I recently hit level 6 and have noticed I can now now approve or disapprove people's comments on other posts. I had no idea that was the way levels worked.

Damn, I just hit level 5 and found out my posts go live immediately. Didn't even realize the previous posts didn't.

I just like to share my notsohumbleopinions a lot lol

I hope when I make level 6 god grants me the wisdom to make the right judgments.

Yes... you have been noted as a responsible forum leader. Use this privilege to continue the maturity of our forum.

Yup. Essentially, @silvereyes is now our god.

@silvereyes Not our god, then.... our benevolent overlord? Is that better, Your Magnificence?

Hmm, that's good to know. Thanks for that info.

I've only approved everything so far, none of it was harmful. It's not a bad idea to use peer approval, but I suppose it could be abused.

if you don't approve it goes to admin for consideration

I'm close to level 6. I don't agree with censorship. I will not be using that feature unless someone is obviously being disruptive.

Yup! I think probably all of us understand free speech and approve approve approve. I think if somebody was not approving comments that should be approved, @admin would yank the approving privilege in a jif.

So far, we've 0 issues with members approving/denying text (we re-review some denied texts)

Go for level 7 now. I'm almost halfway to level 8.

To keep this site wonderful, those that are with this power will not abuse it. all voices are to be heard but to stop a troll blog is fine. I just hope as we near the mid term elections, we will be able to notice outside influence.

I will always approve new comments, but I don't necessarily "like" them.

Use your new power sparingly and always for good never for evil. Luke.

That surprised me as well! I tend to approve all that I see. 🙂 It is someone's opinion and they deserve to be heard. I've yet to see anything inappropriate.

I think it's relatively new.

So it’s basically just saying that they have not broken rules? I noticed the same thing when I hit six, I just approve anything that’s not offensive, but for a little while I was worried why their comments might be blocked, and refrained from a few.
