Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

I think an ideal C-SPAM would have a few chill mods who get the spirit of the forum and (relatively) lots more IKs to basically just monitor the threads they like to post in to make sure nobody's going feral, but who can also be recalled easily.

Zeroing in on this good point because, as some people have said, you do get specific thread subcultures and while there is a lot of overlap in both posters and general attitude, a lot of the modding problems happen when a mod from one thread gets involved in a fight with a different subculture.

There's also a question of the sort of marginal threads- like the totally-not-the-Trump thread is the fastest moving plus stuff like the Dems thread or the COVID thread, and on the other side you've got smaller threads on niche or short lived topics, but you've also got stuff like the Marxism thread, the media thread, the Epstein/conspiracy thread that move slower but still get posts regularly and are devoted to a particular topic

Serious question since I'm not up on forums drama and yet post itt for some reason: it seems to me like CSPAM vs "other forum" is basically just a rivalry with D&D (which frequently gets stupid but is probably to be expected) and some people holding a grudge against FYAD. Is there some huge forum raid of like TVIV I missed?
