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!

It's awesome seeing people go like "this place is important to me" or "I grew up on this site" or do insane psyops or getting into intensely snippy flamewars with people about how this place is run because I think they don't know how insane that sounds

Also my feedback is to make the stepdad murderer guy an IK of his thread, that would be awesome, not even joking. Just give him some power and see what he does since he's like an internet newborn.

i want to see these forums run well so I report every post I dont like!

nah I only report poo poo like methanar doxxing his dates and people posting gun violence fantasies, because that's actual poo poo that needs reporting and the queue should probably not be 10000 reports long

I agree with you on the ex-con being ik of this thread, though, that would be awesome

I had the insane idea earlier that the OP of any thread could gain IK powers. To avoid rampant misuse, they could be unlocked by mods, or after some time as it gains megathread status? Well if every IK action has to be mod checked anyway, gently caress it, unlock it out the gate. Then if it's misused no one will be probed or banned but the OP being stupid. IK powers could also generate if a report is issued on a post in the thread?

In China they refer to the OP as a 'landlord' instead, and I feel like that is a suitably demeaning title for a own-thread-only Idiot King role.

I'm sure you'll be fine

I would be a loving great mod, like so God drat good. I don't need to waste any time looking at your profile or your, i'm sure quality posts, to know that you're the caliber of person who would celebrate my tenure as the janitor of this fine forum.

I post for the sacred joy of posting, and I would not actually ever want to mod though. I thought I was being cutesey when i made that post but it obviously just loving sucks. Sorry about that.

Just modding correctly in the busy forums brings out psychopaths that drain the color out of your life and involves you in the... machinations? of whatever people like SPR are doing on this forum. I know that one is specifically owned and gone but let's not pretend that type of person is unique.

my honest feedback is to never mod a guy who is really aggro about what they think being normal is, because they're always like the aforementioned.

My most genuine and relevant feedback is that GBS seems cool when the posting is about low-stakes topics, and everything serious or heavy loving sucks and is the primary source of burnout, of moderation action, and drama, and I find it wild it's tolerated at all still, especially when there are other forums that handle that stuff better, and post better, about those topics.

Find other sci-fi that can be mined for pee pee and doodoo jokes, or make a collaborative art thread or two, and then gas all the politics threads? It's obviouslly not working out and making an already rough staffing/mod activity problem even worse lol

I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately - I've been having a hell of a month or so, and the forums are just one of many things I've been neglecting. I'm not gone, and am pretty sure I'm not dead, but haven't been pulling my weight as a mod for a few weeks. I'm trying to get a handle on things in my personal life, and once I get things a little more back to normal you can rest assured I will mod the bejesus out of all y'all.
