The state of CSPAM is strong There haven't been any huge blowouts in a while so that's good. I'm as much a fan of smiting my forum enemies as the next person but I think the light-handed approach to moderator intervention has been a good change - and giving the threads the autonomy to manage themselves without sweeping subforum rules seems like it has been an effective compromise to keeping the disparate CSPAM cliques happy. The big red line "do not cross" stuff is still getting dealt with swiftly enough too so... I dunno. Keep whittling away the poo poo and helping the good stuff thrive. I don't think there's any drastic course correction needed though.

i don't think i have any issues with c-spam moderation currently but then again i don't pay very attention to the meta-discussions this mod thread feels kind of like dictating stuff from on high though. how are mods chosen anyway? the first point about cultural genocide happening seems... pretty far from the c-spam consensus. at least from the perspective of the eurasia thread, where discussion would take place.

Loucks posted:I hadn’t seen any of those, but honestly thanks for providing an actual response instead of being smug and snarky for no reason at all. Doesn’t sound too bad except, of course, for the slurs. I’m aware that slurcrew finds my position there incomprehensible though. You should probably read the old marxism thread then. Larry is pretty well read, and overall a good contribution. People side with because the most hated of the last iteration of mods would pick fights with him, and then probe him for responding to aggressive comments. There were people even coming into the thread to scold him for responding to the fights. His perma was pretty BS. Given the slapfights that happen in almost every thread, and the obnoxious tendencies of goons I don't think he's even middle of the list of "bad" posters. Dickeye used to get into multi page fights with people who told them that being unpaid/making $4 an hour for working at a local gaming shop was bad.

crepeface posted:i don't think i have any issues with c-spam moderation currently but then again i don't pay very attention to the meta-discussions The comments about genocide are best seen in contrast to how D&D handles the issue, which is that what is happening is genocide and denial of such is met with discouraging probations. The point that we are trying to make is that we will not be issuing probations for "genocide denial" and that folks shouldn't ask for such. The Eurasia thread definitely has a consensus among the regulars there, but it would be unwise to suggest that there is any such thing as "CSPAM consensus". If folks want to roll in there and disagree, they're welcome to do so, but they're likely to be met with hostility. No one's saying they shouldn't, but we are saying that we are not going to issue probations for anyone on either side of the issue, simply because they hold a particular viewpoint. That was added specifically because we have occasionally gotten reports in the past from people who saw a post basically saying "the CCP is amazing and what's happening there is great" with the reason "genocide denial" to make it clear that we are not taking a forums position on the issue. As for how mods and IKs are chosen, there's a few different ways. First, we look for suggestions from the community. This has already happened once in this thread and happened in the last feedback thread too. Now, as we saw with R. Guyovich giving a rather shermanesque response when publicly suggested, folks often turn down the offer to mod or IK when asked. Because we don't want to put anyone on blast, we're not going to be sharing the list of people who were offered and declined from the last feedback thread, but I can assure you it is hilariously long. The second way that mods and IKs get chosen is by existing mods discussing which threads they all read and seeing where there are gaps. The idea here is then that the mods start reading the threads for a while and identify candidates who contribute positively and who they see interacting positively outside those threads. I understand that I was chosen because I followed and participated in the UFO and Epstein threads, and I happened to lurk a few others that were needing coverage too. The big goal with both of these is that we don't want mods and IKs that are disconnected from the community and who don't represent the threads that they're moderating. This is inevitable to some degree, since this is such a big community that it's impossible to have complete coverage, but nevertheless it's something that we're always going to strive toward. The third way mods and IKs get chosen is just by seeing posters in the threads we read who are contributing positively and who we think have the right temperament to be a mod or IK. I don't think it's controversial to say that just because someone is popular that doesn't automatically mean they'd be a good choice for mod or IK, so as mods we try to use our best judgment when balancing between who is a popular contributor and who would then do well with buttons. One of the big items from the last feedback thread was more input on who mods and IKs CSPAM, and that really is something that we're trying to take to heart. Obviously, this process is one that is ongoing and what I just wrote above isn't set in stone or like official policy, just me speaking off the cuff about the process. We're still looking for more mods and IKs, but perhaps unsurprisingly, it's hard to find people who want to voluntarily and without compensation clean the shitflinging monkey cages so the process is ongoing.

Look, either your Dark Souls game has the "well what is it" gesture or it doesn't.
