HISTORY The site was launched in October 1998 , and quickly gained popularity. STATISTICS As of early 2006 , the forum had more than 1,200,000 posted messages, and this number grows by average 1,000 - 2,000 a day. ABOUT LOR LOR is a place of hot verbal battles between all kinds of Russian IT Intelligentsia . The most famous topics of discussions are:
THE SPIRIT OF LOR LOR is so famous in RuNET because of so known "Spirit of LOR". MODERATION LOR user can become a moderator if he meets certain conditions. Moderators have rights to approve/delete news articles and screenshots, delete user comments which do not conform to the site rules. They can also ban users and set the score treshold (see below) for discussions. Recent deleted comments can be seen by registered users, with the information about who exactly deleted it. As moderators are themselves active users who often take part in heated discussions, they are often accused of being biased and subjective. Score system Every LOR user has a score, which is visible only to himself or moderators. Score is awarded for participating in forums and adding news. If a moderator deletes one's comment, his score is decreased. For every 100 points user is awarded a star which is shown next to the nickname. User, whose score is below the threshold set by moderator, cannot participate in the discussion. Very low score can lead to a ban. Score system is rather sophisticated and not directly related to the number of posts. This had led to some controversy, as active users often have a poor score. Trolling As many other popular websites LOR is often attacked by Internet Troll s. For example, recently, LOR was repeatedly flooded by the unknown individual who signed his posts as Toozeg (hence the name -- Toozeg nights). He created repeated forum topics with abusive headings, mainly directed against moderators. The name Toozeg itself comes from the distorted name of the infamous LOR user Ty3uk, who became a cult figure on the site, but most likely he is unrelated to this events. EXTERNAL LINKS |
