Fluther: Can you suggest some alternatives to Removed by Fluther moderators?

Removed by Fluther moderators for being too witty

Lightlyseared (34626

Andrew has mentioned that they are working on a way to reduce the space a removed quip makes and also (I am fairly certain) labeling off-topic quip removal as such.

I am not sure if there will be special labels for spam or trolling, but a good indicator of a spam removal would be the amount of lurve the user has. If it is under 50 chances are good that the remark was a sales pitch or a trolling attempt.

I believe they are planning on giving more info when something is removed.

Not only will removed responses take up less space on the page so that the discussion is less disrupted, but a reason will also be given for the removal. Stay tuned!

Well as long as we are suggesting for fun:

“Removed because the user has obvioulsy not reached puberty.”
“Removed because user did not bother to read the details.”
“Removed because it would not enlarge your central appendage”
“Removed for being a total douche comment”

Just wondering…and, I know this may sound stupid…but, how does spam work on these posts and, what exactly is a troll?

MissA (7396

@MissA That is not a stupid question at all!

Here is a sample of what a spammer might post:

“Yes- this is a great question. Removed by moderators is a huge problem but I fixed it though using http://bowel-be-clenz.com. They really helped me come up with some good replacements for removed by moderators.”

A troll on the other hand might say:

“U r a luzer- eat me”

@richardhenry That’s a great idea. It would be nice to know if a troll is stalking or it’s just a coincidence that the same anonymous newbie is posting “removed” answers right after ones answers.

It would be nice to have a function that allows us to remove (rather than modify) our own responses after the time limit has expired. I’m sure it happens regularly that a user wants to take down something upon reconsideration (or sobering up).

Yes. I would like to know specifically why a quip was removed. The guidelines should be index-numbered by paragraph and sentence (like the Bible), and each removal should reference a specific index number. That will end much of the quibbling because:

1.) The mods can defend their removal by pointing to a specific reason,

2.) We can challenge a removal if a mod stretched the rules to justify a removal.

And I think even after being flagged, a quip should remain for 24 hours (or click a link to see the quip after clicking through a disclaimer that says, Warning: this quip may be NSFW or offensive) so that we can see what it said and judge for ourselves whether the removal was justified, or if the mod was being heavy-handed. As it stands right now, we have to take the mod’s word that it was a fair removal, and I know from experience that the mods are a tad overzealous in removing quips.
