I think it's fine to close the thread from time to time, lobster doesn't seem to have caught the mod sleeping sickness and it's not like they're proposing shutting it down whenever they're not directly viewing it like SAD.

if what you're saying is true then it wouldn't be closed enough to matter, ergo don't bother closing it

Croup is a radlib worse then any of the anarchists lampooned in the anarchism thread, who only gets away with it because he does what he projects onto everyone else.

His entire gimmick is either repeating introductory marxist theory in his own thread or making GBS threads up any other thread on the subforum, often showing his total rear end in any subject that isn't cod marxism. Worst call fluffdaddy made in a long time was chickening out on a year ban for him.

taking this feedback under consideration. it's really just if this turns into a chat thread, i don't mind not looking at it for a few days if it means returning to a readable number of posts. but i will think about this!

what I don't get: you post like you are the only mod reading anything

are you actually alone in CSPAM (discounting IKs)?

i can't really speak to how much the other mods are reading/posting particularly as i know some of them are often active in threads (e.g. climate change, trump, covid) i don't read. i also have no idea how much reading vs posting is going on lol, can't really track the latter one. i don't feel like i am flying solo as a moderator at any rate. vyelkin also very active as an admin which is very helpful and appreciated, tahnk you big v.

more broadly though i do think several other mods have said that a busy and fast moving feedback thread that is mostly chat and white noise can be difficult to keep up with on top of along with whatever other threads they normally look at, plus you know mods can also be posters and just post. im the one who keeps making these threads and while i don't mind a busy thread if i can be active on the forums, i don't really want to put a claim on other peoples' time if that makes sense.

i definitely thikn i can be better at communicating when i am getting too busy irl to look at things though and then maybe we can figure out what to do then.

thanks for making the feedback threads & posting here.

posting is the best moderation tool mods have. probes and bans cause more problems than they solve half the time because they are punishments at heart, even the beloved sixer, and people react accordingly to that despite all the well intended protestations of people who think it shouldn't matter. for punishments to be effective moderation tools, they need to be timely and clearly reasoned. that's why it's important that the feedback thread has a quality where mods feel like they can just post in it, and why it was very bad to let the old feedback threads become 100db white noise generators. hopefully more mods will post here.

if you look back at the last feedback thread before it got gassed it was too chatty but the thing that pushed it over the top was the Ringo feedback loop, basically just one poster going goblin mode. it's not a hard thing to moderate you just can't do that when literally no one who has forums wide buttons is around.

If Al! hadn't been annihilated by FD I'm sure he could have taken care of it, really not a big deal

we already got an answer. vyelkin believes cspam is too diverse to support an ik contest. this wasnt a joke i made, it is what he said.
