Not Somethingawful's mods per se, but any other forum that I frequent seems to be moderated by retards. Moreven specifically, they seem to be retarded when it comes to the concept of bumped threads.

Now it makes sense to punish users that bump three month old threads with a literal one word post that doesn'the add anything to the conversation, but more often I am seeing people bump old threads with updates and relevant information to the op, only to see some autist post "hurrr don't bump threads" and lock the topic.

So, I guess it makes more sense to make a new thread about x movie instead of posting in a thread that already exists? How the gently caress does that even make sense? I guess the mods are just like "derrrrrrr rules say this" and just acting for the sake of full filling their title, as opposed to actually weighing things rationally.

tl;dr forum moderators are retarded, and I'must an even bigger retard for posting about it in gbs.

I hope one of them puts a "You don't have to be crazy to work here...but it helps" sign up in the mod lounge and then they all have a sensible chuckle.

I've been on the forums for a while and the only person on my ignore list is fishmesh. The mods must be autistic retards since they haven't banned him yet.

Mods are the cream of the crop in their respective forums and know whats best for said forums. The pressure of running the forum is what turns them autistic though. :shrug:

Classy.

if you put enough thought and effort into message boards that you know who the gently caress the mods are, or to get annoyed with specific posters enough to put them on ignore, you are the autistic retard.
