Ye, I think if everyone can submit good news and moderate rubbish posts, we’ll see the system turning around and reverting back to its powerful self!

I think Muti is an awesome system which really drives local bloggers as it pushes traffic, but only pushes traffic to decent content! I look forward to seeing these improvements :)

Sounds really good, it’s time to get rid of some of the abusers – Is there any way you can hide who moderates a specific submission? I sometimes don’t want to moderate as people are strange and the next minute I have an enemy?

Hi Chris

Thanks for your call to action! Its also much appreciated that you have been moderating of late. Here’s a couple of things that are/will happen immediately:
1) You should see a *lot* less ‘soft spam’ with immediate effect, as in fact just yesterday a new much more aggressive spam filter was deployed.
2) To aid moderating, everyone will immediately be granted some mod points.
3) The Mod point algorithm will be changed to award points more generously. (within next day or so)

As regards the server slowness, definitely Muti is cracking at the seems on the Linode it runs on right now. There are some plans to move it in the near future. We are always looking for host sponsors but in the event we do not get one we will either move to Heztner or Huricane Electric and be on a full dedicated server in the next few weeks.

Regards
