It's Happening.

I'm looking for 2 moderators for the Autism Thunderdome category. This includes Deep Thoughts, Articles & Happenings, and the Happenings board. I usually never do tryouts and deputize people at random but I don't even know who posts here at this point.

You may nominate yourself but special considerations to third party nominations.

Perks of being a mod:
- You can be the change you want to see in the community.
- Cool badge thing on your profile.
- Users cannot ignore you.*

Burdens of being a mod:
- Users will hate you and openly resent you regardless of what you do or do not do.
- Users will not report posts and then become upset that you do not delete posts that they think cause low quality threads.
- Articles & Happenings is literally unmoderatable and is basically the comments section on Infowars.
- You will not be compensated in any way.†
- You will burn out in 6 months and simply vanish.‡

* This was a common complaint with Zed and OwO.
† You do it for free.
‡ This has happened to every A&H mod without exception.

In general we need a light touch who is not emotionally invested in "their team" to issue threadbans to keep threads on track, board bans to keep the signal to noise ratio down, and who can FEARLESSLY communicate concerns directly to me.

Use Agree/Disagree on posts nominating people so I can get a feel for things.

Hire me, I'll ban everyone and call people niggers.

I'd be willing to try. Spend most of my time in articles & news, deep thoughts, and happenings.

Not as well established as some of the more power users, but I do regularly check the fourms on a daily basis. Know the culture of each board. I would generally be neutral and would allow discussion as long as it doesn't get into spam/derailing territory. Can handle banter.

Though as you say, God help whoever does get it.

I'm kind of wondering, maybe I overlooked it, but why exatly does A&H burn through mods so fast and often?

I know the users can be insufferable, but what part is the issue? Too much offtopic?
 
I'd nominate myself, but I think I'd have a featherweight touch at best, mainly because I don't even know what's reportable on this site.

Probably the politics, and literally moderating all the bad takes on bad news from bad outlets that comes across the board. It's probably tiring.

I nominate myself and @Flexo.

You probably don't like me and would like to see me suffer, and I would like to see Flexo suffer.

I'm both British and Libertarian, so I enjoy misery and being a janny there couldn't make A&N hate me any more than they (and you) already do. I'm a regular reader of A&N but I don't post very often, so at least I'm not in any of the cliques or whatever.

I think Deep Thoughts could be a genuinely good subforum with the right moderation. A&N&H, of course, are beyond salvaging, but at least I could call them niggers and try to keep the fedposting somewhat under control.

The sheeer volume of comments and autism deep thoughts and happenings have håndfull of threads that are active daily but a and h have two pages full threads honestly null should put two or more jannies there and limit posting for user accounts that are at least month old . Often i stumble on few newbie accounts starting purposely shit to steer conversation away from the subject is common paid troll tactics also banning Hollywood hulk hogan and giving him his own thread would help greatly . Ah yes and banning half of the users could help but who knows
