What is the time commitment in/difference between GA-ing vs mod-ing?

GAs just report things, try and redirect a thread that might otherwise go downhill, things like that. It helps them get an idea of how things are enforced. They help out the mods, basically. It gives them an idea of how things are enforced and why.

If someone wants to mod being a GA helps them know more about it and if they actually want to mod. It also helps the mods/admins get to know someone a bit better before they have "powers" and more access.

GA commitment isn't really set, we ask the mods for approx five hours a week but of course they take time off when they need it.

Now I am confused again.

But warnings do?



I still think there should be a timeline.

I called someone a mule indirectly and got in trouble when I first came on here : I have grown alot since! : That was FIVE years ago almost. :

That is so sensible! I can think of a few other sites that could use that system. I think sometimes people get mod'd too easily, before anyone can see what they are like 'with all the power' and whatnot.

And five hours a week? Hmm....there are mamas here that can accomplish that in a DAY...what with bb naptime, nightime nursing etc LOL

Not that I can think of anyone like that or anything *sheepish*

Just for clarification, all this new system will do is keep track of violations and automatically suspend/ban members for a set amount of time based on the already existing UA? This sounds like an excellent plan. What a hassle for the mods to have to deal with if it hasn't been automated already.

However, I read it differently initially. It isn't going to automatically identify violations, right?

Oh no, it won't id violations. That would be high tech (and a bit scary)

Good, that's what I was telling myself, but I had to ask. That would certainly be a programming nightmare and generally scary as well, but I imagine it would save the mods time so to speak .

A couple questions:

1. If it is automated, is there a parsing program that "looks" for certain words/word combinations or does a human actually look at the post in question?

2. What is there, really, to stop someone who gets their account banned from just creating a new account? (said by someone infamous IRL for the Open Mouth, Insert Foot maneuver)

no people look at the posts, we don't have any program like that in place, that would be scary.


Nothing stops them from creating a new one. We can figure out who it is sometimes and then we take appropriate action.
