too long have their dictatorial moderators of the BYOB forum reigned with cold iron fists, it's time to organize and overthrow the mods, you have nothing to lose but your posts

Two questions- are there any Union dues? And can I be a rabble rouser?

Hey guys, I'm the cool kind of boss. You can totally organize for higher wages and better treatment. No problem. You can even use my office if you want. By the way, I wouldn't want to fire you accidentally for being in a union, so could you sign this paper so I can know exactly who not to fire? If anyone you know is in the union but they're not here today, you can sign their names too.

OP please clarify the selected name. I care not about the organisations intent or message. I only care about a clever use of the word goon in its naming convention.

If satisfied, I can be the first to sign the cool boss paperwork.

Woulden't want to get fired!

I just want the mods to know that if these loving pinkos strike, I'll be happy to pick up the posting slack.

I don't think we need a union. The mods are more than fair and give us plentiful goldmine space, and only hurt us because they care and want our best. How would a union improve on this amazing situation? If you want to see what a union can do check out GiP. You wanna be GiP, op?

But what of all our probed brothers and sisters, do they have a voice?
No for it was taken by the modding class
We tirelessly post day after day yet the ones who hold all the power are the mods

No mods, no masters

I mean I feel that a BYOB union wouldn't have any problem with scabs because we're all cool and don't want to ruin friendships over something silly

me: brothers and sisters of byob, let us seize the means of production of posts!

(byob management offers a bong hit)

me: uh well that's . . . considerate, but capital should not be concentrated in the hands of the decadent bourgeoise!

byobmgt: dude there's no need to seize anything, here have some bud, I'll just give it to you

me: no! seize! we must seize!

byobmgt: okay okay, tell you what, I'll just leave it on the counter over there and you guys can seize away. while I'm at it I'll leave a few fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies there too.

me: (mouth full of cookies) deaf to capitalishm!

Mahoro says, "Naughty things are bad."
The welcome hello and chat thread says, "Lurkers must post."
Does this mean byob is already a union forum? If so, what about the right to post?
We may have to get the NPRB (National Posting Relations Board) to oversee a representation vote.

Are there any more of those cookies left?

If lurkers aren't required to post, you'll have the "free rider" problem where an increasingly small number of posters are increasingly responsible for preserving the rights of all to post. Among other problems, this leads to the "professionalization" of posters as active posters spend more and more of their time posting. Eventually these "regulars" become co-opted by the moderators and ... huh...this started out as a joke but it's pretty accurate actually. And this is why lurkers must post.

its bullshit that the mods own the means posting. we need to seize mod powers from the mods and distribute them to the poor

it is difficult to articulate how unfree our posting is precisely because we lack the posts to describe our unfreedom
