    tPF Town Hall 12/10-11/2016

    This will be an open meeting during which members can ask questions and state complaints, and moderators will try to respond. Feel free to ask any questions and make any complaints. However, the town hall will be strictly moderated. We can talk about trolls and trolling but you can't talk about members. We can talk about moderation in general but not any specific moderation action.


    Clarification: The town hall is this thread.

    We recently added a trolling rules supplied us by VIPs: "2. Trolling a poster or a thread is against the rules. Trolling is defined by forum leadership as "deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them."" See http://thepoliticalforums.com/thread...nd-Regulations

    Some mod discussion has agreed there needs to be a pattern of that to determine deliberateness.

    What is a vip? What powers do they have? Why are they special? Why do they get to select themselves? Why isn't there a periodic open vote?

    A member recognized for contributions made with good faith behavior.

    VIPs are responsible for designing the forum. They can, by consensus, decide a rule, like they did with the trolling rule.

    Who better to elect VIPs than other VIPs.

    Opening VIPs to more is something to consider.
