Dear site admins and mods,
could you please add an auto-moderation option - "Dislike" button - to the forums?
It should work opposite way as "Thanks": if thread reaches some negative feedback threshold (let say, total 30 negative feedbacks), thread should be automatically closed and moved to the "junk" or "trash" forum, and OP should receive -1 to his reputation (i.e. "Thanks Meter") or may be increase some special "spam or flood" meter.
Thanks!

I've clicked on the "View forum leaders" at the bottom of the page and got a question. Some assigned moderators (for example: first moderator on the list is +Que PPC) were shown as "Senior member" rather than "moderator" in their user profiles or posts. In this case, it is difficult to know if s/he is a mod or not in each of his/her post. Why? Any hidden agenda?
It's because the mods specific to Chef central don't have a title they only moderate the specific area same as forum specific mods but they will have a title next to name and can only moderate the specific area appointed, then Senior\Committee mods can moderate everywhere on the forum.
No hidden agenda.
So do the Chef central mods (without title) have the same power as other specific mod (such as closing thread, banning member etc)? Or they will be titled first before having power same as other mods?
In addition, I've seen that we have different types of mod now. What are the main differences of power between specific forum mod, senior moderator and Moderator Committee?
Thanks
The folks who moderate in CC (ex: Que PPC) should have their status (titles) changed to indicate that they moderate in CC. A note has been sent to the XDA Admins regarding this.
Moderator types:
Forum Moderator (New): moderates one or more sub-forums; usually devices forums but in some cases, generic forums such as CC. Can only moderate thread/posts in assigned sub-forums.
Moderator: moderates all of XDA, can apply account suspensions. This is the original moderator status.
Moderator Committee (New): group of moderators who have been assigned extra duties.
Cheers,
Thanks for explanation...
Regards
This is a quote from another post i made in another thread. The reason i decided to make this into a thread is because i honestly dont think a lot of people read a very old thread for requests. Please reply with a real opinion.

The admins say this is our forum,why not give us some control? Not mod permissions or admin permissions but our own 'personal' permissions. There's a vb mod called the "Comprehensive Ignore System" it can do these things for users :
users can ignore entire threads. These threads will then not show up in searches, forumdisplay, and "new posts".
if a user puts someone on their ignored list, they stay ignored, meaning their threads will not show up in forum displays, searches, or "new posts".
Users can ignore threads with certain tags.
Users can select to ignore an entire forum, so that they no longer see it, nor do search results that are located in those forums show to the user.
Complete user group control for each of these features.
Admin can also clear a users ignores when editing a user.
Users can review and remove ignores from their UserCP.

Click to collapse
This can give us power over our forum without giving us the power to control others, but control what we see.

There's also an addon to the above mod called "Users on ignore list cannot reply to thread" and it can do this:
If a user is on the thread starters ignore list, that user cannot reply to the thread, or quickreply. This of course is bypassed by moderators and admins.

Click to collapse
This will allow developers to ignore other people they see as incompetent and not helpful to the cause in the thread but those uses on the list can still view it.

As was announced last week, Operation:Iron Fist is in full effect. Read about it here.
With that being said, the following will begin to happen:
1. All non-development threads started in the Development section will be moved to the appropriate section and/or closed and the "responsible" poster (in quotes because the fact they posted in the wrong section clearly brings into question whether or not they are responsible) will be infracted.
2. Any abusive posts directed at any user will be deleted and the abuser will be infracted and/or given a temporary vacation. Multiple instances will result in a longer leave-of-absence, and if it continues you will be removed from XDA. You, and your behavior, are not welcome at XDA.
3. Any off-topic posts in the Development section threads will be deleted. These are non-helpful, and certainly not development posts. This includes the following:
"OMG THIS IS SO GREAT!"
"WOW! YOU ROCK AND I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!"
"THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!"
"THANKS FOR THIS!"
If you want to thank someone for their work, do so by clicking the "THANKS" button on their post.
4. Any post, in any section, that is done to further post count will be deleted and you will face possible infraction.
5. Anything else that goes against the XDA Forum Rules and XDA Mantra will be dealt with firmly, but fairly.

The idea in this section is for developers (not only recognized developers, but all developers) to have a place for discussion threads to "talk shop." What kind of talk? Some topics (that I'm making up as I type this) might include (and are certainly not limited to):
Overriding the power widget in the notification dropdown
Considerations of using gcc versions other than 4.4.3 for compiling the kernel
Exynos: discussion on working around the SOC wake from sleep delay
This isn't a Q&A forum. However, developers might kick off discussions with a question. The difference? This belongs in Q&A: "My phone wakes up slow, will it go faster if I take my sdcard out?" On the other hand, the following might belong in this new section: "Has anyone tried adjusting the mmc detection timeouts to see if there's an impact on the SOC wakeup delays?" The assumption here is that the person asking the latter question actually knows what a mmc detection timeout is, how they'd change it, and has started to play around with it before posting the question.
As well, this section is not for posting finished products or "advertising" of kernels, apps, etc. This section is to discuss the process, not for the end result.
The hope is that developers can discuss things here instead of resorting the various other methods of communication we've used. At the same time, newer developers and even non-developers can LEARN from the conversations and eventually participate.
This section will be very closely moderated by moderators who are also developers and non-development discussion will be harshly dealt with.
We REALLY hope this will encourage more devs to spend time with open communication. This is XDA-Developers. Let's do development.
