    ...so let's say someone joins, and 2 days later he has 300 (useless) posts and is a moderator handing out punishments.

    yeeeeah, no.

    Thanks for your feedback. Its on you and the others that are this opinion to fight back. Blaming some higher force is simpler i guess than trying to be actually helpful and write contributing posts, so others will do the same then ...

    What about a group of many users that are picked by the staff members to moderate posts. A system where a post must have a certain amount of votes from that group to be taken down to stop an individual having too much power. Just an idea.

    Let me put it like this. I have moderated forums for the last 10 years and i simply know by experience that people go nuts when they are in charge of punishing other people. That happens to new people and to people who are with us for 3 years with 10k posts. (heck i even saw 35+ year old family people going crazy).

    The post reporting thing should not be seen as a horror problem to solve. We can deal with it.

    @tdev I get the impression that what happened was my fault somehow, and I'm sorry. I never intended any hate by what I said.

    Although I may have to create a specific thread to have a better discussion of the Webm issue. (EDIT: I think I found an add-on that fixes Webm support. It's just supposed to turn links into embedded videos, but it seems to solve everything but maybe the buffering so far).

    Don't worry :)

    I created a separate subforum and restricted posting to team members only. Lets see how this works out

    I guess it is the same as making a member of the public run a country for the day. Never give power to the wrong hands.
