In this case it's less "editing" and more "Right-Click—>Select-All the post, hit the period key once, and then save it like that".

Also that's a dumb thing to worry about Namtab, you sound like an anti-government doomsday-prepper nutjob. Have a little more faith in your overseers until they get outed for something horrifying.

it's because they simply were not off to a bad start. the closest thing to a weird post was mine and anyone should have been able to see it was me leaning into the "be normal" semi-joke given that i got through the whole vtuber thread without eating a single probe for fuckery

At some point I'd like to be able to have a non-creepy v-tuber thread in ADTRW, and I think it's possible, but it's going to require heavy moderation and ideally new moderation to help enforce it. I haven't had success so far on that front, which is why I still have the thread ban in place.

Until then, I'm going to restart the chat thread and just put an explicit rule in the OP "don't post about v-tubers in this thread".

Pretty cool that you can apparently get a topic banned by just complaining that you don't think it's interesting a bunch

i do not say this as a dunk or to be mean spirited to our moderator julias, but the issue at this point for some posters seems to not even be the vtubers, but the fact that he is tina and the forums are bob in this clip

It's been 4 months. If that's not enough time people are just better off making a thread in tviv or CCCC.

There is no amount of 'time to rest' that will resolve anything, given that it's not like the sorts of people that rampaged around making GBS threads everywhere are going to stop being dipshits anytime soon, based on their long and storied history of being vaguely punished Forums Dipshits.

Nobody posts in the Let's Vtube thread because I expect things to be even worse outside ADTRW. What do you imagine to happen there when the standard reaction of the rest of the forum is still to hate on anything anime related?

So, what are the qualifications to be the new mod or IK to help you thread ban people who are incapable of keeping it in their pants, and can you tell us why the three people who volunteered couldn't fulfill them?

Nobody who could wants to, and nobody who wants to should.

SA has a weird idea that modship is a prestigious status meaning the majority of people who want to be mods are complete freaks.

I can name two mods in recent memory that posted CP from adtrw alone lol

I feel like anime content creators (people who talk about anime) and vtubere (people who talk as anime) aren't exactly one in the same, and it'd end up being a very confused thread.

Frankly, considering vtubers are just streamers with avatars, I almost figure they'd be best talked about where streamers are instead of in ADTRW. Like, outside of the aesthetic (which doesn't even need to be an anime aesthetic!), what makes this an anime topic? As a bonus it'd also mean not having to deal with Julias' blanket ban.

If the answer is "we think other parts of the forum would just be lovely about it", than either getting an IK or putting the thread in CCCC might be the best plan.

So with that post it got reported, I gave an initial 12 hour probation and PM'd the user a "what the gently caress?" and they responded that it was supposed to be a joke, and that they weren't thinking of it being in bad taste, or the fact that the character was a high schooler, and that they would refrain from making either of those mistakes again.

Given their general post history I personally didn't think that the poster was a pedo, and that it was indeed just some bad judgment on their part. Maybe I was too lax in this case, but I generally tend to swing lighter first with my probations.
