i think we should definitely listen to the pyf drama thread poster/mod on how to pick cspam mods, especially the part about how they should be picked from people who don't post too much on cspam

this way everyone's satisfied, the drama goons get to own cspam, the glenn goons get to argue over free speech issues, and rats poster gets to probate people

I accept the nomination and will IK cspam with the same firm grace that has turned PYF into an oasis in a desert of dipshits

my man, there doesn't have to be anyone going 'nyah nyah i'm going to go get those cspamers' in some elaborate plot and nothing mentioned requires one. please be a materialist

imagine a situation with two police districts, and one has 400% more arrests than the other. now if you ask anyone who is working in either of the districts they don't twiddle their mustache (because cop mustache's are too short) and they don't necessarily think they are doing anything differently if you asked them, just making calls based on what they actually see

but the 400% happens for reasons that have largely nothing to do with the individual qualities or virtues of the people making the decisions in the moment. this is how police think they aren't racist even as they arrest way more Black people, because liberalism has done this cool slight of hand where you're supposed to evaluate what you feel or believe instead of what you do

literally no one has to actually think the thought 'i should come down harder on x or balance with y' for that to be the practical result

Lol

I'd like a police district's worth of posters in cspam or sa as a whole. It would really bring life to have another 10,000 or so friends to hang with

Also I'm really really not modding at all except for super ergrigious poo poo and probing people like shrike, but I'm also reading the feedback and looking at what people are saying about how mods interact with posters. having some time to hang out off the forums because of irl stuff has convinced me that I was using buttons too much. not having me probing people has not caused the forums to burn down, so I'm going to try not be as button-happy as i've been in the past.

thanks again for everyone hashing stuff out. I'm just not super invested into discussing this unless i'm poking fun at one or two posters who aren't giving the brunt of the good feedback.

it does!

edit: and there are still things I read and go "man this guy's being a dick, I should probe him." but being a dick or being rude isn't really against the rules unless it's like, telling someone to kys or some other abnormal poo poo. like I got confrontational with HashtagGirlBoss because I was in a bad mood from IRL stuff and there was a part of me that wanted to probe them, but it's not cool for me to do that. and whenever I feel tempted I think "man imagine how much worse and more poo poo I'd be getting from probing this person".

it's hard to walk away from someone being a dick even though it obviously doesn't matter at all and you won't (shouldn't) remember it a month later. That's a rule I use for anxieties irl- will I actually care about this a month from now?

also, I've gained some perspective on how people are doing and want to say that the holidays are really, really hard for lots and lots of people. They're probably really hard for you, too! People are dealing with loneliness, losing their loved ones and missing them during the holidays, coping with family, not having enough money to buy the things they want to buy, and trying to square how bad things are/will get from here on out.

This is not directed at Majoran or what happened yesterday(?); this is just in general. It's hard right now, and the holidays will make things even harder. No one deserves your grace if they're being a dick or doing something lovely to you, but having to cope with some IRL stuff recently has reminded me how many other people are struggling and how SA is an outlet for a lot of them. That's the attitude I'm taking into the holidays both here and in real life, and we'll see how that goes.

Edit: and if you're losing your cool or getting angrier or more upset about stuff than normal because of what's happening irl, you should do your best to take a break, try not to inflict it on other people, and apologize if you do.

I noticed this, but I wasn't sure if it was deliberate. it's very good, and I am reinforcing you by quoting the whole post. :3:
