About Moderation (old original thread)

Or not having mods at all and letting the community condemn bad behaviour.

Great… then we will just have Marty continually running around telling every to fuck off in every thread.

What about if he just was told to be a little bit nicer?

THE HORROR

lol what the fuck are you talking about here, guy? I made the point that it never even registered with me at the time that Chads was talking about a PM. I wasn’t defending Chads, I was defending myself from laughable charges of hypocrisy from ikes. The defense is actually valid from both ends of it, because not only did I not notice what Chads was doing at the time (so I couldn’t have condemned it), but also because I never claimed that there was some sacred PM right where you send someone an unsolicited PM and then somehow there is some sort of implied blood oath that you can never disclose the contents of that unsolicited PM.

Anyway, if you’re appalled by what Pocket Chads did (telling us that ikes whined to him when PC called him ikes) then I suggest you take it up with Pocket Chads. It has nothing to do with me.

Seems like this would be a good spot to clarify whether or not you think it’s appropriate for mods to disclose PMs. Your tone suggests it’s not a big deal.

So is the point of the subforum to have a tolerant, more respectful style of discourse or is the point to let posters tell each other to fuck off as much they want?

Non captains trying to shift the discussion to PC because they want to ignore the fact that Jmakin abused his power as an admin and is currently roaming this forum unbanned.

Luckily I am here to point out that Jmakin abused his power as an admin and is currently roaming the forum unbanned.

Without me people might forget Jmakin abused his power as an admin and is currently roaming the forum unbanned.

People might even say they were defending the fact Jmakin abused his power as an admin and is currently roaming the forum unbanned.

But we can’t prove that unlike the proof that Jmakin abused his power as an admin and is currently roaming the forum unbanned.

Damn if it’s so hard for wookie to mod maybe he should quit, I know plenty of people wouldn’t mind that either. Seems like a good outcome for his stress filled unpaid job and the forum overall

If you don’t feel safe posting here because of this you should probably leave.

PM sent.

Some of y’all in the CoC has decided that not remembering those posts or realizing it was a PM (lol) is somehow a defense. That’s nonsense. If that’s true (and it’s not but whatever), it didn’t register because y’all didn’t care about attacking the “outgroup”. You’re still hypocrites.

You guys have zero ideas for improving things and are simply here to stir up shit. Many of y’all contribute nothing other than trolling at this point.

No one has defended jmakin.
I dont know why some people are so invested in this becoming the narrative.

No, because that’s not what he was doing before this business started back when the new stricter rules were put in place. That should tell you something about what’s triggering people.

Yes

A non flippant reply with the caveat that I only speak for myself - I think it’s the former with the understanding that if a poster justifiably tells another poster to fuck off that we won’t immediately hit the fainting couches.

Or even unjustifiably if I’m being honest. I can’t imagine anyone whose primary goal isn’t being performatively mad on the internet actually gives a shit.

An incomplete sampling, all of which are from before August of 2020.

Remember when Fidget said he was trolling in the PM and no one defended him in the PM but the narrative was still “yOu DiDnT cOnDeMn It” when talking about the “Captains”

Except Jmakin did something exponentially more terrible and there were crickets from the majority of the forum.

I think Jmakin should be able to post here still, when he said he felt terrible about what he did that was enough for me.

This is suppose to be a community after all.

Seems like isolated incidents to me…. /s

To me, both sides of this whole PM thing seems like disingenuous point scoring. I really don’t give a shit if someone reads or shares my PMs. I stand by all the terrible things I’ve said about all of you. If jmakin reading your PMs didn’t really bother you, or it felt a bit dodgy but you’re playing it up a bit, like Harry Kane trying to draw a foul, to score some kind of point, please stop. If it really did affect you fair enough obviously but otherwise come on.
