Every report about CSPAM is not from some outsider who doesn't contribute here, or from people trying to tear this place down. Yesterday there were 30 some reports for CSPAM. All of them but 5 are from people who when I look at their post history, are CSPAM posters. And the other ones are from what look like lurkers (probably read and dont post? Just post lurkers! You paid your 10 dollars, throw some words in a post) or others.

Making everything You Vs Them is lovely for a community. I'm personally capable of understanding context and figuring out when someone is reporting something or saying something is poo poo and they just have a vendetta. I would hope others have that same ability.

Enjoy your forum, enjoy your threads. Don't worry about other places.

This is true but when people whining about forums they don't even post in is proven to be a good way to get things changed in that forum for no real reason, a war footing must be adopted. Like we are a day away from some QCS regular posting "CSPAM is a politics forum, why do they have a cooking thread" and the thread getting closed because the rest of the regulars rush in to paint it as some kind of ultra low carb thread making people mentally ill,

Sometimes people just want to bitch about things. They want to be heard and get poo poo out there. Doesn't mean every time there is a "Look at this" post or report, means something is going to happen. If a report has value or comes from people that are effected by it, then maybe adjustments can be made.

Hell, in this thread there is divide on megathreads. There is no real solid "do this" push, so if I were a mod here, I'd lean toward leaving it how it is. It's about gathering information, figuring out what is best, and doing what the community wants.

Epic High Five posted:

if Athanos is posting here for some CSPAM context to better tell those idiots to pound sand, I think we'd all do well to provide it

Knowing what the actual threads are like is a boon for refuting people who say dumb poo poo like "All of CSPAM are bloodthursty doomsayers, close it."

Joementum posted:

I don't think there are any major issues with CSPAM that need to be resolved. It's the forum for shitposting about politics and current events and that's fine. If people don't like the posting in a particular thread, they can start their own (which mods should leave alone and not gas) and see if other people want to post there. If there are abusive or harmful posts, those should be reported for a mod to deal with or discussed with mods in PMs.

Please just let people shitpost in peace instead of indulging the few who have some weird grudge to settle or enjoy trolling here.

I'll also say it again, just for anyone just checking in:

I'm not running this thread to make big sweeping changes. Hell, I'm not running this thread to make any changes if nothing is needed. I just want to leave you all with better knowledge of what I am about, and learn some poo poo myself. My hope is I come away with a better way of providing you mods that can help make and keep the forum readable and enjoyable.

Leftists need to go to the leftist sub forum, ok now some are getting too rowdy in their threads so leftist poo poo posting needs to happen in C-SPAM-> Shitposting now, ok now some of that isn’t what I want to read anymore so now it needs to be C-SPAM-> Shitposting -> Double Shitposting

except the other places want to get cspam closed and paint the forum in the worst light possible outside of cspam. like step into the China threads (which you should do anyway because they’re cesspits) and they all act like cspam is an unregistered agent of the PRC

The Trump thread talks about many topics, much like the Marx thread. Ergo, it isn't a chat thread.

Well they don't have me convinced and I'm the person who would close the forums so I don't really care what tale they want to spin. Some people in CSPAM think all D&D posters are horrible and want to get it closed too. It's why when I want to know about a forum, I go to the forum. This "Tell me about XXX forum" is not the first feedback thread I've run.

There will always be idiots. It's figuring out what idiots have a point that is the hard part. Going somewhere and gathering info is the important part.

Wouldn’t know, I don’t read those.

Which I suppose is at the crux of this feedback thread. I stopped reading the Trump thread because when I went looking for the latest on America’s Next Top Boss, it was mostly Trompo posts and nothing worth reading. I didn’t complain to anyone about it because I figured that’s just their idle state when there isn’t anything on topic going on. It can be funny sometimes but when it’s just pages and pages of the same joke it really does get old.

There definitely does need a balance to be struck between Shitposting and just completely no effort (C)spam. I’m not quite sure how to get there, but I’d hate for the sub forum to get broken up or for us to get super anal about quality.
