I think it's good that a lot of people are volunteering to be resources, does anybody have any ideas for establishing duties or responsibilities if somebody says something? I think that could be helpful to give some direction on escalation, etc.

But, also, honestly, the more I think about it I kind of feel like "Going to a moderator/admin outside of the mafia community" is where I keep coming back to as a good policy? I think that inherently prevents cliques/insular behaviors that could result in a variety of anti social outcomes.

my shit posts don't die, they multiply

I guess I'm at:

-Let players know a handful of in community people they can check in with.

As a member of the community:

-If contacted, talk with the person and direct them to admins/moderators to contact?

You want someone with familiarity within a community so people will talk to them without the clique stuff. Not easy to find.

One thing which might? be helpful as a resource is a discussion of good and bad behaviour which may not be technically against rules but is frowned upon.

eg don’t case people for being online and not posting because
- we all have lives and it’s healthy to have boundaries
- kind of stalkerish

Truthfully idk if we need an IK but I think Ecco was a great mafia leader back in the day and would be a great one now

got some chores tonight
Feb 18, 2012

honk honk whats for lunch...
taste graciously invited me back to the mafia community but im sad to report that im incredibly normal now and get paid a lot of money to be an important person who materially improves lives and is universally beloved in my irl life so i may not have enough time to pretend im a misanthropic moron who doesnt use capital letters

glad to know that yall got rid of some of the racists and sex pests (i.e. my posting enemies) from before, solid work.

also give ecco the star even though its a completely meaningless title and will only inevitably lead to corrupting power it would make them happy and they deserve it for being way too into mafia and also theyre a good person (i am detecting this with my really strong detecting skills)

literally havent looked at my avatar in years and now im remembering its from when i made an anti ecco.raven that made them really mad so theyre the exact type of petty to be a great/terrible ik

Leperflesh, how often do reports come in from mafia games?

I used to play here a lot and I don’t remember more than 3 probes over a course of years and one was because a non participant was spamming the thread. This was during harsher moderation times, too.

I like that we are decentralizing power across the forums in a tacit acknowledgment that the community has many small communities that have their own cultural mores, but this forum seems quiet to me?

Yeah we don't get reports. Podima proactively paid attention to threads in TGR and maybe issued a sixer here or there so "no reports" can't be absolutely assumed to mean no problems: and after what happened with Podima, I am currently in the mindset that it's better to go out and talk to people and see if there's problems than it is to just assume silence means all is well.

I poked my nose in here today basically just to connect with this community and ask if safety tools are a good idea and learn what's up and that seems to have sparked some good conversation. I'll help keep things chill in whatever way makes that work though and if that means the status quo is fine that's also OK!

I used to play mafia because I had unmedicated ADHD and it relieved my symptoms a bit - but I'd also lurk a lot because life got hectic often
