[Resolved] Locked posts
Hello!
I just wanted to ask,
Is it just me, or are a lot of projects that are posted low-effort and locked?
Just curious, im totally fine with this being locked lol
Thanks! Cya!
We unlist low effort stuff because print, if-then and input is not acceptable. We also delete spam and unlist non-English posts. Note that this is non exhaustive, and we may change what we do based on the post in question.
@CodeLongAndPros ooh i didn’t know mods can delete posts. I thought that was just admins.
yeah same @RayhanADev
@RayhanADev mods are admins, to a shade.
oh. cool @CodeLongAndPros
@CodeLongAndPros lol ;P. I feel bad because you all have such limited power tho.
@CodeLongAndPros also here you go! Add to your profile if you want xd.
WOW! that's rly cool! @RayhanADev
bruh I wanna be a moderator xD
I am always reporting posts for spam and telling people to stop spamming and helping users out. I think I'd be a good mod. I am also in CST.
lol, cool! @MocaCDeveloper
@MocaCDeveloper hahahah I just told someone else. TheDrone7 picks mods when they need them. He reaches out to trusted community members. There are like 10 mods right now, so they don’t need any.
lol, thanks! @RayhanADev
I think they can use at least ONE more lol
@MocaCDeveloper lol xD. No worries I’d support you ;P
You better, or else I'll whoop ya lol jk but thanks for supporting me :D
We have about three things we do to posts:
- unlist
- delete
- lock
When a post is unlisted, it (should) not appear in talk or on a profile, but still exist.
If it's deleted only the replit team can recover them.
If it's locked you can't upvote and you can't comment.
Ok cool! Thx @CodeLongAndPros
no its not just you i think they are like stolin repls or something like that
Im sry to barge in, but can you stop chatting on this post? it's kinda clogging my notifications xD
Moderators can lock posts. They do it for various reasons:
- the post is farming cycles from alt accounts
- the post is extremely low effort
- the post is stolen
- the post is spam or contains spam
etc.
If it's locked, it's for good reason.
Ok thx @Axrevyn
Well Repl mods or admins (yeah, there’s a difference) can unlist and lock posts.
==========
It’s typically done when a post needs to be evaluated moderators, when there is plagiarism suspicion, when cycle-farming happens, etc.
==========
You can still access unlisted posts, and if they are unlocked you can comment on them as per usual (I know one with some others from Repl xd). Moderators and admins do this when they need a post to disappear (because of something really bad, plagarism).
==========
From what I have noticed, it depends on the moderator what happens to a post. Some just lock a post, but others unlist them as well.
Ok thx @RayhanADev
@JBYT27 no problem :D
