I think I'm more mad about the utter lack of an apology or explanation than the initial ban.

PPJ, you're an Internet hall monitor. Get over yourself and stop this poo poo.

Yeah from what I can tell, nobody but PPJ's clique of sycophants actually likes him, trusts him, or thinks he's doing a good job.

Considering both beer and PPJ have both recently made big statements about making their subforums trans inclusive spaces I can think of something very simple that both of them can do to actually make that happen.

Yeah I was getting at that in the other thread. No matter what your feelings on PPJ it doesn't feel like they can continue moderating without it just being a shitshow all the time.

From what I understand PPJ does the bulk of the work by far in clearing out the report queue. But putting in the time to do that doesn't mean you're good at it.

If you're not capable of doing your job in an evenhanded manner you need to stop being a mod. Taking a symbolic two-week break is just insulting, because it's not like you're going to come back here and be any better at your job.

umm.. are we like supposed to clap for this heroic sacrifice to exchange souls in the void? im like really confused right now because i still don't understand what the point of the original probation was, so your arbitrary probation here is applied to you instead?

A two week probe as penance doesn't actually do anything to prevent the issue from happening again. It's just a two week push, much like the push the admins put on the group of transphobes that got hit with their 30s+ban. It doesn't actually solve any issues, it just makes people feel better in the short term.

Please pay attention to my totally separate problem, I just love that attention

Gosh it's really nice and cozy in this little box I'm allowed to post in to say that Beer is a bad mod and that Benghazi 2 didn't deserve more than a 6er.

I look forward to another post/DM that just says "Thank you for the feedback", just like the suggestion box at work.

It really makes me feel so much better, just being able to say it, it's completely fine if nothing at all actually comes from how I feel. I'm sure, this time, he's listened, and gosh, he's just learning more things every day. I look forward to Beers apotheosis of one day having a loving clue.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
moderating is a thankless job and there's never going to be enough good people stepping up to do it, but it's an extremely bad look when anarchy is a much better option than your continued actions as moderator

step down and quit being a shitter, ppj.

i think u misunderstand because originally it was about a rescinding which was the simplest thing to do if some ample explanation was provided but the hard path was chosen which definitely proves the dismissiveness and flippancy that has culminated to this point in which i am responding back towards PPJ

i have thought he should have stepped down over the c-spam fiasco but i was willing to give the benefit of the doubt, which was undeserved~
