@Operator - As far as trying to get OPs to accept their posts, what is going to be done for the extremely old posts that were submitted by anons years ago? Been answering those worth 400-900 points... hope those are not going to be discarded.

@Operator

Just wanted to alert you to a spammer.@RabudasTV keeps trying to advertise his/her own website.

@WorldsBestPorn there is no given config yet. We will trial and error it and set it up accordingly. Also as of right now there is already limitation on users with pending questions. If an user has more then 100 pending posts with possible answers in them or their accept ratio is below 65%, then they cannot post any further questions.

As I said, the OP accept ratio is higher then ever, we just need to get rid of incorrect answers and make the accepting more accessible for OP's. Also, review system will of course rewards with extra points. So users can have multiple roles on the site.. Who only asks, who only answers and ones who review (edit, add tags and etc). This will all happen in this year.

@Operator

I like this "review pool" idea. How long after an OP is reminded to accept a correct answer before the post would enter the review pool? Because just recently I asked an OP why he hadn't accepted a right answer after 4 months, and his reply was that he "found the video himself a while ago". So...just because he found the video himself, he saw no need to help the community and close that thread? That's the kind of selfishness I see from OP's all the time, so this review pool sounds like a good start. Perhaps we can even get extra points for participating in it? ;)

The OP ip system is in place right now. As you can probably see from my message here.

We are working on the community review system right now and basically everybody who wants to contribute can do their part in it. Either big or small.

But whatever the config will be for now, it will be temporary solution. Moderation needs to be un-biased. Right now it is equally slow to everyone. OP is ultimately the one who needs to accept. Users on site will go stupid with power and start accepting each others answers only. And that is the biggest problem, why we have been careful of giving you guys powers.

My personal hope for the review system is, that it allows us to grind out all crap answers. That it teaches lower levels how to format, gets rid of spam and straight up wrong answers. And OP can accept much easier, as there are confirms that community finds this to be correct. If OP doesn't do it, he will be reminded first, if nothing happens, the answer will go to a review pool and community can accept the best answer. Of course, this is my personal hope and vision. We try to take absolutely every variable under consideration, when doing these systems.

@dub
you read my mind. also, if you create a queue of things that need to be approved, having tags and a non-matching ip would be prerequisites before being added to the queue.

@Operator You don't need to show the IPs to (regular user) mods if the system just tells them that the answerer's IP is the same of the OP's IP. Some text like "Same as OP" beside the alias (and maybe a tooltip explaining it, without showing the particular IP's) should be sufficient.

@Operator
Thanks for the info. Good to receive some information rather than nothing.

I would have hoped personally to get these concerns to our/my emails before. Since stats wise the natural accept ratio is highest ever. There is no way to keep moderating like we used, we have outgrown it. Changes have to be made. These changes have to be more systematical, to which a thread was created, how many suggestions did we get there..?

Community moderation is the key. But, it holds multiple legal and technical issues. For starters, we are responsible for your privacy and without a legal container, no regular user shall ever see other user(s) IP(s).
But you cannot moderate, without knowing if OP and answerer is the same person for example. Also there is no technical support of user moderation.

We hate the situation as much as you do. We have worked very hard towards ultimate solution to make the service better and more stable. And to prep all subsystems to support user based moderation.

So what we are gonna right now, is that we will start developing the community based moderation system earlier then planned. We will find some of the highest ranking users for BETA testing, which means that moderation will continue slowly (and probably a little glitchy at first).

We are still standing by for all suggestions either to my personal email or general. If you feel like something is bothering you or you feel in the dark, then please email us. We generally respond to all emails, but we cannot always be very much open about what we are developing in this thread.

@mentiraa As for as I can tell, they have completely stopped moderation, and no one has a clue why. We have been complaining for months that we needed more moderation to counter the fact that most OP's simply do not care to accept correct answers, and what's their solution to that problem? Even less moderation and giving more OP's the ability to accept answers. What can possibility go wrong there, aside from everything? O_O A simple solution would have been to hire more Mods, or at the very least give high ranking users Mod abilities so they can accept answers and keep this site running smoothly. I'm sure guys like@axelcapo would love to be a Mod, because he is on this site most of the time.

hi there boss

can u tell us whats going on with the site? (even a lie will be enough lol)

i think everyone noticed that our posts are freezed (so is our solved ratio) and we can notice a few demotivated members too...

im also sure that you guys are doing your best working on it but a few words might get things better dont you agree? :)

@FilaFubu
Yeah approval has slowed way down in the last 6-8 months. I have lots of answers needing approval as well. That's always been the way that approvals happen in big batches, but it's worse lately.

@Operator
I think@FilaFubu is asking in general how approvals work because s/he has answered lots of questions without them having been approved.

@FilaFubu This is not the thread where to ask for accepts. Most of your answers are before, low level OP's could even accept or where OP is anon. This is the topic where to talk about general issues that affect everyone.

Have a long list of Answers that haven't been marked correct by OPs (or anyone else). In fact it seem like almost none of my answers have been marked correct since I joined. Couldn't find a thread for this after bringing it up in the confirms thread. Wondering if mods can approve answers..

@WorldsBestPorn Yes, we have noticed, its been quiet. And yes that is an issue. And there are multiple solutions. First is, we can notify them over email to come back and check, but most probably this wont work like expected.
The ultimate goal is community moderation, and the core structure of the system is ready. Just its a very very big solution and will take massive amount or work. But it will be here as soon as possible.

At first users can start-up a vote to do something, and others from a special panel can add their vote or challenge it. Each vote type will have minimal parameters set for completion. For example combined moderation points (correct voting ratio) being met for accepting answer or deleting spam.

The level 1 accept will be modified a little, to avoid cheating however. So confirming posts for low level OP's is needed. So the low level OP cannot accept answers without someone confirming them first.
Sadly, people are confirming stuff, that is in wrong format, lacks proof or is straight up incorrect. So we will also introduce a negative effect for wrongful confirms at one point, that will be merged with community moderation.

Since there is also flood limits in place 1 post per 5 minutes and 24 posts per 24h. And when you have more then 100 possible answerable posts, you cannot post. We will make it so, accepting your own posts wont give you points.. So if you want to get rid of unanswered posts, but don't want to be accused of cheating, then you can relax and answer it for wiki-purposes and get no points for it.

But first we are working some critical hang problems related to those long thread posts. As we speak sites full media content is being converted and site will get faster.. This will take apx. 1-2 week total for 3 600 000 media files.

@Operator

I have been away from this site for quite some time, and It has been recently brought to my attention that anons are no longer allowed here, and that Level 1 users can now accept answers. But what about older posts from anons? Should we not try to answer those anon questions, since without any moderation, our answers won't ever be marked as correct anyway? And what's the point of us confirming answers now if there are no longer any Mods to accept them as correct?

@dub Ok I see what you mean now. I don't see a problem in doing so. There is gonna be a general upload dump system, and with that this can be implemented.

(Follow-up) @Operator, sorry, I understood something else by indexing. I was thinking of taking the first frame of the GIFs we submit to ImageReverse, and searching for matches in the database, so we can at least have some kind of reverse search in the page for the GIFs we find on the web. Currently any GIF URL is rejected on ImageResearch, and it seems to me that could be a way to allow it. Could it be possible?

So basically the GIF format is being to replaced with mp4. Which doesn't really mean nothing, because visually there is no difference and there still be access to GIF. Just it will be much more faster and stable format, we can play with.

Sadly, there was a conversion issue, so currently chrome users got the full benefit, but all other users must wait till we re-convert everything with updated variables.

@Tyrion1 it is not you. GIF's stopped working on all non-chrome. Currently they work. We are going to work on more permanent solution.
