LAP is a crazed psychopath who should never be allowed to be a mod. What a terrifying thought.

Lol this is exactly what’s going to happen.

Also Literally A Person was already a mod and uh, let’s just say he came back a little “different”.

Yeah we've seen your avatar.



I feel at this point maybe the thread is getting a bit chatty. I understand that our head moderator, Seth, is being held hostage by the FYAD crew until their demands are met, and unfortunately cannot post the :sweep: signal to notify the good posters of GBS to knock it off.

Unfortunately, as someone who is not a moderator, I can't do so either. Hands are tied :shrug:

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.

... Why?

Also I am perfectly aware LAP was a mod, I remember the drunk sticky spree. I didn't think y'all would take it so seriously lol.

Realistically I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to pool the audience for suggestions for mods. I'm sure Seth, Aardo and co are perfectly capable of identifying people who can do the job. I really don't encourage them to take suggestions from posters, who are all far more biased and with their own interests, regardless of where they normally post.

A lot of awful mods and IKs were made because someone made a lolrandom joke suggestion and everyone decided to lolrandom hype themselves up over it until it became serious and convinced the admins it was a good idea.

Yeah, the last paragraph of what you quoted is the part that should be paid attention to.

Really hope the mods are not doing a wordcloud of usernames for mod submissions. Please, Seth, tell me you aren't doing exactly that, and definitely do not post images of exactly that.

I disagree mod everyone who asks (who isn't obviously going to be an insanely bad choice). Keep the ones that work and demod the ones that don't.

Our community is not so large anymore that we should be pushing away people that want to volunteer instead doing it grudgingly.

can't believe shrek is fucking dead. rip to a real one.
So on the story of mods, we are looking at candidates for them and for IKs. We also do like ideas of who may be good mods because we can't read every thread and we like to source them from the community. There may be posters whom we don't always see but are great contributors. Those who have a trusted bond with the posters they manage.

In that vein let me welcome our new mods Slugworth and nom epique!
