Slippery posted:I don't think anyone is covering for him or circling any wagons. this forum is not only a second job for everyone but also a big unwieldy place. so it would make sense that new bosses have to take a moment or two in order to figure out what to do Slippery posted:i am not good with irony sorry. I am trying to share that in real life experiences that relate to taking over the leadership of an organization, even when the predecessor was a dipshit, you don't want to come in guns-a-blazing and just slap the table for a ton of major changes immediately. you want to like have a coherent plan for the changes you will make and a timeline for implementing them removing someone who covered up domestic violence isn't a table slapping drastic change, it doesn't take any deliberation and it is not an unclear subject. Something awful forums aren't a corporate office or whatever tortured analogy you are dragging out

Rectal Death Adept posted:Ah yes. That old pro-tier professional business move. Unfair as it is it's possible that there's exonerating evidence or context that would make Renee and Burt's dismissal foolish. It's not likely, but it's possible and a sign of actual responsible leadership-- even over a "dead gay forum"-- to bear it out. That said if there's no transparency about that during the transition, then yeah gently caress everything and burn it down it's a "new boss same as the old boss" situation.

JakeP posted:this is a online message board, with volunteer moderators that have done a very bad job being good people oh gently caress off, they're perfectly decent people they're just normal people under scrutiny, and every single person fails under the kind of scrutiny this website levels. that's why, ironically, the smart move is to never seek a leadership position here. you already had people making "jeffrey epstein of yospos" jokes as soon as they found out jeffrey exists even though they know nothing about him... probably a pedo though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd say "how do you manage to deal with your coworkers if you lock up with delusions that someone is a rapist as soon as they mention they have kids" but then the answer dawned on me

Pick posted:oh gently caress off, they're perfectly decent people i feel like not everyone would have been aggressively removing police reports and banning people talking about lowtax's abuse. Given the power to intervene i'm going to say a few people might have not taken sides against the woman hiding in a domestic violence shelter with her children. Maybe i'm just crazy and this is just one of those Atlas moments a mere mortal can not understand. The burden of reading words as a hobby is just so strong it makes people spontaneously enable wifebeaters.

reminder that Burt covered up of Lowtax abuse, and when found out he didn't even apologise and self banned like a loving coward reminder that he has only been banned, which is basically a slap on the wrist perma ban Burt

Breadallelogram posted:They lose nothing from being removed from their positions. It's not like their livelihoods are on the line here. I actually do agree if we're making this a "bottom line" discussion. A good signal for actual sea change in SA culture would be to tell those two to gently caress off, but that's almost certainly not how it looks from an organizational perspective. Like it or not they were the idiots insane enough to want to moderate this cesspool and like it or not they were effective enough to last a good long while. Those are empirical facts, not judgments either way. Creating a vacuum, however small, in their absence could easily be the "one thing too many" to manage, and in case you haven't noticed keeping them around is pretty effective boar bait for keeping the angry users distracted and busy. Better to keep them on, assess the situation while the actual ownership is still up in the air, and hopefully oust them when the time is right.
