I mean, while we're having a meta thread to discuss the future it's probably worth also talking about the problems people have been having with the community. I appreciate that once people talked about hornyposting a 12th time with the backdrop of all the poo poo coming out about wrestling something actually happened, but overall moderation in this subforum has been way too hands off and permissive of some frankly gross posting. You end up with the community you foster, and if the community as-is right now was supplanted elsewhere I'm not 100% sure I'd bother following it.

forkboy84 posted:Sorry you feel this way. What sort of things do you think are problematic? I'd like to know if I'm doing it so I can change & be better as a person. Honestly, I think the biggest problem at the moment is people who aggressively shout down whenever people share their concerns, followed up by people who joke and shitpost through it. We saw it a lot in the posts linked as evidence during the discussion in the #SpeakingOut thread. If a community's culture is going to become/stay non-toxic, people need the room to raise concerns without feeling like they're going to get poo poo on for doing so. Clearly that's not been provided up til now.

Rarity posted:Perhaps we should should have a specific feedback/issues thread that's regulated against shitposting and such where people can have these discussions with the mods? I honestly would just prefer if mods actually did their jobs properly and handled these issues in-situ. It doesn't take many sixers for people to get the message that certain poo poo doesn't fly here, but time and time again the mod staff in here have been unwilling to a fault to take action.

Rarity posted:I know this is a selfish thing to think about and a question nobody may be able to answer but would there be an easy way of archiving content? I'm really proud of the Hulkamania PPV thread I did a few years back and I don't want that to get lost into the ether. You'd probably have to write a quickie script to do it due to being paywalled, but it's not particularly difficult - each post is in its own <table> element, you can get a username out of the <dt class="author"> of the <td class="userinfo"> element and then the post body out of the <td class="postbody"> element. It's just a case of putting a couple hours in to properly script logging into SA and crawling each page of a thread getting the information out of those elements.

NienNunb posted:Oh no doubt it's obvious, anyone with half a drop of empathy can see what's going on. I just hope that if any people are convinced by this that nothing wrong happened, that they're small in number and are told to gently caress off Good news, they're small in number and being told to gently caress off

Cerebral Bore posted:Well, there was the whole nazi mod debacle and Jeffrey didn't exactly cover himself with glory handling that. So I'd personally prefer if we held the admins' feet to the fire to make sure that they don't start doing stupid poo poo again. I've also been really unhappy with his desire to reinstate FYAD - it went away for a really good reason and I'm not convinced it can just go back wholesale without immediately going back to being a big transphobic mess. e;f,b
