The weak link is the report post part. Posters accountable. Mods and admins accountable publicly.

The missing part is who is reporting and what. To be fair to mods and admins we don't see what they're dealing with

Do people get probed or banned for hammering the report tab?

This is actually a pretty important point that nobody's brought up yet. Most of the regular posters agree that reporting posts that aren't severely breaking rules (ex. Kiddie porn) is the ultimate bitch move and just shitpost at bad threads until they go away instead.

Using solely the report function as a metric of what gets gassed is going to get people like arbitrary c and some sadsack lurkers trying to ban their way to 1.0 or are reporting things not because they're not funny or bad content, but because they're offended somehow or otherwise don't get the joke

There's value in ArbitraryC's earnest nature. I don't think he expresses himself in any kind of way that should draw heat.

Two of him would be too many, but one painfully eyerollingly earnest poster, is good imo.

i think i've hit the report button twice since i joined, both while drunk and only in the worst of the worst threads, and I've felt like an rear end in a top hat both times when i sobered up. it's way better just to abuse the OP. also it's a bum move to put someone on ignore

I reported one of jew macklemores posts back in the day because I was having a really bad day and it was his third "the kikes are ruining America" thread that day

Basically, I was buttmad and reporting a post only lead me to owning myself

Ignore should be something you use when someone's spamming massive scroll-wheel using spam posts that makes reading a thread actually difficult. But since those types don't last long, that would mean you would never really need to use it.

Anyone else that uses it because "Eww, don't like you" is a little bitch.

antimods

make it so six-hours cant be lifted, while everything else has to go through the approval process of regular probations

both sides will have to actually consider how something breaks the rules or doesn't before just launching a 30-day on its way because they were having a bad day

In that basketball pic JiveHonky posted, I just noticed he's covertly slipped a Wayne Gretsky gimmick into his snapshot.


I'm unable to tell if it's monstercock tip or a ball though.


And, yes, I believe him to be darkskin.

uh refusing the modship is why we still think he's funny and not just an rear end in a top hat

at one time gnarlyhotep, aswbm, and genesplicer were good and funny posters beloved by all, though gnarly saw himself turning into franco and got out

hell, even franco may have been at least merely innocuous before turning into the toxic mass of spite and malice we know today, before becoming a mod

If I was made a mod the only thing that I would do is destroy any and all dare. Eventually I would start thinking everyone is actually dare. Then the ghost of ralp would appear from my bathroom mirror and strangle me, speaking the words "The one that was dare was you all along". The scene fades to black, music plays.

I dunno where you got the impression I reported stuff a lot because I think it's mostly a dumb thing to do and should only be really used for stuff like nsfw or w/e. I dunno if it'd be a good idea making every report public but I think it'd be an okay policy to give someone a 6er if their report doesn't actually result in any mod action.

Wait so are you saying we can get a small buy vocal group of people who are very passionate about say chocolate ice cream, and they will smash the report button everytime they see a post that deny's the god given superiority of said ice cream. Thus pushing the ton of the forums into a pro-choclate utopia?

God that guy is the loving worst. At least Dare is plausibly schizophrenic. That guy is just a massive loving loser.
