If everything is working well then all good. Still, it cannot hurt to be open to ideas for possible enhancements such as the owner's are trialling with this new likes addition.
The things being put forward have all been tried in the past and they don't enhance the site, they complicate it.
Helpers seeing post reports - didn't work
Helpers seeing deleted posts - didn't work
Helpers freezing member's accounts - didn't work
The thing that would complicate the site the most would be to have a report to forum helper button. So you see a post that you think is something a helper can deal with so you report it to them, they decide it's outside of their remit so they then have to report it to the mods, how is that an enhancement?
There's a good guide in the punting wiki detailing what a helper can and is expected to do, it also shows what mods can do. -
External Link/Members OnlyThe basic system we have now works and works very well, Nothing wrong with putting forward or introducing new ideas as with the' like' button, but the emphasis being on new.
If a member reports a post any one of either the owner, admin or mods can take whatever action is needed, it doesn't need to be passed on. If a member reports a thread in the wrong region but when a mod looks a helper has already moved it so what? the mod has only wasted a few seconds, it really doesn't matter enough to develop a system to avoid it. The helpers do a sterling job of keeping the place tidy BTW.
