I was told they definitely take peoples rap sheets into consideration when they decide to make someone a mod or not.

I’m not so sure that is the case!

they very obviously don't, fritz the horse, the admin removed for editing someone elses autoban post, has a probation from less than a year ago where they talk about editing other people's posts lol

the system works...

but unironically, the chain sixer seems to be one of the more effective moderating tools since it's (apparently) very quick to bring out whatever crazy was bubbling to the surface. wild stuff

the sixer is the punishment most likely to provoke an enraged response, so a lot of them chained together act as a multiplier

it's interesting that the shortest punishment available makes people the most unhinged. scientists postulate a hypothetical shorter punishment that could potentially unlock towering new rages...

It's true. Even normally cool headed people get a little testy at the ten minute time out imposed for posting in SAD.

I wasn't an admin yet when he claimed it happened but I could tell it was not true at the time. But just to be 100% sure, I checked with the senior admins before posting the truth in this thread because I recently got burned by Fritz's stealth edit and I wanted to be absolutely certain I wasn't going to accidentally mislead anybody again.

Based on why they said they were demodded and considering the new information that has come to light I postulate that Leon was demodded because an IK got them with the old:

“If you type my biggest posting enemies’s pw in the discord it automatically changes it to ********* .”

ThatBasqueGuy posted:

also lmao @ lyin' leon's attempt to control the narrative. if you cant trust him, who can you trust?

For what it's worth, lobster shirt's summary is what I agree with:

lobster shirt posted:

hm i guess to elaborate in a vague fashion leon didn't actually dox anyone (hence why he hasn't been permabanned) or do anything malicious but i think there was some rather cavalier handling of some PI. which, in the context of everything that has happened recently, the admin team seems to want to nip in the bud. sorry i really don't want to get super into the weeds here but i also don't want people to think that there was some flagrant "user's irl name and address is..." thing happening.

also if anyone doesn't know and is curious mods can't see (or i guess if we can i have no idea how to lol) personal information, our tool for alt checks is just asking an admin.

lobster shirt posted:

yeah i mean i don't want to defend anything that has happened or anyone involved, i just want to make it clear - from the perspective of someone who doesn't want people even more distrustful of site staff - that there was no doxing here, leon did not dox anyone or even actively try to do something harmful.

sorry i hate doing stuff like this i hope this isnt mod voice lol.

It was something stupid that shouldn't have happened and/or should've been stopped sooner. Funny how many things you can say that about here...

About a year ago I called out lyin' leon in dnd for gaslighting me, trad. charles boyer meaning as in "this bitch be crazy" but couched in leon language.

A dnd mod proactively reached out to me & asked for proof of my contention, which I spent a while compiling, and then the mod's response was

quote:

Thanks, this is the sort of background I was hoping for. I intend to share this with the rest of the mods and in the team thread if you're okay with that

And after I gave my blessing that dnd mod shared it with the rest of the dnd mods who then decided to appoint leon as a fellow mod, lol.

if we are being honest, the most cringe thing about leon as both a mod and a poster is that he could not turn off his forums war brain. there is no single circumstance anyone will point to that summarizes it, but he clearly should not have ever been a mod, and there is a legacy problem with both how mods are selected and how they stay mods that has been discussed to death in SAD. a model has been proposed for fixing it through actually listening to user feedback, and just needs to continue being followed up on.
