subreddit by the up/down vote system. Reddits mod tools are terrible and the users can bypass every single one of them and the system is designed deliberately this way. My advice on the matter is to take a strong stand early and keep being strong, reddit got overrun with mouthbreathers because of relaxed moderation and poor mod tools.
By the way what is your policy about trolls following others around and posting harassing replies? The influx from reddit has brought a few here.
We will see what the effect of the new update has. Personally, if someone is trolling another user on my post, I'll ignore them. Especially if they are bothering someone that follows me. Because of the following/sharing dynamic, there's more affinity between poster and commenter here. That will likely make the posts less tolerant of trolls. We will see how it plays out. I'm always looking to adjust and improve.By the way what is your policy about trolls following others around and posting harassing replies? The influx from reddit has brought a few here.
