I remember it. We all go nuts from time to time and we are all especially nuts now. Stress trends to do that.

There was nothing stress-related about it, he just blatantly used his mod powers to shut down arguments he was losing.


Anywho, both KM and raskonikov38 would be fine choices, assuming either of them wants the job.

i approached rask a while back but he seemed satisfied with just being a c-spam ik. maybe his position has since changed but i doubt it.

KM would be a good choice assuming she wants it, though why she'd want to at this point is beyond me since she's modding AGRS and seems content to focus on that.

The Trump thread is where I spent 90% of my time on this site nowadays so I'll fall on that sword and volunteer to be IK for it while a full mod or someone else is found.

If rask is still not interested, then I would say BrandorKP is probably my #2 recommendation.

Edit: fishmech being #3.

Speaking as a lurker and given that most reports seem to come from USPol/Trumppol, it'd probably a good idea to have a mod who has a slightly different perspective from the "common wisdom" of the threads in question, so volkerball KM would make a good addition to the D&D mod squad.

I think Crow Jane could be a good IK for the Trump thread and could be upgraded to mod if she does a good job, like with PPJ.

Can’t say i respect the kind of poster who constantly reports petty poo poo, we need someone who can treat trump thread with the level of seriousness it deserves. We definitely don’t need mods with a track record of angry slap fights

If Rask and KM are already busy with their own stuff, Crow Jane would make a great IK for the trump thread. She's mellow, and doesn't really get involved in the furious slapfights much, if at all.

i'd put in my vote for Raskolnikov38, seems levelheaded and that's the most important thing

nothing personal against evilweasel as a poster, but I'd like to vote against him being a D&D mod again. back when he used to be a mod, seeing him join a discussion was my cue to quietly leave that thread and not come back until he got bored and left the thread because everyone who disagreed with him was suddenly on probation

Good, because if selected the very first thing I'm doing is giving the thread a warning with a reasonable amount of sink-in time and then I'm kicking the door in and spraying probes around like it's the St Valentine's Day Massacre.

Nothing makes that thread more unreadable than the ouroboros of in-fighting that happens if we don't get Trump tweets or a scandal of some sort. We go into withdrawals like a bunch of rage junkies without an outlet and like Warhammer orks, we fight ourselves without an external enemy to WAAAAAAAGH about

:matters: and Dems are a Waste chat are fine. Sometimes things aren't important and, at other times (quite often, given they hold zero branches of government) Dems fail to achieve their goals.

Shitposts on the former are adequately covered by the rarely enforced "effort being met with no effort" rule, while the history of purges indicate the moderation team can accurately distinguish between those who bring hot takes spoiling for a fight with shitlibs and those who can discuss the topics without devolving into "actually, Dems are failing because they are beholden to their donors and thus want GOP victories" nonsense.

I think the issue is that it ought to be a discussion. If two people are having dems are bad chat but it's an actual discussion with actual effort, I think that should be allowed to happen, while unfunny driveby posting should be punished.

I also think Trump thread might be too big to fail/moderate at this point and the rules about "it has to be Trump related" are selectively enforced.
