5/10 Could we limit motd access so you have to use motdedit?
\_ People can still overwrite or censor your posts using motdedit.
\_ But at least it won't happen so often accidentally. Of
course, then we wouldn't have the funny people freaking out
about people deleteing their posts when it was really just
someone not using motdedit...
\_ How do you know the frequency of accidents now?
\_ Well, I wrote one resopnse to this and it was
overwritten with the current #1 post. It happens to
me fairly frequently.
\_ Which doesn't mean that it was an accident.
\_ Would you support it if it came with a two-minute lock?
\_ So you're saying that the random destruction the wreck is
better than having them wait in line?
\_ Well I could make a user friendly interface that'll allow people
to edit individual entries on Kais Motd. I can also add
customization, like my.motd so that you can filter out Politics or
categories you don't want to read. And I can add a "Was this page
useful to you" button like on Amazon so that you search only
useful posts. And, I can add accountability so that I can track
down who posts trash and who posts useful stuff, but I promise to
make it anonymous. The only draw back is that you'll have to have
an external web account, and that the flow of motd is from
Kais Motd->CSUA Motd, instead of the other way around. What do
you all think? -kchang |
