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!

I'm seeing "leave posts up"

To do something like this we'd need maybe a metric fuckton more mods that would be willing to do such things, I think. Then again, I'm not really sure on our current manpower level.

@Vindicator is this possible with what you guys are working with?

It's only Falcon and I modding these days, but I think with a couple of additional janitors -- @think- might be a good fit -- it could work. The key would be that mods aren't expected to edit stuff for people, only leave posts up long enough for the community to help the OP fix them.

Here's how it could work:

We create four new flairs, one for each rule
Instead of removing, we flair for 24 hours
When the OP fixes the post, he pings the mod or replies to their comment to remove the flair
If he doesn't ping, after 24 hours, the mod assumes no changes were made and automatically removes the post.

The flairs make it just one additional mouse click, so I don't see that as more work, especially if the onus is on the submitter to ping mods to his edit.

Falcon will probably disagree, since he gets on early and does the majority of deletions. I've been trying to convince him to split the week up between us or alternate days so that we can take a day off here and there and have more patience/less burnout. You can see our conversation here and before that, here.

I propose we leave the rules alone for now, but try a two-week experiment (or maybe just one?) during which posts will be flagged for 24 hours prior to removal.

To prevent a tsunami of shill spam, we can further stipulate that posting more than two threads at a time earning rule violation flairs will get your deferred removal privilege revoked and they all get removed.

@think- would be. He/she is calm and tries to solve problems. You need someone reliable, reasonable and doesn’t call everyone a nigger faggot. Think- even gets along with you guys. @kevdude @crensch @vindicator

I sort of like the idea but I also see the possibility of it creating a front page full of slide threads that are flared.
