Advanced Uner-info for Mods
I said it earlier today in the suggestions channel already, but here is a better place for discussions
My idea was: a system that allows Mods to flag a user in a channel for suspicious behaviour - reprimands are easily forgotten and one Mod might miss the reprimand by another Mod of that channel.
So: a Mod should be able to flag said user with a smal note like "too much foul language" or "Has been abusing user x" that is readable by the other mods of the channel would allow for a much better moderation of the channels. A kick-history could also be implemented
This would allow the staff to realize whether a particular user is a system-wide abuser or not, in case that account should be suspended or not.

I’m a bit frustrated with a few users lately

Inappropriate?These type of features are being baked into the new version of the channels server. So you will be able to flag a user you follow, a user in a channel or a post or some media to be investigated. The idea is that by enough users flagging things we can build up an overall picture on the backend and know when to take action and suspend an account. This would be the "thumbs down" service.
We also want to make it possible to reward users and good posts so perhaps you can "thumbs up" a post or some media and that will then get posted to the channels web page and eventually to a best post of all time ranking.
I’m all for channelsNG

Inappropriate?While I'm at it: let me hijack my threat.
I have another idea that could be implemented into ngChannels. Channel Owners (or maybe Mods also) should have the ability to remove posts from the timeline if they contain unwanted material (abuse, offtopic, links to dubious pages...)
So far this is only possible for the server admins, but I think it could be usefull to keep BC (mostly) pg rated.
I’m maybe not participating in the hackathon but I still can voice my ideas

Inappropriate?would be also helpful to see, who actually has mod rights in a channel. At least the owner should be able to check that. Maybe the followers too.
I’m not able to tell, who my mods are

This is one of the best points

Good point. And if I interpreted Simons mock up of the Android client right that is a feature that is planned -
Inappropriate?I'd also like to see tas for channels - that way users could search for a general area of interest and not just for a specific channel name. Like tagging #heavymetal with "music, rock, metal" but #welovemusic with "music, general chat" and #metal with "music, rock, metal, german" so a user looking for "music" would get all three channels but a user looking for language specific channels (in this example: german channels) just would receive #metal
In my opinion that system is way better then a search just for channel names, since it delivers several results and the user can look for the result that fits hm best.
I’m certain that you'll have all my ideas by the end of the week

Inappropriate?And me again...
A nice feature would be a linklist in channels. So we don't have to tell every user that you can find good themes at tehkseven.net but that mods (and maybe users) can add their top picks to a list of links that are quickly available
This feature wouldn't be usefull for every channel, but some could profit from this
Maybe that could be something for the extended channel description that I saw in the Android mock up.
I’m running low on ideas I think...

Inappropriate?So, two ideas today
1) There should be a side channel to every channel where mods can discuss stuff without the regular people of the channel noticing it. Yet it may not be of much hep, but when you bring the article styled channels people could discuss new artcles in there and who may write what
2) Unsupervised/Unmoderated channels... there are some that just have their owner and no mods and now the owner is gone. I think you understand that it became pretty anarchic in those. My idea is: if there was no one with at least mod rights for, say two weeks, then the channel becomes locked down. No more posting possible by anybody. A user may apply by the team for channel ownership to reopen the channel. there should be a holiday setting, just in case a user knows he'll be offline for some time, that also locks the channel down but doesn't make it possible for others to apply for this channel
