Nope, we are a team but we have many different personalities and moderating styles. Some applaud more than others. That said, the applause, like all
other staff functions are totally transparent. It's all logged. The entire staff can see them. The bottom line on both positive and negative
reinforcement is for the betterment of the board for all members.
Thank you for the quick response.
Question if I may ask, how is what is for the betterment of the board for all members actually determined?
A governing body?
Just the owners, advertisers or others??
I actually understand the need for rules, and I am impressed with how well it all works here, I also understand that this kind of mind control could
be far less nefarious than some may think, it could simply be all about keeping order, keeping everyone on topic etc. and most of all it has
advantages in marketing, sales and advertising.
However, it may be possible that it is an experiment of sorts, at the expense of unknowing users, if so that seems wrong and leaves open the potential
for much more sinister uses.
