Make Seth the boss of the other GBS mods
They should all be accountable to him and have to do what he tells them

Addendum: T'vark can be the assistant to the head mod, Seth

Lol. Yes I’m sure the discussion there will be considered and thoughtful and definitely not a big steaming batch of liquid hot takes from a bunch of people who never post in GBS.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

Jesus Christ, SAD posters need to get a life.

:edit: My feedback is that GBS is just fine and some people just need to go outside more often or something.

I think any post in here could be a pm to Seth the active mod, or maybe to an admin or that general email box they read. Leaving the thread open without a specific goal will lead to more chat posts, posting about posters/other subforums, etc. Also I will continue to mistake it for the chat thread because they are the same colour on my list. In short, close this thread as its use, if it had one, is gone. If I catch a 6 for this, put a loving kitty in it.

disagree with this. thread should stay open imo. if it's silent it's silent, if there's feedback there's feedback. People can just not chat in it. I know that might be difficult for some given how people keep accidentally ending up in scholastic book fair but I have faith

Well it seems like theyre going to install one of the people from the Doxxing/unwell wacky username thread as a mod of GBS now so this sites days are pretty well numbered I would say. I dont know why Jeff can't clean up the old admins and merge some of the hobby forums with GBS to breathe some new life into the joint.

It doesn't seem to be the venue for the things people really want to complain about (and catch probations for?) and kinda remains a potential honeypot? Or is that the kind of forums babysitting I already disagree with, like banning people for "schizo posts." You may be right Dr. Aids, you may be right.

Maybe its easier to do something small(or nothing) over a very long period of time while not talking about what's going on or why, that way no one bothers you about it.

I don't think it's that hard to not post off-topic in here, especially when people are repeatedly being told to knock it off.
I think it's good to keep it open and just stay vigilant for irrelevant posts.

Having somewhere like this should encourage people to bounce around ideas with other posters and inspire more suggestions and feedback. :3:

I participated earnestly, but I gotta be honest here and let it be known that I don’t see what the point was. Conversations there never seem very good and this one is no exception. It’s just a bunch of hyper-fixated people endlessly needling each other for owns and sad little victories, back and forth forever.

This is especially disappointing because it does seem like moderation could use an extra hand with a few things, but the conversation there clearly is not about it.

Do we really have to interact with that mess to be heard?

Smugworth gets probed for telling a guy to sit down, Stux suggests Smugworth should be gunned down in the street, no probe. Solid forum they've got over there. Can't wait to see which poster who openly hates this forum gets chosen to moderate it.

Additional mods are fine, just don't let people who only complain about a forum pick the mod. It's like if someone opened a thread to get a new mod the TFR and everyone who posted hated guns, and then they suggest a mod, who you know will hate guns, because the goal isn't to moderate the forum, it's to change it to something they actually approve of.

Also yeah, permaban and IP ban driftingmouse, the idea he is getting his jollies off posting weird lovely obituaries and having people be a part of that is loving weird and uncomfortable.

They won’t be happy until SA is nothing left but one thread where the same ten ImpCels probe each other endlessly to advertise watching a video game play itself while they discuss it in a separate discord, patting themselves on the back for a job well done.

It's kind of interesting because they are trying to emulate who they thought was cool for saying GBS sucks 10 years ago when people actually WOULD show their whole rear end on GBS and post stuff like "my good sir!" unironically. then they copped a username like "bug uncle" and tried to post in that style but can't quite nail it. Meanwhile C*m town and like 3 guys on twitter have already cashed out and thoroughly beat that style of thing to death. It's like theyre constitutionally incapable of having a clue.
