Appointing more mods is part of the solution. The other half is fixing the whack rear end report queue and starting probing people who report a post with poo poo like "this guy is a huge chode and i dont like this post".

Like yes, we can hire more people to use buckets to bail the ship out, but we could also fix the holes in the ship and stop people drilling more of them too at the same time. Gbs getting hundreds of reports a week is insane.

Make me IK and ban anyone who submits a request for a thread title change

Also take away Vincent Van Goatse's report button and that will clear up 2/3rds of your reports lol

I don't say this lightly but this would genuinely be a better result than smugworth

If you really wanted to rile up the anti-GBS crowd you could vote for me. I wouldn't take the job, though.

The report system desperately needs an overhaul. The most obvious being allowing more than one person to report a post, the more people report it the more it gets escalated as a priority in the reports system. That seems like a relatively easy way to at least take a stab at catching the more horrible stuff.

I’ll be a mod but I forewarn you I phone post so I will have a short fuse and an iron fist.

However, I will be fair in my rule. Friend and foe alike will suffer the same punishment should they break any of our hallowed GBS laws.

Yeah they don't work on the app. If I need to throw down a probe I just open the browser, it's not that hard. :shrug:

Pretty sure there isn’t a mod mode for the Awful app, so you’d need to use a phone browser.

I had my doubts about Smugworth for mod, on account of how he's just a reflection of me that escaped from a mirror in a haunted house, but I'm really coming around on him.

Yup. Slugworth is the right person for mod. Perhaps even assistant to the assistant (T'vark) to the head moderator (Seth)

SADlads keep agitating for mods in GBS but when we say 'yes, give buttons to smug/slugworth and nom epique' they turn away.

What would it take to get more mods and IKs?

Train an ai on all the actions of the modmins which were exposed as horrible creeps, then do the opposite of what it suggests.

This poster is a good mod candidate imo.

Also Nooner, Smugworth and Literally a Person. Just make them mods and if they gently caress up just de-mod them it isn't a big deal jfc.

The biggest lol dumbass galaxy brain move would be letting the people who only complain pick a mod, because lmao. It's like letting racists pick who heads a minority focused charity lol.
