New Moderator Confirmation Votes: goofyballer and marty

We are all clear on how to use the RFC process to impeach a bad mod, right?

Fidget and King of NY came in firing about how flawed this brand new system is, at the very least. If you’re shocked by the quality of the nominees, it seems to be to be a pretty likely outcome based on how the system was drawn up. It would be inevitable that a member of one faction would eventually be nominated, and it’s hardly a surprise that someone from the other would jump in to counter.

Not exactly, but if it comes to that, anything left of “the community” is dead.

You’re offended that I characterize this, a call for a radical new modding system

as talking about a flaw in the new one? OK, buddy. Generally I don’t suggest overhauling things I don’t think are flawed.

I’m not sure I would consider fidget as “the people who were eager to implement the new system”. I mean, to me it looks like one guy shared an idea?

But again, just in case you aren’t successful in begging the mods to ban me, what did I find out when I “fucked around and found out”? Sounds bad!

How about no mods then?

Is this a mental health attack? I’m pretty sure that was a perma ban last time this came up.

No mods sounds like no mask mandates.

Vote for Canada!

Um so since its been a half hour its ok for a poster to tell another poster “to go fuck yourself” and then 15 minutes later edit it out and then not get a temp ban? Weird way to run this place. @moderators

Also since I’m apparently on the captains shitlist now just fyi I have no interest in responding to your bad faith sealioning BS so you don’t have to waste your time on it.

Please take this to about moderation. You are ruining this thread with your vendetta against Keed

Yeah these polls are a sad indictment of this place.

Nobody cares about moderation, everyone just wants the site to suffer and become garbage.

We make up all these rules to rotate mods in because that what people say they want and then won’t approve anyone to be a mod who isn’t part of their bloodline. It’s dumb.

People should vote against mod candidates who have a serious flaw / transgression that makes them incompatible. Not that they are on the other team.

Dunno man, you called me insane and said I don’t have the right to express my opinion. I shouldn’t have told you to go fuck yourself but it’s understandable in response to that imo. You’re not on anyone’s shitlist, but you picked this fight with me out of the blue. I’ve always liked you and never had any conflicts with you as far as I recall.

But if you’re going to smear me and dismiss my opinions as bad faith without actually engaging with me then that’s pretty shitty and we’re probably not going to get along going forward. Again, which is a shame because I always thought we got along fine? Whatever.

I dont think thats the case for many no/no voters.

There are a ton of uncontroversial folks who would get 90% of the vote no matter which “team” they are on.

What would make you think in two months someone sane would want to be a moderator here?

Running out of mods has always been an issue with forced rotation and if we are going to not vote any new mods we are going to crash into that almost immediately.

How do I volunteer to be a mod again? I couldn’t find the thread with a quick search. I guess I’m insane enough to do it. Pretty sure I haven’t pissed anyone off in my time here.

Who do you think will volunteer in two months who wouldn’t now? Especially after a double no vote for the only two people who stepped forward.

They can apply again in two months and be guaranteed to get in because there is no choice? Water weed dune hair.

Give it time and I believe it will work. The problem was the only people who volunteered this time were polarizing. Someone like @tilted volunteering is a good sign for the future.

If the forum is at a point where no poster can get 2/3 approval, then the forum is dead anyway. This is all part of the process, and one volunteer was on their way to being approved until discussion, including one current mod, said that it would likely be better to not add anyone at this time and wait until next time.
