One thing that really, really makes any situation instantly seem shady is seeing statements like "If you disagree with my decision feel free to PM me" etc when someone doesn't agree with a mod decision that is made. It absolutely feels like "don't raise a stink in public I'll defend my bad decision later in PM's and then it'll get swept under the rug" regardless of intention when it's posted and I can't be the only one that reads it that way every time. Even the best mod with the purest intentions just loses credibility instantly when that phrase comes out. If people are going to be probated and told to take it to PM's whenever feedback is given especially if it's not trolling or outright insulting a mod why not just rename every feedback thread "Feel free to PM me" and lock it? There have already been a few instances even recently where a mod or IK made a questionable call, came into the thread and apologized for or justified the decision and everyone was not only very cool and receptive but also thanked the mod for being transparent and realizing their mistake and owning it. Admitting you made a mistake doesn't make you look like a weak mod or whatever the reasoning is for the ones that never do. When most of a thread has a problem with a call that is made telling them all to complain about it via PM might as well be saying "Your feedback doesn't matter" because realistically who is going to bother sending an effort PM that will be ignored? Please note that this feedback is directed toward mod decision feedback and not slapfights or people being monsters to each other.

I can't be the only one thinking the PM sender should be named, shamed and permabanned right Edit: This goes back to the whole everything happening behind PM's thing making the entire situation seem more shady than it should, and like someone sending death threats via PM is being defended against people knowing who did it I dunno it just seems very weird every time and right after discussing it suddenly something happens, the thread is closed for days and it's all taken to PMs. Orange Carlisle fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Oct 5, 2020 |

Rarity posted:It wasn't sent through the site If it was someone that posts here and followed you or someone else off site to send death threats gently caress 'em, ban them here anyway. Being more of a coward with your hate and doing it off-site while making it obvious who you are shouldn't make it any more excusable and people have been banned here for far less. If you genuinely don't know who it is, I understand that. But then there's situations where we all knew who it was. To be honest I'm still disappointed with how the Dr. Gonzo situation was handled when everyone knew it was the same person but whoops they've got a new name and avatar now, clean slate. That, to me, was a terrible precedent to set and sent a very clear message that if you pay a few bucks you can wipe clean whatever terrible hateful poo poo you send someone's way.

Rarity posted:It was sent anonymously from a burner email, there's no way to know who sent it It's an important discussion to have. In the case you don't know who it was that's fair - but there have been cases like I posted about above where everyone on the entire subforum knew who it was and what they did, yet they're still posting today. I'm just hoping future decisions cause folks to look back on previous ones.

mfcrocker posted:I know there's frustration about the moderation in here (I've been a critic about not doing enough multiple times in these threads), but coming in trying to dunk on them is gonna achieve gently caress all. My goal is for mods to actually use their buttons and handle repeatedly problem posters, that ain't gonna be best achieved by open warfare Definitely this. Hopefully we can make actual progress without it just being 'say something lovely and get a sixer' time for people already frustrated. Not that I don't understand both sides, but lets meet in the middle and get some real poo poo done. Breaking the cycle of 'we're listening, tell us how to fix it' and 'doesn't matter, nothing is going to change' has to start somewhere and maybe we're well on our way.

I agree with the decision of locking the thread for sure but after the classic meltdown Marching Powder got out of that nutcase it probably should have been goldmined instead of gassed lol Its been a while since we've had a keyboard warrior comeback from a broken brain I think, that's a pretty old school reaction

After an old school meltdown like that a nearly dead thread would probably have to be remade anyway for any hope for actual discussion - it's tough to have anything happen but page after page of dunks and lol's at that point

JUNGLE BOY posted:cavauro posting in a similar fashion to like, most of weird twitter, doesn't make them a gimmick account and they put in real effort to contribute to this forum and i've never once seen them be vicious or bait other posters. This is true and I can't even count how many times Cav has answered a question I've posted with real information Those of you who see Cav as a gimmick poster that's your opinion and you're welcome to it but you're doing Cav a disservice because they contribute often and it's not their problem you don't notice

I've never actually went down through Cav's rap sheet and seen the billion things they've been hit forCavauro posted:
Cavauro posted:David was wrong about his dad dying but doesnt want to walk it back out of embarrassment. one of the worst names in scooping, writing, speaking, and thinking today. Don't sign my posts Cavauro posted:Ric Flair has died. Cavauro posted:what was your favorite graphics card of your whole life? mine was probably the old 8800 GT or the old Ti 4200. The old Radeon 9500, unlocked, was good as well. on that note What was your best memory in all of your past. i remember whenever i got lost in toys R us and kept on crying really hard and thought i wouldnt be able to go back home for the rest of my life, But i did. Cavauro posted:You must've thought you were still right when you posted that. well, pull up a chair because I've got a lot of explaining to do. Cavauro posted:
Cavauro posted:perhaps some empathy is in order, for those who can't stop being upset about nothing. All of us are that person at one time or another. just recently it's been me. i sent a really long PM to Chris James 2 earlier, by accident, and it was full of being madder than a drat hornet. i haven't really calmed down. gently caress you! no. I'm sorry about that Cavauro posted:i don't know Cavauro posted:look at this Cavauro posted:I'm going to fart on your head! Cavauro posted:i believe it's because my grampy died. His name was Cavauro as well Cavauro posted:if I don't vote for the guy who has a 20 point lead on anyone else and is getting people to change their votes to him so that they will win too, then he might not be eliminated! I ripped my loving shirt again. i only have 4 good sh irts. i was told to begin meditating when it starts getting like a earthquake in my head and vision. calm calm calm calmauro. calm calm calm calmauro Cavauro posted:i get the message. circle on back to this post and let's restart the thread from there. Cavauro posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujb-gvqsoi0 Cavauro posted:i know it was the flow of conversation but i would like to do my fellow posters a solid and remind them not to talk about posts on this subforum in here. especially in these sensitive times about naito. it feels weird being IK and i don't want to push anyone to stop enjoying themselves too much considering the dumb ways that i interact with you all, so i'm trying to just be a guiding light rather than a 'force'. Cavauro posted:you can nominate me and i'll nominate you for that extremely embarrassing april fools thing Truly someone the posters here need to be protected from. There were like three legit probations in that entire rap sheet that were just so I didn't include them because they were bad posts. I don't usually give a poo poo about rap sheets including my own but there's obviously a pattern here and it isn't the person accused of trolling.

I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. The moderation here is legitimately good, and at its best this forum can be really fun. For anyone that hasn't read imp zone threads this is a good summary of the feel you are going for
