Just one more thing that makes it glaringly obvious that reddit caved in to busybodies who can't handle a topic they don't like. Hard to beleive that so many people in /r/atheism fell for spezz's bs about vote bombing. I hardly go to reddit anymore after that crap. Things look like they're back to usual over there in /r/atheism, like that mess didn't happen. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=70#post-720 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:24:25 +0000 koft 720@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>here again </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=70#post-719 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 04:02:06 +0000 yoasif 719@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>here. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=70#post-718 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 16:14:25 +0000 db2 718@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>The contact thingy there works it's just not particularly quick. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=70#post-717 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 13:16:04 +0000 koft 717@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>/me nods </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=70#post-716 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 06:15:59 +0000 db2 716@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>Two things:</p> <p>1.

But it seems that it could be accomplished without uh watching user behavior **closely** as anything more than numerical data.</p> <p>I think a good course of action would be to allow a certain number of up and down votes per day when a new account is created. This would then be adjusted by commenting and submissions. Somehow we could put together the rating algorithm in a way that good insightful submissions give more ability to vote, and over time, users that have better overall submissions might get more up and down votes and that type of thing. Obviously there would be a negative consequence for accounts repeatedly accused of trolling and the like. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=15&page=2#post-708 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 18:20:17 +0000 yoasif 708@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>Divided, I neglected the first part of that quote:<br /> <blockquote>cubathy: how would I get the behind-the-scenes ratings without explicit voting would be via means watching user behavior closely.

I agree with what he is saying, there should be an option to view the entire comment path beginning with whatever post you find interesting.</p> <p>It would be good if we could implement some sort of system that can move easily up and down the entire comment tree, not based necessarily on up/down votes but on the continuation of conversation, without having to switch between pages and following links to show/hide stuff... </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=8#post-705 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:25:47 +0000 DividedYouFall 705@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>Links are the internet first of all. You can't get rid of em. A flagging system for possibly NSFW links is going to be the best approach to give people a good heads up.</p> <p>I don't know how, but I think the moderators should have some sort of check in their power, if a moderator is going a direction the community doesn't like, the community should have the ability to remove their privileges. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-704 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:21:39 +0000 yoasif 704@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <blockquote><p>I believe I read something about a more nuanced voting system, and this would be great, but the simple up and down voting shouldn't be removed.</blockquote> How do you reconcile those two goals? </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-703 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:18:47 +0000 yoasif 703@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>OpenID actually collects less information that traditional user accounts -- for example, OpenID relying parties do not collect passwords. </p> <p>All OpenID relying parties (like my site) get is your OpenID and knowing that you have logged into your OpenID provider. We don't get passwords, or email addresses, or anything else, unless you decide to submit that information yourself.</p> <p>So again, when using OpenID, we aren't even storing passwords! </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-702 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:16:34 +0000 DividedYouFall 702@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>All of the possible interactions between members should be on the site. The useful part of email addresses is when you have forgotten a password... so, that shouldn't be removed, but perhaps not required.</p> <p>It seems that a blog/reddit hybrid wouldn't be terrible honestly... I like the journaling idea, with the ability to publish posts onto the main page, as an evolution of the self.reddit posts. The best posts would remain, and those sub-par posts would disappear. It wouldn't turn into a blog site any more than reddit is, but it would be easier perhaps to follow a certain user's journal entries (if they kept their unpublished journal public). </p> <p>As far as polls go, the argument against polls because of possible bias presentation is not convincing. The polls would be subject to the same down/upvoting as all the other posts, leaving the best polls around.</p> <p>I believe I read something about a more nuanced voting system, and this would be great, but the simple up and down voting shouldn't be removed. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-701 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:45:48 +0000 Pikatore 701@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>I agree. I don't want to be part of a site where I have to put in anything more than my username and password. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-700 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:51:57 +0000 speek 700@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>It seems a no-brainer to allow it as an option. I like usernames to be completely anonymous - all it is is a placeholder so that I know the comment posted by Pikatore today was made by the same person who posted a comment as Pikatore last week. I dislike it when registering wants to gather more information from me than username and password. Why should I have to give an email address everywhere I go? Why should I give my real name? </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-699 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 14:43:18 +0000 Pikatore 699@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>it wouldn't hurt to have multiple ways of having an account. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-698 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 13:17:53 +0000 sabruda 698@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>I like OpenID myself, but I understand DB2s objections, especially since we not are providers yet. It doesn't have to be the only authentication scheme we use. I believe in having a low threshold for participation. Username, password and captcha should be all a new user needs to fill out, but OpenID is preferred by some users and should be an available option. </p> http://reddit.subjectnull.com/topic.php?id=45#post-697 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:03:09 +0000 yoasif 697@http://reddit.subjectnull.com/ <p>How long have you been on the internet?
