Somewhat serious answer: Leon Trotsky with the caveat that he is no longer allowed to post in D&D other than to take mod-action or answer questions directed at him, punishable by permaban. His posting temperament comes across as even-keeled enough to do a good job at moderation in spite of his posting often drifting into idiocy/trolling. As a long-term reader/occasional poster in the CA thread after skimming a few pages of names the only other one I could think of is Leperflesh and I'm not sure about them, so much of that thread devolves into bursts of lovely, angry ignorance. 3rd option, don't remember the name but they post good in the Trump thread and have a name that makes me think of PPJ's name. I realize how little help this is.

I can't think of any posters whom i think could do it and would want to inflict the burden on. But Ill take the moment to thank our present mods for their work. Good luck.

I third raskonikov38. My reasoning is my entire political ideology was born centered around this campaign ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXEHZsAkR0 and more specifically the single question asked by Bernie at the end: who benefits from this exploitation I seek to challenge those who would pretend the labor issues of the poor and disadvantaged are irrelevant to the modern nightmares of today. What D&D needs is someone with just enough bloodlust and hope for a better future in the face of an outright doomsday event to challenge the comfortable and the committed to open their eyes and face the struggles of the poor and working world. I've slept under bridges in Manhattan and rode first class across the Atlantic Ocean. In these experiences I've learned there is no difference between the poorest and most distraught of our society versus the richest and most comfortable of our society. Our discourse deserves someone who actually cares about the poorest and most vulnerable of our society beyond a joke or personal branding. I hope raskonikov38 has the courage to clean up the rich corporatist liberalism that has infected this forum and is willing to challenge it headon for the benefit of the working poor across America. Who benefits from this exploitation? That is what any mod of D&D should be challenging.

Whoever it is (and I think raskonikov38 is a great choice, despite the jeopardy that'll put my own rapsheet in), D&D really ought to consider innovating with an anonymous or burner account for its new mod. Given the inevitability of offsite attention and, as we've seen, the caterwauling over alleged mod bias, I think it'd be an improvement overall.

i endorse the anonymous/burner account for a new mod idea. this is probably the most aggravating forum for mods to mod and i think no matter who gets picked people will be mad and associate the modding choices with people getting revenge on posters/ideologies they dislike no matter how valid the mod's probations/bans/thread policing might be. if there's a burner/anonymous mod account then people can't scream they're being silenced by the libs/cons/berniebros/hill-bots/communists/nazis/antidisestablishmentarians/etc. if that doesn't work though, Tony Gunk has usually posted pretty well and has a fairly clean rap sheet. axeil fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Oct 16, 2018 |

Raskolnikov would be good as a full mod. Lightning Knight is also a good dude with a good head on his shoulders and while I wouldn't technically wish this upon him, well, all actions have consequences and this is what happens when you post good.

I think a burner / anonymous mod would multiply the drama rather than corral it. People would still ascribe agency and bias to the anonmod, it would just get cloaked behind an additional layer of conspiracy theory.

if you'd also like to suggest somebody as idiot king now would be the time to do it just be warned idiot kings don't get reports and since september we've gone through about 600+ idiot king's primary focus would be their main thread; we already have one for UKMT and Auspol so if germany thread or canpol thread needs one, for instance, let us know Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Oct 16, 2018 |

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I think a burner / anonymous mod would multiply the drama rather than corral it. People would still ascribe agency and bias to the anonmod, it would just get cloaked behind an additional layer of conspiracy theory. I understand this objection, and agree that it's the largest flaw (especially with the concern that anonmod will be both posting and using modrights to settle posting grudges). On the other hand, it's not as if HomEx or even PPJ are prolific posters post-ascension. Beyond that, anything harsher than sixers still require a second (if perfunctory) opinion. Though I admit I think that anyone whining about sixers deserves far more. The ~modbias~ whinging is a secondary benefit for me compared to the other, as it's my understanding that many qualified candidates over the years (including the thread's preference, somewhat recently) have declined the reins over those concerns. As general feedback(D&DCS!), I second that PPJ is doing a great job and am pleasantly (and selfishly) surprised that his edict in the 2020 thread has managed to keep it pretty readable despite heavy presences from many of the people rushing into the Trumpthread to drop  Liberals and  lol The Left posterburns on the topic of the 2020 candidates. I know it requires extra mod work, but it seems like a situation where fairly explicit standards of behavior have improved the quality of posting. I hope to see it continue.Party Plane Jones posted:just be warned idiot kings don't get reports and since september we've gone through about 600+ I'll toss a nod to KM as well, either as IK (if radium allows) or full mod (though I wouldn't wish that upon anyone). Allowing her to nip the more  nonsense on race and/or gender in the bud would go a long way to beautifying these forums.

Paracaidas posted:I can take this to dadchat if preferred, but could we get a breakdown on where these complaints are coming from? I suspect Trumpthread leads, if only based on traffic and a somewhat more ideologically diverse population, but I've got no idea of magnitude or what other dramathreads are. probably 70% come from trumpthread, 5% from USPOL, 5/5 for local/state and the 2020 thread; 5% from venezuela thread. remaining 15% are fairly random in distribution

I'll volunteer, I'm on West Coast time in Seattle and I rarely post and therefore can hate everything without bias. My bona fides are that I've read all 4 full iterations of the Trump thread and I haven't succumbed to insanity yet. I'll also bring back funny mod challenges and try to make Leon Trotsky eat a fruit hat at first opportunity. E: I also have been running the WoW Lore thread for like ten years, so believe me I know a bad post when I see one E2: Totally serious (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

If I am modded I'd be laying down 6ers on anyone that launches another Trumpthread derail about you because good god above I'm sick of a discussion flying off a bridge about whether or not you're a modern day Nostradamus and/or deciding it's a great and perfect time for a hot take on why you're full of poo poo during a compaction cycle or something.

Also it seems to me that reporting is being weaponized to some extent. This weird to me (I've never reported a post). But is it possible to give it (reporting) a cost? Maybe the reportor can't post for an hour. People would still report awful poo poo, but you'd get less spam reporting.

i'd vote against km, splitting mod duties between two forums is almost always a bad idea. c-spam has like two mods and three iks or w/e and none of them are modding D&D, for example. e: grs probably isn't that busy so KM could probably do it without issue, now that I think about it. Another suggestion, what about Greyjoy? He seems alright. Grapplejack fucked around with this message at 08:08 on Oct 17, 2018 |
