There’s an alternate universe where someone posted a low content dig against brand posts, no moderator weighed in, and it was forgotten before the end of the page.

Moon Slayer, Please moderate less assertively or noticeably. A tremendous portion of the last several pages is about you in one way or another. No one likes it when the referees are the most memorable part of a game of basketball.

By being more judicious about when you assert yourself as a mod, you will be more effective and credible when moderation is required.

That would also be my preference, the forum does, regrettably, need someone who can press the buttons occasionally, but I have never in any instance found a thread to be improved by someone taking access to the buttons as license to start treating the forum as a science experiment or creative piece. Nearly all threads, especially ones with several thousand pages, are entirely capable of proceeding in a manner that people can partcipate in or not as they choose, and dont need anybody to micromanage them.

So is Arby's bad? And what very specific regional food chains do people prefer? Alright see you in 10 pages

If corporate tweets ever get banned I think Arbys should get a pass. That one's obviously just some nerd who somehow fell into a paid gig doing little arts and crafts and I'm happy for them

Just require all Arby's post also include a nihilist arby's post.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
I don't come to this thread to either get advertised to or to have my time wasted by "you won't believe this poo poo i just made up" amateur creative writing projects. I think that a little gentle chiding from the peanut gallery is sufficient to discourage those bad tweets, and that making a rule against that chiding is dumb as hell and will make this thread significantly worse in the long term.

Message received: I was well-intentioned but probably didn't explain myself too well which led to confusion and further derails. Continue posting as before like this whole derail never happened.

All tweets are good it's just that some are only good in the sense of being an example of what not to tweet*. For example, take this from a week ago.
