No. They barely post, they escaped attention because they're mostly a lurker who has less than 10 posts in the last year. Their unhinged murder fantasies about public figures and other posters is way beyond acceptable for CSPAM, and both vyelkin and I quickly agreed we'd have given them a ban+30 for their prior rapsheet entry from December 2021.

We'd appreciate if folks would PM a mod, admin, or start a SAD thread if there's a serious current issue.

Is the forum admins email good for things like this or does "dude who can't stop talking about his lust for civilian blood" not rate high enough for the oh-poo poo email list? Because we seem to have an awful lot of these types showing their whole rear end these days.

Fritz the Horse posted:

Yeah, admin email is good, though I wouldn't say this example was an emergency. We don't get that many admin emails, from what I've seen, a handful a week so far? Certainly it's not going to get lost in the shuffle. The advantage of an email is all of us see it, so you're likely to get a quicker response.

Another good option would be the "small questions" thread in SAD, which I do have bookmarked. You could post there if there hasn't been action on something for a bit, though keep in mind it can sometimes take a few hours until someone goes through reports or whatever.

In this case, it was a little more than 2 hours between the 6er in CSPAM and vyelkin and I noticing the report, having a discussion with CSPAM mods and IKs, and landing on ban+30 with explicit warning the next time they do their thing it's a permaban. The system more or less worked as intended, I think?

Anyhow, the main reason I want to discourage discussion of current moderation issues itt is I think those conversations should be in a public feedback space (SAD or forum feedback threads) so everyone can participate, not in PYF Legends. Or in private, if they're private conversations.

Fair. I just wanted to ask because when the forum admins distribution list was announced it was said that it was the oh poo poo emergency line and what constituted acceptable things to bring up there wasn't actually outlined. I feel like this is the kind of thing that might be a good use for the email list because popping something like this into QCS/SAD has historically resulted in the posting pals of the accused rolling up to stir poo poo. It'd just be nice to make sure we're not going to get blasted by the staff for shooting "so this dude can't stop talking about how much he wants people to die" emails to the admin DL whenever this kind of thing pops up.

I could definitely see people in the covid thread getting themselves into absurd amounts of debt doordashing groceries every week while chanting "covid is over" and alienating their friends and families.

I'm pretty sure 99% of the sagas that have come out of c-spam have come from the covid, trump, and the memory holed rioting/cool zone threads, and specifically from people whose posts are/were almost entirely confined to one or more of those three threads. Unfortunately they're also the most profitable threads on all of SA.

I don't mean to start a current drama thing but there are people who are absolutely addicted to posting in the trump thread for example. It got rebooted four days ago and there are posters in there with eight, nine, ten pages of posts. Each. Already.

fabgoons (and maybe also the trans thread?) moved there because Bobby Wickham was one of the worst moderators this website has ever had, peace thread probably has some funny story about why it's there, and the rest of them suck rear end but not quite enough to get obliterated by the admins apparently

on the other hand if I'm remembering the timeline right then it saved them from being under the purview of koalas march and cascadebeta at the time of the troubles, and I can only imagine THAT would have been a fascinating nightmare for the residents

hm i guess to elaborate in a vague fashion leon didn't actually dox anyone (hence why he hasn't been permabanned) or do anything malicious but i think there was some rather cavalier handling of some PI. which, in the context of everything that has happened recently, the admin team seems to want to nip in the bud. sorry i really don't want to get super into the weeds here but i also don't want people to think that there was some flagrant "user's irl name and address is..." thing happening.

also if anyone doesn't know and is curious mods can't see (or i guess if we can i have no idea how to lol) personal information, our tool for alt checks is just asking an admin.

turns out the formerly permabanned guy who had gotten multiple warnings *after* being unpermad to stop being a fuckin weirdo in D&D wasn't fit to be a moderator of D&D (or any forum for that matter). who could have guessed!
