Remove 'don't make fun of us' cause its lame and instead tell IKs they can hell probe people from other forums that only turn up to make bad posts. Embrace the freedom and power that comes with being a FYAD-lite

Ok, well everyone seems to either hate this rule or not understand it's purpose, so what if we change it to something like, "don't be an rear end in a top hat who only makes bad posts or you'll get chainprobed"

POSTERS BEWARE: POST AT YOUR OWN PERIL Rules don't actually exist and will be arbitrarily enforced. Don't be an rear end and you won't be a target!

I don't agree with everything the mod team does, but you guys been doing fine. Please just find a way to stop the thread making GBS threads tho. If that means more IK's to handle specific threads like the pictures thread that seems to be targetted, then so be it.

the rule's purpose seemed clear to me, but the second line of it makes it seem less like a moderation thing and more like a "don't talk poo poo to me or my posters ever again" thing. threadshitting is annoying, because even if this is a shitposting subforum most of our threads tend to kind of have a topic that we vaguely keep to, and that topic isn't usually being an antagonistic prick (except the Succ Zone, where being antagonistic seems to be the point).

Its hard to tell exactly, probably it’s us sometimes, depends on when mods/admins clear the queues

I think one of the worst parts of modding is having to use the word “queue” all the time, the spelling just doesn’t make any sense

Plenty of serious stuff, but sometimes there are multiple reports for a single problematic discussion and that inflates the number. There is also plenty of stuff that is reported but doesn’t break any rule or seem serious enough to act on. Sometimes people will just use the report button to make a joke about a post somehow. Someone reported a gif of a cute puppy the other day with the comment, “take a short break from doing reports and check out this cute puppy.” Pictures of food which people don’t like are almost always reported.

my complaint about cspam mods is they don't probe often or for long enough Mourne should have eaten a month the third time he came into the covid thread to drunkpost and harass women who aren't interested in him. sure, it was funny at first, but now it's just gross and kind of sickening, and imho that's when it's time to ramp up to a ban  I used to be the kind of person who was really uptight about having clear-cut rules and not leaving things open ended lest people be punished for being unpopular. now I'm mostly of the opinion that moderation is less about rules in general than trying to foster a community with the vibe you want. a big part of that is just leading by example, but removing people who are a drag on that, either until they shape up or permanently, is also important. most people don't even read rules until they've broken one so who cares another big part of being a good mod is taking poo poo without feeling tempted to use your powers to defend yourself like a tantruming child and c-spam mods and IKs seem pretty good at that in general. with some exceptions. I forgot where I was going with this. C-spam is pretty high strung and vulnerable, it seems like a hard forum to mod

About 15? Google voice is pretty bad at transcribing them, and it kind of ruins the surprise. So far they’ve mostly been pretty short. I’ll wait till we get more in before I release them.
