Which is a violation of the APP rules and by all rights this thread should be locked and the OP suspended from APP. One of the rules here is "no thread derailment: stay on topic" which leaves one to infer that a topic is necessary for each thread and "Hang-out/shooting the bull" threads or personal announcement threads such as you find in the War Zone or in Off-Topic aren't allowed here.Originally Posted by PostmodernProphet

Hello montgomery,
It is logical to expect that most will observe the rules, but there will also be some violations. Which is why I have been wondering how this increased demand for moderation is going to affect the staff, and hence the site. And I am perplexed why you think it is just going to happen automatically, or simply refuse to consider the consequences of your actions:
And I suspect otherwise.
How is that not going to make any extra work for mods?
Aggressive use of the Ignore Feature completely eliminates online abuse, and doesn't create ANY extra demand for active moderation.

I refuse to consider the consequences of my actions?? Really? Should I care if it causes the moderators to need to moderate the forum? Isn't that their job?

All I can say and need to say Poli, is that we've just won the fight for a section of the forum where the usual bad actors are going to have to behave. Will they stay and get into decent conversations with us? Or will they leave? Should anybody care? Blahahahahahahahahahaha!

Hello montgomery,
I don't know why anyone here would NOT care. The mods are volunteers. They do the work that makes this place function. Creating extra work for them impacts the situation. I think we have a good thing here at JPP just the way it is. I wouldn't want to see it all melt down.
It is perfectly possible to have a rewarding posting experience with self-moderation that doesn't create mod work.
I guess I just don't understand the objection to using a PIP.
Some kind of made-up stigma, it seems.

I hear you and I disagree. I'm suggesting that the moderators actually do some work at moderating the forum. And fwiw, bluedream is doing quite a bit already by paying close attention to the APP section by adding his comments and paying attention to my comments too. I think it's leading to producing a spirit of cooperation that doesn't exist elsewhere on this forum.
Anything more is privileged between bluedream and me for now.

Hello montgomery,
I am all for civil discourse. I would like it if APP was the main section, and the no-rules nastiness areas were for those who could not fit in at APP. If bluedream is onboard with the increased demands for moderation, I'm glad to hear that. I lend my support to APP for that reason.

the title of this thread is there for everybody to see and the intent when posting the thread was to have a discussion on the title of the thread. I interpret that as allowing a discussion as it applies to the title.
If anybody has a different interpretation of what should and should not be discussed here on this thread then make that clear to one of the mods in the form of a complaint.
The spamming nonsense is getting over the top now and it's mostly because some members can't get it through their heads that this section of the forum is not for that purpose. STOP IT1

It's working very well so far, regardless of what the spammers try to destroy it. And this thread is a refuge that I've created expressly for exchanging ideas on the APP section.
As is made obvious by the title: Above Plain Politics

I thnk my view is appropriate on this section of the forum and fwiw, the other section is below my dignity for the most part. Can you explain why it's a concern of yours?

Correct. Technically every post in this thread is off topic since there is no topic. Technically everyone who has posted in this thread should be banned from APP for posting off topic.
