Re: Isn't that part of the problem? (none / 1)

Yes but if front pagers or other participants in a row don't want your intervention you just have to move on.

Well, no, you don't have to move on: an FPer has real power here, in that they can hide threads, delete comments and ban users. We try not to.

I was referring to myself as a non-FP - in the context of Jeromes' challenge not to leave all the moderating to FPers.

Re: Isn't that part of the problem? (none / 1)

But the point is that scoop is configured to run on community moderation.

There is precious little of that these days.

Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith

The problem isn't with the scoop software (4.00 / 2)

the problem is with the quality of relationships and people's ability to sustain them under stressful circumstances. You can't help fix a relationship problem if the parties to the conflict are more comfortable keeping that conflict going and don't actually want it resolved just yet
