it was partly because the taxman was in insane medical debt and people felt like he deserved some help what with giving us this loving dumb rear end place with nazi mods and p-p-p-powerbooks and five golden manbabies goonsire and then whoops we stopped being able to pretend he wasn't a piece of poo poo

He was handed a golden oportunity for getting his life together, not because people were particularly fond of him, but because people really care about this place.

And

He

hosed

It

Up.

At one point he was making 12k a month .
Not because of his lovely videos.
But because of the love people had for this, their home on the web.

I mean you gotta laugh
Then throw him in the loving dumpster.

I though the informant network was just a bunch of ppj alts in the discords.or maybe nazis who played along with him passing him "information".and a couple of the early things kinda helped KM and other people but then it dried up and ppj just went native and starting giving out info about sa, either in a braindead way of gaining trust or just straight chudery.
goddamn that was such a stupid saga, even for 2020.
gently caress.
The fact that several people looked at what was going on and thought " humm good idea, seems legit" or though they where outsmarting the nazis is just...im seriously laughing irl.

I dont think jeffrey is a secret chud, i just think theres a lot of dunning krieger efect at play here and hell, i know its hard for people to admit their limitations or that they've hosed up, but at some point you have to admit you've hosed up, why you hosed up and tell people you've hosed and ask for help improving and learning from your mistakes because thats also how you gain the trust of a comunity and become a better person.

please forgive me if i am somewhat suspicious of blue stars these days, especially wrt their opinions about fellow mods/admins

Well you should be, thats the curse of the mods.and that they always knew.
On the other hand BM,lk and twoday are also c-spammers dealing with a lot of poo poo, and probably on the dark in a lot of this . Saying "i dont know the dude, everytime i dealt with him hes been ok" is not some glowing review of jeffreys admininship. We know the gently caress ups he did, and the fallout of them, and good stuff hes being doing also,so lets use his accions as a way to judge jeffrey, instead of projecting our opinions into people that barelly have a passive acquaintance with him.

Edit: gently caress that some horrible spellcheck

i honestly do not have that strong of an opinion on jeffery

reene, on the other hand, is kinda completely trash as an admin and the reflexive defensiveness on her behalf seems entirely unearned!

Yeah that ones tricky. reene is just not a good admin/mod, but shes aparently been through some poo poo too and that earns sympathy but i dont think thats whats best for her right now.lets help her out with that and i think that for her own wellbeing she shouldnt be a admin/mod.


Edit: oh wait thats not tricky at all after all.

Imma gonna be honest here,the circunstances that lead to this are very lovely, but the wildness and unlawfullness of the forums in the last days are kinda fun.

My proposal is that we should have a purge week every year in these here forums, starting on 4/20.

The catch is that cspam during that week turns bizarro land and every post must contain a well source and passionate defense of centrist liberals policies.

being a volunteer mod is worse than being a volunteer, say, firefighter because even though the volunteer firefighters don't get paid they get to hang out in a building with hot dudes and make chili.
No it isn't, because
In my country , some volunteer firefighters are also EMTs driving ambulances, and sometimes first responders to crash sites.
Alcoholism seems like a good idea the second time you respond to a bike fatality.
Or the first time you're on a routine patient transport with some congenial old geezer who's going to the follow up consultation for his hip replacement surgery and he suddenly has a stroke.
Or the time where that happens and his wife is there with you.

Other than that,yeah , like 25% of the guys are pretty hot.

The poster who said that fyad talked poo poo got hit was right.thats it.

Also i really like cspam but what happened to fyad should be a cautionary tale about comunities becaming insulated. Calling out poo poo posting in d&d is fun and all but sometimes i think we focus on that too much.

Its me , im the decorum poisoned.

1) Bring back fyad, make it a sub of cspam
2) make every regular fyader a mod of fyad
3) wait approximately 3.14 seconds before everyone goes mad with power
4) everyone banned after the inevitable meltdown, except arf, who couldn't even find the mod buttons because we was busy making funny GIFs.
