the problem with the sheep game is the same as we've had with other threads where people nominate folks, a whole lot of you don't actually want to be IKs and when asked refuse with variations on "lmao no". it would be nice if any solution included a way to only consider people who opt in

i mean at this point, with the transparency we've had over the last couple of threads (here and in QCS) it sounds like it's a potentially losing gamble to even be a "chaos" IK like calib.

I work in a position where the expectation is that it's a democrat-party serving institution and while my CPUSA voter registration status certainly didn't stop me from getting employed (I can't see any reason why they wouldn't query my own current voterfile, since they literally own it, as part of employment screening) but my job could be in real jeopardy if I hit some vindictive Trump thread Glennword and they decided to dump my most critical, damning posts to my employer., or some offsite BNR lunatic doing it just because "oh look a new person has a star, time to insert some new records into dbo.SA_POSTING_ENEMIES and it's not really hard to put together enough information about me to take a good crack at guessing who I am.

I lose my job, I'm out of doors - my wife, myself, and all 3 of our animals.

yeah, that does seem like it could waste time. otoh, preselecting who could be voted for seems like it would make the sheep game suck

Yeah fair, I guess where I'm coming from is that in a previous feedback thread a common refrain was "you didn't mod any of our suggestions" when the reality is we offered to like a dozen people who were nominated and they all said no.

As a matter of policy, we don't say who we offer to because we don't want to apply any pressure to them to reconsider, and we also don't ask a second time if they have declined previously unless they've made some spontaneous comment that makes it seem like they're interested now, again for the same reason.

that makes sense. i think no matter what you do, if people suggest candidates for mod and ik and don't see it happen, they'll keep asking about it. but it could still be fun!

just give them the star, they will either stop posting (good for them) or abuse their power (we get to laugh at a meltdown)

This feedback thread is much improved compared to the last one, and I'm pretty sure it's entirely down to the trump thread posters not constantly posting like they're the heart and soul of C-SPAM and everyone else is just ruining their vibes. Whatever the mods did to the thread was clearly the right call.

Gonna add though - it's a prime time for content in that thread if you've somehow not been following the news.

Almost accidentally edited instead of quoting

Also yes lol, arf is funny in medium doses but the people who treat him like a superhero for trolling the thread is, I believe, cringe and lame. Arf probably likes it, tho

They should gas the thread or move it to cccc. They can just gas the Glenn thread if it makes the trump people happy.

Omg yes, arf is good poster but he has followers who are just the worst lot this forum has ever had to read. Hbag was in Glenn with their lame script searching their own name, that kind of poster exists. Now understand that someone has that same script but put in Arf's name instead of their own. Absolutely terrifying levels of shameful.

Making a couple people angry in a thread full of folks who deservedly believe we won't live through 2040 is honestly kind of lame and easy. I actually did the same thing by being sincere and kind (and did it much better).
