Friends, I love that GBS is a community where people from all walks of the forum come together to mingle, discuss, and learn from each other. The organic conversations that spring forth from these daily interactions are delightful and informative.

Unfortunately, this isn't the right thread to have a quick chat in.

Fortunately, there's a GBS Chat thread to satisfy all your idle-chatting-with-your-posting-buddies needs.

It's here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4030048&pagenumber=4&perpage=40

Come chat!

Maybe a sticky in the CC forum directing the posters there to the GBS fair art thread after it gets posted would be useful, should they want to make money off their art. Maybe take like, a week or so to ask people about it for collecting artists and their blurbs so you get as many as possible before posting.

This

And also maybe a banner ad. Maybe we can have a contest thread to design it?

So how does one find more moderators for a forum with such varied topics as this? Most threads are trying to make other people laugh (or just to get attention) and there are some Very Serious threads and the tone and participants are all over the board.

Like taking it on good faith that the SAD thread is actually "about" there needing to be more mods here*, that's something I can get behind, but I wouldn't know who to point to. I'm for sure not a "forum regular" despite reading lots of different threads here for years. Who is the right combination of responsible and fun to take care of Things Wot Need Taken Care Of without becoming a tinpot dictator? If you were going to describe them, what would they do as a poster that make you think "they could help?"

I'm probably in the minority here in that I think that most posters are being sincere in their desires to make the forums a Better Place to Post, so this is a good question imo.

Mod Solefad if she'll take it, mod Tarquinn.

Other than that, idk, give forum IKs access to forum reports I guess but that's general forum feedback and not really on topic here

Possibly, but for a lot of them their suggestions are "make this sub functionally identical to another already existing sub", which is very stupid, and also their general hostility and obnoxiousness casts shadow over their internet. Ultimately, why should the working of a sub be dictated by the people least likely to use it and most irrationally offended by its existence.

Fwiw i think Aardvark's attitude of live and let live is correct, there's no need to persecute harmless weirdos, which seems to be the current angle of the abolish GBS movement, it's part of the local Kolorit

There do seem to be a few people carrying weird posting grudges and a couple of shitposters who try to stir things up for drama, but I try to avoid using the same big brush, as it were.

I agree with Solefad and others. I think GBS could use more active mods. I think Seth does a lot of the heavy lifting and I feel that it isn't really fair to have the moderation of the busiest subforum on the site be resting on two or three people.

You’re wrong about the sincerity but whatever.

In any case, Tarquinn would be fine as a mod but Solefald has openly said they “don’t get” GBS.

If I'm wrong, no real harm done in letting individual posters get themselves probed.

Who else would you suggest, if not Solefad?

Realistically I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to pool the audience for suggestions for mods. I'm sure Seth, Aardo and co are perfectly capable of identifying people who can do the job. I really don't encourage them to take suggestions from posters, who are all far more biased and with their own interests, regardless of where they normally post.

Realistically I don't think they're going to take whoever the thread wants just because the thread chose them tbh but like Seth said, it can help bring posters that might not otherwise be considered to their attention. Posters like 16 bit butthead and the Sl/mugworth mashup poster we made in a vat out back

Doc goes "Ah! Common problem with a simple solution, if the bad posts are upsetting you, simply don't read them. Then you'll feel better"
Man bursts into tears, "But doctor! I'm the one posting them"
