Whenever (x) isn't posting in the Trump/Covid/Tesla/Climate/Riots megathread, all the other users should be asking, where's (x)?

gradenko_2000 has tons of experience modding a huge Phillipines subreddit. They know how to do this and will do a good job.

Moreover I find gradenko to be personally trustworthy and wholesome. They handled the pandemic honorably by consistently advocating responsibility. In the COVID thread they've stood up against repeat abusive posters. Personally I also like that they're well read and outspoken about the dark history of intelligence programs---so in my mind, appointing them to the highest position possible would help foster trust that this website is not some kind of online intelligence front for messing with leftists.

I like having a bunch of different non politics threads in CSPAM. If CSPAM was *just* obsessive politics posting it might become more like the blasted hellscape pedantry of D&D, where dipshits endlessly police the content of threads to make sure everything stays on topic and off topic fun is banished to some other forum. I like the more relaxed feel of CSPAM, and having gaming threads that aren't obsessed with strictly interpreting Mass Effect through a Marxist lens goes a long ways towards creating that feel.

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!

literally shaking that i am robbed of moderatorship because podcasts are mathematically slightly more everycspammish than pop culture

btw who are the top thirty cspam posters anyway it would not at all surprise me to learn that the pop culture thread is only so high up there because im like number thirty one or something

there's a place for everybody here. i think all of the threads are important to our community and it's very weird to me to want to ship some of them off to other forums, or shut them down. i mean a thread vacation somewhere else seems fun tho.

I only voiced support of that because people in one thread seemed to roll out into other threads they didn't like in order to shitpost them into oblivion. That's it. And I don't care where people post, or what they're interested in, but the only reason I knew what thread they were from was because they basically identified themselves.

Still, I fundamentally believe that anyone losing a forum home, whether it's a whole forum, or a thread, because of some bad posting sucks rear end. That shouldn't happen unless it's actually the entire forum or the entire thread that's absolutely beyond redemption and I don't really think that has happened much in these forums history. There are better ways to go about dealing with it.

Does (apparently) objectionable trump thread material really get posted frequently in other threads? I mean besides the times when someone who doesn't like it happening in the trump thread brings it up to argue something. I don't read a whole ton of threads most of the time so this is a real question.

I ask because there clearly seems to be an appetite for posting about games and cooking and other things with people that you can somewhat safely assume share some of your overall leanings in political thought—and presumably other things as well. if the place for that kind of congregation is not here, then where?

I do wonder if the people who feel this way venture into other forums with any regularity. For example, while it may not be discussed all that often inside the forum, AI is one of the few left leaning areas for automotive discussion available ANYWHERE, online or in real life. We recognize it is a rare thing to have that kind of space where anyone left of center is tolerated, much less the majority and have a vested interest in keeping it that way now that we have a home. In short, come post about wrenching on rusty shitboxes with us comrade, bonus points for EV swapping a volga. :sun:

yeah, we do. the cspam threads are still fun because they're with a different community and, crucially, they're about a big topic all in one thread instead of a bunch of specialized threads. kinda hard to go from talking disco elysium to mass effect to donkey kong anywhere in games. but i would guess that most cspam gaming thread posters read threads in games, etc. as well.

It would help if well-known and well-loved women from a given thread were simply made IKs pre-emptively before they ever get ganged up on by the forum mafia.

Imagine if snoo, snake and bake, and facetoucher cat had been IKs/mods all along, to help the place chill out instead of what happened
i realize this may be a bit but i assure you the way to make women feel more welcome is not to put random ones on pedestals because men have decided they like them.

trump thread posting (at least when it spills over into here/good c-spam threads/qcs) reminds me a lot of the ~2018-era gbs crowd who posted that krusty the clown pic everywhere. it's not that the content is harmful or whatever, they just don't have any kind of social awareness and make other threads worse to read.

I agree with this comparison and I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation to ask posters to pretend to be normal when they're outside their clubhouse. There's not really an appreciable difference between this spillover and that one GBS weirdo who shows up in unrelated threads to post anime snake girls. Maybe your friends in your home thread who speak the same language would find it really funny but divorced from the context of mutual understanding it's just impenetrable and annoying

so i guess we're down to one mod now? i agree that lighter moderation overall is the ideal, but maybe expediting a couple of people to share in the mod duty burden should be a priority?

I'm pretty sure if someone spammed "TRIMPO" or "beefers" in non-chat thread they'd be DJ Jazzy Jeff'd out of the thread
