Thanks for explaining it to him
Semi grunch
There are a handful of competing options. Seems like ranked choice voting would work. Need some agreeement on drafting the options.
Itâs a small sample size and that could just be because weâve had a run of good mods. Did cuse ever run a poll asking whether he should be de-modded? I certainly didnât because I never objected to him being a mod. I donât know if anyone else did.
For exactly the reasons Jbro had pointed out in the days before he walked and several others have stated today after clovis opened the ban wookie thread, it would take a remarkable set of circumstances for a mod to be voted off the island and it has very little to do with how good they are in the job. It will never happen and thatâs not good on a community run board imo

Do you really not understand how when one poster attacks you, and you turn that into a generalization of all âliberalsâ being such and such, that thatâs not a âslight responseâ and itâs simply escalating a conflagration? Iâm not excusing clovis here at all, his tone is dismissive and could probably be described as âdickishâ but I wouldnât call it over the top or out of line in this specific instance. Iâm just saying one possible wrong doesnât justify any response you can come up with and certainly donât require you to pivot to an attack on an even broader group of people than the person you are mad at.
Victor, to have accused multiple people of toxicity/gaslighting but have made those recent postsâŚ
Take a break dude.
Letâs keep the fighting out of this thread for awhile since we seem to be on the verge of something.
As Mervin Muffley said, âYou canât fight in here. This is the War Room.â

They are both far too long. Anyone and everyone can and should get an opportunity to moderate a community moderated site

Will never happen that someone gets less than 67% approval? Even with 20% or whatever of you being anti all incumbents?
And even if so, so what? Make your case in the vote/discussion on term limits and if you lose then move on with life.
Right. It should be viewed as an obligation, not a privilege. The more itâs viewed as something to fight over, the more itâs going to be fought over. Youâre making them kings when they should be petty functionaries.

Exactly. Itâs a gross carryover from 22 and itâs really unfortunate.

You got it buddy. The 90% who voted against you today are all just too stupid to understand what really happened. None of us read any of the posts. Itâs all a conspiracy to protect wookie.
Exactly. Mods are not gods. Mods are janitors (with no disrespect to janitors intended).

This whole thing is getting exhausting. I have kept up with the threads until now but I am running out of juice and am tempted to just peace out of the debate. I hope some resolution can be made soon.

That is a fine opinion and I might be convinced of it, letâs have a vote on it. Its time for the people arguing for a diffusal of power to start acting like fucking adults⌠and say yes I will accept the results of a democractically decided election so that the rest of us can trust you to act responsibly.
wow that is impressive. I lost steam about 3 hours ago. People canât keep this up forever though, exhaustion will set in everywhere.

I will consider not objecting to term limits if the combination of term length and number of terms means that any current mod can serve in that role for at least two more years.
Meta and process are kind of my jam, so I think I can keep this up pretty long.

I think the only people who view the moderators as kings are those who are frequently moderated, which is such a tiny minority.
