I don't really post in LP much anymore, I barely update my own LPs, don't know anyone in this forum, don't engage with the community, have no sense of proper rule etiquette, and probably wouldn't bother using my powers anyway.

I'll do it.

As your new mod of LP, I pledge to bring an unprecedented era of productivity to the forums in the form of the Just Post Initiative. Posting will not only be encouraged, but in fact be mandatory, and all lurkers will be required to post not only their own LP but engage in a least three threads a week.

Normally I don't make aesthetic criticisms in other peoples' homes, but that rug looks like a beaver exploded. If meat is murder, then that rug is at least a severe beating.
My first order of being a mod will be a petition to rename the forum "Let's Game 'n' Go".

My first order of business will be to forget I'm a mod entirely until I get an angry dm asking why I've not done anything to help the other mods.

Typo speaking truth.

How much of the forum is one supposed to be reading on a daily basis as a mod? Or is it ok to just chill in your usual few threads and respond to reports?

Don't post Small Dash!
So rather than start a campaign to make me mod for another four years--or more horrifyingly, an admin--i figured i'd make a bunch of people IKs so they can try out buttons and see if they even like the idea of being mod. that way it's like a video game where i am some sort of large enemy that when defeated splits into three smaller enemies.

tithin and leal, due to your stated interest, you've been given grey stars. i'll send you the IK how-to document via PM in a bit. oldskool, unfortunately, there are no grey anarchy symbols so i did not make you a grey star.

i want to make one more IK before steppin' away. any one else want to try it for a spin? less onerous than mod! see if you even like it! we could even just toss every name into a random generator and have the final star pulled that way.

I don’t need a general forum IKship, but being able to edit spoilers out of posts without having to ping you guys would be neat, even if it’s been a minute since it came up.

All jokes aside, if something needs to be looked at, send me a PM (can't see the reports forum) and I'll take care of it.

DoubleNegative and PurpleXVI... your names are now in the ring for the third star. This will be settled in the most SALP of fashion...

THROUGH ROCK PAPER SCISSORS!

PM me your choice. When I have both, I will reveal them in this thread to see who has won that round. Best of three takes the star.

Hey LP IKs sound neat, it would make more people read threads they wouldn't otherwise through reports at the very least.

Hmmmmm... serious suggestion actually.

I saw in a discussion in SAD (the new QCS) recently that admins consider IKs very low stakes and can make them any time.


What if... we make OPs of LP threads an IK of that thread by default, or upon request?

Edit: There is a subforum of PYF called "post my favorites" where the OP of any thread is the only one who can post in that thread. I think they made it such that ops there are automatically made IKs so they can change their own title. So if this already exists on a technical level, this wouldn't be any work either.

IKs don't have access to reports sadly, they need to be told where the trouble is.
