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.

Yeah, I think this is correct. It's been a really stressful week and a half for me in my personal life, which means I probably shouldn't have moderated during that time. Sorry to everyone for that. I'll take my lesson and do better going forward. No more slapfights for me, no more moderating during slapfights.

Majorian, I don't think you're a bad poster and have had good discussions with you even when I've disagreed with you. Even had some nice pms with you, but if your reaction to small scale trolling is what happened tonight then this really will not end well. Genuinely: either massively change your perspective as a mod for cspam or reconsider because this isn't supposed to be a special job, you're an internet janitor.

I hope whatever it is that's causing the stress gets better and keep up the mostly good work. Or don't. As you have correctly realized, you're not obligated to be modding constantly and the Ukraine thread has mostly calmed down so if you do need to step back it's probably best for the forum and more importantly for you.

Thanks, things are going well for me now. Today was kind of the tail end of the storm, but it should be smooth sailing for me going forward. I'm happy to go back to moderating by, well, not doing much of anything at all.:)

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.

that's because whether stepping in is considered "good" or not entirely depends on outcomes you can't easily predict.

for example if a mod doesn't step in and someone has a funny meltdown and tantrums away then everyone's like "thanks for not using your buttons, that was hilarious"

otoh when a mod doesn't step in and it turns into an ugly unfunny slapfight with no end in sight and people who were sleeping or at work come back to 1000 unread posts of complete garbage then everyone's like "mods, wtf!!!"

The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
my feedback is that it's always an escalation when a mod probes someone they're arguing with or probes someone for making fun of them. bad idea, causes drama, modding 101 stuff.

For a hypothetical bad actor who is intentionally making rule breaking posts, this would make the optimal posting strategy to be making sure your worst posts always additionally personally attack every mod who could possibly take action on the post. Then you get a bunch of garbage posts making GBS threads up the forums that the mods are too afraid will make them look bad for stopping.

luckily mods are humans and not star trek enemy AIs for Kirk to defeat with logic tricks (i think, someone confirm?)

what people are saying is just that mod sass shouldn't be a probe offense, because that's cringe

during the last day alone you responded to people being critical of your modship by using your buttons, saying to contact an admin if people don't like how you behave, and now these utterly unbelievable variations on how you don't care what people who are critical of you think. obviously you do. there are no stronger indicator someone should not have buttons than your behavior here. you are too fragile and reactant to be a good mod. you say no more slapfights for you, and then immediately get into a new slapfight, because you can't help yourself, and that's okay, but someone like that should not be a mod.

No, what this all suggests is that I'm human. I have bad days, and clearly this was one. The worst thing that came out of it was a couple of 6ers and a gassed joke thread that the OP had locked already. I will do my best to not have another bad day, but I'm not stepping down from this super-important, world-affecting position as volunteer janitor on the political shitposting sub of a dead gay comedy forum.

This is the worst possible response! Every single thing you post just makes you sound like an even bigger dickhead! Nobody gives a poo poo that you had a bad day, stop trying to make it our loving problem, you did a bunch of stupid poo poo because your skin is way too thin for this role so maybe instead of this :smuggo: routine you're attempting just stop posting

wait, does that sound familiar to anyone else? I'm getting deja vu here
