pansy, but I just wouldn't feel comfortable if ADTRW were led by someone who leans strongly FYAD-lite.

Squidster posted:The glory years, yes, before the dark days of New GBS that gave free license to FYAD to steamroll any discussion. I tend to prefer stricter moderation and a higher minimum level of posting. GBS is a complete wasteland of unfunny ironic racism. Not to steer the conversation too much, but New GBS has resulted in roughly 150 goldmined threads in the past year.

I don't mean to compare apples to oranges, since I know ADTRW is different than GBS, in direction and size, but to compare apples to apples on quality terms, 2012 GBS goldmined about 30 threads and 2013 GBS goldmined about 30. 2014 GBS goldmined 150. People describing the lack of capitalization as the death of effort and quality seems really strange to me.

Tuxedo Catfish posted:Goldmined by the kind of people who self-select to post in New GBS. Posters don't goldmine threads, mods/admins do, and the same guy has been handling most of the goldmine selections for the last 5 years--Garbage Day. If you mean voting, I guarantee you, we don't check a thread's rating before we decide if it's actually good.

My only point is that to me there seems to be a pervasive impression that proper punctuation and grammar are directly linked with quality posting, when I think they're not actually related in any way, positively or negatively.

Whoever the new mod is can make up their own mind on this subject, I'm not laying down a mandate that this will be the New ADTRW, I'm just offering my opinions in this discussion.

I realize I'm not the ADTRW mod and whoever the new mod is they can reverse this when they take over, but in this transition period I would ask that we all refrain from posting IRC logs, in the interest of not boring me out of my mind.

Captain Invictus posted:Among other reasons, last time I was a mod on a forum some internet detectives found my facebook and added me and my girlfriend at the time(I've since scrubbed most of my personal info, but still, it was fairly unsettling since I had nothing tying my forums account to my facebook), also I can't think of a more thankless job than SA Anime Mod. It'd be fun for a few reasons but yeah I'd rather not have that added stress as of right now This is perfectly reasonable and something we try to warn all prospective mods about, and why finding someone who will take the job can sometimes take some time.
