Tiny Timbs posted:Why are the mods/admins obsessed with keeping around posters besides me who suck and are a drag to everyone around them? It sounds like this person should’ve been dumped long before. as someone who was an IK for a bit, it's easy to get tunnel vision when you're trying to make a habit of smoothing things over without pushing buttons. there were a couple thread regulars that frequently butted heads with other posters, and i spent a lot of time sorting out their disagreements or soothing their rage over PMs instead of just putting them in time-out. the constant exposure to them and their problems wound up making me sympathetic to their situations, and as a result i often gave them more patience and understanding than i should've. moderation is a very difficult and thankless job even when you've got the appropriate training. it's not surprising that very human errors like cutting someone way too much slack happens occasionally.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:What do British Thermal Units have to do with the forums? it's the only measure of energy I remembered. The big problem was you had offsite forums full of banned posters trying to brainstorm ways to stir poo poo up in here. It was too much effort to remember biographical details about "shitposter #8 on the internet forum you volunteer to mod", and it seemed increasingly silly to spend time and mental effort on it when I had a life and a family. So when they started Photoshopping pictures of me into weird poo poo, and the vibe around here got weird and hostile even with the regulars, and I realized I had been out of the military as long as I had been in it, I figured yeah the juice is not worth the squeeze

Just instead of immolating himself in support of Gaza or the environment or the persecution of Buddhists, he just wanted to go out in the most All-American way possible. Trump, Vegas, cybertruck, fireworks? All he was missing was Born in the USA on the radio.
