Son of Thunderbeast posted:Looks like Lowtax's plea for fyad to stay in fyad, because the mods are spread thin due to the holidays, was taken as a "mods are asleep, spread out and shitpost" signal Right? Also, at posters who blubber "b-b-b-but I have a positive post count!" as if anyone with plat can't do a quick 30 second peek at their post history and say "methinks the poster doth protest too much".

pog boyfriend posted:modding QCS is immensely difficult because trying to stamp down on brigading is extremely hard to do unevenly. trying to strike a balance between giving everyone a voice and preventing a group of posters from drowning out the conversation was something i struggled with myself, and therefore i can not say there is an easy answer to the problem a bigot's voice is not worth the same amount as a victim's voice.

Sestze posted:are those tossed upon the funeral pyre forgotten, did the utter destruction and removal of nazi symbolism in Germany lead to that country making the same mistakes again? I’m agreeing with you. Restarting the subforum with “new rules” solves nothing; all traces of it need to be erased. The only way anyone should be able to learn about FYAD is by reading a carefully curated SApedia article about its bigotry.

I know most of what you're saying is meant to be taken as hyperbolic, but in all honesty, yes, FYAD shouldn't be here, the reasons why it isn't here anymore should be summarized in the SAclopedia, and we shouldn't make the same mistake again. you can keep trying to drown people out by shitposting about neopets and hannibal for several pages, but it won't work. this forum pioneered the very tactics you use for trolling.

Sestze posted:ah but you see, pog boyfriend, you come to this strange conclusion that all posters are equal in value, and that all posters provide the same amount of content. no, that is not the intent of my post at all. i never even implied that at any point. all opinions are not equal in value. to give a classic example of what i was referring to, every time a thread about cspam would originate(with many users asking for more mods), the thread would devolve into people either discussing cspam as a forum, or discussing the politics of posters. this caused the thread to be filled with debates until it was locked. similarly, when critique of gbs 2.0s misogynistic threads came out, many users from gbs came to defend it, creating the tired meme “dont like dont read”, an idea that criticism of a forum is irrelevant because its content is subjective and the site has no values. if the rule was to be stringently enforced that users from one specific subforum could not mob a thread for issues they care about, then... well, i am sure you get where i am going with this.

The good news is, it looks like FYAD has finally taken its mandate of self moderation seriously. I know it’s small comfort, but at least we won’t have to read any more of their dogwhistles. I only hope the forums administration takes this as a sign that they won’t receive any pushback if they just go ahead and erase the subforum from the source code.

There is no thread to "restart" this ongoing saga, because it's still ongoing and QCS is closed. IMO if mods are unhappy about this issue constantly leaking out over multiple threads in multiple subforums they must reopen QCS with tighter moderation. Until then, their constant attempts to rein it in will come to nothing

If it gets too heated, just limit it to just posts, no replies. I think this is a very important conversation to have, but I just don't think PYF (or fyad or tgrs for that matter) are the places for it. GBS seems to be housing all the other qcs threads, maybe make one there?

Sestze posted:thank you, I am making the point that there exists a lot of bigotry inside of the FYAD-lites, every time one was created for a subforum there was a teething period where the first iterations of it were hotbeds of some seriously nasty poo poo, and then were viciously pruned and restarted to remove that bigotry. this is in theory a good idea, but suppose someone wanted to criticize the mod of the motorcycle forum. as a subforum mod or ik for qcs, are we to close the forum down and wait for the cool motorbike mod to ride in and post their take before reopening it? in that case, discussion of systemic issues would have all of their power given to the mods to decide which discussion is and is not permitted. this is, of course, assuming it would be timely. the motorbike mod might have some bike stuff they have to do, and can not respond to the forum. should we require the volunteer mods be ready to post in QCS at all times, phoning them in real life? this solution does not seem feasible to me.
