I like AiTs aggro posting style even if I have fallen on the receiving end of it. It seems to walk a pretty fine line between full on always on hostility and thoughtful posting

I say AiT is just alright and mods benefit from not getting in slap fights with posters

for my part; this is cspam, argue with people don't beg the mods to probate your posting enemies or move a thread you don't like out of the subforum. if you are interested in that type of posting experience i am sure you can find it somewhere. you can rest assured that if someone is unhinged enough they'll still make a post so bad they'll catch some kind of punishment because that's how it works and you know that's how it works so what's the problem

Neilia was a drunk who killed her kids and then Joe Biden blamed the other driver and made his life hell.

As someone who also had a mom who died to alcoholism I'm giving everyone the pass to totally dunk on her.

When I was making calls in Delaware some old dude told me that he was a rug cleaner back then and was trying to do a delivery to their house and she took a swing at him outa nowhere lol.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I like you as a poster but come on, you need to read the room and have some compassion for your fellows here. It seems very hair trigger and personal — especially when you don’t explain why — which makes you bad at being a moderator. It’s upsetting! This kind of thing is why people are reacting strongly I think.

At work when I’m mad I never send an email or slack until I’ve cooled down enough to make sure I’m not making things worse. Not trying to be condescending but this might be a good practice. Very few posts need immediate real time moderation and thirty minutes might make all the difference

he did explain later along in the thread that the post touched a nerve, and then bowed out and asked me to step in and keep an eye on things

ironically (or not? idk what irony is) the classic cspam low effort aggro troll style some people seem to really dislike is a direct response to this style of moderation.

it's basically a way posters can self moderate stuff when mods are hands off or absent. you would see that a lot in the early days of the Ukraine thread where people would come in and be like "where da tankies at??" over and over. in that case it's a good tool for dealing with dumbasses and highly effective at triggering meltdowns that ultimately encourage people to either exit the posting arena or say something so deranged they finally get exited by some mods.

that's not really to take an opinion on doing things that way, just an observation.

in my experience it's always been challenging to know when to step in and when to let the thread handle things, and I don't get it right, especially at times in the u/r thread.

giving everyone involved in a slapfight a sixer seems to work pretty well

that way everyone can save face because their opponent got sixered for being a troll, and they for replying to an obvious troll

Is there a stronger indicator someone should not have buttons than them immediately deciding "well since I've got buttons I'm special and it should be a punishable offense to be rude to me"

I don’t think his approach has actually changed which is why the discussion continues, and we have to dowse his intention from probe reasons. saying “I hosed up” is nice I guess but unless it’s from the Bahamas it’s a sparkling “gently caress you.”

It probably would have been a better troll.
As somebody else has mentioned, I think you are pretty quick to respond and could probably do well not to be. I also think you are perhaps a little too sensitive and could roll with the punches better.

You have been making a visible effort to improve and have historically been good about constructive criticism. The Ukraine thread has been better for your work but most threads requires the same level of moderation as that one.
