Great idea. Like the yellow stripe on the bumper for NASCAR rookies.
There is another way too. You can give members a flag button. If x amount of people flag that post it is automatically deleted. It makes it easier on the mods. This is a big forum and they can’t be expected to see each post and sometime members may not even see them or want to take the time to report them through the abuse feature. When maybe 10 people flag a post, it can be automatically deleted or the mods can take a look and decide. It makes it easier for them than checking every single abuse report.
I saw some of the original thread and the only one in the email to Jim that I thought was out of line was calling the child a whore.
Might help a little. But I've been suspicious of some FReepers with lots of seniority when you pass the cursor over their name--then I do a posting history search and discover that they do very little posting, some not for years.
Is it too paranoid to wonder if the opposition has a nice library of long-time "personas" to make use of when the opportunity strikes?
We could disallow photos of Obama children, period.
But I'm not going to give up the fashion critiques of Michelle. They just ran on too long about Jackie Obama, and she's no Jackie.
Ping to post 365 — not a bad idea.
FR should put a bright red indicator into posts made by newbies for their first 3 to 6 months. There are a lot of fake FReepers posting inappropriate comments to stir up controversy.
Great idea!
