I meant if those would be the right tags for that history rather thank asking permission to use them.

For the series of photos, titled “The Calcified” and featured in this month’s issue of New Scientist, Brandt posed the carcasses in life-like positions. “But the bodies themselves are exactly the way the birds were found,” he insists. “All I did was position them on the branches, feeding them through their stiff talons.”

I was wondering how did those birds got caught by the lake's waters in such normal positions.

And hopefully empty of all the stupid jokes that are usually in the gaming communities in reddit (like "your comment was posted 3 hours ago. Half life 3 confirmed" or that bullshit. Althought the "Unfortunately, I'm the High King of Skyrim" trend was pretty funny because the guy who made it has a really good sense of humor. I give it 5 days until it becomes a circlejerk).

This would be like a small /r/Games where the discussion would be even more serious.

This is slightly off-topic (it's actually a question), but, a few days ago I submitted a link to reddit about a demonstration where 10%~ of the total population of the island went to (100k~ ). Also, there's an "end-less" teachers strike going on too, with a "resistance box" (to cover what those teachers loose for going on a strike) that already has 300k€ + a Miro painting (10k). It was absolutely ignored by reddit (+2), probably because it happened in a rather-stranded island that barely anyone in the US knows (Mallorca, Spain).

IMO it's a big deal (you don't see the 10% of the total population of a region going to a single demonstration too often, it would be like seeing 837M~ in NY) as well as demonstrating how a society can unite towards a single end (the 300K~€ in that "box" + the Miro painting [donated by one of Miro's heirs]), so it was weird to see reddit ignoring it.

I guess it would be okay to post it here (if I can get google to translate it to english, goddamnit!), right? (tags being... #news and #eupolitics, maybe?)

I mean for the outside. Of course, that's a way for the users, but not for the guys who check Hubski without joining and don't get past the home page.

Ok, I can chip in in this comment (finally!)

First of all: I'm a moderator in the subreddit that caused the biggest downfall of a website outside reddit for vote rigging (quickmeme). I wasn't a mod back then, but I did was one when the second one fell (memegenerator).

I'm going to talk about spam and about memegenerator & its vote rigging.

Spam:

In my subreddit we used to have LOTS of spam. Our moderating job was probably 75%~ deleting them. Blatant spam. The sub is based on sharing memes (yep, it's AdviceAnimals if you hadn't noticed yet), so when we found a post that didn't linked to a meme, the post was inmediatly taken down and flagged as spam (if we caught it, sometimes, the spam gets past of guards).

An example of that "spam that gets past our guards" happened the same week I got promoted: a random user posted something from a random meme maker (I don't remember its name right now) and used bot accounts to upvote it and get it to the front, where everyone who opened reddit at that time would see it. They'd open it (the link wasn't RES-compatible, so they couldn't open it without clicking) check the meme (a rather lame one, btw) and close it. No harm done, right? They didn't knew it got upvoted by bot accounts, so they made no harm? Wrong. Turns out that account was a pretty new one, with just 2 or 3 submissions from imgur (so it would look like a normal account for the mods) and then submitted the submission from that unknown page.

We get 600k~ visits on a daily basis, let's say that 500k~ clicked it. That website had 4 or 5 ads IIRC, so BAM! Some random guy on the internet made 10k~ $ by gaming reddit once.

And as I see it, sharing something "to the top" in hubski could be as easy as vote-rigging something in reddit (as far as I know, maybe you have a way to prevent that that I don't know).

Memegenerator & vote-rigging.

| And even those can lead to a massive conspiracy like memegenerator. |

Some of my mates in the mod team actually thought that the vote-rigging made by memegenerator was fake (fake in the sense that they didn't promoted it, but instead someone else made it to kick them out of reddit), me included. The vote-rigging was ridiculously obvious (23-4 on a submission made 7 or 8 minutes ago, 3-1/4-0 on everything else). So far we have no proof about that (the only ones who could give us are the admins, and they didn't contacted us, so who knows).

Probably this comment looks a tad crazy, but I just want to high-light something: do you have any way to prevent...mmm... "share-rigging"? [I apologize before-hand for any grammar mistake I could have made, I'm not a native english]

Ok, let me get this straight: who are the mods/admins here?

You can always click the "swag" button (terrible name for it in my opinion) and buy some Hubski goodies to support them (such as phone decals and stickers).

I'm not irish, but I went to Ireland 2 years ago, to one of the northern countys (Donegal).

I stayed in Buncranca with a shelter family for a month in summer.

I loved the weather. I know it's a rather weird thing to say about this certain one, but I love the "4 seasons in one day" weather-style.

Thanks, mate!

I like it so far, the dark style's pretty good, and this seems the perfect place to find intelligent discussion (rather than pun-threads and what not).

By the way, maybe it was because I was using an iMac (10.6.8 IIRC). I'm on Linux right now and it works. I'll try it again in Mac OS X and I'll tell you.

Also, is there any tag to post suggestions with? Or shall I message you instead?

Ah, some kind of a "neutral" stage?

Oh, by the way, when I click in one of the flowers (be it the default "gray" one or the blue one), it changes and shows the "broken picture" icon.

Like this:

I'm trying it and the only thing that changed is that, rather than having a hubwheel now I have a... Gear? What's the difference?

It's funny that YOU would say that.
