AlternateNu posted:So, what the gently caress is going on? As much as possible without naming names, can we get some sort of framework or example on how mods are getting targeted? The QCS posting clique is the long and the short. People who are actively aggressive about pursuing and punishing thought crimes and running out anyone who does them or their favorite posters wrong. They'll toe the line as closely as possible to the rules and even overstep them from time to time fully knowing they'll never eat a Perma after being banned any number of times. A lot of them also post in CSPAM

the ideal SA mod is a person with the mental fortitude to know that someone is complaining about you in qcs and then not click on the thread this kind of mentality is extremely rare

The problem is that the people most dedicated to forums drama are absolutely not the people who should be involved in forums drama.

I get trying to not step on anyone's toes but being too hands off leads to situations like this. Jeff either doesn't care or is too cautious in making more strict rules about some of this. He also thinks some of the more problematic people are funny. ADTRW isn't the first subforum to lose a mod over QCS getting snippy about some thing or another too.

Endorph posted:the made in abyss thread was very bad, some guys made shitposts in the thread about it, they got jumpbanned, the thread was actually bad fair call, bans got rescinded, qcs turned into a drama fire over multiple days over whether people who posted in the mia thread should be banned and which ones, with basically every possible decision getting people yelled at one way or the other. I 100% agree, while its good in theory to have something like QCS to publicly petition to redress grievances it's been abused to hell and back. Whenever I've felt like I've had an issue with a moderator's decision and thought about posting a QCS thread I always decided hell no it's not worth the hassle of having dozens of people flocking to the thread like vultures.

There needs to be a public venue to voice concerns about the forums, but QCS in its current form is a terrible way to do that.

The big problem is that it's basically been abused by people with an axe to grind and have more than enough time and numbers to harass any mod or admin to get their way knowing full well that they'll get a slap on the wrist in the end and no lasting punishment, even after pattern after pattern emerges.

Anyways, SA is gonna die a slow death if you just try to rely on hoping you can find mods who are okay with things the way they are. Structural changes of some kind are needed. While user feedback is valuable, and this whole thing was kicked off by people who were right (the initial bans were bad), there's a subset of the QCS population that immediately smell blood in the water and chase the high of nailing the bad guys, without putting any particular thought into who or what they go after. Whether the structural changes are technical or in how qcs is handled manually doesn't really matter. But the status quo is that, in three years, SA will have no mods left.

Endorph posted:i dont think that would really work, thosed just get rushed into whenever there's a problem with an individual subforum, and then those people would leak out into other threads on said subforum. My other idea to supplement it is to ban anyone coming in to be an rear end in a top hat. But not by the mod of that sub, but another Admin. Like if there was a TFF feedback and someone came in to call the TFF mods baby killers or pedos or whatever, I would ban them. Or if it were an anime one, I would have another admin handling any probations while we discussed feedback like normal adults.
