The problem wasn’t necessarily people being horny because I didn’t see a lot of that, it’s the fact that people are just really loving obsessive about the tubers and just hunt for drama. In a thread that should be like funny clips or links to streams that aren’t fetish tier lists, we got epic speculation about rushia’s mental health instead.

Is Baal one of those people who deals with anger at others through self-harm or something?

Saying "I wonder if the mod self-harms" is not showing consideration for them imo. It's weird speculation about a forum users and its super strange you think that the post was like just being nice or whatever.

So one of the projects for this sub that's been a long time coming is refreshing some of the ancient threads.

The recommendation thread dates back to 2015 and I think it is time for a refresh.

I will also get started on the spring 2022 anime thread.

I have no intention of changing anything here but I do think a few megathreads need some love.

it was bad verbiage to be sure, but captain baal very clearly and openly did not react well to the situation and you can easily interpret their posts as beating themselves up over it a bit. i think it is okay to express that you hope that they won't hurt themselves, albeit in a better or different tone. personally, i think that's better than saying "lol the pedophile moderator coward had a meltdown"

I'd like to know a little bit about what's going on behind closed doors--were the shittiest posters on the vtuber thread getting reported?


I don't care if the thread is gone and never reappears, that's really not my issue. I'm more wondering if the report system was even doing its job in this particular case. Cause it feels like you might as well remove the function entirely if problems are better solved by threadshitting and QCS threads in the aftermath.


It was a stupid problem for this subforum to have, and it was handled poorly by just about everyone.

When I said "meltdown" I didn't mean it quite that way. I was, as I said, speaking from experience for the emotions when you have a stressful time modding and gently caress it up in a public way, with a bunch of people telling you how badly you hosed up. Just wanting nothing to do with the forums for a while is, I think, a perfectly normal response, and clicking the permaban button on yourself in such a highly emotional state shouldn't really be taken to have any deep meaning. And it's good that the admins don't grant those requests.

Thank you. I appreciate that kind of insight. It gives some context from someone who's been there, and I can totally understand Captain Baal just wanting to take a break.

captain baal is mad at posts on an internet forum and doesn't want to be a mod anymore

that's it

he handed out a couple grudge probes and demanded the admins permaban him. we have no reason to think he's physically gonna self-harm, and bringing up the possibility is so absolutely out of nowhere that it feels weird

I'm still making the seasonal threads, you don't have to worry about those. Spring thread will get posted in 3-4 weeks. But yeah updating the recommendations thread would be good. Thanks for stepping in to help for a bit Fluffdaddy.

There were some reports from that thread but like most insular threads, people will go out of their way to protect each other, even if someone is being a complete weirdo.

It's just like when mods are accused of circling the wagons on a moderators decision, the same thing happens in threads. People tend to go "yea that was creepy, but I know MY posting pals would never actually be a weirdo".

As an admin team, most of us feel like if a thread needs more attention than the rest of the subforum, then it's probably not worth keeping around.

not all self-harm is physical, though the OP could've meant that when they made the post. i can agree that it does come off really weird with how it was stated

While I agree with the sentiment, I think cleaning house might have fixed the problem. I don't think I saw anyone in that thread get more than like a day's probe aside from Bloom, which doesn't really fix the problem either for the people making creepy horny posts or the deliberate thread-making GBS threads. Nobody is going to give a poo poo about a day's probe, and just laugh it off. Although, I can understand not wanting to babysit the thread while all the creepy posters are purged.

Threads can be redeemed. The visual novel thread used to be absolutely terrible and full of incredibly creepy posters. I don't really care if the vtuber thread isn't brought back though.

Come on you can't seriously claim it was the Vtuber thread that was circling the wagons in this scenario.
