whatever mods don't listen administration sucks, it's the same as it's been since the site opened

anyway, I'm casting my vote for crazy cloud as C-SPAM President as, well, I don't think we have had another one since the first election

Yeah, I PMed VideoGames with my perspective and got a thoughtful response.

D&D doesn't want to deal with us being adjacent to them but also doesn't want us to get our own forum and self-determination because it would amount of an elevation of leftist politics in a space they've thus far considered their own and the very real risk of them becoming the 2nd tier political discussion forum here thanks to how much traffic CSPAM gets and would get if it wasn't a subforum

in conclusion: lol

We had a couple then someone refused to relinquish (non-existent) power and allow for a new election ie: the thread ran its course and everyone just got bored and stopped. Which is a pity, as I'd built in a Sinister Forums Illuminati faction working behind the scenes to PM whomever the sitting president was with orders to do nonsensical things "Miscapitalize the third proper noun in every sentence you post in the Trump thread, or else!"

LOL the mods are busily trying to triangulate the minimum amount they can offer C-SPAM posters so that there is an absence of tension on the forums.

Rather than recognize that modding is inherently toxic and that moderators should be self-selected by the communities they moderate, SA's moderators have formed their own little clique that views itself as the noble few willing to put up with the terrible task of maintaining these forums. Our moderators don't view themselves as members of this community, they view themselves as its caretakers . They'd rather be overwhelmed (and feeling self-righteous) rather than relinquish their hold on power or concede that this dying community needs to make changes in order to continue.

Can you imagine the unmitigated horror if the mods that are widely disliked by the community they praise over stepped down- and were instead replaced by a system that regularly rotated highly regarded community members in and out of moderating positions!?!

Why it wouldn't be something awful anymore at that point, it just wouldn't.

the circling of the wagons around ppj is weird, just demod him why is this so fuckin difficult

Because, just like with R.Denyovitch, the other mods would rather stand in the circle and chant "one of us" than listen to what the community they have decided to dedicate their time to is telling them.

this may be surprising but there's been a lot of discussion for literal years and i cannot possibly give a gently caress about people pondering when at best it leads to some ~happy medium~ where d&d agrees to respect the sovereignty of the succdentenland for a few months

there is no acceptable result that doesn't end with multiple mods losing their powers and the only people who have a voice where the discussion is happening are either genuinely ignorant or purposeful idiot fuckers who don't know anything except how to be a cuck with a tiny online fiefdom

i will continue to holler that even if guyovich never denied any genocides, his posting and time as a cspam ik were enough to get him run the gently caress off this site and that he was beloved by the d&d mod staff to the point that he got a red loving star is a damning indictment of the entire moderator hiring/promotion system

lol missed where Hickenlooper was going when he was siphoning off campaign funds for private flight time

quote:

Hickenlooper’s campaign did not provide comment for this story. In 2018, Hickenlooper’s office denied the allegations and called the ethics complaint a “political stunt.” In a legal response to the ethics commission that year, Hickenlooper’s lawyer argued that he paid for all the expenses related to the Bilderberg conference and that all other expenses were either gifts from personal friends or related to his role as governor.
