I thought the point of this was so Chuck/Major could have better visibility of overall forum moderation and keep the powers that be away from Imp Zone. sounds somewhere between beneficial and completely benign to me.

i can't remember the thread where we discussed it, and i wondered the same thing but someone pointed out that they can't do poo poo in there about the loudest voices (chobes mentions this sometimes) and they can't even tell us what they're talking about or :redass: it feels more like they're the 'designated grownups' to keep scawwy imp zoners in line when our posters were the ones wronged by vindictive moderation. it certainly hasn't cleared the air from synthy and larry getting wrongfully blasted

I think it's good to have someone that can provide an Imp perspective in the Mod forum and have more mods that aren't dumb as hell, but I think it's best to defer to what the forum at large wants.

We need to have some guys at the table when the real hardcore poo poo goes down in the mod forum with our boys. Do you know how absurd that sounds lmfao. The idea that anyone but Synthy deserves to be “protected” or represented is totally insane first off, second off the idea that Synthy won’t have himself looked after, the idea that anyone could seriously miss one of the 20 guys who makes the same mods are bad posts as Larry, including Larry himself, so badly that you need a free speech team?? gently caress you. Stop sucking on each other’s dicks whenever you write unfunny poo poo about mods in other forums and stop acting like the kind of harmless poo poo people have always talked in this forum could seriously be misinterpreted and need a litigator. And even if it does, who gives a gently caress.

I don't care either way at this point. Mods won't be able to stop more imps from getting zapped if that's what Jeff wants. But it's also clear that Chuck and Isoor don't exist to reign in Imps in much the same way JD and Chobes don't exist to reign in FYAD, and it's a weird double standard to have considering how many people here post in both places.

I agree with Wormskull that talking about this stupid forums politics poo poo is always gay as hell.

No one of any consequence has ever been taken from this forum regardless of the number of its police force except in circumstances they accepted when it happened. Running “larry is small” type personality jokes into a t shirt shaped hole in the ground chasing free lmfaos is why you think your “buddies” are getting “picked off” but the truth is all those people were forgettable enough to be copycats, or knew they might get shot, and that’s life. People who come back here bragging and complaining with their dicks out should have been domed on sight.

ih onestly dont give a poo poo if we have mods or not. i dont think it's fuckin selling out our culture but also i dont think it matters that much whether we do or dont. if more people think we shouldnt have them then lets get rid of them. i also think talkin forums politics is some boring poo poo nd i'd rather just fuckin play games and make jokes

And again to emphasize: only tiny edgelords like Larry and career troublemakers like Synthy (keep using because he’s everyone’s example of a Imp who was discriminated against lol) were the only imps ever in danger of the bullshit mods supposedly solve, and for good or evil those guys know what they’re getting into. Mods are stupid but how can they understand the idea that Larry and Synthy were not banned as imps but as nuisances better than you. The poo poo people have talked here inside this forum since day one has obviously never approached needing an investigation [was the noob a bitch? 9/10 times yes. And the 1/10 time the other guy got his rear end kicked instead. And everyone deserved it and no one had a reason for bad feelings lmfao. Because it’s a video game forum and we understood that] so what’s so convincing about this protection racket and why do more feelers for pejoratively gay poo poo have to drop into the forum half life style. Larry was a CIA plant and Major Isoor and Chuck have been waiting to spring this poo poo for years. Finally paid off boys. Lmfao.

i don't think that the nebulous, intangible element known only as "the vibe" has been changed for better or worse by having mods. things have been pretty good around here lately after that brief burst of bs. hopefully we can keep doing cool poo poo.

This forum is about selling copies of WWE2K23 and publicly updating our journals on the weekend, maybe breaking out a cheap DSP laugh every time someone tells us the dream they had about their dog. And it’s looking quite loving good boys. Full steam ahead.

This is my feeling on it too. I’m not like attached to the star and if most people here don’t want mods I’ll respect that. It was part of the discussion from the beginning that if we decided we didn’t want them we could reverse it. But at the same time I haven’t done anything different as mod that I didn’t do as IK, and I barely did anything as IK the last few months since the IKs lately have been shooters that deal with poo poo before I even see it. Isoor can speak for himself if he wants to but I haven’t seen him do anything mod-related in Imp Zone either aside from basic IK housekeeping stuff. So I don’t think it’s fair to act like we’re Jeff’s quislings or doing anything to change the vibe, unless the bare fact the stars are blue instead of gray is that big a deal. It isn’t to me but I guess I’m biased, though I think I’d feel the same if it were someone else instead of me.

hey chuds. there needs to be 50 mods to protect the imp.zone brand, which has jeffery of yospos approved, public facing discords and tshirt shops now. Toxicity and hate brought down the CityNameSportsTeam brand which in turn had ripple effects on other classic SA brands like Moof shirts, Klurf Shirts, etc. we must not allow it to happen again.

and remember, use coupon code USAgeOfConsentLawsDontApplyToInternationalAirspaceBillGatesStatysWinning for 50 cents off orders above 300 dollars on the impzone customized girl store.

it's probably fun to get hella invested in forum politics but i just like the IK contests because it feels like a lottery ticket of sorts and gambling is win. I thought it was weird to get mods but isoor and chuck are the most normal people on the planet so i didn't care. p much what fungah said. also my phone autocorrected isoor to idiot lol.

oh, and i don't really know about the situation cus i'm new here, but i've been on other forums way back, and even when mods are good they're unnecessary like 99% of the time and the forum would've been better off without them. it's a weird power dynamic too. is all i have to say about it.

also mods being there to "give a voice to the imps" feels like a moot point imo, considering it's the admins who keep loving up and it only takes 53 threads on SAD for something to maybe happen and a random mod goes "we're talking about this in the mods forum but i cant say anything else". i feel that the creation of the wrestling fed and the continued greatness of the game club has done more to bring a better image to IZ. their thread IKs have been more than enough moderation as well. no offense to chuck and isoor, of course.

also, chain probing and the collective effort put into them is very cool and funny. it's something that mods have less incentive in doing.

Yeah, pretty much. I don't mind one way or another either, tbh - so if IZ opinion has veered back to its 'no mods' stance, then so be it! I don't think much will change at the moment one way or another, overall.
Since yeah, as you said I haven't done much in here beyond basic housekeeping stuff, which can now mostly be handled via the thread IKs. Aside from the rare report and trying to be a sane voice in the mod forum, that's about it. (Oh, and probing lollontee, haha :v: )

Maybe we need to have a thread to talk about it further, if more imps have opinions? Anyway, Congrats to Knuc U Kinte, regardless! Good to have a mapgamer win :D
