Dear Lady Ambien,

Congratulations on becoming a mom - holy poo poo, right? I imagine you're here in GBS announcing your reentry to modship now that things have stabilized a bit at home - which is good news to hear~!

If you've made it this far, great. I've got some ideas I'd like to run by you all:

These are totally serious Special Poster Powers:
  • GOLD Thread Protection: The OP of any Gold-rated threads should be allowed to contribute to their own thread unimpeded by a probation.
  • Postcount Powers: High post-rate users could apply "posting points" based upon their recent postcount/postrate to overcome a probation's hours.


That's actually it - one kind of "probation prevention method" for each major camp of poster. It also encourages Good Content posting, Voting (indirectly), and keeping up higher postcounts for ...actual bonuses?

I'm really just reading the rest of this thread (just wow :wom: wow guys) and noticing that people are mostly okay with how things look but if you're gonna punish people for making lovely threads, then you need to reward people for making high-quality threads and for posting in said threads (and to the boards in general).

Love, Vitalis Dinosaurmageddon

I think we managed to keep Dad Gay So What alive and posting almost up until your official reentry as GBS mod but then some FYAD-related shenanigans and other such nonsense got him kicked to the curb. But you know those lone wolf types... sometimes they gots to roam:

I maintain that allowing users to pay a set amount to instantly end a probation would be a good way to monetize your forums, as well as a counter to the ridiculous number of pointless and apparently random probations that are being meted out with reckless abandon in gbs lately. Call it "bail" or something

I've noticed recently that sometimes in GBS I read a thread or a post in the thread and I smile or chuckle which has never happened before so please permaban all these people making "jokes" because I don't come here to laugh. I come here to express my outrage at various things and call for change without ever actually leaving my room and doing anything.

yup. dgsws threads are by far the most fun to post in. everyones goofing off and being creative and running with ideas and they get shutdown and he gets banned. hes the master of absurdist tone shifts and hilarious metaposting but gets banned and probated for nothing and the one doing the baning and probating has a posting style thats like a bland brian regan protestant version of dgsw
