I know some people criticized some features, such as the rating system, so I need to know what we could do to improve Omnimaga so it would be more friendly and more drama-less. Any ideas are welcome.Thanks.
I am a proud cynic.
Well, I meant something more concrete such as completely disabling the post ratings system and enforce the nDoom policy 12 months a year.

Any ideas are welcome.Thanks.I think that adding politics to the list of things to not discuss here would be a good idea, seeing all of the flaming and locking of the recent politics topic.

I think we just need better moderation - not to put any more pressure on you guys - but just a bit more emphasis on those hot topics. If we can handle religion topics, surely we can handle politics, right?

Omnimaga is very good as it is. The recent problems are not caused by Omnimaga, but by trolls who don't like contributing constructively or by misunderstandings. We must all figure out what exactly someone is saying before accusing them of something, and listen to his side of the argument. To prevent events from snowballing, these debates should be discussed via PM as well. If we all do this, there shouldn't be problems except with deliberate trolls, which is what the banhammer is for.

If we can handle religion topics, surely we can handle politics, right? EDIT: I opt for a non-negative rating system - that is, you can't rate down posts, only up. Similar to the Cemetech username++ system, but a bit better. This method works on plenty of sites (like Engadget, powered by Disqus), so we might try it.

I personally think they're about the same in flame-friendliness.Quote from: yunhua98 on September 19, 2011, 11:08:44 pmOmnimaga is very good as it is.

We don't want to use bans too much though.

And the non-negative post system actually sounds pretty good, nice way of rewarding helpfulness and hard work.
