I think your concern might be unfounded. All NTSE mods would be able to approve a post, but it's not like anything would be "rejected." The "rejected" posts just sit there behind a mod wall being unapproved.The only problem I foresee occuring is that, well, not all of the moderators on Star Army have the same definition of "helpful" - and in my opinion a few of them believe that some help is "more equal" then others. In the event someone's post is rejected, @Wes, would it be possible for that person to see who rejected their post?

I just want to confirm, from my last time being Staffer, that this is true. You're put in as a referee, but you have no claws. As NTSE mod, you have your words, your tag and the Staffers that are backing you (whom only had more power by virtue of their stag and being able to see reports). All the moves, all the locks, that was recently on the admins only.
So far as I know, I'm the only staffer with the level of power I have... and that's because I'm highly active and volunteered to help Wes more.
That said, I'm not really in approval of the post-by-post moderation thing. I've seen how it works for news post, and it's actually something very labor-intensive that's likely to fall only on Wes and me. And part of my goal of being in this position is giving Wes less work.
There was a point in SARP where people were able to better behave themselves. Where this wasn't necessary. I still believe in people; why have you stopped? Just move forward and try to be better.
That's definitely a concern, good point. But will it be an issue? I can't imagine any of the initial points I've ever brought up not being approved by one mod or another, nor yours, and the new system basically makes it so anything that gets through carries the weight of a reviewer's own concern. And if there are good points that the mods believe are said poorly, the mods can see those good points and re-state them themselves.Given that it wouldn't be publicly visible, wouldn't that effectively be the same as rejecting it? Worse, what if someone notices something wrong with a submission, submits a post, then - while the post is still in "limbo" - watches as the submission is approved?
I think this is primarily why Syaoran opposed it as well. It's only one apparent flaw with likely more beneath the surface. There's also more of the supposed fear of bias and potential drama if people know they could have been ignored. Or it'll force NTSE to look at every submission more... which I find a bit anti-productive in the long run, as it means people will need to be checking and it could even lead to conflict between NTSE mebmers.That would be a flaw of that system that the person submitting to the topic would indeed face, yes.
I've been under the assumption that every NTSE mod and staffer could approve posts. That's the only way it actually works. Otherwise, it fixes nothing.assuming the NTSE mod who's reviewing is the one allowed to moderate their own thread
Still need to receive my feedback tag, lolI'll give things a shot tonight or tomorrow. I think Meta and Arbs should have access so they can give feedback as well though. Every bit helps.
Past contributions not withstanding, Bob would've been shown the door for workplace harassment and garbage attitude awhile ago but for extenuating factors. Packaged deals sometimes go that way.But I'm Bob from the foundation board who has previously been the editor of several sections, is still the editor of several sections, was here through the paper's rough years and helped it become what it is, and has had more current editors show an appreciation for his help than do not.
