I know it's not been the whole 6 months we discussed last time, but it is indeed time to talk about the RULES.
As you all know, we have a place for meta talk about the rules and the mods, /v/pizzagatemods. It's not overly public, and it's not the most elegant solution to cluttering the front page here, but that's what we have.
This sticky is here because the usual monthly concern-trolling, and @Millenium_Falcon attacking by @ESOTERICshade gathered enough notice to warrant one.
This was the deleted post. This is the post I made with my findings on the issue.
As always, mods serve at the pleasure of the users of the subverse. Please make your voices heard.
This sticky is both a polling and a discussion. Discuss whatever, wherever, but the polling will function like this:
POLLING
On a base-level comment, type any of these numbers you agree with, in any order.
1 - Rules are fine, don't change them
2 - Mods are doing a good job, don't remove them
3 - Mods aren't doing enough, and need to recruit more mods, and remove more submissions.
4 - Mods are not doing a good job, we need to talk about removing them
5 - Rules are not fine, we need to change them
6 - Mods need to lighten up and let more things slide, let's talk about that.
7 - Try no rules and no moderation for a couple of weeks
8 - No rules and no moderation in perpetuity.
Millennial_Falcon
Millennial_Falcon seems to be a popular whipping boy here. Those that show up in /v/pizzagatemods with complaints tend to target him almost exclusively. The people attacking him seem to think they're not alone, but fail to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.
Keep in mind, your accusations and support for them will not just be taken at face value, like every accuser so far seems to have expected. They will be researched thoroughly, and if there is merit to them, something WILL be done. Please feel free to be the first to provide evidence of wrongdoing on his part.
And by all means, comment on any other mod you have an issue with. Hell, if you guys want ME gone, I'll hand over the reigns to whomever you think is worthy.
Poll will end on the 18th.
Oh,
9 - Stop asking us this crap for 6 months FOR REAL this time!

@heygeorge suggested to crosspost my comment from Crench's previous thread in v/pizzagatemods, so here it is:
I don't think the rules are a problem in general.
The only thing I'd like to be changed is that OPs should be granted some time to fix a post, instead of deleting a post and require reposting.
Reason for this:
Often posts already have many comments when a mod deletes and asks to fix and repost.
Comments won't show on a repost, and discussions get interrupted by requiring to repost, even if its a minor issue that needs to be fixed.
I'd suggest to give OPs 30 minutes or so to fix, shouldn't they do so, delete and ask for repost.
This, of course, depends on whether the mods have the time to look at a post again in the given time period, I'm aware of this.

I've noticed @Millennial_Falcon has been more lenient in that regard lately.
Crensch ago
Lenient as in giving some time to fix?

Yus :)

MF has done better but faggot Crensch has nothing to lose so he won’t make any changes.
argosciv ago
I had to laugh. I don't want Crensch to change at all <3
It's amazing what you can get done when you have nothing to lose and nothing else going on in life :P
srayzie ago
Not when you have a serious forum. He has no people skills. He can’t solve problems. He goes straight to nigger faggot kike. He’s immature. He’s an asshole. I seriously think someone should make a new sub.
argosciv ago
Crensch stays out of it as much as possible, from what I can tell. I have no people skills either lol.
Some people have reasons for liking him, others not so much - the smear campaign (accusations of being a pedo) is woefully petty, though.
Some people don't like Crensch's attitude, some people don't like the attitude of those who go on anti-mod campaigns over hurt feelings - escalating to slander... we don't all have to agree, hell, that's damn near impossible, but, Crensch isn't the horrible god-awful boogeyman many perceive him to be. I honestly even thank him for the times he's put me on the spot... negative reinforcement and whatnot :P
If Crensch calls you a kike, just call him one back and move on.

I don’t stoop to that level and call people pedos. I have the kind of personality where we could call each other faggots all day long. But some don’t like it. This isn’t the type of forum that’s full of college aged guys.

Didn't mean for my last message to come across as directed at you, I know you're not one of the ones crying wolf :)
This is true, on some level I do hold the same concern re: pushing people away - but at this point, it is what it is, imo - no malice intended.
Millennial_Falcon ago
I generally try to be consistent about simply removing and having the person fix and repost. Otherwise it invites claims of bias and censoring certain topics. The occasional exception I make is when a discussion post could arguably be within the rules, but is on the verge of breaking Rule 3, so I simply ask the person to edit the post to clarify something.

Raises thoughts about the "Share a link" button again xD
But otherwise, you know my thoughts on the matter - I have no qualms with what you do, I think there was a couple of times I got upset over some things of mine you deleted, but, it's understandable almost every time - just pushes me to be a bit more creative when I'm trying to be subtle :P
srayzie ago
You’re such a kiss ass to mods 🤣
argosciv ago
Not really lol, I've had my arguments with them :P
I just love them for everything they're doing for us(even when I don't fully agree with whomever), if that's kissing arse, oh well ^_^
Seriously, even if they weren't mods, I quite enjoy them as people and respect their take on things. Just the same as I respect many others around these parts, even if I disagree with them about certain things :P
