This is a feedback thread for telling me how you feel about the state of Rapidly Going Deaf. I do have an agenda with this thread. I've been talking with Junpei Hyde about RGD, and we'd like to add what we might call a posting-centred mod. Someone who is here and is posting a bunch. I recognize that might be a bit tricky because podcasts as a topic lends itself to a forum full of megathreads and there's not necessarily a ton of overlap. So tell me: what do you like about the forum? what could be better? Which are the threads that could benefit most from an actively-posting mod?

Seems fine to me honestly. One time someone (Stux I think?) ate a probe that I think was unwarranted but it wasn't really a big deal and it kinda blew over after everyone made some jokes about it. I certainly don't think the forum is over-moderated. In fact, I rarely see any moderator action at all, but I don't think it really needs more moderation either. It's pretty chill. Sometimes there's an annoying/boring discussion but that's the nature of a forum I think. When it happens I just unbookmark whatever thread it was and then jump back in after a few days. People always move on sooner or later. Obviously I can only speak for the threads I read.

That's good to hear. May I ask which are the threads that you read? I'm curious what kind of crossover this subforum gets, as opposed to how many people just stick to a single thread.

The threads I follow don’t get a ton of posts day to day and I really can’t say the last time there was anything close to trouble in any of em. Having a hands-off mod in a sleepy forum where threads can be a decade old or more isn’t a bad thing, imo e: I read the threads for recommendations, TAFS, dollop, doughboys, trueanon, street fight, adam carolla/loveline, bein ian, and lemonparty WEH fucked around with this message at 22:41 on May 24, 2023 |

No real issues but any chance you can rename the "Your Kickstart Sucks" thread to "Your Kickstarter Sucks"? I realized a while back I mistitled the thread and it's been bugging me. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4016632

I only regularly read the Online Creators (youtube video) and the Former Super Best Friends threads here. The Online Creators thread pops off sometimes, but honestly it's been a lot slower in recent months. Twitter declining, a lot of the big people everyone follows putting out content less frequently, and some posters being banned or no longer posting there over the months/years seems to have chilled it out. Some of the larger RGD threads could probably use an IK if a dedicated RGD mod doesn't participate in the thread, just because more active threads means eventually some kind of argument happens. Or maybe someone wants a humorous thread title change? Or someone says "Baba Booey" in the thread once.

(Especially if anyone has different or otherwise less positive experiences.)

I just follow the Chapo, E1, and recommendations threads. The last one solely to try to get more people to listen to E1. I've seen no problem with the level of moderation in any of those. The Chapo thread isn't good but I don't think moderation would be able to fix it.

I only keep up with Online Creators and Giant Bomb threads in here, but both are reasonably chill most of the time. If that general atmosphere applies to the rest of the forum, I agree that the current level of moderation probably doesn't need adjustment until something changes.

Hand Knit posted:For the popping off stuff, do you (or others, feel free to chime in) feel like bad derails happen with much frequency? I think it was overblown with the online creators/internet personality thread tbh. Sometimes it was a silly extended argument. Sometimes one person would fly off the handle because they had no chill. Sometimes it was just people biting on obvious trolling. It's a thread that draws in a large intersection of people who don't interact otherwise, so idk I think misunderstanding jokes, some defensiveness, or "not getting" some stuff is bound to happen. As far as I've seen, the derails aren't as bad or more frequent than the average PYF or GBS thread, where the conversation inevitably drifts into chat.

I was inactive for like 10 years and now I post to one thread about a podcast about stupid podcasts, and everyone has been pretty chill there, even if they don't like the show. Moderation seems fine.

Yeah, to be clear, this discussion is happening because I don't exactly post much if at all anymore, and wasn't sure if that was really a good fit for a mod

RGD has basically chugged along without major issue for years and years. If something does happen, it's reported and dealt with as needed. There's no reason to fix what isn't broken.

I started reading the online creators thread recently and as a new participant it’s gotten testy a couple times but nowhere near needing mod intervention. If the long timers are saying it’s fine it’s good enough for being accessible to new users imo.

The only thing wrong about the Online Creators thread is the massive derails that have happen when the Snyderverse is mentioned and maybe a bit of cud chewing over long ago youtube dramas esp. Channel Awesome

Echoing what people have said that overall things seem to be working well here, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think reframing the question might also help too:Hand Knit posted:what could be better? Which are the threads that could benefit most from an actively-posting mod? Junpei Hyde posted:Yeah, to be clear, this discussion is happening because I don't exactly post much if at all anymore, and wasn't sure if that was really a good fit for a mod I'd turn it back to you both: how often are there reports from RGD as a whole, and how often are you able to make a quick decision as a moderator about them even if you don't necessarily have experience with the thread it's coming from? Because it would seem like the answers are "not a whole lot" and "it's obvious when someone reported is doing something insanely stupid", and if that's the case the system is working! If a thread or two ever gets seems like it's getting a little rowdy maybe have someone on standby as an IK to add until the stupidity is over, but if the flow of reports is pretty low then a full mod is probably overkill.

Cael posted:Echoing what people have said that overall things seem to be working well here, and if it ain't broke don't fix it. I think reframing the question might also help too: From what I see, adminside, is that there aren't a whole lot of reports and when they do happen Junpei deals with them quickly. However, there's a phenomenon that shows up from time to time, especially in megathreads with a settled group of regulars. This is where a thread sorta develops its own set of norms and expectations and so bad poo poo manages to really take hold and nobody reports it because everyone who sees it treats it as normal. (The extreme case of this is the GBS deviantart thread.) So based on that "no reports," while broadly good, isn't always enough to say "all's good, keep it as is." I guess another thing would be that there may be the sort of not-rising-to-requiring-a-report stuff, or the sort of doesn't-require-a-probation level stuff, where a thread would just sort of benefit from an actively posting mod. Like, it doesn't seem like there's any urgent issues here, and we're dealing with stuff on the level of "would be nice" rather than "urgent problem needing fixing." I'm just explaining why this is worth exploring, even if there's no issue with reports being seen and handled.

The online creators thread is a good thread with that comes down with a case of the bad posts once in a while. I think those instances have been dealt with individually as they’ve come up and it’s been fine, but my finger is far from the pulse of that thread.

My usual solution to the internet creators thread derails is to glaze my eyes over and find a video on literally any topic to post with the hopes that other like-minded people will engage so the thread doesn't drown in debate on one thing.

i read a handful of threads here and the forums pretty chill because generally the threads self select for people who would mostly get along. creator thread has a huge scope, so you get a wider slice of people, so it gets rowdy. doesn't really seem like a problem though. doubt you could break it up into smaller threads at this point either, so its whatever using more thread IKs here with a hands off mod has worked so far imo
