ideally I think we should aim to have a 2:1 ratio of mods/iks to posters, at minimum

C-SPAM has like 15 mods and Gaupo Gaucho is not even forumbanned yet for the constant negative attention seeking, threadshitting, and violent threats. I like C-SPAM, but holy poo poo why have all these mods if you’re not going to do anything about persistently toxic posters?

the fact that mourne has not gotten banned for his posts in the covid thread yet is very telling tbh

If there's one thing 2020 proved over the course of the year, it's that there's always somebody nuder and madder online. FYAD and D&D will be mad at CSPAM until TGRS is madder at FYAD until GBS is mad at TGRS, rinse, repeat, fifteen iterations later, Pet Island and Goons with Spoons are at each other's throat, nothing has been learned.

How about a poster who just got unbanned calling the entire forum (except FYAD) a bunch of unhinged psychos:

Hizke posted:

I'll do it. In FYAD we say whatever cuz its funny to be flippant whereas in CSPAM and other grey forums, all you lunatics are absolutely 100% sincere on wishing death on others or laughing at people dying and thinking fat people are hideous abominations or wanting to blow up animals or WHATEVER hosed up thing you guys are obsessed with at the moment.

And there it is.

Because a different FYAD poster got accused of hating everyone, so this poster who, again, just got released from a ban, just couldn't contain their bile for the entire website.

well you see i know that it's impossible to actually tell if someone is saying a slur ironically or for real, but trust us we can tell and will enforce intent. also it's cool for us to have threads where we tell goons who've never posted here to kill themselves because if they don't read fyad, they won't know.

That's just QCS 24/7 nowadays. Some crazy fucker lays out his Anti-Communist Manifesto for why CSPAM Delenda Est, or says "yep! only FYAD is allowed to use slurs, because we're funny!" and the mods in QCS either don't say a drat thing, or join in and agree that "CSPAM Mods need to be much harsher, hmm, yes, this is a real issue." Jeff putting in 1% effort the other day, and writing a single post along the lines of "these CSPAM screeds in QCS are getting tiresome" was, shockingly, a tiptoe in the right direction. It's not hard - just tell the QCS Regulars to shut the gently caress up once in a while, and ban them if they don't. That's all it takes, just show a tiny modicum of leadership rather than sitting there silently.

tbh, that's one thing I respect the current CSPAM mod team for. I might disagree with them on some things, but at least they're not afraid to disagree with the posters in their own forum.

it seems like a positive change that FYAD is now no longer allowed to tell people to kill themselves, but the way it's laid out? its gonna be applied selectively and used as a cudgel, just like the initial slur ban. "ah, nope, this full page of slurs and threats in FYAD was clearly a joke. now, these 3 people telling Jeff Bezos to jump in a lake in CSPAM? They were clearly serious, per the new rule they're all banned."

it seems to me like fyad can still tell people to kill themselves as long as they claim they don't think the person actually would kill themselves, which is ludicrously stupid and an extremely obviously contrived rule meant to allow them to do whatever they want with impunity. and slurs are 100% a-ok because they aren't illegal. absolutely no progress was made

I think both of these are right. Koos seemed nice and willing to listen throughout the whole thing, and took peoples' concerns seriously, which was nice to see.

In practice? ehhh there's going to be a lot of debate about where exactly that line falls as soon as the rule gets put into practice, it's gonna be subject to the exact same "nah FYAD was joking, CSPAM was serious" arguments that have already been common and accepted there, and "the only things prohibited in FYAD are straight up illegal activity" seems like a really bad precedent to set.

if i understand correctly, in principle you can do anything that isn't illegal in fyad. you can use slurs or tell people to kill themselves (or not since it's illegal in some places) if the mods feel you are funny and being ironic.

this is asking a lot based on basically trust that unlike literally every other ironic nazi on the internet, they don't mean it, and that they can tell the difference when you see it reliably, which is a thing no one else can do. so maybe they could not be complete hypocrites who don't care all over the forums every 3-8 weeks about it?
