Give some poor unsuspecting bastard the mod star. If they suck and CSPAM hates them (or they just arent suited for the job) set up an easy process to recall them without waiting for a meltdown.

Hi. Long-time lurker, started posting more in the past couple of years. I tend to stay in the gbs trump thread and cspam. Sometimes dnd.

Cspam and dnd are two completely different creatures, where one is a more serious approach on events and requires debate and evidence. Its nice, but it always worried me that i might push the wrong buttons. I never felt prepared to take on a lot of the people in there.

In cspam, i appreciate its relaxed shitposting approach. It really helped during trump years because while my family were freaking out or falling for the trump train, i could escape to laugh at the incompetence of it all and there were others that felt like me.

I only started to really get involved with the chat thread due to the drama. If people were getting banned or leaving, i felt that my time to add my dumb opinion to things was coming. I liked the community that was built here and in the GBS trump thread.

So far, i think people like me. I know they like my cats.

As far as mods, i feel there should be less favoritism and cliques among mods. Mods are meant to be neutral parties and i feel that a lot of the drama and pressure stems from the favoritism and touch of power when probing. It be nice if the mod also had a good sense of sarcasm and humor, which a lot of the posts consist of. Getting a modship shouldn't be dreaded or villified, but neither should it be glorified. Its a volunteer job for the board you love, not a 9-5. I dont have any mods in mind, but i just hope these traits are in consideration.

I know the admins and mods are trying and i do appreciate the steps youre taking, for what its worth.

Here you go assuming their gender is the only possible reason to want to make them IKs, but not the fact that they are all good chill posters who bring interesting research and stories to the COVID thread that people enjoy. Calling them "random women" and categorizing their well-regarded thread histories in terms of what you assume men think is a poo poo attitude.

If their gender makes them a target due to forums cliques and moderation, then the obvious question is why weren't they the ones in power. They had already hit all the other qualifications such as being well liked. Also having a history of reacting well to thread conflicts which IMO is the only qualification for modship that matters besides trust.

Everything this guy posts makes my skin crawl

If you want to support women or whatever you can empower me by never posting again

Maybe not anymore but thats how it appeared when i started following dnd pre cspam. I started lurking dnd since the giffords shooting, as it was my jumping point into politics. There were articles and discussions about articles and there were debates. I feel it became increasingly pedantic, but it was a good start for someone that had a vague sense of politics.

No one has come forth with a good reason to move threads out of CSPAM so it's not something I am going to do.

it's this, there's not really a reason to keep it here since it's gone so far afield and has its own clique that's seemingly contrary to the rest of the forum:

ive said id like the chat thread in cccc, because thats the forum for chat threads where people can post with their pals and not have other people have a big opinion about it. if you ask people what their vision of the forum is, some are gonna say theyd rather not have a kind of self contained chat thread where people post poll site mascots getting their rear end blasted loosely associated with them for posting here, and stuff like that. im not saying posting weird poo poo with your pals is like, putting you beneath my wonderful 2k word posts about loving bullshit, just that there is a place, for that, and its cccc.

but i also dont want people to feel like its an exile or some hater thing, like id want them to have their chat thread there, without feeling like they're now Less CSPAM than before or whatever, i dont want to start some umbrage laden pissing match or make people feel unwanted, its just if you wanna post your in jokes and poo poo in a place where nobody will ever dispute the presence of your pal around zone then there's cccc IM JUST SAYIN'

i do follow the advice of just not reading the thread but if i see that style of posting in other places boy howdy i will have An Opinion and probably voice it in a feedback zone and you better watch out for that i guess

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

The connection between all three of those posters is they were all in bad places and tried to post through it. I really liked snoo as a poster but everything I liked about her was gone by the time she self exiled. It probably didn’t help that she, an actual working class person, was now surrounded by work from home computer perverts yucking it up about the end of the world while pet catte. Ultimately all three needed support, not a loving IK star.

But its not like threads are a limited resource. Theres no reason *not* to have a bunch of threads so long as people enjoy posting in them.

That was my understanding as well that many of these posters who were "driven away" were in fact doing the most intelligent self care thing they could do which was to leave the frankly lovely environment of the threads in question

I think overall CSPAM is in real good shape. I like that there’s a diversity of threads, not all of them dealing with heavy “traditionally” political topics. I do sympathize with the AI mod that popped in and said that the rest of the forums are pretty leftist as well. by the same token tho, I don’t think the forums are diminished by having, for example, a CSPAM games thread and a Games politics and current events thread. if anything the overlap encourages posters to branch out into other subforums they might not have otherwise gone to

I think there can be a bit too much modding sometimes. like arf and spb will get hit with probes or have their threads gassed and it’s not necessary. let their posts stand or fail on their own merits

And also,

you aren't being hurt. this was never a laser-focused political space, ever. ever! in the days before it was cspam, yeah, sort of. but the whole point of the series of events that led to this subforum's creation was to make a space for casual posting about absurd things. that's really it, politics is an extremely fruitful source of absurdity but it's not the only thing we talk about. this rewriting history poo poo to claim that anything that isn't the marxism thread needs to leave the subforum is incredibly tiresome. this is like inviting a bunch of people into your house and then having them say they want to evict you.


i don't think it's actually intentional dude, but that's what it feels like when i see no indications of chat vs everyone else tension ever in any of the threads i post in beyond some very surface-level rivalry. i would think that if there were actual tension it would be a lot more obvious because none of us are really subtle people

ABOUT THIS GAME

About This Game

【About "The Hurricane of the Varstray"】
"The Hurricane of the Varstray" is a vertically scrolling shoot'em up with a SF story: in the distant future, to defend the Earth against the invasion of mystery mechanical structures, 4 girls head to "the Varstray sector," far away from the Earth and considered as the villain.

This is the latest original work by "Studio SiestA" which produced "The TOMBOYISHl☆WITCHES" after an interval of 7 years, into which we exhaustively poured our long-held shooting game development know-how!


【Feature】
■Abundant in game mode
・Arcade mode : basic mode with 12 stages total
・Score attack mode : mode to compete on how much you can score within a certain time
(This mode will be implemented with an additional free patch in early Jan.)
・Story mode : mode to enjoy the story with voices attached to all the characters
・Unlock mode : special mode which will appear when you fulfill certain conditions
Additionally, you can freely select (by default) 1 character from among 4. Every character has different properties and you'll get a wide range of attack methods.

■Supporting English
The game interface supports Japanese and English. You can also select subtitle language in "Story mode." Therefore, English-speaking people can enjoy the game content exhaustively.

■Offering various download contents
After the release of the main story, the successive provision of download contents such as additional modes or characters is scheduled; you can play it long time.

■Offering refreshed feeling for a wide range of users
Various relief measures for beginners are ready to have them experience the same refreshed feeling as that of experts.
Additionally, methods of operation are designed to be user-intuitive; anyone can enjoy the game right away.
