RFC: Remove Riverman as a mod

What do you believe your job is? If you feel the need to emphasize the unpaid part, why do you feel the need to fight to maintain your power?

i’ve never used the word!!

otherwise you are totally spot on. do you have any other content on how ukraine could have appeased putin before the invasion? youtube links help if you have them

Emphasizing unpaid is such a laughable tactic too. Guys, this role that I volunteered for and desperately feel I need to keep is unpaid. Therefore, I am infallible.

I’m sure RM himself would be able to accept a ban without throwing a hissyfit. :roll_eyes:

What’s even crazier is meb’s solution he proposed is having more mods.

Running out of mods has always been the reality here, just a matter of when.

Especially when everyone who is punished by a mod launches a direct or indirect vendetta against them.

It is always the mods fault, never the perpetrator.

I prefer people not constantly harass the mods, who are volunteers and who will either stop volunteering or be left with a couple of people as the only ones who will do this.

You are going HAM on riverman because he banned johnnyA for four days. That is crazy.

I didn’t even remember riverman was a mod until I saw this thread. I have no idea who the other mods even are.

But that is me mr. Oblivious.

I’m going ham on riverman because he’s obviously on a power trip and doesn’t have the best interests of the community in mind. The fact that people want to come in here and keep reducing this to lol you mad about a ban is weird. That ban was egregiously bad, and the worst I’ve ever seen on this forum, but even that alone wouldn’t have resulted in me taking this action.

I just have zero interest in dealing with four more months of us all having to suck up to a mediocre white man on a power trip.

The people you are arguing against the most, are actually the ones who like Johnny the most and have spoken out against his ban. But, this is all very silly and getting 10x more riled up than he is doesn’t make sense.

major school board karen vibes from this motivation.

old forum had a big “power going to the mod’s head” problem. i don’t think this one does yet. the terms and election polls help, i guess.

Again, RM is the median 2p2 politics and now UP poster*. If you disagree then who the fuck is? SenorKeed? lmao.

If you don’t like normal average RM posts this board and maybe even this political ideology is probably not for you. Go change your oil.

*minus his crypto hate or more specifically his desire to continue to post in a thread about something he hates and regularly gets dunked on which is weird.

That we have made an echo chamber is fairly true and… I don’t see anything wrong with it? There are infinity echo chambers for right wing ghouls, white nationalists, shitlibs… I don’t see why we, as humans with preferences, need to act like every view on topic X is equally valid and worthy of air. It’s not. It’s inviting trolling and dipshittery for the unemployed, underemployed, and people without sufficient workplace internet monitoring and fighting that is pointless and a waste of time for everyone.

To that end, having too quick of a banning policy is far superior than letting the quick bens of the world jerk off all over threads. And he’s a “good” one! Lot more bahbahs than QBs.

As far as JonnyA goes, that’s bad, RM is a little bitch about that, and the other mods should unban Jonny and shame RM for being a little bitch. And we move on. This isn’t hard.

Good lord meb. What has happened to you? Tossing out “mediocre white man” as an insult? I really don’t understand this crusade.

Seems unnecessary

If you never enter the NFT / crypto thread, the level of animosity between them may seem strange.

This post was hidden, but turns out I can confirm this information is true that Riverman did skip out on money owed on 2+2 and created a new account to avoid it. He did eventually pay up, but I still found this information and it’s censoring on this site to be interesting. Especially funny that Ikes was one of the people to call him out for it on 2+2.

BO, DoB, miss you man. Didn’t even realize you made it over here.

Seems a pretty big difference between calling it out in the moment vs 10 years after the fact, especially if it did get paid.

We’re in vendetta territory here, chill out. Try to ignore their posts, they are clearly upsetting you more than they should.

This is definitely a 2p2 post not a UP post. Perhaps the main charter ideal of this forum to distinguish it from the past was the mods being responsive and reflective towards the community.
