Don't have much feedback:
The mods have been excellent at communicating with the non-mod posters in the UK//RU thread while also allowing the thread to 'breathe'.
I feel like they deftly handled the hot potato of the entire forums' attentions suddenly being put onto a single CSPAM thread as some kind of gauge for whether CSPAM should continue existing, and the danger has now mostly passed it feels.

I also feel like a lot of the current mods and IKs of CSpam have their hearts in the right places, too, in that there aren't too many that stand out as having huge personalities (w/e that means) that would desire to dominate conversations. This is a bittersweet moment for me, personally, because I don't think I can pay any more attention to the respective mods' actions without coming up with *something* that could reasonably be complained about, so... In the court of my opinion, it's only downhill from here, mods! Use your time wisely.

Truth is I like a lot of the users here and from the posts in this thread I gather a lot of the users liked quite a few of the posters that the mods *don't* necessarily want coming back and that's inherently sad and so I wish we could gulagworkshop them back into our good posting graces somehow.

Snoo's art is and was rad who cares about the rest, people shouldn't feel threatened for posting on a website for crying out loud, and it's a shame that a creative person like Snoo would feel it best to migrate off the SA boards.

the witchcraft thread was insanely cringe and it was very very funny that making fun of its premise or proponents meant you were a sexist bernie bro lmfao

Just you wait I'm gonna hex you so bad that you'll canonically wish a giant woman would hold you both forcefully and sensually, possibly metaphorically...

what was the gist pf the chipmunk porn kerfuffle? I think I missed out on that one by virtue of not giving a gently caress

Flavius Aetass was IK'd then later modded in CSPAM as a result of his(?)/their time spent as a Trump thread regular. He did a lot of contentious stuff as a mod that that a "main character syndrome" moderator would do, which included moving an entire thread full of his detractors to FYAD so that everyone there could be punished by FYAD's IK/Mod buttons, if they so desired.

Basically, Flavius Aetass somehow became a "liability" to FYAD, "extradited" a bunch of CSPAM posts to FYAD, and then a little bit later got himself caught up in a kerfluffle where he defended a very specific image of the Chipmunks (of Alvin fame) getting blowjobs from cartoon silhouettes as nothing more than a "twitter meme", as opposed to a depiction of child pornography, and this was the straw the broke the camel's back.

No one defended Flavius' assessment that this was a cartoon meme 'allowed' on twitter, other than SpiderHyphenMan, who also got banned as a result of all this. Flavius (then mod) autobanned and sometimes pops in to LMAO at something???? It's weird and I wish everyone involved peace.

I could also be full of poo poo. My perspective is faulty, please someone course-correct..~!

if there's enough folks around here who want to talk about witchy stuff, I'd say go for it. there's enough overlap with the world of UFOs and witchy stuff that I have a passing familiarity, even if I'm not a believer, let alone a practitioner. the criticism of it as being a bougie affectation always rung a little hollow since the folks i'm acquainted with who are into it are about as far from bougie as it gets but if the thread is gonna survive that would be something that the folks there should be able to respond to

also in the interest of full disclosure the edibles have kicked in so i may be very much misreading your post

Consider the forged art thread.

Look, my knowledge in the power of magic tells me that shared belief is a required component in magical efficacy and cspam posters are actually especially well-trained in spotting and taking down group magical thinking that can lead to faulty trust in politicians and poli/econ disasters etc. They jump on that kinda poo poo like catnip and then the magical posters often get forced to defend some reproducible ability of theirs or othershit - it's all dumb but you should separate church and state IMO.
