From the Q&A Board: About the stock boards

"Ok, folks, here's a look at the proposed new handbook guidelines for the rules. Looking for constructive feedback and comments:

Handbook - Revised Rules - Draft 6/23

Deletions of Posts-Stock Specific Boards
Duplicate
This is an accidental duplicate post by a single Member. This does not mean a similar message posted previously or the same content posted by a different Member

Personal Attack
Posts that victimize, harass, degrade, or intimidate an individual or group of individuals on the basis of:
Religion
Gender
Sexual orientation
Race
Ethnicity
Age
Disability

Spam
Excessively posting the same or similar content to multiple boards within a calendar day;
Tagging a message or link that has little or nothing to do with the stock.
Links to promotion content must include free, informative and actionable content i.e. not behind a paywall or requires registration
Posts containing content promoting other sites i.e. “Go to xxxx.com to discuss further”

Off-Topic
Posts about Moderators and/or deletions. Issues of this nature need to be discussed with a Site Admin
Posts about minors
Egregious religious or political statements should be removed because they derail the conversation.
Examples of benign religious statements that generally do not incite an all out religious discussion include: “Bless you all”, “Namaste” or “Merry Christmas!”, etc.
“The right wing Christian conservative zealots need to shut up” or “Those woke lib shitheads will get their own in the end” should be removed.
“The Senate votes on that bill today”, “Likely that the Pres will veto that”, “Since Rep have the House, I’m sure that will pass. Getting through the Dem Senate will be another story” - are examples of benign political statements.

Vulgarity (The "PG13" standard is loosely used as a guideline to what is/isn't acceptable when determining whether a comment is vulgar. If society has deemed it appropriate for a 13 year old to hear, it is unlikely that it will be offensive to the majority of Users.)
Vulgarity or slurs targeting other Users who are not-self-disclosed public figures.
No full nudity or scantily clad photos

Author Asked to Remove

When a Member has specifically asked that a post be removed and has cited a valid reason for removal, such as accidentally revealing personal information. This is an occasional accommodation and is not to be used to "mask" the removal of bona fide TOS violations. If you are asked as a Moderator to remove more than 2 messages as Author Request, please send the User to discuss with Admin. As well, Moderators should not be removing their own posts en masse This is considered an abuse of the Moderator privilege and could result in Moderator removal.
Messages over 48 hours old are not removed, even when requested by the Author, unless there are extreme circumstances (i.e. accidentally revealing an account number).

Violation of Privacy
Posting of what the Member believes to be any personally identifiable information (“PII”) (email, real name, phone, address, etc.) about another User is a privacy violation. For example, if a Member posts that "XYZDownDaDrain is actually Bob Smith", whether the information is accurate is irrelevant. The Member was trying to disclose PII. This is a serious violation and can get you suspended or terminated from the site.
Posting or referring to the contents of private messages without the author's prior consent is considered a violation of privacy and can get the User suspended or terminated from the site.

Threats
Threats or insinuations of violence or physical harm against anyone is a serious infraction and can get you suspended or terminated from the site.

As always: iHub reserves the right to remove or restore posts at its sole discretion. It is members' responsibility to bring violations of the Terms by other members to iHub's attention via the Report TOS violation feature, although iHub does not guarantee any action based on such information."

iHub have announced that they are in the process of “discussing mainstreaming the rules to fit more in line with the way social media had evolved over the years.”
They said” After years of thought and discussion, though, we've been given the green light to move forward on this. We are pretty set on what the rules will look like going forward, but willing to consider thoughts and ideas.”

It was suggested by 1 or 2 that we could bring the conversation here..

Further to the discussion from the Q&A Board

"On the Stock Boards here if one wants to get a post removed you can do so with 3 clicks of the mouse to report it with no explanation and then forget about it. Gone

On other stock websites to control this:.... 2 clicks or more takes you to the type of report, gives you 11 choices of “type of report” , 3rd click to choose the type….. then requires you to give a few additional details, to explain….then after you entered the explanation you click “report” to file your complaint.

You cannot send a report without adding at least a brief explanation.

Other websites, by making it just a tiny bit more difficult like that, have found that the number of reports drop considerably.

Re: #138: @delerious1 - About that discussion going on the QA board

Huh? What does the # of mods have to do with "continuity" ?
Sounds like the equivalent of reducing police enforcement of unsafe driving because it slows down traffic.

Some boards have flame wars and need lots of mod attention. 1 mod can't be active on a board 24/7.

My suggestion would be to keep the structure the same, but replace mods who fit a tighter (or is it looser?) definition of inactive.

Re: #138: @delerious1 - About that discussion going on the QA board

We already track moderator performance. Board moderators are posters who volunteer to moderate. Expecting one moderator to keep up with a busy board is a bit much and having several is not only common practice but allows for checks and balances within the moderators themselves.

Aside from that, this board is for random conversations that get started on the Q&A board that don’t actually have anything to do with the Q&A board.

About that discussion going on the QA board about changes to iHub boards.

Another idea is to have just 1 mod per board. This would give the board more continuity and allow admin to easily monitor/track a mod's performance

Thanks,

What about, on the stock boards showing how many reads each post gets. Just a number in brackets beside the post that would show members how many reads their post gets or others

Is that little girl a public figure?

Why don't you answer what is wrong in this depiction? This child according to the poster "knows this is wrong"

The little girl was at a very public event in the Rose Garden, where Biden signed a bill honoring the police who defended the Capitol on January 6. She had a ball, and got to hand out the pens. Her brother also had fun; at one point he was practically organizing the event.

And their parents were only a few feet away. So Freddie is, as usual, just making a fool of himself.

Does 'making a fool of himself' give one the license to disparage kids and presidents? And stretch the limits of public decency to propagate hatred and bigotry?

At what point does libel get beyond this websites cocoon of protection?
Not a single member wants that post to remain for what it represents, and this websites says that members are the deciding factors for content, yet it remains. Did everyone agree this is a reprehensible post that should be removed? The member is reprehensible themselves, a personal contention of people, and probably may not be sanctioned against but the post certainly has no reason for being. Was the post done with malice? I would say so, but that's just my own opinion. And maybe not litigatable and posted through a third party on the internet.

libel

1) n. to publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, an untruth about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by tending to bring the target into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. Libel is the written or broadcast form of defamation, distinguished from slander which is oral defamation. It is a tort (civil wrong) making the person or entity (like a newspaper, magazine or political organization) open to a lawsuit for damages by the person who can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only be to one person, but it must be a statement which claims to be fact, and is not clearly identified as an opinion. While it is sometimes said that the person making the libelous statement must have been intentional and malicious, actually it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue. Proof of malice, however, does allow a party defamed to sue for "general damages" for damage to reputation, while an inadvertent libel limits the damages to actual harm (such as loss of business) called "special damages." "Libel per se" involves statements so vicious that malice is assumed and does not require a proof of intent to get an award of general damages. Libel against the reputation of a person who has died will allow surviving members of the family to bring an action for damages. Most states provide for a party defamed by a periodical to demand a published retraction. If the correction is made, then there is no right to file a lawsuit. Governmental bodies are supposedly immune for actions for libel on the basis that there could be no intent by a non-personal entity, and further, public records are exempt from claims of libel. However, there is at least one known case in which there was a financial settlement as well as a published correction when a state government newsletter incorrectly stated that a dentist had been disciplined for illegal conduct. The rules covering libel against a "public figure" (particularly a political or governmental person) are special, based on U. S. Supreme Court decisions. The key is that to uphold the right to express opinions or fair comment on public figures, the libel must be malicious to constitute grounds for a lawsuit for damages. Minor errors in reporting are not libel, such as saying Mrs. Jones was 55 when she was only 48, or getting an address or title incorrect. 2) v. to broadcast or publish a written defamatory statement.

Public Figure
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Wikipedia.
Public Figure

A description applied in Libel and Slander actions, as well as in those alleging invasion of privacy, to anyone who has gained prominence in the community as a result of his or her name or exploits, whether willingly or unwillingly.

If a plaintiff in a libel or slander action qualifies as a public figure, he or she must show that the libelous or slanderous conduct of the defendant was motivated out of actual malice as required in the case of new york times co. v. sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S.Ct. 710, 11 L.Ed.2d 686 (1964).
West's Encyclopedia of American Law, edition 2. Copyright 2008 The Gale Group, Inc. All rights reserved.
public figure

n. in the law of defamation (libel and slander), a personage of great public interest or familiarity like a government official, politician, celebrity, business leader, movie star, or sports hero. Incorrect harmful statements published about a public figure cannot be the basis of a lawsuit for defamation unless there is proof that the writer or publisher intentionally defamed the person with malice (hate).
