People calling honest descriptions of reality "doomposting" is a much bigger problem than megathreads, imo.

Agreed. Accusations of "doomposting" are more of a D&D take.

Labeling CSPAM a "safe space" or a "quarantine zone" sounds like an outsider's take, too. In general, people here would rather argue it out and mock someone for having a dumb opinion than call in the mods. That's not really a safe space. We have an awesome mental health thread though. I'd call that a safe space. We're probably viewed as a "quarantine zone" by liberals on the site. I don't think anyone really cares.

Each megathread has its own culture, and I'd rather see mods come from within the specific megathread. I'm a fan of the succ zone, and having someone who didn't get the thread (ie Flavius) moderate it sucked.

I mostly just lurk, but I think CSPAM has a neat culture to it, and I'd like to see a very light hand in moderation. Threads can be funny and informative here. I don't really see any of the "chat" threads as off-topic. As others said, everything is political.


EDIT: Lots of new posts as I wrote this. I agree about having more IKs.

Thanks for taking some effort to get us. There's a perception (real or not) of outsiders coming in and loving things up because they don't get it.

I think CPSAM is in a good spot in many ways. I don't think we need a more narrow definition of the forum, which could be used to exclude content. If people want to talk about something, just let 'em.
