Default An observation.

So, I have been a proud VB owner for about 2 months now and previous to that I was a keen YaBBer. I am new here so am still getting to grips with whats going on in and around the place but I have made one observation that is quite annoying me. Feel free to shoot me down, but I feel I must point this out to you and offer what I would consider as a reasonable solution.

I'm only talking about the VB3 section of the hacks section as that is the only area I have been looking around and installing hacks from, although I'm sure its the same in VB2.

When a hack is released there follows a mass of postings of errors/problems/arguments/rubbish.. resulting in large pages of duplicated things which is a nightmare to go through, causing even more postings of errors/problems/arguments/rubbish due to the fact that some people are to lazy to go through the previous 40+ pages of errors/problems/arguments/rubbish. Not only do the hack installers have to go through all this, but the Hack creator is expected to go through all this and weed out the useful bug reports/compliments.... it's not clean and it is certainly not efficient. I realise a moderator in no way could control all this that is happening at once, so, onto my proposed solution.

We trust a hacker to write and release a hack that we will then install.. So hows about we trust the said hacker to moderate his/her own thread..Thus bringing some control back into the thread and cleaning and tidying duplicate errors/questions so every page then becomes useful. We're all admins here after all so we should know what we are doing.

Now obviously this can be elaborated on as I haven't thought it entirely through but I hope you understand where I'm coming from.

not possible ... not everyone is the same...

a hacker wants to endorse their own hacks ...
if someone degrades the hack because of bad code, bad direction, sloppiness, etc, etc ... they can easily "remove" the said post ...which eventually will not help us make the "right" decision

as princeton already said, that cannot happen.

But we already have plans to make the Modification threads better organized, it's just the problem to write up the system, as everyone is very busy these days...

That, and the fact that you don't welcome help unless it's from someone willing to be a slave to the Staff and have no opinion on things whatsoever. :\

Not very useful either :sigh:

constructive criticism is one thing; slanderous remarks is another

I had a lot of constructive criticism, and a ton of good ideas that would benefit the community. But they didn't want to listen to them because of a few minor insults.
