yeah i can't imagine why mods don't want to have a conversation with the mob that thinks they're all crypto-nazis

they didn't want to have the conversation before people got all mad at them for the FYAD nazi situation either

but do go on about how we're all unreasonable children. that'll surely make the conversation better

Just wanted to point out, the mods had enough time to probate people for "re-opening gassed threads", talk about how great PPJ is as a person and all the nazi hunting and suicide saving acts he's done, change the title of CSPAM, tell us about a big announcement post that is coming soon, and making other announcements about various other stuff...



but can't find the time to address any of the issues people have raised or have a dialogue about why things have gone the way they have.

Maybe instead of a Big Response To Address Everything (and I'm being sincere here, I believe it's a genuine attempt, I do, I think this is at root an honest difference in perceptions, not some Grand Campaign To Keep CPAM Down), people from the moderation side of the fence with the ability to say more than "sorry, it's out of my hands" could come here and actually speak with us, for an extended time, like we're actual fellow human adults who just happen to disagree about some things. Listen as well as talk. As people have occasionally been known to do.

Admittedly that probably would have been easier before everyone's tempers got turned up to like 3,768, and before wagons got circled and before The Eleventh Shitposting Light Infantry turned up but that was also entirely avoidable, so.

if the last couple weeks have shown anything, it's that no one will actually be happy with this unless it results in the admins saying "you're right, sorry, we were wrong about everything"

plenty of IKs, mods, and even the occasional admin or two have come into threads like this over the last couple of weeks to give their thoughts and justifications and positions. yet the threads are still happening. so clearly this isn't really a lack of communication, so much as it is people not being satisfied with the answers they get and refusing to accept the arguments given for those answers

Nobody thinks PPJ is a nazi. He either is friends with nazis (bad) or he has obviously done an extraordinarily bad job at being nazi hunter as evidenced by the events of the past month

all anyone is doing is making fun of the assertion that PPJ is some brave nazi tracker; and the audacity of the people making that assertion as if we are as stupid and credulous as places like DnD

Every thread needs an own admin and own moderator this 18+ forum simply can no longer survive without a babysitter on every corner. We must make a task force of the most elite posters around the clock ensuring I don’t wanna read anything on the entire forum I don’t wanna. Anything less is crypto facist!!!!

Let's say we believe that PPJ moonlights as a double agent sabotaging the Reich from within. That's legitimately cool... but that doesn't have much to do with being a moderator. PPJ may be a perfectly swell guy that I'd love to throw back a beer with, but that's also not the question at hand.

Yeah, the weird thing is that there's this implication that they deserve to be mod and it's somehow wronging them to take away that authority. That isn't how that sort of thing is supposed to work.

weird how people were set off by having the jubilant thread where everyone was mostly happy erased with no warning just because they mocked a bad mod and a hilariously weird defense of his contributions to ~the community~ that he actively lets down at every turn

i think the correct answer is that the admins do not believe PPJ has done anything deserving of removing moderating powers other than telling him to ignore CSPAM. somewhat similar to when FAU didn't remove my IK buttons after the perma incident and instead sent a reprimand via PM. and then i lost the buttons a month later anyway for unknown reasons

Let's assume this is correct and PPJ is innocent and we're all just being hysterical. Why can't C-SPAM simply be made a top-level forum? That solves the problem just as easily from a mechanical standpoint. What's the specific reason?
