this is something that i notice, and /d/ is a glaring proof of it.
what are mods really for?
when mods force rules that are not written down it fucks up the party.
when mods sticky, content that gets posted, is all bare minimum, and safe stuff, that there is no way in hell you can get banned for.
when mods leave, the trolls come out and come back in greater force than ever
as proof, the /d/ main page has 3 threads that "violate" the mods never written down rules.
/d/ has 3 main page threads of blatant spam.
there is no blatant banning, so we cant even see if they do anything to people. every now and than a good thread dies when it was first page, so we know some mod removed it. but than Spam is still there.
I KNOW MODS HAVE A TOUGH JOB
/b/ must be hell to manage
spammers don't make it easy either
but as a community cant we self regulate? you must have seen image bombs, obvious spam, and others.
there is a check box, and there is a report function, but do you realy think, that over all the whining people, all the people who report just because they can. do you think that every non illegal content report is looked at?
thats why im prepossessing a system, like with image bombers, to eject them from a specific thread, and have there images removed.
lets say in the case of image bombing, 10 images must be in the thead minimum, and all 10 must be community modded by 10 people to eject the person from posting in the thread. and when a single image gets community modded by 100 people, all of that persons images from the given thread
obvious trolls will be ejected based on 50 people asking them to be ejected, if he is the op, than it needs 250 votes, and it will become unbumpable
and content removal would be based on 500 votes
like lets go "shitty western art" an an example that comes up often in /d/,
you con vote 4 times an hour, on any single image, and after an hour, votes in the beginning get removed.
this is just an idea i have, and its a rough idea, but i believe it would be a great way for the community to self mod instead of waiting for one of the few mods to come help, or for one of the few janitors to help
