Seth Rollins Drew McEntyre has been on the receiving end of some of the most useless, inexplicable probations I've ever seen. Probations where literally something as simple as a "hey cut that out" would have more than sufficed. Probations where he literally did nothing even vaguely wrong. The idea of wanting punishments towards him to be harsher is genuinely psychotic to me, respectfully.

EDIT: you 110% could sub in Cavauro as well. Both scream of punishing the square pegs for not fitting into round, white noise holes

Chasing off RGL was maybe one of the worst non-mortal sins a mod has ever committed. It set the tone for years to come.

I also think the tiered punishment rule is ridiculous and is a way to remove context and actual human judgement from moderating. It is "clown shoes".

There are a sizable number of posters who absolutely agree with that post, some of whom have posted in this very thread :birdthunk:

Low Effort post at your own risk. We like to encourage people to make some effort. Users regularly make incredibly clever, funny or well-thought out posts/edits/discussion points etc, and there's nothing quite as annoying as seeing somebody fart out a tired vinceflex.jpg or a single syllable misspelled non-capitalized reply in the middle of that like they're expecting a standing ovation.

i don't like how you warn & silence people for being funny because they are snarky or too curt and then do the shrug emote about Sensible jokes being copy/pasted. I understand this won't change and people say gently caress off about it. Thank you

It was no-context, off-topic shitpost that had no reason to be made in that thread. This seems like a weird hill to die on.

When people talk about not having concerns taken seriously, the bolded part is why. The first sentence is all you need to explain your actions and would have been enough. The second one dismisses their concern as trivial and needless and does nothing but cause friction.

Yes. I feel like this is an environment where i cannot share my feedback and be actually heard, in this, the feedback thread

I don't think people should be probated for jokes, I just think people should strive for better. I'm pretty consistent in my "stop unnecessary probations" philosophy

I did not mean to start an all day discourse on the morality of off topic posts in GDTs, I just wanted to use an example from a friend of a post I felt was unfairly punished. Obviously others strongly, passionately disagree. Good night.

I'm in contact with Cav on a near daily basis and I can honestly say they're among the most genuine human beings I've ever encountered. He has a fun, harmless way of writing on the Comedy Website Forum. The fact that he's written off by the leader of this community as a gimmick poster because he doesn't compose his posts in MLA format actually pisses me off. What a joke.

I got no standing here and even as a new poster I like Cav's posts, but "it's OK to be a dick as long as you're a well-loved member of the forum and you edit in an apology soon after" is not terribly great. It is in fact possible to be a genuine, kind, weird person and not do that.

On the other hand I'm not sure probation is gonna change much. Moderating isn't fun.

It's a good thing he wasn't being a dick then!

I save probes for egregious stuff but like 95% of my probes given out are for comedy or bets, and I let the others in the thread either stamp out bad discussions, or if the majority of the thread are participating in something that doesn't actively break rules then let them have the fun. Eg. dunking on Brandon Schaub.

Sometimes offtopic discussions can be good and fun. It's how we got the saga of oildome.

This is literally all I want from a moderator, this is the philosophy to have.

It came up in the thread, but this probation was not good.

If you want the discussion to stop, say so and if you're gonna throw out probes for carrying it on afterwards do it for people defending the rating as well as the people annoyed at it.

Please, I don't know how many times we need to go through the loop of "put more effort into your moderating" before it sticks but let's try again - not writing anything in the thread asking people to move on is bad, making the probation reason a one-worder is bad, only probating the people raising the complaint is bad if there are others keeping the conversation going when you want it stopped.
