I thought you wanted to step down as mod? How long do you want to be mod for?

Trolling obv
This is the perfect opportunity to stir shit up for trolls. I mean itās damn near leading to the destruction of the forum. If I was a troll, Iād be celebrating if my handiwork led to a community falling apart.
in-so aināt posting but he and luck-box are loving this shit
I think weāll survive with a couple different people splitting out derails and the less than one ban a month we average.

Why on earth do you think youāre a hero whoās discovered some sinister conspiracy of the moderators to have to put up with the complaints of internet toddlers from now to eternity? We were installed by community vote to indefinite terms. Itās always been that.

gtfo with this. More than one person in this thread had the same impression that mods jobs should be temporary.
If you donāt think having term limits on mods is a good idea, then make your argument. In the meanwhile Iāll make mine.
We didnāt decide it was temporary but we also didnāt decide that it would be a lifetime appointment.

ROFL. That you have a hate boner for it is not the same this being widely acknowledged.
Iām kinda shocked that mods donāt actively want to be relieved of their position when new respected volunteers step up (especially after significant time in the position).
This is truly fascinating human psychology to me

Lol you at blathering on about what has and has not been acknowledged
Iāve literally no interest in the shit slinging but Keeed and PocketChads would both be good mods imo.
Reckon they should be given a go.

As someone who was a mod in SE on 22 for years, I never want that job on any Internet forum again. Itās so much more fun just being a regular poster. Anyone who wants to volunteer their time to do the job and isnāt taking it on as a way to exert power over the forum will probably do a good job.
To all of UP

I seem to have a very different take on which side is trying to solve things and who is just arguing itt. Which sucks for me, as you are literally the only person in this forum who likes my humor.

Alright, there is only one solution.
Everyone scan their passports. We vote then flay 3 Americans and 3 Euros alive, and let the vultures devour their corpses.
Ban everybody from the UK and lock the UK politics thread.
Problem solved!
Now onto what actually matters!

Funny how they have yet to do so.
I disagree. What actually happened is somebody bumped the thread and re-started an argument that was already decided, and made some pokes at the people who voted in favor of the C-word. Pretty early on, both Jal and d2 said to lock the thread as it was a settled matter.
Rather than the thread being locked, the arguments continued about a previously settled matter, with wookie getting involved and giving as good as he got over many posts.
Then Sky came in and admonished only Jal and team (for lack of a better description) for continuing the arguments and not letting things go. (Even though before it had really flared up they both asked for the thread to be locked.) And itās not like they were, you know, arguing with themselves. And in fact, since the matter was already settled by vote in their favor why are they catching any more heat than wookie and the others involved with it arguing their case again rather than locking it up?
And this right here is what I was talking about when I said Sky threatened to ban users for doing something that was previously voted on as acceptable.
Looks straightforward to me. She threatened to ban users for something voted and settled on.
And then from here we have a week of escalation with only one side getting admonished, moderated, and temp banned.
