This is just a friendly reminder to all regulars of the comments section that profanity, personal insults and postings that otherwise violate ANN's guidelines can and will be deleted. Today, I implemented code to allow Christope and Teemu to moderate comments, which should ensure stricter enforcement of the posting guidelines and eliminate some of the noise.
I'm also working on a "trusted user" system, that would allow regular visitors to authenticate with me and have their name or nickname reserved. This will be optional. Since this is still work-in-prgress, comments on this subject are most welcome - especially on how the authentication could work.

I can say that things was better before on the net, maybe it's have something to do with the fact that there are a lot more people around nowdays. I can still remeber those days when I got my e-mail address (then one you can still reach me with), I didn't get SPAM, at least not the first couple of years, and yes, I was active and my e-mail was used. Nowdays I get a lot of spam, so much that I have to filter quite a lot or else I do not have a chance to read mail written to me.
In the same way, the number of flames and fakes has increased here at ANN. Be aware that I'm not saying that this kind of things didn't happen "before", but it's increased. If it had been on a low level, I don't think Christian would have spent time on this "trused user" system.
As I understod Christians intention with the "truested user" was to prevent others to claim to be someone else. As ANN is today and I guess it will be in the future too, it will be free speech as long as you follow nettiquet. |
