bane mask golem posted:I think it's time that we talk about it, for sure OP. I really like fyad humor also even if I wasn't allowed to post there. It's sad that there isn't anywhere on the forum for that style of humor. Can I bounce the question back to fyad regulars? What would be required to make a forum "feel" like fyad, without the worst of the ironic bigotry that gets vice media to publish bald lies about it? I think you should post this in FYAD if you really want to hear from FYAD regulars.

like as far as I can tell people on this site are made mods either by happenstance or because they're hooked in to some back-slapping network of offsites. even when the admins ask for mod recommendations they seldom follow those recommendations e.g. the most recent d&d mod rec thread where they ended up promoting people no one asked for. homex was the last admin to actually take those nominations seriously but he was forced to quit so if people are generally promoted to mod for any reason or no reason or a dumb reason, it seems fitting that they would eventually go back to regular posters for equally dumb reasons. yet somehow this only happens to good mods/IKs the community wants to keep around, like gradenko. but to get rid of a bad mod you have to form a loving mob in QCS what I'm saying is the admins of this site are incompetent loving crybaby losers as well as just irritating on a personal level, and should be fired and frankly we'd probably be better off if the site was bought out by like the communist party of china

mods: "give us feedback, tell us what you want" posters: "we want a more democratic process for mod selection, and we want a process to recall poo poo mods." mods: "yes, these are good ideas that at least one of us has been thinking about. give us your thoughts." posters: "get rid of crusty nutsack" mods: "nope."

Crusty Nutsack posted:you got the history part right, but it was the opposite when I became the only cspam mod. I checked the gently caress out because I was angry that the admins demodded the only other two mods, leaving me to run it alone. I didn't sign up for that; I don't want to be the only arbiter of rules or punishments or anything else. just in sheer size it's impossible for one person to run effectively as a volunteer and also have a life. at the time that happened, my personal life was better than it had been in a long time, so I just told the admins I was mostly checked out because I had better things to do. I kept in touch with the iks (because they rock and deserve mod support), but pretty much stopped doing reports completely at that time lol so I can understand how any actions I took during that period were seen as hostile or parachuting in or something. I only dealt with things that were brought to my attention by users or admins, really. the mystery of why the fat guy lumbered into cspam to shoot bans repeatedly has been solved

Lib and let die posted:mods: "give us feedback, tell us what you want" Neither Lib and Let Die or gradenko_2000 will be made mods at this time. The why of this has to do with our criteria for choosing mods. Despite it being desired by some posters, forums can not have a direct election or hand-picked choice of moderators. This is because no forum exists in a vacuum, it shares resources and discussions with mods from every forum. Sensitive discussions for every forum's topic take place in the explicit understanding that all mods and admins can be trusted to keep this information private. This extends to issues surrounding users as well. Some of it is very sensitive, and involves very personal information. As an example, we have had instances of real life sexual assault and harassment between goons where the victim wanted us to be aware of it, preferred if they did not have to continue posting with the perpetrator, but did not want to draw attention to themselves by having it made public, or at the very least having their involvement made public. Mods need to be able to keep confidences, for both the mod team and other users who approach them with sensitive issues. For a mod to be chosen, an important criteria to satisfy is whether or not they are capable of doing so, and this is determined by the current mod and admin team. At this time we have misgivings about the ability of these proposed candidates to do so, both based on what we have seen on the live forums and what other users have communicated to us. That said, your requests for moderators to be chosen from the CSPAM community are completely reasonable, and we'll make every effort to find trustworthy moderators from within the community who have CSPAM and Something Awful's best interests at heart. Asking Smythe if he would be interested in moving over from QCS to CSPAM was part of that - he's been a vocal advocate the forum even when not modding it. Having him approach your community directly on that front was in direct response to these requests. I know that many will find this unsatisfactory. Please understand that when making these decisions we always error on the side of protecting those in our community who may need to take advantage of what confidentiality we can offer.

A lot of people have rightfully brought up that people get around the r-word ban by posting euphemisms that everyone knows are still meant to evoke someone with an intellectual disability. my gut reaction is to start doing probes for those euphemisms, but I think that would just lead to more of them. Basically forever chasing the newest euphemism on behalf of people who are very unlikely to ever read the CSPAM forums. There are probably people reading who have family or loved ones whom these slurs are directed at (self included), and some folks who got lumped into that category due to other mental disabilities, but this is still a “protecting people who aren’t using the forums/modding on their behalf.” I think people who use these slurs are being lovely, and that anyone informed enough to regularly post in CSPAM knows better. But at some point there has to be some trust in the community to police itself. For people to be able to say “drat, this dude keeps using this slur” and call it out. Like maybe something where people are encouraged to allow some sincerity in the community of calling out lovely behavior or wording, and some trust for people to figure out on their own if it’s someone doing holier than thou trolling or actually bothered by stuff. I think if someone is the kind of rear end in a top hat who genuinely has hate toward the disabled, they’re going to wind up getting probed or banned for that because they won’t shut the gently caress up about it. encourage folks in the community to talk to each other about lovely language rather than having a mod step in. Like, a person I know telling me “hey man your use of that bothers me” is gonna do way more than an arbitrary authority telling me I got caught breaking the rule and get a probe would. anyway, free Larry. I don’t think he’s the Rosa parks of saying the r-word, but he made a salient point. And reading other folks talking about it and discussion on it has lead me to change my mind on the issue, and I’m a little rule follower stooge at heart. also, as a mental health professional, it is insulting as gently caress for some rear end in a top hat on the internet to claim they know better about Larry’s mental health than he does. Dont loving try to claim that authority. gross. edit: just say you don’t like his posting. don’t pretend to be doing him a psychic favor.
