To be fair, if you truly believe there's a TRANS GENOCIDE and shit like that and you're part of the genocided audience, you need to "storm the fucking capital and hang this piece of shit". I mean, you wouldn't get anywhere near to him, but you need to try! These people believe they are dying left and right and they don't defend themselves.

Okay that's a knee slapper.
The world's most advanced racists couldn't conceive of a more impotent, useless, self-defeating, anti-black, black, self-styled revolutionary as Nep. The amount of effort backwards justifying everything she does (and more importantly doesn't do), the constant whining and complaining with neither action nor even a plan for anything better, constantly confusing being verbose with being intellectual, scamming other furries, performative angry black man rage in the form of a 4'10" obese volunteer Internet janitor, upper middle class upbringing but posing as the spokesperson of all black people (but especially the hood blacks) on the Internet... it doesn't end.
Even the Boondocks couldn't write this.

"Professional Protesters" might legit be a new gig economy. BLM was legit fraud lmfaooo, the org took the money, sprinkled some crumbs at faggots and prostitutes to twerk and chimp out in front of cops then dipped. 😂

No what vocabulary she uses or how many ((certified)) girlboss queer buzzwords she drops, Nep's posts always ooze insecurity. It's almost uncanny.

Just curious, are you looking for more mods because of an uptick in reports lately?

It's less that and more we do need some extra coverage in certain areas and it is kinda hard to recruit sometimes given how a lot of the userbase tends to treat staff members. I'll go and talk to half a dozen to a dozen people and get maybe 1 or 2 maybes and most of the no's I get are a result of people not wanting to get attacked by the community in some way (among other issues, like availability).

It's not a recent thing either, it's generally always been this way.

One thing I can tell you is this: what usually happens is when a mod from a specific community joins up is they're either summarily kicked out of said community or allowed to remain until they disagree with the bulk of the community and are then kicked out. It happened to me when I was a just a mod back in like 2018/2019 and there are a lot of other staff members who have similar stories. There used to be members we had to warn new mods about because they had a history of taking a run at anyone new from their communities. We've had groups of members with vendettas against certain mods that caused us no end of trouble. I have got some incredibly wild stories and most of you don't even know the half of it. Keep in mind, none of this is a new development either. A lot of it goes back to literally the birth of the forum. If anything, it's a little better these days, but people have long memories and tend to not want to deal with the nonsense.

Also curious if people who have been banned before are up for consideration. I think their perspective would be valuable.

And no I'm not asking for myself lol.

It depends on what they were banned for and how many times they were banned. If you have any bigotry bans, you're probably out of the running unless you were that one guy who sent in literally the best ticket any of us had ever seen in our lives. Beyond that, we're obviously not going to accept any huge console warriors or people with over 15 warnings/bans. It would just feel silly to make a member who was constantly breaking the most basic rules a moderator, you know?

As a note, we do have people on staff who have been banned before.

If anyone is on the fence and wants to learn more about joining moderation I'll try to be around and answer some questions here or we can have a chat via PM if you prefer some privacy.

I clicked on the link then clicked away after wondering if I would even have the time to do what mods here do.
It seems to be an immense timesink. How do you guys manage time and the reports that are needed to be checked?

Look, it is true there is an immense amount of work. Trying to keep the queues at 0 has been nonsense for many years now. However we don't expect moderators to put in any more time than they want to. Like house chores, it is never ending and that is ok. If you can comment on one or two reports per month, that is still contributing. If you just browse and fix title spelling mistakes, move threads from one section into the correct section and simple stuff, that is still contributing. If you happen onto a report that you think requires more urgent attention and bring it to admin attention this is already immensely helpful.

The forum is almost always online. New posts are always happening. We chip away at it, together. Sometimes just discussing the issue helps push it along.

For new moderators, I'm not going to gatekeep on what you want to be doing. I have suggestions though. Stick with the familiar stuff and don't over commit. I'd rather you're helping now and more than you feeling overwhelmed for trying to get a handle on this quickly in all areas. Asking questions can also help a lot as it can refresh our memory on things. There is rarely a perfect solution when moderating but we try our best and put in the effort we can/want. Your life outside of Era should always be your priority.

As for how I personally manage my time and priorities. It depends on what I'm in the mind set for. If I'm up for working then I'll check alerts (we have tags, eg if I need admin to help with an report that I can't handle I can alert them to the report) and then skim the queues for reports in threads that I think I'll be most useful. Once I get into a report then I just comment or process it as usual. That is my general process and the two exceptions are when I'm working on tickets and when I'm responding to this thread. Oh we also sometimes meetings around once per month. I'm literally almost never there for them and only offer my piece after due to timezones. Those type of engagements are just whenever I have time and am capable.

The interesting part for me is the complete lack of understanding on bdubs' part why people ostracize his goons so badly when it's clear and statistically evident that there is no way where engaging with conversation with one of the prison guards will lead to a positive outcome.
