I feel like this forum is over-moderated, especially as a sub of SAS which at this point is a fairly loosely moderated forum. I don't think that's Jerusalem's fault though, people here demand moderator intervention for so many things and get angry at the lightest tangents and are just so stuffy. In this scenario I think people are getting the moderation they're asking for.

Chill out everyone. It's so easy to just ignore most people who suck here, you don't even have to use the feature, just read their posts and ask yourself "why would I ever bother to respond to that?" and move on.

The want for moderation is a bit understandable, from the wrestling side. Not that I personally want a heavily moderated forum, but I can see what would cause people to want that or leans towards it. WWE is connected to Trump and therefore politics at its highest levels. It is also rife with talks about unionization or worker exploitation and things like racism. This topics can get very heated very fast, which would want people to call in a mod to punish those that they feel are upsetting the conversation or getting too hot about it.

It is just something that I think can be worked out with actual talking before it escalates to a level that requires time outs or something.


However it may have mutated beyond that scope though, and be used as a crutch for off-topic discussions or using mods to snipe at other posters. I don't really know and I don't think any regular posters would really stoop to that but if heavy moderation became ingrained in the community then that just may have become a natural first-resort

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

I appreciate this and it makes sense to me. I guess really then it's about trying to find where the right line for what is too much again for the forum zeitgeist.

If anything this would make fight island less popular, buried all the way down the page there instead of being the valet of the good and popular Sports Are Striking

Mekchu posted:

Also Athanatos made a post in QCS or something. Basically, if a post is reported thats it. There's no more reports alotted to that post and you get the "this post was already reported" response.

I feel like that is an area in need of a lot of fixing but thats a code jockeys job and not something I can help.

I don't think it's a bug or some weird consequence of old code, it's just an intentionally implemented limit, from what I understand:

Here's the post and context, by the way

IKs cant see reports unless I am really bad at being an IK.

punk rear end spurious reports should be more probatable than standalone gimmick posts. It's poo poo like that which makes moderating hard.

e. and there should be a name and shame on it too

ah yes because what SA truly needs is more witchhunts what could go wrong

There should never be witch hunts unless the witch is extremely harmful in an objective way. And justly, it should be considered completely evil and illegal to initiate witch hunt tactics on people who have already been 'outed' from the beginning because they were open and upfront about their thoughts, unless in the same way they are very harmful. I think Seth Rollins should be moderator of this forum.

Sorry I've been slow on adding you all a new mod (or 2). No excuses on my end.

I'm getting the wheels going again, I have a lot of names to reach out and talk to.

If you would like to suggest anyone, please drop by my inbox. I appreciate the hell out of the people who have reached out so far.
