i have actually taken SNMD's rants to heart, and try to vote on how the majority might feel. i despise video games, and know nothing of software, but i know that's not the prevailing story here, so i approve shit i know all you nigers love. i usually minus porn, awesome skaters/bmx'rs/rollerbladers getting hurt vids, and science or political sites written at the 7th grade reading level.

I have noticed a group that has the same hours early to screen off the genre' of bullshit links each day. This may or may not be good or bad, but it does make up a profile, or at least a pattern or what comes up.
I start up on a research quirk following some odd fact that blew up my skirt, and find a handful of shit that I think is cool. That doesn't mean that these things are for everyone, or even that I found a source that is in a good format or a subject that is auto-vetoed (you guys don't like snakes, do you?), it just means that the people who looked at it that day during the time it was in the queue were in the mood to let it through or not.
When I vote, I try to keep in mind a couple of criteria. First, I try to consider if its of fleeting or lasting interest. A good link has staying power. Nobody got tired of watching eels shooting out of that Jap's asshole or deformed nipples for months. Large explosions, eyewitness films of natural disasters, veiws of things that weren't possible pre-technology (Mars, ocean bottoms, genomes, etc) are also good. Good swarm links have gone through all the foreplay and find those gems in the pile of mud and bullshit. A tornado on Mars, the best tidal wave pictures, Iraqi beheadings, Tonya Harding's Honeymoon. You won't find shit like that accidently. It takes dilligence and strange icky mental abberrations to dig it up. That's what I like about it here. Everyone has a shovel, and when the treasue or bones are exposed, we all lean over, peer in, and say something inappropriate.
The second thing I look for are timely links. The tidal wave, the Mars landing, bombings, earthquakes; they're all here. As soon as news happens, I come here and the BEST links are already to go.The eyewitness reports and films, the scandal movie that everyone is talking about (Paris Uno & Dos), and from all over the world. Britain, Austrailia, Germany, Even the Far Flung Isles of Langerhands. I try to pick the ones that have the clearest story, but also have info no one else has. The one witness that says "the cops shot first" or "Bitch split open like wet garabage".
I don't care how many that I submit that get approved or not. I'm on some powerful medications, and my judgement isn't always clear. I'd like to see some of the high preisthood of rejection limited in their number of rejections/approvals a day so there isn't a handful of unemployed drunks sitting around barfing out their collective manic-depressive moods into a Freudian Play-Dough Media worm.
I think that's how Goering started that whole inner doubt thing and weasled into power. He pointed out who had the highest approval, and let them bicker out their insecurities among themselves while he got close to Der Fuerer.
Hey, Vas....Want me to send along some of those cubano cigars with the wine?

What Noobs and non-alpha whiners don't realize is that when we vote on links we have no idea at all who submitted them.
You don't have to be around here long before you can tell the difference between a quality link and a bullshit link.

These are, unsurprisingly, awesome criteria.
I figure my job as an admin is to figure out if the faceless hordes will like a given link, then filter it through the soft-focus, nonconcrete ideas I have about what I want LS to have in it. If it fits between those two lines, it goes up. Call it 20% do-I-like it, and 80% will-everyone-else-like it.
For Alphas, I think it should be slightly more subjective. As an Alpha, I'm hoping you're the best possible version of the Internet masses, so (thoroughly unscientific) I'd say Alphas should be working with something like 40% do-you-like-it and 60% will-everyone-else-like-it.
I'd like to see some of the high preisthood of rejection limited in their number of rejections/approvals a day so there isn't a handful of unemployed drunks sitting around barfing out their collective manic-depressive moods into a Freudian Play-Dough Media worm.
This'd be a good idea. I think a lot of folks see their view of the AQ as "their" Alpha Queue, and so they vote-vote-vote until it's empty. Not that that's wrong -- it's probably an extremely natural way to look at it -- but I'd hate to think people are voting on stuff they have no opinion on, just to get it out of their face. Maybe shitbox's idea of a null-vote would be helpful.
Also, getting back to your fuking point, a daily vote cap, so that votes are exercised with thought.
This would take a bit of restructuring, but it's possible.
Also also, I've been considering forcing a reason for every rejection, mostly so I can weed out the fools that still think every eBay item they load in the Alpha Queue voteframe has expired, so I can then beat the living shit out of them.

I do not think a null vote is needed. It should be common sense to not vote on a submission if you are not equipped to decide on its validity or loveability. |

Content, content, content. To me that's the best part of the swarm.Like I try and tell the n00bs, this place has high standards, and being a part of it is a privalage, not a right. It's the content that always drew me here before I registered, and it's the content that keeps me here.
Sure there's alot of fun things to do, like this thread for instance, but I don't really care if my bitterness rating is high or not. We're all subject to the moods, of the AQ's, and we're all a little asshat at heart. (some more than others) I submit stuff that passes, and fails. Being able to do that, on a site that I respect the content of, thrills me to no end!!!
Beach Goat, and a few others have the right idea. Set out a requesite list of criteria, that you know you like, cause generally you're not much different than a regular swarmer, or even a non registered member.**
Some of you AQ's are my role models, and some of you can go fuck a goat. It's the former and not the latter that I'm thinking of when I tell friends about this site.
I think the idea of textwars is fabulous. I view it as a tool to remind people where they are, and to keep their standards high. Sure I've been a little self medicated, and passed on some realy, really, really bad links, but the next day when I'm reading the rejections in my e-mail and laughing, I say a small prayer, that someday I'll adjust that auto-pilot that gravitates me to the better sites, and remember to turn it on.
** A private little note to add here: Today, due to circumsatnces within, and beyond my control, I sent my subscrition money to vas via M/O. I think that lets you all know something about my finacial situation.
The good news is that I expect to be an aplha within a week. (maybe not good for you, but good for me) Hope you all kick me in the head when I am.

vasudeva:but I'd hate to think people are voting on stuff they have no opinion on, just to get it out of their face. Maybe shitbox's idea of a null-vote would be helpful.
At first I thought this was a dumb idea, but I've warmed to it. As a way to make a link in the queue go away -- or even just make the link on the front page the "new" links waiting in the alpha queue or something.
Also also, I've been considering forcing a reason for every rejection, mostly so I can weed out the fools that still think every eBay item they load in the Alpha Queue voteframe has expired, so I can then beat the living shit out of them.
Maybe you could list individual reasons so that one person can't blank out the previous (and probably better) reasons in the community "why?" pool to insert, "my bologna has a first name..." as the reason. It might make for a long list, but if a link is rejected, the entertainment value comes from the reasons. More reasons = moar fun. Not to mention that we can finally all know who it was that wrote what in the reason box.
EDIT: PS - uart heartily pre-welcomes the sahlgoode to the alpha club and agrees that he was (as always) right.

That's actually what I meant. Every rejector giving a reason.

amen.
also? exercise some goddamned altruism. i would rather see a middling link active than a good link rejected. just because you don't know or care or understand doesn't mean the rest of us won't either.
here's a hint to my ire, pre LS was: Megarad Technologies - Ultimate in Underground Technology News

Rejection is an artform I have already mastered at this very early stage of my Swarm career.
But this should not be surprising for I am L3373r than most.

LORDKAHUNA: mcgarpat: I'd like to find a way to tie this number into the link voting queues, to give you an idea of a submitter's past performance, but it might also have undue bandwagon effects. Comments solicited.
Hi Vas
I think it would be cool to see the voting side statistics too. I think we have some folks that can only approve what they like, keeping the voting too narrow to their tastes, or it may just be fucking stupidity.
Of course they vote on what they like.
I think we should start a pool on just how much you bitch about this in a 7 day time period.
I check your link comments and you seem to have a 50% bitch about content rating.
Point taken, I uderstand that the rejection is not personal and that it takes more tha a few to kill a link, just frustrating when one of the rejected rejectors decides to poop another one comment in with a faggot reason, especially when said individual did not receive the same treatment for the posts that they had rejected. Guess it just pissed me off., like when my kids act off
I feel better now and I won't give a fuck
Hows that for positive
On a side note, I do think we all need to be a little broader when voting and keep in mind others tatstes. I will.
Unless someone posts five consecutive from the same site, then they get the x
