Thanks…
I’m misremembering the attackung part as that was how I viewed it at the time, as being a combative post, in which we discussed & I took that part out as I have now remembered.
And we resolved the posts between us wrt the Combating nature in which we moved forward.
But did not resolve the initial point wrt who was to blame… The offending posts are on the older site I believe.
I didn’t have a bone in this whole argument and on occasions tried to intervein as a Mod at the time wrt both Jman & Jalfrazi by asking both to calm it down a notch with some Sarcastic posts to them both to be adults as it had developed into such a pile of garbage.
Once Cuse entered I was basically done, as I seen the pile on to Jalfrazi & fidgetUK and was not gave the respect imo as a Mod when posters continued to post wrt this whole debacle.
After all this stupid fight has been going on since we moved on the 1st few days.
I tried, I failed to resolve it, I stepped down.
That’s me out.

Who hasn’t been modded that should have been? I think the permanent mods stepping down would possibly help with rotating mods, but I’m hardly sure of that. The underlying problem is that hardly anyone is willing to mod. The fact that this site really isn’t community run is mainly due to the community apparently not wanting to run it.

Poopypants did the clustering based on likes alone and posted the results in the fun poster data thread. The groups were lefties, non-pol posters, and everyone else, as best as I can tell. I’m not sure if this will work, but here’s a link to the post:

Not to mention would you really want some of us moding? The odds of me getting drunk and causing more trouble than I was worth is like 98%.

Yeah, rotating mods seems like a bad idea when we have people like Ins0 lying in the wings.

That’s what everyone seems to say, but I really don’t think that would be a problem, and it’s really not that big of a deal.

And my post really gets to an important point. The mods are doing well I didn’t even know who was mods until the recent drama. Activist mods are not what we want either.
That inso would be a problem is not a reason for opposing rotating mods. No one who most people would oppose is going to be a mod. But that describes hardly anyone here.

Why don’t we just put all the regs into a list and random.org for some rotating ones and have the permanent ones get to take breaks. Maybe 2 rotating random ones with 3 permanent ones that rotate amongst that group. I had a law professor that used to call on us using random.org on the screen in the front of the class. When your name popped up it felt like a lightening strike.
Random mods would be great and the very first thing I tried and failed to do on exiled was determine who we all counted as community members/owners. The point of it all was supposed to be that this is community property and no one at all had a superior position.
For a while I’ve thought that ship has sailed, but I’ll hop back on if there is ever a glimmer of hope.
Would you like a system where we had rotating groups of permanent and guest mods? 3 permanent mods randomly chosen every 3 months from the current pool and 2 guest mods chosen at the same time from TL3 forum members both selected live on random.org hunger games style?

What about using TL3 to determine who is eligible for being a mod? You have to have a certain level of engagement and good behavior to gain that status.
Your pony was killed by tl3 members.
lol, isn’t WN TL3?
What do you mean?
No, he’s down to TL2 due to a lack of activity.
Is TL3 the highest level?
I assume default thresholds have not been changed.
If random.org lands on some people, a couple posters will be busting out the red string and tinfoil hats in full force.
