Thanks for the answers to my question... Sidenote, does this dying forum not make enough money from the LP and Scam Citizen subforums to tell advertisers to shove it?

Why are Tramadol Junkie and Vile not permabanned? All they ever seem to do is post the most outrageously racist things they can think of, get banned, rereg, and do it all over again.

E/N was like 50% dumb joke threads when I became mod and the GBS mods were way too busy with their own forum to babysit it. I genuinely like reading E/N so it made sense to try to make it less unreadable. And my husband, who's been on here wayyy longer than me, thought it would be funny. I think he thought I'd learn interesting forums gossip from the mod forums. He was wrong.

I took it because Byob was kind of in a crisis and I thought I could save it and make it something people could enjoy The biggest unexpected perk for me has been getting to know the rest of the mod team who are really neat people

I accepted because I really enjoy video games and talking about them. I have seen Games throughout the years and Kewpuh (who asked me to mod) was genuinely one of the best Games mods we've ever had. His approach has helped make Games full of the kind of discussion I enjoy reading about. I wanted to keep that spirit going. I'm exceptionally pleased with the state of Games!

Fun fact: The other night I was messing with my YNAB and showed my husband the budget. I have a baby category (I'm pregnant) and he re-labeled it to Baby/Star Wars. I hope Baby Anakin is still with us. Here is a recent thread that I really, really like: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3787187.

I know that i'm really rolling the dice with this question, but here goes. What does it look like to a poster when they login to find they're probated/banned/perma'd ? Do bans and permas still see the clown balloon?

Speaking of which, was there any particular event that caused the dip in userbase, or was it just a gradual and natural thing?

FactsAreUseless posted:I really like these forums a lot. Mods also get free plat, can give out free titles, etc., but I just did it because I like SA. The biggest benefit to being an admin isn't the admin powers, it's being able to help direct stuff and guide things on the forums by talking to mods and posters and etc. Hence why I made this thread and have taken on QCS stuff. You missed one: abusing your powers
