20 members now have ability to move threads between sections and change review ratings. Those who have access will see new button or form on each topic, along with notice at the top of page linking to this post.
Thought best to start off with low number of 20 rather than give access to hundreds or even the full 1,200+ members who have access to Deleted Posts.
Those who have these new privileges shouldn't get confused into thinking they are moderators. You are not moderators and not above other members. The clue is in the name of the permission usergroup you now belong to - "Helpers". You are merely being given privileges to help with the running of the site, the site that you make use of (given all except one of you have 1,000+ posts). Similar to Wikipedia, the editors who write articles, organize the site, etc. don't get paid for their efforts, you won't either, you are helping your fellow punters by maintaining UKP, something I've done all myself in the past years.
Each change you make will automatically be logged in the new 'Notices' board. You need to fill out a reason textbox to. You need to be clear as to why you made the change.
It goes without saying that review ratings must only be changed when the author of the review (and no one else) requests the change, either them posting in their review topic or reporting their post. Never should a review rating be changed solely because you disagree with it. It's their review and they get to pick the rating, if they picked neutral when everyone thinks it should be negative, that is their choice, you can voice your opinion but never use the facility to change it.
Move topics if they are posted in the wrong region, e.g. a London review posted in Scotland section or they post in this main section and not the relevant regional board. But there are exemptions that need to be taken in consideration, for example if it's a post asking for whereabouts of some porn star who tours all over UK, in that case it's best kept in this main section. Or it's a post asking a general question (e.g. do you use agencies) but posted in a regional section, in that case it would be best kept in that regional board as they seek opinions of fellow locals and not punters throughout the UK.
The indexing of reviews, categorizing of topics, post editing to fix broken links, etc. is for future.
Freezing some new member because they're breaking the rules and I am offline is for the future too, I just need to decide the best way to go about that.
With these new and planned changes of allowing members to maintain the site as much as possible I have optimism that in the coming months I can spend less time on UKP (i.e. like when I was away for a week earlier this month or Christmas Day). But that's probably just a pipe dream.
