Shakedown in Progress

[Null]

Anything about a pedophile turns into a circlejerk about why pedos are the most evil thing in existence and should be punished.

This is a really big pet peeve of mine. You get people literally making threads like "this guy is a gross pedophile therefore hate him" without any quality or funny or even interesting content at all. It reminds me a lot of Vordrak, actually. The mindless zombie lynch mobs that are totally off-topic to the humor-oriented intent of the site.

I've been reporting more posts lately in "lolcow" when it's one word responses, comments that add nothing, or repeats of comments like "bamboon". I'm glad to know thats what you want and that I'm not just being annoying. My only imput is that positive reenforcement of proper reports might help. Sometimes I'll report something and get a "thanks" alert message, other times nothing. If I don't get a response I feel like what I reported wasn't something I should have bothered anyone with.

I'd like to help out with the "lolcows" subforum in anyway deemed fit.

I feel like making some trophies based on the amount of GOOD reports would help because some posters are very autistic about their cheevos, but I'd be a double-edged sword with people reporting just to get a trophy.

I’ve reported some posts and gotten responses of “don’t report stupid shit”. So you can’t ask people to report all problems if the mods are just going to brush it off.

This.

Certain staff here alternate between constantly berating people to report things more, and ignoring reports and/or actively mocking people for reporting things. And yet they seem genuinely baffled as to why members aren't helping them out with this stuff.

Just silently edit their posts to say they support pedophiles.

If you have this happen, I suggest capping it and sending it to Null. He's not too keen on that.

Wilco. I honestly thought that was part of the culture here.

Unless it is an ADK-tier report, he typically doesn't like mods doing that.

I say ADK-tier because ADK would get banned from threads then report every single post in the thread outlining why he disagrees with a post.

That is dumb shit.

If Amberlynn ever got to the point where it was worth actual moderating I'd nominate @666EVE666 and @C3PBRO .

idk a lot of the time (at least in DSP sub which isn't like anything else here) a lot of the reports are hard to act on (besides stuff like double posting/shitposting/alogging). I usually message the person that made the complaint and say that I've seen it and just explain the situation so its like "I've seen what you reported, however there isn't much I can do about it".

But probably in subs with more posting this would be too time consuming.

Oh man who would have ever thought that a forum founded on the principle of watching a fat re,tard shove things into his anus might periodically suffer from lack of incisive intellectual discussion

 

[wagglyplacebo]

If you ever feel like something is report worthy, report it. Worst that will happen is it will get rejected, I promise. On our end we will work on letting you guys know when your reports have been dealt with. If there is a problem with how we are doing things, make a talk to staff about it. Love you miss you mean it.

Thank you, I really hope this makes some positive changes. My personal pet peeve is fucking reaction .gifs; as if we need to import Twitter's cancer over here. I have reported several of them, but gave up when no action was taken.

Honestly, I cannot keep up with several threads now that I used to enjoy because as the volume of posts has gone up, the quality has gone down. I usually give up after reading a page or two because I'm not having fun. It didn't used to be this way.

This is the sort of shit Lowtax used to pull when he was on a manic phase. Have you recently acquired a mailorder bride and an ambien habit?

except lowtax is spineless and never followed through once someone with a spine set their foot down. if any mods tell me to eat shit on my own site they're gone.

also, kill yourself.

 

[AnOminous]

I think rather than heavy-handed permabans and threadbans for minor infractions, especially from noobs, there should be more use of temporary "lol calm down" bans especially for new users, people who are usually good, and people who haven't caused problems before.

For one thing it will weed out the kind of people who flip the fuck out over minor mod actions early, and for another, a lot of times, the problem in a thread isn't that any one person is fucking it up that much themselves, but that practically everyone just starts shitposting after a thread goes to shit. Like it's contagious or something.

Warning to all of you chipper eager people wanting to rack up hot pockets and tendies by becoming a mod here:

Battle not with spergs lest ye become a sperg and if you gaze into the shitpost the shitpost gazes into you.

 

[vertexwindi]

Couldn't you auto-warn members for one word posts then? Others could reply to that warn with "good" and keep it going too.

 

[Flowers For Sonichu]

Also, instead of offering to be a mod, it is a better idea to nominate someone else to be a mod. Usually people who seek that sort of power just want it so they can swing their girl dick around.

A&H isn't the salt mine. If the point of it isn't to post twitter spergs complaining what else are we supposed to do if not having a response to the news ourselves?

If that's the case they're gonna find themselves very disappointed, being a mod gets you shit on all the time and people who have been here long enough don't give you any more respect. This isn't reddit

 

[GS 281]

Just to let you know, while the offers to supervise are kind, its clogging up the thread. I am removing all those posts.
