Fried Spam (Oct 14 2003 23:29 GMT) - I went ahead and installed JayAllen.org's MT-Blacklist plug-in and hopefully that will cut the amount of comment spam down. It is still possible to manually create a new spam but this system targets the bastards... |

- Derek Powazek wrote an interesting piece last year about rating-based moderation systems: Gaming the system: How moderation tools can backfire. One of the most important lessons in online community management is that top-down management is seldom particularly successful in forcing people to act in a certain way. Certainly if the image of the community that the administrators wish to enforce is radically different from what the community itself wants, then the site is more likely to rip itself apart than to fall in line. |

- So what do you do when nothing else has worked and you're left with a board that is at the mercy of a persistent troublemaker? There aren't very many options. Firstly there's taking the situation to the ISP or workplace of the person concerned. But if they're that persistent, then it's not unlikely to think that they'll just take such a move as an escalation of hostilities. Contacting the police might be appropriate if you think you've got enough of a case to push for harrassment or something similar - but again, it's more than likely that it would just be read as an escalation of hostilities - and that's likely to make everything more serious and difficult to deal with in the long-term. |

- Multiple monitors increase productivity. Anyone who has visited Gizmodo HQ will know why we're posting about this: a study sponsored by NEC, ATI, and the University of Utah touting the productivity benefits of having multiple monitors connected to your PC. Normally we'd be somewhat suspect of a study like this, given that NEC (which makes monitors) and ATI (which makes video cards that make it possible to attach multiple monitors) both have a vested interest in having a study come out that encourages people to buy second monitors, but we've been using a dual-monitor setup for a while now and can attest to how incredibly useful it is to have all that extra real estate.
