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!

WHAT ABOUT HAVING A RULE ABOUT MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN MODERATORS AND THE PEOPLE WHO DO A LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING IN TERMS OF RESEARCH ??
twistedmac11 ago
Exactly. Notice the complete change in @Crensch's attitude, too, vs on this thread https://voat.co/v/pizzagatemods/2394295/1191224
Crensch ago
Example of a "user" we have to deal with that doesn't seem too far from @letsdothis1's posting and behaviour.
Another "user".
Esoteric is another one that I've caught lying and wasting my time, but I don't have the links handy.

And that's your excuse for speaking to people the way you do? You tore everyone apart in that thread who cared disagree with you, myself and @ESOTERICshade included. And I've NEVER spoken with you before, so I definitely haven't earned that kind of treatment. I saw @letsdothis1 attempting to speak with you in a pretty rational manner, and I saw you fly off the handle. If you can't handle day to day shit from people who don't agree with your every word, go somewhere else.
Is it so much to ask for a moderator to speak with an iota of respect? Serious question.
Here, let's ping some more people since that seems to be a thing. @vindicator @millenial_falcon @putitout

I choose to. I don't need an excuse.
Maybe if you were right, or had something valid to present instead of feefees and assertions and claims you can't back up, I'd treat you with some respect.
Nobody deserves respect, it must be earned. Some have earned my respect @RKG and @Dylan_Klebold both were treated to the business end of my sharp tongue. Turns out they earned some modicum of respect, and have that issue no longer.
I've had people I don't know that have responded when I'm busy destroying someone else, and have done so in a way that gets a cordial response. You didn't.
That user wasted my time, and didn't bother to apologize for it. Rational? Rational is accepting that you broke the rules, fixing your shit, and reposting. Irrational is causing this kind of uproar to a userbase that for the most part doesn't seem to really give a fuck about changing anything here.
I handle it fine. I even handle stupidity and wasting my time just fine.
I'm pretty sure it was you that I told that this is not some raging inferno monster version of me, this is Tuesday.
Earn it. At the very least, don't make your first impression one of someone that doesn't deserve it.
People that ping puttitout show that they don't belong here. People that spell his name wrong show that they really just do not belong here.
I choose when and where I use my words. Do you have a problem with that?
Kek.
Sure. Just tell me exactly where this analysis of that faggot's submission is wrong. Where did I make a mistake?
Go ahead; say something stupid.
Disappointed ago
I don't get this. None of the work we did here would have succeeded had we not alerted the admins.
@Kevdude @MickgoestoJail we've been doing it wrong.
Crensch ago
Putt was alerted to what we were doing because the userbase was in an uproar over the bullshit.
He gets pinged hundreds of times per day, and when SGIS was here, maybe thousands.
I'm of the mind that he doesn't even check his pings anymore, but I could be wrong.
Disappointed ago
I think he glances over for them for names that aren't full of shit. At least thats my experience. I can't blame someone though for what most everyone does, including us.
Crensch ago
I concede that point.
All right, @twistedmac11, I rescind that part of my comment, as I cannot fully support that assertion.
Misspelling his name is still very, very telling.
Crensch ago
And wait, ~GASP!~
Could it be that someone disagreed with me and was RIGHT?
OH MY FUCKING GOD STOP THE PRESSES!
