Rich if you're reading this the announcement is a good start and I appreciate the sentiment. I'm strongly urging you to 1) strictly enforce the fyad stuff 2) undo the bans from last night I know the first one isn't something where we'll see immediate change but the second would go even further toward letting people know you care and are listening.

oscarthewilde posted:loving these levelheaded totally not edgy transphobic nazis in the youtube comments. and i thought fyad was supposed to be ironic? I posted a new rule up top. I really hope this will appease people, instead of somehow backfiring on me. If FYAD tries to skirt around it by dogwhistling, they will be banned. Is this an acceptable compromise?

Lowtax posted:Those were not FYAD people. Those were banned, offsite people, who have never been on the livestream before. It is a bare beginning in all honesty. There are a lot of matters around this situation that still need to be addressed. Urgently. Like opening QCS back up and making sure it is loving moderated properly.

I'm concerned about who is going to enforce it though, considering the fyad regulars surely can't be trusted to. I also think you should overturn the bans last night as a sign of goodwill, it would let off a lot of the pressure of this whole thing.

Pastry of the Year is a loving coward who shuts things down when the trans posters start getting too uppity.

Yeah pretty much all the drama that exploded on like three different forums in the past week or so wouldn't have been nearly bad if the first thing that happened hadn't been a tacit admission that the moderation feedback forum can't handle being used for its intended purpose / won't punish people for deliberately making it unreadable.

Lowtax posted:Yes I know, I was absolutely thrown into this position with no warning or backstory about QCS or CSPAM / D&D, FYAD / whatever. Everybody was just telling me "there's a big situation on the forums and you have to deal with it" out of the blue. I'm absolutely trying to address things as fast as I can. But last time I attempted to address things urgently, it ended up in this mess. I have people telling me to address things immediately, and I have other people saying to take it slow and listen to people and lurk and whatever, So it's, uh, pretty difficult for me to appease both groups. I would definitely do the latter, people are always gonna want the immediate kneejerk reaction but as you say acting without getting the lay of the land is probably going to turn out worse also everyone expects omniscience from admins for some reason, it's wild

Reopening QCS in a way that all the mods and admins can moderate it seems sensible?

Instead of going in half-cocked without any idea, read what the hell happened. The QCS threads alone are a good source for the first week of bullshit. Blundering in while you *fully admit to having no idea what's going on or how to fix it* is just going to make poo poo constantly worse. As you've experience directly now. As for the "Those are fyad posters they are permabanned posters" thing. The point of it is look at who is cheering you on with this. Look who is agreeing and egging and declaring themselves proud of those actions you took. Look at that, then look at yourself and wonder if you want them to agree with you even a little bit, and why you take actions that make them agree with you.

I think there's things you can and should do immediately, and things that you should talk to people about without random shitheads bombing in to distract from the topic. The former includes undoing the bans from last night as a show of good will and a willingness to listen to the community.

That DarkTzintine guy was banned when someone discovered his off-site posts about wanting to rape lesbians to turn them straight. Or maybe it was just a 30, I don't remember.

Can I repeat the suggestion that as a show of good faith that the posters handed 'livebans' are unbanned for now? If, after reading up more thoroughly on what happened, you still think they should stand then ppl can always be banned again but in the meantime it might show that you're willing to listen as well as calm the situation for everyone a little hopefully until full solutions can be put in place?

I think we all want you to take things slower. The new rule is great, if it is enforced. The bigot brigade bans from last night were a bit hasty, especially since as you mentioned, you were thrust into it and couldn't catch up to see what people were yelling about. I would revert, catch up, take things slowly from there. No shame in that. I hope you had a great rest.

apropos to nothing posted:yeah i know its just a 6er which isnt a big deal but seems like it could make someone who is afraid to post feel even worse. like if someone is saying theyre afraid to post i genuinely worry about their mental health. and yeah i see that they used a slur but the reality is that for many years and i dont remember when it was changed but that was what the trans thread was called in E/N i think. like people used it and some prolly still use it cause thats what the folks in the trans thread used to call the thread and also themselves. It was called that in E/N because fyad people kept invading the thread and posting slurs to get some cred from their forum buddies
