My suggestions, if they are worth anything, is to revise the language policy to actually encourage moderators and IKs to properly work context, which seems to be the main problem after all. It's an unpaid job with lots of information in flux, it's not a doozy. Bad decisions will happen and the best thing to do is to admit they happened, recognize the mistakes and put the effort to rectify and improve.

you're definitely right that context matters a lot, and a lot of what ive been trying to do since getting these accursed buttons is trying to read all the big threads and get a feel for the community in those threads as best I can because occasionally I'll see a report for something that I think looks bad, then take a look at the thread and understand it's actually pretty funny and everyone is chill, or that it's been ignored, or that whatever poo poo it stirred has passed and taking action now will just re-ignite the bad posting that annoys people.

I know the big criticism about this language policy stuff is consistency one way or the other, so that's going to require the mods to communicate with each other as well.

maybe our new pro-larry mods could, i don't know, tell the admins the wants and desires of the community they've been appointed to for that community?

like, maybe get something more substantial out of them other than "crusty nutsack is the arbiter of what is and isn't leftist language and the admins will back that up with a literal red wall?"

seriously, it's absolutely loving insane that the pedo chipmunk porn defender still gets to hang around and be like, chainprobed, at worst. the crusty aetass on their own have convinced me that no one with those old-timey scifi longtars should be given any credibility in any corner of the forums

before I got asked to be a mod I've posted for Free Larry, wont pretend otherwise, but from what i gather it wasn't a mod decision at all and so I can't actually free him. I mean I can say "Larry is freed" but if he posts here he'll get banned and then I'll be a giant rear end in a top hat

That's interesting because we've been told in the past that it was a decision of the CSPAM mods (at the time). So far as I know no one has ever actually stood up and said "yeah that was my call and here's why". I'm pretty ambivalent toward whether Larry is actually freed but this mystery bullshit does no one any good.

I think slur avoidance is best kept morally praiseworthy rather than morally mandated. That said it was loving hilarious when ate poo poo on live tv got proved yesterday after insisting that slurs had always been allowed in CSPAM.

And yeah, quit trying to legislate how people interact with D&D. I think the interforum squabbling is loving dismal but that won't solve it. I don't know what will solve it but it isn't that.

To increase or decrease by a factor of X does not mean to multiply it by a number which is a multiplicative factor of X, you double dumbass, you dumbass of a factor of 2

D&D, QCS, FYAD it's all really wretched posting and it sucks. when we were talking about the rules refresh I cam out pretty strongly in favour of rules against that kind of posting but having Read Feedback, I get that it may not be the most effective way to go about it and also people just want space to blow off steam sometimes. but there is a line where it is stirring up drama and drains the life out of threads where it happens.

1. rescind larry's forum ban

2. unmask whoever's re-reg this:

3. crusty nutsack is to be demodded immediately

4. the coolzone is to be gassed as punishment for inflicting crusty nutsack on cspam

oh speaking of which, I think you should clarify in the rules that mere quoting (i.e. removing the link and I guess probably removing the name as well) is okay, just linking is not allowed

unless the new rule is that even quoting is off limits in which case my feedback is that that sucks!

just to be clear for my posts the 'them' and 'her' in that were the cast of TV's The View and congresswoman AOC, if AOC really does kill herself tonight I assure you I will feel v. bad.
