put me in coach, i'll ban the freaks while also reinstating the vtuber thread. I also pledge to not speak to any admin or read qcs, and have an all time greatest mod meltdown. I'll need plutonis as my co-mod though

I think that i was very uncharitable and kind of an rear end in a top hat to fluffdaddy on Saturday when the issue of adtrw moderation came up, but he had my back when I needed it. He has my backing here.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I asked on a discord and apparently a lot of this has to do with Made In Abyss, which I never watched. I did hear that it was pedo bait though. So, yeah, I guess banning all the people posting pedo bait art must be like whackamole.

When I talk about people treating the mods like poo poo, I don't mean as a subforum. I mean as a whole forum. Its ugly out there and I get why people even say no to being like say, the coupons mod. We seriously had to look hard for a loving coupons mod. Thats how wild it is out here.

If there's a recurring problem with the mods being harassed maybe we just shouldn't have a mod. We live wild and free like we were always meant to, and the would-be mods get to keep their peace of mind. Everyone wins!

even normally, the day-to-day activity of disentangling drama and trying to figure out whether a post is legit bad, a response to something else which is bad (which may be in another thread or even another subforum!) or within the acceptable is exhausting

you guys have buttons. you can just press them. you could make this entire website a made in abyss fansite if you wanted. nobody could stop you.

obviously you should take peoples feedback on what gets done around here and i dont disagree at all with blamming the mia thread but just speaking generally here, why is there so much of an air of inmates running the asylum or 'i just cant do anything about it!!' like i dont understand the philosophy that leads to that kind of attitude. you dont have to let qcs be a free for all. you can fix it quite easily. you keep complaining about this and then doing literally nothing to try and change it.

Agreed. If modding is so miserable then crack down on the people making that the case, if for no reason other than to make it possible to do that job.

I want to address this for the record because i was too much of a pussy to on Saturday. I queued up the ban + 30 of my own free will, because the way the post was written (images with seemingly flippant smileys) looked like a driveby shitpost and i wanted to be consistent with the previous decision. I didn't read what the post was trying to say, and that's on me. It was the wrong move and i apologise to yea ok.

I stand by my other ban+30, that was going to be the type of post i wanted to crack down more on.

I spent a lot of time worrying about trying to please qcs and you guys, and i realise i can't do either.

It's probably the case that the admins don't want to ban too many people to avoid killing off a dwindling userbase since SA is run like a business...a business that doesn't pay its employees, which is a little hosed and how is that legal?

just pick unlikeable assholes as mods from now on, so i won't be sad when nice folks like namtab get driven to meltdown or mental health crisis

sa isn't more sane, it's just unusually structured in a way that (imo) promotes better conversations. There's some structural advantages to being a message board with long-running megathreads. The people posting in those megathreads are just as insane as your average redditor.

if they want to make money off sa just go full into the chaos and let people pay 50 bucks to ban anyone they dont like. 500 bucks for a permaban. theyd be millionaires.

I am not a monolith, nor do I own this site. The reason I tell people to message Jeff is because at the end of the day, he owns the place and should be making the decision of who needs to go permanently.

Trust, if it were up to me and me alone, I would have zero hesitation. But its not up to just me.
