Questions: (Please answer all questions and situations honestly)

• There is a very troublesome NMer causing quite a disruption, but technically they are not breaking the Rules of Play. How would you handle the situation?
• A NMer is posting opinions you strongly disagree with. What do you do?
• You suspect that a NMer has created a new NName to perhaps stir up a bit of trouble. In doing research, you find out that this is true. Other NMers have also wondered if the NMer has done this. How would you respond to NMer inquiries?

If you have any questions, suggestions or feedback please post them here or email us at jobs@youthnoisemail.com.

Being a YN moderator eh.....hmmmmm...

Thank you, Hydrok.

all an IP does is give you a general location... Like my IP will yield a South Central Texas result... So unless you subpeona the ISP you can never find an exact address... IP's are important to making sure repeat offenders don't show back up and cause problems... it makes it easy just to delete their new account with minimal trouble.

IP addresses at schools are variable as well... most of the time when the server resets itself during any maintainence it will yield a different last 4 numbers... so I wouldn't be worried too much.

please dont tell me you think IP address is sensitive, knowing IP addresses is vital to running the board, its so we can see if there are mulitple accounts under the same one.

What happens if there are many running accounts of a single IP? Like at my school, where because all internet access comes through the main server, we all seem to have the same IP?

Why did you bring this up again???

It's a nice thought - too bad it doesn't work.

Heinlein addressed this issue quite nicely in "Stranger in a Strange Land" - What happens if you meet a masochist who follows your rule?

Life is too complicated for the classic "Golden Rule" to work. I prefer Nash's concept - "the best outcome is acheived when the individual does what is best for themselves and the group". Mathematically and economically proven, this rule is why you should never listen to anyone espousing "classical" capitalism - it simply doesn't work.

Do you make multiple accounts?

I have a few.

To find out where the IP address is coming from you need to file a police report and they have to get a supina in order for the ISP to tell who it is. Knowing someone's IP address does nothing except identify your computer with a number. There is no way for you or I to figure out what computer the IP address is coming from.

like SS#, street address, and phone number?

What can we do with an IP address? the only thing we can do is finger you (which I'm sure no one on here knows how to do) and it would just tell us the location and contact info of your ISP.

Lets say you were posting child porn, or threatining to blow up a building, we would contact your ISP tell them one of their users is doing this, and its up to them to contact the FBI.

Are you against protecting america?

After talking with YNLissa I am fine. All of my apprehensions are non-applicable.

Agreed.

Look, the YN staff chose who they felt were right for the job. It was a hard decision for them to make since there were so many people deserving and worthy of it but they had to make a decision that they thought was best. Their minds aren't changing any time soon so it's absolutely pointless to argue this. Please accept the decision that was made and let it be. If anything happens that makes them regret their decision, I promise you they won't keep anyone on board that isn't obeying the rules. So really there is no reason for anyone to be worked up.

Everyone needs to chill out.

Oh, now it's that?

We don't know if they'll get the "full rights" as the other mods do.

of course, someone jumping the gun, and can't wait a few months to see how things turn out. It was expected, it was going pretty smoothly then of course theres going to be that bump in the road, hope youre not surprised, and I'm actually surprised only one person from the coalition had something to say.

I'm not surprised. A bit disappointed, yes, but not surprised.

FML, if you're so upset about it, why didn't you just apply? As bauhaus has stated previously, they chose a group of people so that we wouldn't go nuts and start a tyranny.

It's not about liberals and conservatives. It's about proprietary information being accessed.

He got the friggin' modship or whatever for a reason. I doubt they did the papers-with-names-in-the-hat method.

Just drop it already. No one here has respected ALL the rules of the forum.

If you look it at it, they got a pretty diverse group of mods as well. Which is awesome. If they chose only liberals or conservatives or whatever it'd unbalance YN.
