I don't think everyone in that category is able to see themselves as others do.
If they get an automated nudge, maybe they can course-correct themselves?

@hallmarc @voltronic @Agatha @th3j35t3r
This could be a corollary to a solution:
The "louder" you are tooting
the softer is your volume.

For instance:
If you turn this wiz-bang feature on, when someone's sentiment is going rogue their prominence in the thread is lowered.
You control the sensitivity.
If their response comes back with a button that says "Caution" and nothing else, you can click it to continue the engagement.
And, they know their post was hidden behind that button.

@voltronic @Agatha @th3j35t3r
What if you could turn it on and off yourself?

Ultimately, we're trying to enforce civility on CoSo.

Some people are just not civil and don't even realize it.

Maybe some gentle methods will course-correct those few that need some post-adolescent guidance?

@Agatha @voltronic @th3j35t3r
...but...
You can also turn it off or click a button to see what was said.

@Agatha @voltronic @th3j35t3r ...or...
Maybe there could be a simple "that was a mean thing to say" button?
It would progressively turn the font color closer to the background. Eventually, with a lot of clicks, it just fades away.....

@Agatha @voltronic @th3j35t3r
...also...
An algorithm doesn't have to be out of your control.
It doesn't have to be nefarious.
It just has to be transparent.

If an algorithm enhances your understanding and you trust it, it's a useful tool.

@Agatha @voltronic @th3j35t3r
Sounds like we're trying to engineer good manners when communicating with our fellow humans.

That's a tough journey.

But, I do have ideas! 🙂

I do like the idea of being in control of tools that help you make sense out of what is happening. If an "algorithm" provides an indicator that this guy/gal is being a jerk and it confirms my opinion, I might feel less of a need to put him/her into their place with further arguments.

@Agatha @th3j35t3r
Yes, definitely an algorithm.
But J needs solutions that scale using tech and not just more time from J.

It would report what was filtered if you want to see that.
If you don't like how it's working, then just don't use it.

Maybe there is an even better idea besides hiring an army of analysts?

@th3j35t3r
You probably have an emergent situation underway or still ongoing.
That means a few factors are in confluence.
I think one is the time of year. Many are on vacation or swamped with getting kids back to school or college.

Nevertheless, maybe its time to design a "sentiment" dial on a profile? Those that are more rambunctious are filtered out by those that set their threshold high. Then allow users to see who/what was filtered out so they know the consequences.

I got the shoes for a Barbie birthday party for my wife.

It's fun to wear them around the neighborhood.

@grayman @sfleetucker
I'm on Jackson St.

@Kinnison
Looks delicious!

Nice sunset in San Francisco.

@stueytheround
They certainly didn't get it off the website.
It's totally down.

@Museek
Wow. Near Santa Cruz?

@stueytheround
Could be, but the suit matches what he wore at the airport afterwards.

@SFAstroStone
CNN says this is the real one.

@opie
I dunno. I just captured this from youtube at the airport as he was leaving:

CNN is saying that this is the mugshot.

CNN says they have the mugshot.
