That’s why you have to trust and empower your mods to make decisions based on context. An admission that you don’t want to make choices just vindicates one side and leaves the other side not feeling listened to. It becomes an us vs them when admin policy is to ignore nuance

I'm remembering when some qcs dipshit posted some vtuber clip that was a joke about them being galaxy themed or w/e so they're technically a baby in the grand scheme of the cosmos and people just took it as fact that she's actually underage for like 3/4th of the entire vtuber drama. I think fluff was the only admin/mod to actually watch the clip and say that's not what it was saying, which was funny to me.

remember the chuunibyou concern troll, honestly had to hand it to that guy, it was good work. seem to remember fluffdaddy thinking it was very concerning though, which is maybe slightly zorak-level fail for an ADTRW mod

There was one admin that Baal felt supported by, and it wasn’t you.

i kinda feel like fluffdaddy's subtly mischaracterizing the entire baal thing talking about "us" treating mods like poo poo because i really clearly remember his frustration about getting no support when qcs and fyad were barraging the forum

you can talk a lot about "changing the culture" and it means absolutely nothing when there's one special subforum where it is ok and encouraged to make hate threads and simultaneously act like the forum's moral compass while also being able to say all the slurs they want

i dont really care about them having their zone i mostly care when they are celebrated for spilling out and throwing slime all over the walls

The best part of that is that the drama crew accusing everyone of being a pedophile has had 0 hits, while plutonis actually called out a thread about people posting about how much they wanted to gently caress actual minors and ADTWR inmediately permabanned the mod who got caught retweeting pedo poo poo on Twitter.

This is less about the discussion happening right now and more about the general concept of getting a mod for ADTRW, but an opinion I just wanna throw out there is that I would like to see the eventual next mod be someone that accepts the gig moreso to engage with the community than to be someone that has to clean up the place. Not that the latter is never needed but for the most part this place doesn't need as much mod action as other forums? Specifically I'm thinking about The Book Barn as a model which for my money's worth is a fine place to talk about books in no small part due to HA's hard work over the years. Make the place feel less stagnant, as it were. I realize that's kinda vague but it's not a simple process after all.

I don't have a specific candidate for that in mind though! It's certainly a big ask. I've gone over these thoughts with a few pals and they have told me that they agree but also to never nominate them haha.

It's not Anime posters, but people brigading in from other forums going "Won't anyone do anything about the degenerate pedophiles in our midsts!" Though, even within the sub we have people that say poo poo like ":rolleyes: are we ever going to stop watching content for 15 year old Otaku :jerkbag:"

And also, from previous accounts, the Mod receives next to no support from others when it comes time to ask for probes and whatnot.

Why does this guy have a hateboner against me

Honestly this is one of the easiest modding gigs on the site. Its not controversial like a politics forum, its not busy like GBS. But again, people are not willing to do it because being a mod puts a target on their back.

This forum gets 5-6 reports a week, almost always about spoilers in the One Piece thread, or someone being an rear end in a top hat in this thread. That's it.

so excise the tumor, don't kill the host. I don't see what's so hard about this. did TVIV get shut down because aatrek was a pedophile, no you just ban the problem posters.

this was the case and they stopped doing it since too many dipshits were getting banned because the only insult they could think up was calling people pedophiles lol

So I remember watching the anime adaptation of Utawarerumono when it came over 100 years ago--are all the shows that came after direct sequels or some sort of reboot?


I doubt I'll pick em up, but I'm curious if it's been the same story all this time.

Stranger is great. The first season sets up an insanely good mystery and it’s a ride the whole way down. All the reveals kept me on the edge of my seat.

Season 2 I’m not as big on at the moment. The inciting incident isn’t that compelling and it still seems like it’s spinning it’s wheels at trying to find the grand conspiracy/problem that’s forcing the characters to clash with each other. It’s still good, but it’s definitely missing what made season 1 so good.

The first season is an adaptation of the first game.

The next two series (with one currently airing) are adaptations of the next two games which take place a while after the first game has happened. They have characters that are from the first game but they aren’t central to the plot. You can definitely watch the next series without having watched the first but you’ll lose out on a bunch of callbacks and a little bit of plot here and there. You absolutely cannot start with the currently airing season because it’s a direct sequel to the second season.
