It's also probably why they didn't want to give CSPAM its own mods because you guys would whistleblow the gently caress out of them.

tbf how would anyone normal handle being told about it

At this point if I was in charge I would roll back like, every mod decision that's happened in the last like two months and just politely beg if we could just pretend it's like november 25th and all this other stuff didn't happen.

just give in to all the smaller demands from there

tbh knowing what mods knew, and when, is pretty important if we're to trust or respect them at all

At this point, I'm not sure how that could be done without opening the mod forums or getting all new mods

i just want to quickly state that ppj perma banning himself not only wasn't necessary, it is the consequence of a series of terrible decisions made by the moderation team over the last few weeks.

The administration has not acted in good faith, not engaged in good faith, and just done whatever the gently caress it felt like. Whenever a forum would get out of hand, we'd get a few paragraphs of "oh here you go now go away and shut up" and it was loving absurd.

Here's the reason this matters:

This is a community. We exist in this community. Some of us care deeply about other members of this community. With your total ineptitude, you have shattered portions of OUR community. My friends are gone. They can't or won't come back, and it is completely and totally because of your actions. We stay and get angry because we WANT to be here, and we want to work with moderators who engage with us in good faith and are part of the community that we built.

If you can't understand that, and its clear that basically none of you do, then you need leave. And now.

Imagine letting the power of being a mod go to your head so much you think going undercover in a nazi discord is a great idea

i still have a hard time believing the story he and jeff and KM threw out. too much of it is just unnecessarily complicated, plus that sun tzu person putting another nail in the coffin

it seems far more likely that ppj was just posting in a nazi discord, someone else caught wise, and the whole fable spun up out of necessity to justify what ppj was doing

like he couldn't provide even one example of his "operation" successfully unmasking a nazi on our forums

this is so incompetently handled im almost convinced he might be a spook b/c of the history of d&d moderation
