How do we make PDF better?

[Pakistani E]

The issues arise when those adjudicating what is good and bad behaviors become part of the problem and not the solution. PDF history shows that to be the case time and again such solutions have been proposed.

Aren't there some ground rules that are a no go regardless of the topic? I think as long as those are enforced fairly and without fear or favour, the TT/Professionals etc should be free to adjudicate on a post. Problem seems to be implementation, some guys clearly have biases.

How about a job as corrector alongside mods?

Someone tasked ( and authorized ) to just remove
insults all over when they find them?

OFC, if the poster adds more or repeats : auto-ban!

No judgement needed; the aim is to "force-clean" things.
Mods would still take care of bans upon referral?

No panacea but would help somewhat, Tay.

When rules are quite often applied arbitrarily and capriciously, and by those some of whom clearly have biases, implementation soon degenerates, despite the best of intentions.

You'd be an automatic invitee.

I demand an invitation(party?).

Isn't that what moderators are supposed to be doing already?

 

[Taygibay]

Yes and no Syed! I did that job elsewhere and
a moderator tries to be just and refrain from
overbearing control less the forum empties.

What I suggested was for a removal of insults
no questions asked. Moderation takes over on
banning and follow-up?

Just an idea anyway, may not work, may be tweaked ETC.

All the best to you and yours, Tay.

Sort of a Janitor. Well, I like this idea, it may improve matters somewhat.

Sort of a Janitor.

Exactly! Better than no fix at all!


GN mate, Tay.

Your predictably pathetic response only serves to reinforce the point made by my post above, that the claim of making PDF better is easier said than done, given the appalling behavior of those in charge themselves. The cure must start there, if there ever is to be a cure. However, management has the right to run their forum as they see fit, and we can all see how it is being run.

How it's being run is what's led to an increase of followers. Numbers do the talking.

No need to repeat bullshit.

This is the first time I have seen you dispute lol. They don't like the way it's being ran but still hang around

Most people are in the peak of their careers, started academic studies - it's probably due to the current season and climate.

Looks like someone just discovered alexa ranks.
And telling a webmaster how their site ranks on alexa ranks is like.. .
-
It would be great if you set a character limit for handles...
Broken flags and this type of handles really trigger my OCD.

If you don't want to impose a limit , a simple jugaard would keep the layout from looking like nicki minaj's butt.

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
.messageUserInfo {
max-width: 200px;
overflow: hidden;
}
}

I seriously hope that's not referring to me you'd be surprised AF what I actually look like but go ahead assume what you want, so long as it keeps d***s like you away. It's all good.

No, it's not!

Here we are talking about better behaviour Divergent mate
and you had to include a mention of male organs?
How much sense does that make, mate?

Could you janitor your own post and write idiots instead?
Besides, I think FriendlyT was answering Syed not you?

That seemed contradictory to the thread and a bit "paro"*.

Don't take virtual stuff so personal and have a great day IRL, Tay.

* French modern slang for paranoiac.

My flags are of Britain, and if it's to the other one - my bad.
