I quite understand old boy, there are a few bad apples in every barrel, but the main crop are rather delish.

If the majority voted for my posts to be deleted or sent to garbage i would be more than happy with that decision,Because it will be the choice of the majority of esato members.
axxxr, so in theory... if a handful of membersform a cartel and gang up against a certain person and decice to have the so called "angry mob" mentality, they can cause a lot of damage to a person's views/posts.
or it could be the the other way round as well, where the mods decide to delete a thread/posts and the cartel will oppose it and get the votes it requires.
it does sound pretty far fetched, but it might be reality one day.

Maybe we should all vote on if this thread should be cancelled!
This voting method could be used for 'debateable' threads the mods aren't sure about, not as either a replacement to them or a way of vetting all threads.
There could be a problem though if a certain 'gang' of members started ganging up on someone, there needs to be a system that stops that.

What do you mean by gang members,Cartel?..You think esato has been taken over by the mafia or the yakuza?
Even though their are few shallow people in esato..I think the majority of members on esato are much more sensible than that.They will vote responsibly and not "gang up" as you put it..However i think we can make the voting system work if implemented correctly.

I agree with Sammy_boy, it could be used as a means of resolving disputes. If we try it and it doesn't work, we can always stop using it.

@axxxr how will you know we have quorum for a decision? I think Aristotel said: "the only thing worse than democraty is tyranny."

I don't think the purpose of this thread was to enter into a philosophical debate about the nature of democracy through the ages.
Incidentally, Churchill said that "Democracy is the worst form of government except for all those others that have been tried."

I think teh point of having moderators has to be that they decide what to do with threads and consult
eachother and the admin in cases of doubt. I think a popular vote or referendum would only add to the confusion and besides... this is an internet forum. how big a deal is it really when a thread is deleted/moved/locked?

It is a tremendous deal to someone like myself, who has absolutely no life outside of Esato; as you well know!
