On Self-Moderation and Moderation
If you feel like the posts from a user are totally irrelevant to you, you might have no other option than simply block them temporarily by visiting their profile, and there is an option to block the profile (to unblock, there is a list of blocked people: https://plus.google.com/apps/activities/blocked_users ) -- it works, and will keep signal-to-noise ratio high.
And, regarding moderation -- let's discuss criteria ( https://plus.google.com/112297796445914390564/posts/NheFcE9Dfrd ), let us know who would like to contribute the moderation. I would definitely love to contribute.
(Posting from my auxiliary account, so that the blocked ones can also notice.)

For example, my current blocked users list is the following users, because first of them has many posts on their account broadcasted to multiple communities, making me suspect a bot at work. The second one looks like an account set up to massively broadcast one's personal discoveries and life for impact across large number of channels without discretion about relevance. (While I may be interested in the discoveries as a person (then I would follow the person), but I wouldn't think it is appropriate to spam a community with that, unless it is a community for that purpose.)

I am not a bot.
ReplyDeleteDean Mormino Will reconsider. Don't take it personally, while operating on my main account, I've to keep signal-to-noise ratio high. Will review. :)
ReplyDeleteYou however posted the exact same post 157 times in different groups within 2 hours

Mindey I. I can't care less about what you think honestly especially someone who is spamming 157 times in 2 hours the same thing. I wish that G+ did a better job at getting rid of more people
ReplyDeleteDean Mormino yes, and that was a relevant post to the people of the communities I was part of, in context of the event that G+ for consumers was closed, and it is helpful to people to find their way to what's left on G+. Explain the usefulness of your, e.g., post https://plus.google.com/+DeanMormino/posts/NyyJ2hPmVnE on the community, and how it is useful for most of the "People Left Behind on G+", and I'll agree.
ReplyDeleteAnd plus, the community "People Left Behind on G+" was not created by me, nor am I its moderator. Shared to others about it, because I'd like to try to see if G+ can further be useful.
Mindey I. Your link doesn't work so I don't know what you are referring to but I assume you are talking about the meme. If you look, 95% of everything posted so far in that community is memes. BTW no way in hell can anyone justify 157 of the same post in 2 hours. I don't care who you think that you are and what you think that you are doing. You are not the CEO of Google so just take a step down off your high horse and knock it off.
ReplyDeleteDean Mormino https://plus.google.com/114083952072113763727/posts/NyyJ2hPmVnE -- this one. Does it open? Regarding the posts, it's about relevance, rather than the number of posts. I specifically posted those posts on behalf of my auxiliary account, to make only those users to whom it may be relevant actually see it (like lurkers on those communities, who might otherwise not find the community "People Left Behind on G+"), and avoid my normal followers be spammed by it. Does that make sense?
ReplyDeleteMindey I. No it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteHow about you go back to spamming your communities and I will do my thing. I liked it much better when you pretended to block me
Dean Mormino Not sure if it is visible, but this one drive.google.com - 8a334df6cab9d17a760d609e5.png . It would be great to add explanations to pictures, and how they are relevant to the users of community.
ReplyDeleteRegarding my blocked user list, it's actually everyone's personal matter what to block or not to block. If G+ implemented the feature suggested on this ( https://plus.google.com/112297796445914390564/posts/NheFcE9Dfrd ) thread, we would not need to take these drastic measures, but for now, there seems to be no other option, just block, or ask users not to post their personal stuff on the goal-focused communities, or moderate... But I'm not moderator.
I am not a bot either 😉 although used to post before tens posts a day to various Communities or Public to my profile/stream ☺️
ReplyDeleteFor me, it wasn't problem 😂 to post even 100 posts a day, upon various subjects, e.g.: Linux comm. with daily various #Linux world news, #Hippies comm. with many actual or historical pics, #LGBT corner & issues, Animal comm. with also many pics etc. etc. 😎
ReplyDeleteSince not everyone has their G Suite profile logged in as account 0, I would suggest making sure your shared URLs don't have /u/i (where i is the account index, in your case /u/0) in it, so it will automatically use the currently selected account, rather than force it to the one you first logged in as. :)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that surprises me is that 157 identical posts didn't trigger the spam filters.
ReplyDeleteJulie Wills actually, they did not appear immediately. First I only saw a few, then gradually others came in (probably as a result of being approved by multiple community moderators.) Anyway, from what we see, that just confirms the relevance, and yet, that hadn't significantly increase the number of users. We've got approx. 10 new users. So, probably vast majority were non-G-Suite.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you need to Block them? Unfollowing them would be more than sufficient to stop seeing their Posts, except in Communities you're both in, and then a quick Block-Unblock won't help.
ReplyDeleteThis is a Nuclear Solution for a surgical problem.
Eli Fennell well, suppose you don't follow them in the first place, but they come to the community, and start posting their personal things under Discussion. What's the best surgical solution to avoid seeing those posts in your stream?
ReplyDeleteMindey I get what you're saying, but the first thing would I think be to politely point it out them, then Block them if it continues. Especially with so few people, we should at least try the direct approach first. But you suggested Blocking and then Unblocking, and if you're in the same Community, Unblocking them will just put all their Posts back into your Stream unless you hide all Community Posts entirely.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I'm not getting notifications for replies to this thread...
ReplyDeleteFilip H.F. Slagter Yeah, Notifications are all over the place.
ReplyDeleteBy which I mean, I get some, not others, and there is no clear pattern.
ReplyDeleteEli Fennell Yes, suggested blocking and then unblocking, cause I don't like the idea of permanent blocking. You always have to review, if people had come back to senses. Permanent blocking does not ever make sense...
