its clear to me that the current mod team is about as effective as an impacted bowel, and so radical reform is needed. I feel as though we should have a federal structure for leftypol. I.E. reorganize the matrix chat so that we have one room per board. Instead of having site wide mods we would have each board be governed by a single mod (for slower boards) or a clique of mods who share power. Each mod/mod clique could make their own decisions about who to bring on as janitors under them. Unlike now, those janitors would only be invited to the proper board-related room, and would not simply be junior mods non probation but instead would be perma-jannies.

Developers/IT people and Administrators would still have site-wide power.

In order to break up the traffic to multiple boards, /leftypol/ would simply become the name of the overboard/site itself, and we could have in addition to a brazilian board, other boards for geopolitics, /edu/ would be renamed /theory/, etc.

I feel this would be a good thing because currently you have a ton of inactive or semi inactive mods who just hang out in the matrix all day and don't actually mod. Giving them their own little project/fiefdom would encourage them to clean up the thumbnail graveyard, and actually do maintenance on the alt boards.

you could have performance based metrics, using PPH / IPs on the front page you could measure if the mod is doing a good job by whether they have driven more traffic to their board over time while maintaining quality. If they do a good job they can get responsibility over another board of their choice, if not they will lose out to someone who does.

which would help have more 24/7 coverage.

>>36235
>I never suggested larger boards should only have 1 mod. In the OP i said you have have a clique of mods instead of one, especially for higher traffic boards.

I mean sure but this would necessarily mean that not all the mods we have on staff would be able to mod all boards. Which IMO is bad for coverage.

>giving particular mods control of particular boards encourages accountability.


I mean yeah I kinda agree on this, which is why I said above that maybe we can appoint a mod for each board (probably not leftypol because it's too big), and they will have special responsibility for it, but not that only they can mod it.

>The reason is because when every mod controls every board you have a bunch of free riders.


I mean is free riders really an issue? Not like anyone's getting paid here.

>Lets take your example of the CP on a low population board. The reality is that an admin would likely be the one to remove that even today. The same people who are admins now, would be the ones removing it in reality already.


Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Here is an idea for more mod coverage. Why not give OP's weak mod power within their own thread.

Like this: They can't delete posts or images by others, but they can hide things from view. And anybody can see that it's the OP that did it. Posts get replaced with "message hidden by OP" and image spoilers added by OP get their own special graphic. And anybody can reveal for themselves all posts hidden by OP by just clicking a button.

>>36262
thats cool but would probably require some software work since afaik no current imageboard works this way

>>36262
I've been here from day fucking one show me some respect or I will put you in the ground.

Okay, so on 7chan there exists a board called /jew/-Thrifty Living. Basically, as the name suggests, its a board about how to survive as a broke ass prole. Some of the more interesting threads on that board are the DIY threads that teach you how to save money or make some side cash by using life hacks.

It would make sense to have a board like this on leftypol where a sizable chunk of the userbase struggles economically in one way or the other (especially with the decline of the labor aristocracy in places like the US + other countries). Think of it as a board where proles share notes on how to live a better life under The Man's system. You could call it something like /pl/ - proletarian living. Sharing knowledge on how to survive and thrive is just basic praxis and solidarity as far as I'm concerned.

>>36227
Maybe you can make a /poor/ thread first and see how that goes first.

Seems general material ngl

>>36229
>>36245
Yeah you guys are right I don't know why I thought we should have an entire board when a gen thread would suffice. The question now is what board would that go under: siberia or leftypol?

>>36248
I think it can go on leftypol since it's at least kinda leftism related

>>36251
Siberia since on /leftypol/ it will inevitably devolve into argument whether buying fresh vegetable is a first world labour aristocrat decadence.

Cool flags. I have a fork of the leftypol code so I'll try and make a request to merge it to the mainstream code, but like I said earlier (>>36173) the Dev team all have lives outside their volunteering, and they use what time they can spare for the site to, no offense, work on more crucial issues.

The mods are thinking there are too many generals and we should uncycle some. Thoughts?
85 posts and 7 image replies omitted.

literally the worst possible choice, keep the generals but uncycled (???)
unusable site

>>36174
>>36179
mods voted by majority to uncycle all threads and stop enforcing generals.

>>36183
I should have made a post announcing this, will do it tomorrow as I'm going to bed

>>36183
and now all the boards are pure slide garbage threads
good job

It was never meant to be a left-wing version of /pol/, but an offshoot of /lit/ focused on Marxist theory.

Most posters now haven't even read the Communist Manifesto.

>>36070
well the reason its called leftypol is because it was meant to not be 'politically correct' i.e. tumblr era radlib/""sjw"". meaning performative identity politics to the exclusion of all else.

>>36070
>marxist literature chan with 3 users
<a broad open forum for multiple leftist ideologies with 300 users

leftylit would just be a worse version of 4chud /lit/ and you know it. 99% of lefties don't read and the 1% that does reads the same authors.

>>36070
>he believed the myth pushed by e-celebs to sanitize the site for their friends on twitter

Most havent even read it back then.


>>36161
LeftyPol in general is just chuddies wa ing a hammer-and-sickle.

Ultimatum to modocracy:

Eval-ing the arguments or embedding a context free language in the dice roll code don't seem like particularly good ideas and the usecases are marginal.

we do need turing complete dice rolls, actually

>>36146
Arithmetic expressions aren't turing complete. You'd need to use unix dc as a base for example.

>>36147
>Arithmetic expressions
? I said turing complete

>>36148
Then my suggestion for turing complete dice rolls is to reimplement dc in php but with r as a dice roll operator. I could do this in a few hours if i knew php.

Noted, it was a broken filter. Reverted as soon as I noticed

For some reason , despite good internet connection, not being banned, and having been able to earlier, most images aren't loading for me, and not just on one board.

The site's server failed and the mods never bothered to do backups, so any image posted before mid-september is lost to the ether.

>>35961
We did do backups, we just can't access them due to the old admin being AFK

>>35962
If you can't access them then they're not exactly backups… that's like having a spare key cut and then flushing it down the toilet.

>>35967
I agree it's not good but hindsight is 50:50. Previously the old admin showed up in a few days when we needed him. Just saying we did do backups.

worldfiltering chinlet is literally homophobic

do gayfags have small chins now?

i'm starting to feel 50-50 on removing the ĉud wordfilter.
ĉud has sorta remained in normie vocabulary, while chinlet is /leftypol/ culture.

Wait seriously?
chinlet



 

Can you make /dead/ black and white again?

probably loss of java script take it to the tech feedback thread

It was cool but it breaks the site client side

it randomly happened on /sfw/ too

>>35884
It was not random it happened when the last thread on any of the overboards was from /dead/.
