This is tynic's idea.

It seems like we need new moderations - the few negative moderations are too overloaded, and apparently there aren't ENOUGH of them.

So let's have some coffee, and talk. What other moderations should we have?

These are my suggestions

• -1 Irritating
• +1 Indirect
• +1 Pedantic
• -1 Pedantic
• -1 It's Wednesday
• +1 Pub Night

Not having mod powers to check the list, how about:

-1 Rambling on
-1 Reply not quoted (especially if you're making a joke)

In Response to Rich (#26000):

Not having mod powers to check the list

Umm...

-1 Failing to Check the F.A.Q. [goats.com]?

I still believe that -1 Word Choice would be a good thing to have. Though perhaps it'd be overly easy to abuse.

In Response to Rich (#26000):

Reply not quoted sounds stupid to me.

How about '-1 Homonym'?

Make all moderations negative for the next few months. Switch back and forth regularly.

-1 Failing to Check the F.A.Q. [goats.com]?

I think we can end the thread with this one. It just says so much.

But, I guess we could always try:

-1 Whining
-1 Moronic
-1 Baseless
-1 Whaaa?
-1 Just plain wrong
-1 You rub me the wrong way
+1 You could rub me the right way
-1 Smelly [goats.com]

In Response to jettaboy20 (#26018):

-1 Just plain wrong

Should there be a +1 version of that, too?

In Response to zamphir (#26019):

As far as Richard Branson is concerned, there should be a N*E*R*D version.

In Response to unFalln (#26020):

Good call!

We need a -1 Australian.

In Response to zamphir (#26024):

Also with either a +1 version or -1 Usanian.

+1, Cromulent

I have often wanted a +1 Pedantic mod to reward those who go above and beyond. I usually have to settle for "interesting" (which it's usually not) or "insightful" (which it may or may not be).

-1 Annoying or Irritating or something like that would be useful.

I've also wanted a +1 Nonsensical mod, for those times when something incoherent, but rather pleasantly so.

In Response to porcupine8 (#26050):

Could Phillip let us know which mods are being used most? I guess they are the one that need to be split down to two or three different mods and the ones that are least used can be lost for ever in the void of time.

I feel that Troll and Flamebait are pretty much the same, if a post deserves one it will, 93.87% of the time, deserve the tother.

A couple of +1/-1 mods like Pedantic would be good. Sometimes a piece of pedentry is worthy of a down mod.

For everyone's information if all the suggestions are used that would be 41 options, with the existing mods, 17 up and 24 down.

In Response to Nagy_Vilmos (#26081):

Could Phillip let us know which mods are being used most?

I'm sure that he can. Whether or not he will is a different story.

Oops. -1 Pedantic.

In Response to zamphir (#26082):

I was wondering about his capability.

[-1 Rude to Phillip]

[side order=fries]
Considering how often I'm correcting Mrs. N-V over can/will, could/would, I should be ashamed of my bad [optional]grammar[/optional]. I'm not, but I should be.
[/side]

-1 Drunk
+1 Drunk

-1 Preppy
-1 Cheerful
+1 Appropriately Crude
+1 So Bad It's Good
+1 Lewd

-1 Try Using Google Next Time, Asshole
-1 "You're new here, aren't you"

-1 He doesn't like you, I don't like you either
-1 You'll be dead

+1 bzzzwoooaagghhhh, thud

damn now I got into this mode of though there are many cool ideas.

-1 I don't think that means what you think it means

hmm new topic.

In Response to tor (#26150):

-1 Inconceivable!

of maybe even

+1 Inconceivable!

-1 mostly stupid... mostly

And no, that doesn't quite go in the "movie quotes for ratings" topic, as it isn't an exact quote. But thanks for asking!

In Response to tor (#26150):

Wooo! Apparently quotes from the Princess Bride are now obscure references!

Oooh, okay, I got some obscure reference mods right here:

-1 Show me the money!
+1 This could be the start of a beautiful friendship
-1 E.T. go home!
+1 KAHN!

In all seriousness, tor's post should have been modded "Super-Genius", not "Obscure Reference." Again, the fear thing.

In Response to Deathalicious (#26175):

Apparently quotes from the Princess Bride are now obscure references!

Yes. And Mike Meyers quotes from SNL aren't...

Go figure...

-1 I'm Verklempt, talk amongst yourselves!

-1 Creepy

I think that a "-1 Too much information [goats.com]" would be nice.
