I think the idea behind this was that no admin should be simultaneously participating in a conversation and moderating that conversation, but I'm not sure it's working out ideally because if you're on the receiving end then it seems like whichever admin is reading and moderating but not talking is just throwing thunderbolts from Olympus instead of engaging with people

it feels like a honeypot lol

oh okay, well i hope whoever saw it had a lil chuckle because it was a comedy report

i think that idea makes sense but i think, specifically, having an admin who has a community reputation (let's not get into whether it's deserved or not) for being overreactive and thin skinned. well. i think it will blow up. but you are right that participating in and moderating a conversation also has the potential to lead to blowups, its a tricky situation.

they should random roll some poster from a pool of volunteers to be an IK handing out sixers as the punisher while admins talk about stuff.

More serious suggestion, they shouldn't hand out more than a sixer for decorum breaches in SAD unless it's genuinely serious, like a safety issue not just an insult.

People posting there chances are they're already worked up about something, handing them long punishments for an ill advised insult or whatever will always just escalate stuff

are you supposed to just monitor SAD until a relevant thread is open? qcs needed input from a larger amount of unique posters, not less

being on the forums makes me feel good as gently caress!

also the admins have been pretty good about posting in threads when they reopen, so they get bumped (and its visible if you are browsing by bookmarks too). except for jeffrey, who unlocked the "unperma larry" thread but otherwise called zero attention to it lol

one thing that i think is unfolding disastrously in SAD is the seeming practice of having one admin engage with posters while another, who is not participating, is monitoring threads and nuking posts. its not a dynamic that is going to lend itself well to any sort of productive conversation. oh well!!!! happy saturday everyone.
