About Moderation (old original thread)

Wookie is the Hillary Rodham Clinton of this forum.

Agreed unironically

[Jalfrezi]

He was clearly deemed by 2/3 of the forum to be enough of a problem to be de-modded AND then fail in his quest to regain what he probably regards as his rightful mod status.

Sorry you lost your favourite judge but it’s probably time to get over it.

@j8i3h289dn3x7

In 40 years from now when our children are shitposting about the Barron Trump Administration, posters will still complain about Wookie’s moderation

Lol.

I miss wookie’s double blind taste test liquor reviews, how the mighty have fallen

Please feel free to debate/discuss current moderation issues, but let’s not re-re-re-re-litigate past moderators and issues.

Serious question, why can’t people just talk about whatever they want to talk about?

[Jalfrezi]

That’s not how we do things around here. It’s my way or the highway.

Sounds like you’d like a mod-free forum where you’re free to talk about anything you want. Oh well.

Bringing this post here to extract it from the Ukrapto thread since it’s more of a meta discussion, but it does sometimes seem impossible to lower the temperature. Like the bad blood has simmered too long and there’s no going back.

[Trolly]

We’ve tried that. It didn’t work.

It’s really unfortunate.

A lot of good posters have left or post much less frequently because of this.

It seems to me like the Ukraine threads are a proxy war for the old teams/powers

Yea so just let it all out innit. Trying to moderate it out of existence has clearly failed.

One of the first things we did when we moved to Exiled was celebrate finally being able to talk shit on David, Mat, Mason, etc without fear of retribution.

[CaffeineNeeded]

It has not failed. It’s been so much better. The usual suspects have come back for some reason from their modless utopia to stir up shit again.

[jmakin]

there’s been very little squabbling for months now. Wonder what changed.

people used to make claims at the site dying back when I still had access to that data, it was never true, I really doubt it is now.

But David, Mat, Mason, et al were not there.

Who is it that you can’t talk shit about without retribution here?

[alex]

There’s less squabbling because there’s a lot less content and people lol

[anon38180840]

Is there actually less on topic posting, or has the signal to noise ratio just improved?

Yeah this. We went literally months without any issues. Then the Captains clearly got bored with their own forum and all coincidentally decided to come back at the same time.
