Forums Discussion v3 - Post about Tudd and win a 1 month ban
5,023 replies, posted
[QUOTE=UncleJimmema;52834958]Because people wish to make it a big deal. People want explanations to things that have already been explained. The problem here is not everyone who frequents this thread is on the same page, myself included. As I stated I had gone over these topics well in depth in the past, to which the end result of that entire rant is why my avatar ended up becoming Tudds. One would think that those who frequent this thread, which is many of you, would know my position on the subject. In keeping with the light hearted nature of the thread I expressed that again, to which the wording alone would have alluded that I had covered the topic previously.
In any event that's all going to change, which is fine in my book.[/QUOTE]
You explained that you have a life, and that's great, so does everyone else here. I don't know why explaining any of this is necessary when all people are asking is "stop making condescending remarks"
Imagine if we gave this much fanfare to actual issues the community has
[QUOTE=Hezzy;52834917]I agree with you wholeheartedly. I want the moderator team to be approachable and fun, but also set the standards for the forum. Like you say, some of us know the limits for taste. From this incident, it is abundantly clear that some of us do not. [B]I also cannot understand the general attitude of flippancy / apparent apathy that some moderators have adopted in this thread.[/B] They clearly care enough about the forums to sacrifice their own time for no compensation. A bit baffling.
In this instance, we have fallen well below the standards that you expect from us. I apologise on behalf of the moderation team and I will be taking action to prevent this from happening again.
I finish my current set of shifts with my other job on 1st November (my birthday) so you can expect to see the long delayed Moderator Guidelines being posted later that day.
On a positive note, I will also be announcing how the Community Fund is doing and the first round of grants.[/QUOTE]
I was trying to figure out how best to word how I felt about the current mod attitude on stuff like this and I feel like this sentence described it perfectly.
This amount of apathy and general uncaring attitude is really unbecoming of a moderator in my eyes. If you volunteer your time to moderate a forum, especially one as large as FP, then you should be expected to positively contribute to the community as well.
Saying your personal life is more important than the forums and it's not worth the effort to get involved with the issues on the forums basically says to me that you don't care about being a moderator here.

@Hezzy
I like the transparency and I think continuing it would go a long way in resolving situations like this. Because we don't really get any information other than what mods post here which, as we've just seen, isn't exactly the best or reflective of the general mod stance.

SHOW YOURSELF COWARD
You know it's gone off the rails when I get quoted in full length.
[QUOTE=Grenadiac;52835005]Imagine if we gave this much fanfare to actual issues the community has[/QUOTE]
I mean, this entire episode (and it's evolving sub-plots) as well as Hezzy's response kind of underpin a pretty key issue with the community that's just been dressed up with big ol' anime tiddies.
That is, the question of what the running relationship between the moderator's team and the community is, and what it ought to be. It's a question that's got a pretty delicate and complicated balance, that clearly doesn't have a clean and easy answer yet.
I think it's easy for people to imagine that the issue is not handled seriously when the bulk of communiques are zingers or lackadaisical gushes of apathy. I think that pretty easily frustrates people, and isn't an unreasonable conclusion for a pedestrian to draw, even if it's flatly wrong.
Obviously, on a forum, everyone comes to the table with a different level of seriousness and engagement. We all have a duty to try and figure out what level the other poster is on, and take that at face value, which sometimes means rolling with a good ribbing, and sometimes means taking something that sounds like absolute horse-dick quite seriously.
That said, I'm personally pretty pleased by the results, transparency and resolution to move forward. I'm sure that soon we will return to our regularly scheduled shitposting about how far right wing is too right wing to be allowed on this Christian forum, and whether or not vanilla HLDM is acceptable.

What if reagy just uses a sexy anime Fat Albert as a means of skirting the punishment?

The best solution to unbalanced political leaning and bias is to pick a "model" user that is generally regarded as holding moderate but well articulated political opinions then requiring every user's commentary to align loosely with said models perspectives.
Now it will be hard to find this enlightened beacon of mature intelligence and discussion capability, particularly if you are looking for someone who is humble enough for such a position, but I'll volunteer for that sacrifice.
[QUOTE=Shortyish;52833503]it feels like the new mods have let the greenness go to their heads tbh[/QUOTE]
If we talk about mods in gemeral, only a handful of them should even be mods tbh.

guys
we wouldnt have to deal with any of this if we just banned anime
Yes, open the gates to the non-anime lewd avatars. Get some variety in your lives, you fucking weebs!
[QUOTE=The Genie;52835143]WRT the mod guidelines, you already said in Discord they would be public, but does this also mean you'll be accepting consultation on them from the community?[/QUOTE]
No, they're mainly focused on how Moderators should act and behave which isn't really rocket science.
Although I will be taking on board everybody's comments and thoughts so they may change after being posted
:snip:
So now we need a thread where users post images and mods sanction them to be used as avatars :v:
If they post the images then they'll be able to be used and download and used again until the image expires. That's probably a bad idea.
