Maybe the best solution is just to give everyone mod buttons and ability to give a hot 6 to whoever they like Chaos reigns

CaptainSarcastic posted:To some extent, yeah. You're talking about requiring more labor from an unpaid, volunteer workforce. Why would I want to further cut into my shitposting time by feeling expected to read every post in every thread to see if the use of slurs is appropriately contextual? Having clear lines makes it much more manageable. Well, it's a volunteer position, why do it if you hate reading?

It's not that tough to ID who in the thread doesn't have meltdowns regularly and actually gives a poo poo about keeping the thing alive

DeadFatDuckFat posted:What? When you get a report, do you not look at the context of the post anyways before slamming buttons? Yeah, I do - that's normal procedure. What I was talking about was some expectation to follow all threads and evaluate every use of slurs on a case-by-case basis. More often than not I see a report, check the context, and then dismiss it because no response is needed - there are way more reports that result in no action than ones that do.

CaptainSarcastic posted:This is really not helpful. Should I have included more smilies? Should I swear a little more? What would make it sound less like the dreaded HR voice? dumping a "your ticket is important to us" paragraph is an example of The Mod Voice. the subsequent posts have been more normal, so congrats on that BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:the mouth-breathers is this the useful feedback you were after? a coy little synonym for "retard" doesn't trigger any alarm bells but it's still got the same sentiment behind it the whole "use context" thing involves reading a post, deciding "does this come off as overly aggressive or misogynistic", and probing based off that - you can have misogynistic posts even without saying the no-no word, and if you're saying reading posts is too much effort then i don't really know what to tell you. i understand the benefit of having a clear line in the sand for rulebreaking but it's just either making more work for yourself if you have to manually apply a filter as well, or it's bad modding if your filter replaces any attempt at understanding. it is the philosophy underneath the modding that people are bothered about, rather than the chance to say "oval office" alternatively put an actual wordfilter in place to convert it to "gbs poster", and job done

One of the biggest issues we've seen is that posters feel disconnected from the mods (our "Ivory Tower" if you will), and that complaint isn't without merit. Are we going to agree with and implement every change requested? No. But we certainly will take any decent ideas meant to improve GBS into consideration.

It's not that tough to ID who in the thread doesn't have meltdowns regularly and actually gives a poo poo about keeping the thing alive We do actually try to do this. More IKs and mods would be great. It's just easier said than done - a lot of people decline when asked. That's true across SA as a whole, not just a GBS thing.

No, you clarified it in a later post, and your response was reasonable, it's just as you originally wrote it, it sounded as though you were responding to reports blindly.

tbh an actual word filter on the r-word that replaces the word with an embed to this video would be a solution I'm down for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX-7AnOx22k that way you don't gotta police poo poo and everyone can listen to that hit song from black eyed peas

I find the big threads never leave and I don't want to enter a post with 1k pages. Otherwise the little threads are often worthless boner posts. Why isn't GBS fun anymore? Why am I, a 20 year gbs poster, living in Byob now because they're at least nice? Also no war thread in gbs

Seriously, though, what other approach would you have preferred? A one-liner dismissing the concern? A leading question? An actual animated GIF? Sure, my writing style can get a little pedantic, but I do that all the loving time. I've posted the same way forever, from way before I was a mod, and I drop in and out of conversational shitposting and essayist as appropriate. Again, this seems like setting up a no-win situation where either I can answer sincerely and be accused of using "Mod Voice" or I can shitpost and be accused of not listening to users and not taking things seriously.

There's probably a debate to be had about the merits of compartmentalizing the forums into ever smaller subs.

Oh yeah and I don't know any of the mods and admins anymore and they seem to either disappear when they do something irritating or are unnecessarily aggro in their pet threads or whatever. Saddest Rhino owns though. Mod voice bad, I'm 35 with a mortgage and a wheezy lung, talk to me normal.

You’re right, and I’m going to edit my post in a minute because I let my utter and absolute hatred of QCS/SAD color my words. That’s on me and this isn’t the place for it. And no, I’m not still mad about MPP/Derpies/deviantart whatever. I agree that those subjects were controversial, BUT other than grumbling I accepted the administrative decisions about them. I didn’t go crying to QCS because things didn’t go my way. All QCS and SAD do is allow the same twenty squeaky wheels to disingenuously call for blood and dictate policy in forums they only enter to troll.

Unfortunately there's also like Greg of Doom and Grand Wizard Master and all Those Guys. But they are kinda fun because they say super stupid poo poo for us to laugh at

Take care of yourself In my time as mod, Greg has gone through... What six accounts? Something like that. I don't see him as necessarily a harmful poster, just one that doesn't always toe the line well and gets hit for it. I don't think he's a candidate for a permanent goodbye at all honestly, not in the same nature of those long gone. He's generic white noise shitposter #273 imo I know we have that rule against gimmick accounts and the like but it's never really been enforced because it's a legacy rule from long ago. That's probably one that'll be purged in the rules redo
