主播大秀

Open Post, Tuesday 18 May 2010

Post categories: open post

Paul Murphy | 10:52 UK time, Tuesday, 18 May 2010

I'd like to invite your comments and questions on the work of the Internet blog and the topics and areas that we cover. We've run Open Posts before and they've always been interesting. They're an opportunity for you to help steer the direction of the blog with your suggestions and ideas.

Nick's answered the question "What is an Open Post?" in a previous post and this is what he said:

This post is for comments and questions about anything to do with 主播大秀 Online, 主播大秀 iPlayer, 主播大秀 HD, and the 主播大秀's digital and mobile services. But as it's an open post you can leave a comment about whatever you like.
I can't guarantee that every single comment or question will get a response. But I'll try.

Paul Murphy is the Editor of the Internet blog.

Are there any plans to relax the mobile phone restrictions and allow any Windows Mobile 6.5 phone to access the iPlayer on a try it and see basis?

This is as opposed to the current policy of having a blessed set of rather old and out of date phones meaning that newer more capable phones are banned for accessing the iPlayer.

There are several problems watching iPlayer on Flash, especially on non-Windows machines. This drives people towards bypassing the Flash player, and all the extra hassle that involves.

I realise there are content copyright issues, but I'd still like to hear what your plans are for moving beyond the Flash implementation and allowing easy open access on all platforms.

1. Open posts with 100+ comments are too long to read through to see if your question has already been asked. Why not try user generated, but very moderated forums?
2) When will there be iPlayer for IPad? The iPhone version checks for device compatibility and fails, reverting to the Flash site :(
3) Stephanomics is the best blog on the 主播大秀.

An issue with watching TV or listening to the Radio that some people find is how to know when a new series of a show is starting. For instance, I enjoy comedy radio shows but don't normally listen to 主播大秀 Radio 4 or 7 so do not hear any adverts for new series.
However, with the 主播大秀's new standardised programmes sites, surely a simple solution to this problem is to create an RSS feed for each show, similar to that which is currently available for programme catergories on the iPlayer, so people can follow the programmes that they are interested in and find out instantly if they are being shown.

Oh darn you Keith, I was planning to ask about that. I take it that the chunkier version of the new menu bar is sort of the equivalent of the cludge version of the bar seen on old sites such as /cult with new sites moving to the smaller version in time.

On a related note, you recently had a page at /sportsummit/ saying that the page had been removed and to check web.archive.org, however its now changed to a 404. I thought you were mothballing old sites? Deleting them outright, especially given your apparently megadeletion plan coming soon seems rather poor as many sites have lots of great informations on them. Any explanation on the reasoning behind this?

Oh dear, that first bit reads even worse than I thought.

What I meant was, the menu seen on www.bbc.co.uk/nature/uk is much smaller and more like the new style. Therefore is the chunky new menu seen around the site in the last week to start the new links appearing but in the old templates.

In that sense, is it a placeholder for consistency like the black bar seen on Barley pages?

Does that make more sense? I hope so.

Yeah, we plan to roll out 主播大秀 iD across the whole 主播大秀 site over the course of this year. Its actually site-wide now, but not all products use it - only those parts of the site which do use iD currently display the sign in and register links at the top of the page.

The 主播大秀page is a great example of a part of 主播大秀 Online that would really benefit from 主播大秀 iD - but they've been busy porting it to a new platform, and just haven't had the time to integrate 主播大秀 iD. They should be working on this in future releases.

When is the 主播大秀 going to give their users the tools to combat multiple spam (and other abuse) abuse from single accounts, such as this account, rather than expecting us to waste time filling out multiple complaint forms.

@18: Ah must have missed the topic, still glad to see it's being kept.

On a different subject, regarding the topic tracker on the home page is there any news as to when it will be possible to access all blogs via the tracker. For example at present it's not possible to track the 主播大秀 Internet or The Editors blogs. This has been raised by a number of users in the blog entry regarding the new home page, however there has been no feedback regarding this.

Incidentally I notice since my last post the Nature UK header has reverted from the GVL version to the 'new' header.

Hopefully this will find its way to someone who can give us an answer and share the thinking around how such decisions are made?

With the planned 主播大秀 move to Salford (Salford, not Manchester) will The Culture Show become less London-centric and less hooked on big international names?
Much Art nowadays is IT-related.
So it seems much more appropriate to pose this question here rather than on a Readers' Letters-type programme, and no links seem to be provided so that I can contact the show and its editor or presenters or producer(s) directly.
We are invited to watch tons of interesting archive stuff, but for God's sake don't think for a moment that we professionals will even notice what you plebs on that side of the screen think.
The regeneration of great swathes of our industrial heritage in The North is taking place daily often linked to all sorts of artistic input, but this transformation of the Britain I grew up in is being hardly noticed, let alone mentioned by high-brow outlets such as The Culture Show.
I think I'll emigrate to another country for ten years or so, then return as a foreigner. Then my new culture might be of interest to 主播大秀 bigwigs.

Looks like it, just how long does it take to nuke spammers accounts, considering that nothing more problematic than a slightly off topic comment that criticises certain people within the 主播大秀 can be nuked within the quarter of an hour of appearance on these blogs.

I have an interest in iPlayer coming to the next generation of mobile phones like the HTC touchphones. Particularly on winmobile which seems to be lagging behind in iPlayer's attention.
These are mini computers rather than just phones and surely should be able to handle things like the iPlayer sideloads not just a few selected mobile company streams. (Yes I know they can use wifi if you tweak the browser) Why should I have to do that?

Why are the phone lists so out of date and why are the new phones that have similar formats not tested?
The excuse of not being given one free by the manufacturer to test does not exactly wash.
iPlayer is a brilliant service, don't think I'm being negative about it, I just would like to see even more access to a very popular and useful way of utilising it :)

Re comments about spam at #19 and #23

When someone from the 主播大秀 Internet Blog department gets around to dealing with the spam build up rather than just make excuses here is yet another account that is being used to post nothing but spam...

Five days and no action, despite being "aware of the situation", how long does it take to nuke spammers accounts, considering that criticism against people who we pay for out of our TVL fee's can be removed within the hour! Somewhere, either the 主播大秀 Internet blogs or the 主播大秀's IT services, something or someone is not fit for purpose.

It would also be nice, whilst talking about moderation issues, for users who have had comments removed due to falling foul of moderation to be able to edit the comment in question rather than having to submit a reworked new comment further down the discussion - assuming that the blog hasn't been closed for new comments, further it would be nice if on referral (except for spamming perhaps...) the user is emailed was with the reason why the comment has been referred so that they are not left speculating as to what the problem is and might also stop them repeating the problem. This would go somewhere to negate the issues that arise when, for example, an off topic referral is made and the moderation process could be waiting on a reply from elsewhere within the 主播大秀.

That's OK then, and the existing spam can remain! I bet if some user kept using four letter words not only would their account be closed pretty dammed quick but their comments removed too, so why can't that happen when people are (in effect) advertising via the 主播大秀, in a clear breach of the 主播大秀 Charter...

As an aside, any account that is posting to multiple blogs within 90 seconds (on average) between comments, as is happening in these mass spam attacks, should be automatically suspended, and flagged up with all comments referred for moderation by the server, no human could post at such a rate.

"In previous posts we've explained why allowing commenters to reedit their comments once published would lead us into a world of pain. The preview button on blog comments was introduced (can't remember exactly when off the top of my head) to help people check their comments before publication.

But that is not what I was suggesting, I was talking about were a comment has been removed due to moderation, what would be the difference between someone resubmitting their comment in a new post and editing their previous comment, I was not suggesting that all comments should be editable, in fact if I remember correctly I supported the rational against such a general privilege when someone else suggested it in the past.

Also, are we really to believe that the head of 主播大秀 Internet blogs can't fire off an email to your opposite number at (if I remember correctly) "CCT" with the relevant account details and ask them to delete, on-block, the accounts and messages in question, words such a mind and boggle come to mind!

The creative use of the Red Button, Live streaming of 'on board' cameras on the sports pages, choice of commentary and the excellent "Forum" to round it all off makes us probably the luckiest viewers of this sport.

Paul,

Thanks for reinstating my post.

I think the main problem with the open posts is that about a third of the comments are about things that have already been answered many times before. Another third are boilerplated complaining about spam. Which leaves only one third proper comments.

Perhaps it might make things easier if rather than having one big open post, you had a couple of smaller ones about general areas (e.g. an iPlayer open post etc.)
