Moderation of hits why and when?

Post by wouter »

There has been a lot of discussion about the moderation of hits lately. We should try to agree on how and when hits should be moderated.

There are some cases in which it is clear that the hits should be moderated:
- Serialist hits (someone enters long lists of (fake) serial numbers in order to get a hit.
- Everything to do with Pitler, Fr@uke/R@lf, woombel (aka Woombelism) like this or this
- 3 (or more) hit notes with only 2 people (like this
- hits between 2 people within like 24 hours but a distance of 1000 km
- hits with people in obvious fake countries like Vatican or Montenegro
- obvious fakes when notes are published somewhere like this

there are also hits in which case there might be some doubt
- hits in a short period of time. Like within 24 hours in the same town these hits can be real. but don't seem to be very interesting.
- Hits in the same town. Like two heavy users living in the same area, they will hit each other a lot.
- Hits within the family, one enters a note and his brother enters the same some hours later (I do think these should be moderated)
- there are a lot more of this sort but ii just can't think about them now... :oops:

Hits that shouldn't be moderated
- interesting hits over a long period of time or distance.
- international hits.

We should concentrate our discussion on the ‘doubt’ cases.

We can also discuss about how we want to show the hits on this site.
There are several options:
- Only an interesting Hit list (like now)
- A total hit list with al real hits.
- A list with truly interesting hits (long time/distance/international) and a separate list with al real hits (maybe there can be a link on the start page to the 3 latest hits).

I know this seems a bit of a boring and long story but I think we should now make good and adequate moderation methods.

This site is all about tracking.
A note tracked is called a hit.
It's as simple as that.

I suggest:

A list with all the hits of EBT history.
Hits can be voted towards being real (in %) The fake hits end at the bottom. A hit only enters the list with 5(just a number) or more votes.

A seperate list with interesting hits. This can be "forced" hits between EBT members. As long the story behind the hit is interesting. Like the hit below: a "forced" hit that has traveled all the way from Canada. >>> A wunderful story as long as you are honest about it.

What did all of you think of my hit, tell me the truth!

This is real, it was posted, but there was some suspicion over it.
It was when I was still in Canada.

Well it is a bit suspicious. the person you hit with TN4191 has got only 4 notes entered and all on the first day. How did he know to enter your note was the url written on it?

When I worked at the FX office here in Toronto he changed somewhere around 670 euro and I had the url on it and I said to enter it. There was a lot of discussion on this hit about 2 months ago.

Some time ago I started a thread about Greatest Hits. If you see a hit of which you think "Hey, that's a great hit", why not add a post there with the link and your comments. :P
