its weird that jeff and the admins constantly claim the posters of each sub should develop and propagate their own culture but we're not allowed to pick our own mods or more importantly, recall mods easily when they turn out to be bad at it.

I think Majorian is asleep and I don't want to put words in their mouth so I'll let them explain their own reasoning later if they want to, speaking for myself I've found the trip down cspam memory lane in some of the other threads to be kinda fun but this one was aggressively unpleasant

The reasoning was pretty simple: I thought it was annoying, so did a bunch of people who reported it, and Az had previously said it would cost AiT :10bux: if he kept doing it. I figured that extended to other folks who were doing the same thing. I guess not.

what did you find annoying about it? what did some of the reports say was annoying?

For me just posting “bump” when reviving these threads instead of, I dunno, posting something funny and original just reads like you’re trying to be annoying, which, hey, mission accomplished I guess. Folks who reported or PMed said that they think it’s annoying too. Some are having trouble picking out old threads from new ones. It’s a pretty basic complaint.:shrug:

then you should have probed me and not them. i was the one who was posting "bump". ckf and ait were making posts germane to the threads they were posting in.

additionally, none of them threads bumped were threads people were actively posting in, and thus wouldn't be covered under az's alleged blanket approval to ban ait for i guess posting in active threads?

you clearly didnt read them and you dont know anything about it. to me, that looks like you just saw posts from people you dont like because we dont respect you and think you're doing a bad job and say so. i could be wrong!

a hot tip for mods in the future, while im in this generous mood: when someone reports being annoyed that the posts they want to appear on the first page appear on the second, perhaps that report can be disregarded

ive never used bookmarks and never will. i can sort of understand people getting disoriented by new threads floating up and being miffed but that is how forums work. i really think making up rules on the spot and blasting "Placeholder" on people is going to lead to bad times. just from a mechanics standpoint every placeholder a mod uses that does not result in a stronger replacement punishment is going to reduce your authority and right to rule. it can also result in a unique nickname. i think people really tend to overlook the dialogue options in favor of their abilities but you'll end up missing some of the best moments doing that.

Eh, I honestly didn’t realize people like it. It seems like more people like it than hate it, so I’ll leave it alone.
