Small but important updates
Today we have made a number of changes to some algorithms and functionality of the platform. We want to talk about the most important
1. AutoModerator now automatically mentions the author of the post in the comment when removing a post from the board. This way, users can see the reason for the removal right in their notifications. This should reduce repeated board rule violations and make the job of moderators easier.
2. Some users, after creating the board, forgot to add themselves to the list of candidates and lost control of the board at the very first election. Now the creator of the board will automatically run for its administrators.
3. The period before the start of the reduction of the moderation bar has doubled. Users will be less worried about their activity bar dropping and more likely to rate only the posts they really like.
4. Down votes of comments now reduce the fame and corresponding activity bar of users. Such mechanics will allow the community to “punish” the authors of meaningless comments and, hopefully, gradually clear the platform of users who write comments just to fill the activity bar (such a strategy will simply stop working).
We also fixed several bugs related to the complaint feed, posting limits, and broken activity bars.
