Greetings!

It's a shame there's so much craziness here right now, mostly having to do with Topix bashing. This too shall pass!

Calling anyone who disagrees with you a "troll" is becoming quite tiresome, and yes, I know that sounds like something Dr. Evil would say...

I think you're doing a great job here! If people don't like it, why don't they just leave? I guess they'd rather stay and whine about how awful people are to them...

Would you consider adding a "whiner" button to the judge-its?(One that points out a persecution complex would probably be asking for too much, right????:)

Gosh how nice of you to drop in Top Mod for a little chat and to say "hello". How nice you feel so at home here with all the trolls. How about cleaning the place up? is that too much to ask?

or are you content with having bully trolls who claim they represent your company and carry your advertiser's ads on their comments, while they stick their fangs into Topix commentators?

How about cleaning your OWN house before continuing on this Topix crusade?
That's too much to ask without Mrs. Nash's help.

Watch Clean House on Style Network... check local listings for day and time!

Ha! a Whiner button...I love it! We're actually contemplating just changing the judge-its to the more ambiguous but consolidated Thumbs-up/Thumbs down.

What would you think of that?

Cleaning the place up...can you send us some Feedback and let us know which posts you think need to go?

Also, what do you mean carry our advertiser's ads on their comments - I think you might be talking about our in-line Kontera ads, which go into any/every posters comments from time to time...

Well...it SEEMS innocent enough, but didn't they use that signal in ancient Rome, back when Russell Crowe was fighting for the pleasure of Joaquin Phoenix?(And who wouldn't?)

In all seriousness, I think the judge-its are kind of unnecessary at this stage. Simplifying them or even getting rid of them would be a very good thing!

No one really pays attention to the "judge-it", because everyone always gives the same ones to people they agree or disagree with. It isn't a real judge of the post it is more of an e-middle finger or e-high five.

It is totally irrelevant to the complaints about topix, and would probably cost money for the changeover, that could be better spent - like on refunding the $20 to anyone who pays to have a comment removed, that was posted by a topix employee. and no cheating by letting such comments stay on when they are objectionable. just clean it up a reasonable amount please. no obscne insults, for one thing.

how much personal information does topix get from registration, and how much access to ways to violate someone's privacy? if any emplyee could gain access, one could not trust this.

Topix is plastering ads to the comments of trolls.

Oh RBJ is missed I'm sure :-( However, he should know that this is just not realistic - it will probably never happen. It's important to have a place for unregistered users - he should just concede and come back under his RBJ profile!

We have the same amount of information about unregistered and registered users - there's no difference on our end in that regard!

Evan-

We have several different moderators I am not always going to know who got which feedback, as it will not always be me.

The best way to inquire about Feedback requests would be through the actual feedback system, posting in the forums is not a good place to keep tabs on your feedback requests.

Thanks!

Daily Horoscope for June 2

Libra

It's one of those difficult days when anything can and will happen. Someone you were relying on might let you down, plans could be changed at the eleventh hour or a machine could go on the blink. To make matters worse, your energy levels are very erratic, so you feel full of beans one minute and ready to go to sleep the next. Don't make the situation worse by eating foods that give you a high followed by a slump.
