What's your opinion?

Don't Remove Posts 96 93.20%
 
Remove Posts 7 6.80%

Actually, i think the moderator should have a choice whether to remove all their posts, and only use it in extreme cases e.g. pornography spammer

^Why is a post that "includes nudity" extremely offensive? lol


Put it this way. The site wants to be PG. PG-13 content is iffy and may have to be moderated, and too much may require banning. Anything R and above is simply inappropriate and doesn't need to be viewable regardless, particularly since sites are required by law to require age checks for that sort of content.

 

It should be pretty stinking common sense why nudity would be highly undesirable.

26 vs 0 at this point.

I don't see how it could be difficult at all to just change that one feature. I bet some of my friends could do it in less than 5 minutes.


If Dr. Grass ever gets banned I want to know exactly what he said! No quoting..... -_-


I was banned three times (I think) in the beginning of the year... I guess it would've entertained you, but I'd rather not go there again.

EDIT: I mean beginning last year (i.e 2011)

This was added a few years ago as a quick way of removing offending material (such as pornography). We had a number of cases where someone signed up and posted a load of offensive images in different threads and rather than a moderator having to go through and manually remove each one, the ban system was set so that a permaban would just hide all posts from that user.

I agree that this feature isn't really necessary anymore and this is something we can remove when we update the site.


What if the porn spammers returned?  Would you implement the removing all posts again?

Removing every post should be an emergency measure available to mods, but it shouldn't be the rule. Most of the times removing just the offending posts is the best options, and sometimes leaving them too with a note of the mods added could be even better, showing everybody why those people were banned and implicitly telling them "please don't be so stupid and offensive again".

In case this isn't clear: we ALL agree with you. We don't want posts to be removed either.

But it's something ioi has to change, and you know how slowly that happens.
