I have some things going on in the background that made me a little quick to engage when instead I could have just ignored you or made a joke. Sorry about that, I'll try to regulate how I post more in the future. Edit: though I did hit a new bench PR with the extra energy :].

It’s not like my joke was particularly funny and probably intentionally a bit aggro, I’d rather post in peace than in conflict anyway

HashtagGirlboss posted:Have you ever known somebody who has bad discipline with their dogs? And you go into their house and it smells terrible but they don’t even realize it stinks because they’re accustomed to it? i think the mods are doing a pretty decent job of balancing this lately. gotta walk a fine line where the people handing out punishments understand what the thread's vibe is, but also don't get so caught up in deflecting outside criticism that really wild stuff snowballs. never gonna be to everyone's liking

redneck nazgul posted:i agree wholeheartedly, which is why we need to get rid of the cspam insular chat threads because people just don't feel comfortable walking into threads and insulting the regulars redneck nazgul posted:it is a goddamn crime that the only place that lets me make fun of cspam posters is drama threads posted in other forums, the mods should all be fired into the sun so i can do more victory laps and be one of the cool kids Why don't you just say what you mean instead of posting passive aggressively?

HashtagGirlboss posted:I think majorian is generally a good poster and has the potential to do a good job but should probably just let threads deal with people being annoying unless it becomes overwhelming. Some of the best melt downs happen when people get stuck in that negative feedback loop and cutting it off with probes should be limited to people who go absolutely insane like when xtal did their thing in the podcast thread (and everywhere else they posted) Thanks, that's good feedback. I usually try to follow a "less-is-more" strategy when it comes to moderating, but I fully admit that I strayed from that a bit last week and used my buttons more than I should have. Sorry about that, folks. I'll go back to using a lighter touch unless it's necessary to do otherwise.

Sorry about that, folks. I'll go back to using a lighter touch unless it's necessary to do otherwise. The way I look at it from the perspective of someone who neither has nor wants buttons it can be pretty funny when someone successfully trolls a thread and it’s often funny when a would-be troll gets batted around by thread regulars. It sucks when I get trolled but it’s usually my fault for taking bait. That was a big part of why the old Glenn thread stayed an entertaining read for as long as it did, although I guess it fell apart in the end. For me I feel like the line is more when someone starts getting serious main character syndrome. That’s when it starts getting tedious. But it takes a while to get to that point. Honestly it’s a pretty fine line to walk and I’m not jealous of people who try to find the line and it’s easy to armchair moderate from the sidelines since the stakes are low.

I've never read the Trump thread before but people kept going on and on about it so I had a look. They're not really talking about Trump in there. But they do seem to be enjoying themselves and each other. So yeah, no idea why it's in CSPAM.
