C-SPAM is a fun forum, leave it as it is. Any significant changes made to make it more like whatever some people think it "should" be or to give it a more clearly defined niche as a subforum will probably just make things worse.

I read C-Spam but I hardly ever post in C-Spam. I like reading it though. I don’t follow the forums drama or intrigue much, but I feel it when someone who’s posts I like cops a 30 day ban or quits in rage (RIP Snoo). I aspire to  in C-Spam one day but am in an Australian Timezone and do PMC bullshit 13 hrs a day so for now am a passive participant (pending my guillotine). However, from my outsiders perspective I’m happy with how this place tracks along. I enjoy the content and the style. And looking at the number of users logged in vs users posting, I guess I’m not alone.

A Buttery Pastry posted:It was mentioned earlier that C-SPAM isn't a single community, but an aggregate of several, and I decided to actually do some stats on it. I took the non-sticky threads on the first page with more than a hundred posts, and looked at how large a percentage of posts the top 30 posters of that were responsible for, and how much overlap they had with the top 30 posters of other threads: Finally, some data-driven decision making! We can see that the podcasts thread has the most overlap with the rest of the forum. So we simply take the podcast thread poster whose posts get the most engagement. Everyone welcome the new C-SPAM mod, xtal!

I don't know what people are fighting about but there is a direct link between a subforum's quality and the amount of moderators and admins that appoint themselves judges of all content posted there. C-Spam is lightly moderated and is one of the better sub forums because of it. One of the main reasons for that is that the worst people that come to these forums have this idea that they should approve of everything posted here. Then they gang up and complain until the moderators eliminate the people and ideas they don't like. That's great when it's harmful ideologies or actual racism but it just never ends. So my feedback is that mods and admins should gently caress off and stop pretending a volunteer job that only exists to occasionally delete a NSFW image is a Shakespearean saga of a ruling political body that requires 0.00001% of this much thought before what remains of this forum eats it's own rear end in a top hat because of the idiots at the top that think their volunteer job is to constantly target the bottom with their stupid opinions and decisions.

Why the hell do so many people that don't post in the COVID thread, most of whom say they don't even read the COVID thread, care so much about whether or not the thread is to doomer for their personal tastes? Especially since it is nowhere near as doomer as people who self admittedly don't even read it seem to think it is.

Brain Candy posted:my suggestion is to reduce the report limit/and or ban the people who hit it Just make the reports public so everyone can see who is being a whiny little narc As for threads, the only bad stuff was the "talk poo poo get hit" and "gently caress around and find out" obsessions from last year about protests; not long after a goon with a concealed weapon got shot wouldn't get medical treatment out of fear of arrest. That era was weird but I think it's mostly over now

I agree mods should be Mostly hands off but if they want the forum to keep going and thrive they do - in my opinion - need to make some effort to protect posters who get targeted. It’s hard to do I admit and they have to read threads to understand what is just nonsense poo poo posting and what is actual malignant bullying.

I just want to poo poo post about politics adjacent topics and learn new things which is what mostly happens in CSPAM (for me at least) and the only parts I really don't like is all the posting about posters and people who post in threads to only be an rear end in a top hat/bully without contributing a single thing to the thread/topic. Basically drive by aggro posts really tick me off and I wish they were discouraged more.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Agreed. Posters too immersed in a singular chat culture seem incapable of switching into a different "voice" appropriate to the thread they're posting in. That's why people get annoyed at "chat thread posters", and why (as mentioned earlier) they're really easy to sniff out when they attempt to defend their "posting pals" in QCS. They're also a big part of why "C-SPAM" got such a bad rep in QCS, because they're nearly the only ones that read as 100% C-SPAM, since most other C-SPAM posters can post normally and not register as a C-SPAM posters.
