He was directly replying to someone else (with the conversation starting due to another person actually mentioning Glenn "out of the blue" - as had a bunch of other people who weren't punished for breaching some imagined containment zone), and in a way directly relevant to Twitter.

What do you think his "gimmick" is, and why do you think it's so terrible that he has to be probated instead of letting people argue with him

I think majorian is generally a good poster and has the potential to do a good job but should probably just let threads deal with people being annoying unless it becomes overwhelming. Some of the best melt downs happen when people get stuck in that negative feedback loop and cutting it off with probes should be limited to people who go absolutely insane like when xtal did their thing in the podcast thread (and everywhere else they posted)

Dustcat posted:

so why would they shoot up a car because black kids are driving it

they definitely thought shots were coming from that car

Dustcat posted:

i don't know what actually happened at the protest

what's happening online is that people are using these kids' deaths as evidence that black people / leftists / whatever are bad because they will heedlessly shoot up a randomly passing car, especially if a black kid is driving it

shiroc that sounds much less sympathetic than dustcat's speculation, but i guess we can make another thread if we want to elaborate

anyways as much as i hate to say it i agree with some plague broad. az and NHD are actually doing fine and majorian should shut the gently caress up

Man, first Majorian gets run out of D&D for being too friendly to CSPAM, and now this.

Honestly, compared to, you know, most CSPAM mods previous to I guess Son of Thunderbeast, he's doing fine. Just admitting when you've made a mistake is A-Class mod material. (It'll be S-Class if he actually follows through.)

NHD has really scaled back the Main Character Syndrome posting, or at least is confining it to places I don't read, which is basically the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

Dreylad and vyelkin seem pretty cool, though I don't interact with them that much.

I'm still a bit surprised when I see that Crusty Nutsack is still a mod. I suspect she is too.

Free sexpig, free larry, double-permaban Alec Eiffel if possible, free cu-, no that's all.

My general belief is that thread topics aren't real, but I do get why a feedback thread might not be the best place for the relitigation of bad things that happened in Seattle a couple years ago. It's definitely true that "take it to a different thread" is usually a more complicated way of saying "shut up", and I always favor the more direct "shut up".

This particular topic is a little complicated because its natural home thread was not just closed but disappeared (for good reason) and there's really no thread where "Black Teens In Cars: Threat Or Menace, CHAZ Edition" would really fit right now (and I'm not sure a new thread would survive very long tbh).

Ultimately CSPAM is at its best when it's a place for mostly-unfettered conversation, even when those conversations are weird or terrible.

does anybody remember fruit stripe gum? It had a colorful zebra mascot and it lost its flavor in 5 seconds. Today I saw Fruit Stripe brand gummies and bought them on impulse. They taste awful

i was reminded of a conversation we had in the succ zone

there were a lot of people sympathetic to the idea that maybe it's disingenuous to call taibbi rightwing and taibbi dialectics should be considered more fully. no frantic slapping of the report button and calls for bans.

i presented this case to the new landscape of the musk thread. being as nice as possible [i.e. boring], citing over a decades long support of sanders, support for specific policies such as medicare for all, essays about tying the censorship directly to the billionaire privatization of the commons and war propaganda. people were deeply upset that someone would dare suggest this.

idk where im going with this but i hope this helps for feedback

I'd like to rescind the following feedback

Dustcat posted:

i don't know where on the forums a defense of matt taibbi would be at home except the now dead glenn thread, but yeah the musk thread isn't going to be receptive to it

Have you considered making the thread that is nominally about former president Donald Trump a good thread instead of an incoherent nightmare realm?

Ah but have you considered that I am very lazy and easily distrac

not gonna make a trump thread but ive been thinking of a megathread for age gap discourse and opinions about other people having kids. hope i have your blessing as a mod

lmao what happened here

so you gassed the thread?

can i recreate it

Retaliatory probing is a bad look regardless

i request that the mods and admins do not work to develop three or even thirty minute probation lengths

i have never PMed a mod about a probe or gotten mad about being probed at all however if this happened to me i would go berserk with rage

Zodium posted:

this d&d poo poo is much closer to how I expected you to use buttons

if a thread is bad, don't read it. if someone is hostile, flame them. very simple

Zodium posted:

you should resign then, because you will be a bad cspam mod.

speng31b posted:

i don't have any feedback on this stuff related to moderation policy but i will say that going back to when i started posting in SA actively again (i guess about a year?) you and AIT have been so openly hostile to each other in such petty ways that I wish you'd just fight or gently caress or whatever it is you need to end the bloodshed

speng31b posted:

idk man, i have no dog in this fight. im just telling you from the outside it's looked super weird and petty from both of you, and now that you're a mod you'll just get more poo poo for using your mod powers to litigate your slapfight. Take that as you will

i think u gotta tiptoe around certain posters or they wear u down with endless whining. good luck though!

fwiw, I thought you did a pretty good job with the whole Ukraine meltdown saga and keeping things from going off the rails again. hope your experience on the forums stays positive. try not to let cspam's trademark style of low effort aggro trolling get to you too much

HashtagGirlboss posted:

Yeah that’s fair as long as they don’t start slamming their buttons and declaring loudly in mod voice that they’re the boss

lumpentroll posted:

wait you gassed the stewie thread

Weka posted:

It probably would have been a better troll.
As somebody else has mentioned, I think you are pretty quick to respond and could probably do well not to be. I also think you are perhaps a little too sensitive and could roll with the punches better.

You have been making a visible effort to improve and have historically been good about constructive criticism. The Ukraine thread has been better for your work but most threads requires the same level of moderation as that one.
