# my picture was meant to be tongue-in-cheek
I guess that didn't go across too well :(

this place is great and I wouldn't have the FP selection process changed in any way, as said further down in this thread if there were voting for FP's this place would go to pot - fast

# :)
someone should badger the government for a grant to develop new smileys, tongue-in-cheek, sarcasm, etc.

# "face like a plasterer's radio"

# hehe
I reckon there should be an 'I like this!' button on new thread posts, and when it gets enough clicks, it goes on the front page.

# Sorry.
I'll take my radical ideas and burn them in some sort of fire-proof tin.

# plus
most people have shit taste, i'm pretty sure i do

edit: though i do think a few more mods are needed for some times of the day, maybe an american or two

# If the button existed (and who's to say it doesn't)
anything you would vote for would be less than 20k

;)

# I agree with that
there's lots of night/gay shift pictures that really are superb that tend to get missed. They'll only get frontpaged if a mod feels like spazzing back.

# How many mods are there
does anyone know?

I asked this before and something happened, can't remember what

# Somebody does know
I seem to remember quite a while back that someone said there was somethign like about 20, though they could of been bullshitting.

# probably nothing happened
i don't think anyone ever kept track of who the mods are, and it doesn't really matter anyway. if you pay attention when something gets FP'd you can figure out some of them, but really, it's better if no one knew
(I helped save b3ta! Or is it?, Sun 18 Apr 2004, 17:46, archived)
# I agree again
Personally I think the mods do a good job (99% of the time)

# If i were a mod i'd have a hard time
keeping quiet about it

EDIT: surely it's organised in such a way that someone is always "on duty"

# Which may be why you're not
or is htis a cunning double bluff?

edit: No, you cant guarantee that.

# I'll agree with that
i definately think there should be more american mods. perhaps some college student in Virginia.... or somtehing.

# at least with the current system
people who don't get on the front page can just keep thinking "I would get there if there was democracy"

like me ;)

# but then the army of twunts
would click on all the shite ones to get them on the front page

# You'd then see a huge influx of new memebers/alt IDs
just for OKing pictures to the frontpage.

# would be good
but you'd get silly people with multiple accounts front paging themselves
(DeviousMiscreant, Sun 18 Apr 2004, 17:39, archived)
# Hmm
Maybe then you'd have to have to code it so that when a certain percentage of every user online has clicked it, it gets front paged. Just a thought anyway.

EDIT: Or you could give the privilage of an 'I like this!' button only to users with over say, 500 posts.
