I think microbet is sincere about thinking rotating mods is a good idea that is consistent with his political views. I oppose forcing mods to rotate partly because I think it is consistent with my belief that term limits are a dumb idea in America politics.
Thank you. And I think everyone who has paid attention does, including jman. Heās just lying.
Wait! You think term limits are a bad idea?
I suggest you jump over here and explain this one!
All right, without addressing the rest of the discussion, to the point of the OP, I already just do this? I mean, sometimes Iām wrong, or sometimes Iām not wrong but the thing isnāt actionable in a way I thought it might be.
I dunno how some of yāall put so much energy into fighting over the moderation here. But maybe thatās just after years of butting my head against a wall at 2p2 trying to change the culture and then just realizing Iād be better off finding somewhere I fit in better.

Yeah, I mean all my suggestion is, is that this practice be a community standard rule. Iām not even proposing that there be a penalty for not following this rule (despite what microbet would have your believe my motives are), but rather that we have a standard that people try to alert a moderator of their grievance before they move straight to trying to start forum wars v 97.
You donāt ignore me. You whine about me constantly.

I mean weāre literally just moving the forum drama to this thread becuase the about moderation one was put in slow mode? How about limiting this thread to actually discussing the RFC. As of right now, it appears to have a very very slight majority in favor.
Start a KFC to make it happen man.

If all you are doing is suggesting a method or approach to alerting mods, with no penalty for not following your preferred method, then why even start this thread and have an RFC? Why not just say: hey guys, maybe try this next time. And then people can either choose to follow your advice or not.

Because having it be a rule increases the social pressure for people to follow it. As posted upthread, you can still get called out for not following the rule.
Looks like roughly half the voters donāt like your method or rule. So, can we lock the thread and move on, since even if instituted you donāt want it to be enforceable. And how can social pressure be legitimate if half the people disagree with the pressure that is being applied. Like what more is there to discuss?

Because a vote against a rule doesnāt mean that you will refuse to respect the majority of the community and follow that rule?
You need 2/3rds to make a ruleā¦
This is not a binding poll on rule creation, this is an RFC thread.
Youāve got this whole thing backwards. Posting in the About Moderation thread is not necessarily a complaint. This is a community modded site. Community discussion should be encouraged.

The RFC deals specifically with complaints about moderation, not necessarily general posts suggesting an action.
Okā¦I guess itās just a coincidence that you are starting this RFC today? I thought it was in response to my post this morning. If itās not in response to anything recent in particular it seems even less necessary, imo.

I htink I was more general when I started this but have become ocnvinced the rule can be more narrowly applied.

Lol, accuses me of lying, claims heās ignoring the thread. Appears to be lying about ignoring the thread.
Sure, but thereās a big difference between ācommunity discussionā and Marty/Jal/Fidget crew that complain about every single decision.
