KGSStatus/ Discussion 2

Sub-page of KGSStatus

Proto: wms, I strongly ask that you do not make inability to censor assistants and admins a feature of KGS 2.6.11. This inhibits users' ability to check the choices (however wise) that other admins and super admins make. Being that this program is for the users, and that assists/admins are also people just like every other user, I don't see why an assistant or admin couldn't be on someone's "censor list." Imagine, as purely hypothetical that applebabie was made either an admin or assistant. applebabie is a user on many people's censor list (she isn't on mine, however; no one is on mine). She would be able to say anything she wants as long as you don't catch word of it and take action. This server must remain focused on the needs of the user. Therefore, the individual users must be able to place their own checks on their admins and assistants, lest they hypothetically abuse their power. I hope you see my point.

ZeroKun: I'd like to point out that the "No chat" feature doesn't work for us, and we are users too. This is for the sake of something happening and only you are on. Having admins/assistants uncensorable isn't bad if you don't censor them, why would you unless you've had problems with them before? I see no reason why a normal obedient user would care about this.

wms: The problem is that when an admin or assistant is cenosored, it makes their job harder. One reaction is, "if you censor an admin/assistant, then it is your problem, and you will get booted with no warning sometimes." But it also does make things harder for the a/a; if they wanted to simply ask to stop flooding, or something minor like that, usually it is very quick - the a/a asks, the person stops and says "ok", end of story. But when the a/a is censored, it can take minutes, because most a/a don't like to just boot for something so minor.

So, for now, I plan on not letting you censor admins or assistants.

Proto: How about this: regular users (as well as other assistants and admins) CAN censor regular kibitzing and room chat of admins and assists, but if they want to warn other users of abuse, it overrides the censor.

  • Warp: I think that's simple: Bold messages get always through, ie. bypass censor lists. I think that would actually make sense.
