Being the op of a gassed thread gets you an auto 15 minute probe.

the early admins and coders liked lowtax and 20 years of mods choosing mods and a not very good modding outlook developing made it hard for anyone to out him or remember he existed when he wasn't being terrible

So a couple mods in QCS's "what did mods know and when did they know it" thread mentioned offsite mod discussion, clarified as Discord. I think the general line has been that mods mostly keep stuff on-site, so I'm curious as to what it means.

Just sending over info on mod stuff, gonna ask more questions once my dumb 6 min QCS timer ends.

much like how tut-tutting woke libs actually dont want to upset the status quo and infact love it, they're comfortable and have comfy positions that they don't really want to give up but want to pretend like they're good moral people as they work for Big Advertising/Plantir/jpmorgan/google/facebook/apple/etc so they change their profile to a black square or buy rainbow-pride goods. the mods are the same way and didnt want to rock the boat and upset their own position of power over people by risking doing anything against the status quo. I actually dont think regular goons should feel bad about buying AVs or whatever in the past: people like to cling onto their community and people they know and very easy to subconsciously rationalize some bad poo poo away or pretend its not a big deal, esp if other 'leaders' are not worrying.

and also he owns the site and was pretty much absentee for 95% of it. out of sight, out of mind. the ashli stuff should have been a big wakeup call really but that was mostly suppressed and people wanted to believe the suppression because it's like, where would most of them go?

The history of the forums is that the only things that get a mod actually removed are a beaten or hosed kid and there is no reason to expect that will ever change. Lowtax was a problem but he was not The problem.

He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

I mean good mods tend to step down when they think they hosed up or won't support bad mods (see op). It's the bad ones than never leave willingly.

I'm really curious about this mod discord, if it wasn't a general invite to all mods or only some mods were on there I don't think speaks well of how moderation happens.

It was open to all mods, although not all mods joined. As a general rule, the mods of the most active forums joined, while the mods of the very small or niche forums did not.

So if you were planning to throw a riot in Goon Doctor, yeah he doesn't know poo poo nor does he care.
