No one else needs to mod OT because you're here to do it, right?
I'd do it if I was needed to, but I think there would be plenty of better people.

Are you thinking of retiring?! :O
No, I'm just curious about what I'd do if my job suddenly told me to drop everything and focus on one thing for a while.
I'd do that. Honestly I think FG needs a mod; that place is a pigsty.IppE wrote:

moderate completely subjectively, have personal preferences to whose threads i lock and dont, shitpost and silence anyone who complains about my hypocrisyBrian OA wrote:

I'd be a horrible mod, in all honesty. My very hatred towards mongrels makes it impossible.
i've been in these positions before, both on forums and twitch channels [popular ones even], synchtube/cytube groups, etc. and I can say that the one thing i did over everything else was pretty much nothing, even when i should have. so not a very good choice to make me one.Brian OA wrote:

Unless you're eager to physically lock the few threads that haven't been accessed since +2 months with less than 10 pages.
But even then, you're wiping away the diarrhea stains from something that's on everlasting laxatives.
I've been waiting for my mod powers
if I were an OT mod I'd probably illegalise one liners like this

Go away Trash Boat, you're not getting mod status.

Ayyyyy lmaoooo I never said anything about becoming a mod.Brian OA wrote:

to be honest, I always viewed mod-rights more as a restriction than anything else (given that I was interested in keeping them and doing a good job).
As a (good) mod, you are responsible for representing your team and the structure you volunteer for.
As a common user, you just need to represent yourself, which is what I'm best at anyways.
Thats how it was with the more serious jobs at least. Guess it doesn't apply that much to the forum here, but regardless.

Question, does anybody here plays Trivia Crack?

Like Riley said, even if you are perfectly fit to be a mod here, do you REALLY want to be one? I mean, it would have a greater effect to lick a trash can, than being a mod here. The community is way too rotten for it to pay off.

Yeah, I'm perfectly aware of that given how I'm the one with the job. In the end there's really only one person I'd consider, but I doubt they'd be willing to do it.Aurani wrote:

I want nowt to do with being a mod.
Ok now that I said that and am pretending to not want something this should make me more likely to get that thing right?

I think you're capable and a more likely candidate than most, but far from a first pick
it would be a good idea, because i'd leave OT forever if he became a mod.
I don't know which criteria you're using to evaluate potential mods here, but I definitely see more than one capable of doing the job impeccably. I was a global mod of a certain game forum a few years ago and I can tell you, that place had infinitely better integrated rules than this place has, with a community that was as mixed in age as it can get, and everything ran perfectly fine there - and that place had more than a few mods which didn't have as much potential as some people here have.Brian OA wrote:

Another thing to note is that you can't judge a book by its cover. Just because, for example, someone doesn't give two shits about this place as a user, doesn't mean he would do the same if he were in charge. People who are in charge tend to like the idea of leading others, and thus do at least a bit better than you would otherwise think. Point is, I see no basis for your claim that only one guy is capable of being a mod here. Prove me wrong, as I'd love to have an insight in your decision-making process.
it would be an even better idea to make aurani a mod because if he does i'll actually hack in std and get myself banned
anyway, on topic: i nominate b1rd to be mod

ive also been mod for regional subforums in a community forum and global mod for a fairly large league of assfaggots community that have both since fallen ;_;7Aurani wrote:

i know for a fact people were content with my work but it's terrible and once you get over the first week's buzz of having power it becomes a menial terrible task and tl;dr moderating fucking sucks don't sign up for that unless you really care about the community enough
also i dont think off-topic needs much moderation, you lock so many threads taht you just encourage people to make new ones. i really like mr color's writing on the topic he gets it pretty right http://pastebin.com/2EeAMWnB
You know, I'm just going to throw all that new mod talk out the window because it's a rather moot point right now and focus on this one since it actually matters.Lewder wrote:

What exactly are you saying here? That I should just not lock threads and let you or other ironic shitposters bump them on purpose all day?
Are you asking me to compare it with others, or just my general opinion on it?
I guess your opinion
I feel like it's something I could talk about for a while so I'm even tempted to make a thread for it

im saying that my opinion on moderating is a fairly extreme laissez-faire where i'd only do something by request or in the case of things like t/344481Brian OA wrote:

the community will moderate itself, it's how things work especially in one whose culture is deeply rooted in being as terrible as possible while maintaining a good quirk to being terrible. you shouldn't ever reach a point where regular posters make new threads knowing they will be locked and in my eyes that's due to overmoderation in a too lenient way. locking a thread is a reward to some people and there's nothing inherently wrong with having a locked thread here and there but currently there are 23 locked threads on the first page of this forum.
sends a message, i think. new people who just look at the front page get the idea that this place is either pure shitposting (>implying it isn't) or a too strictly moderated place where they don't want to post out of fear of being punished for not making a thread that conforms to the subforum's culture.
That's honestly a good point, for once. I'll keep that in mind.
Haha you counted the number of locked threads
I'm actually surprised why you asked me of all people for an opinion.Brian OA wrote:

I'd support that thread wholeheartedly, so yes, go ahead and make one.
also on the topic of overmoderation in a lenient fashion, just locking a thread without warning people is like giving a cookie for making another bad thread. i'm not saying first locked thread should be a warning, but some notice about the consistent level of quality in threads should be given. i obviously don't know how you've actually handled this but it seems like you just lock threads with a comment as the last post.
Yeah, I'd say you're right. I feel like I had some semblance to a more rational approach to locking a thread, but it's become so commonplace it's almost like I have to meet a daily quota or something.

Having been a moderator on serveral gameservers and forums, ranging from small to large (largest was about 2k unique users per week i think?) i gotta say the pastebin is way too true and it kinda hurts actually.
First you explain all nice and everything, but eventually you think "this... again" and using the silence/freeze/ban buttons becomes more and more of a routine or you get angry or annoyed and end up taking action where none was needed...
And in regards to the locked threads, i think it should be like it works in FG, people need to learn to just not post in theads that are clearly shit or unwanted. Of course, FG is a shitty place but atleast they're doing that right. Locks wouldnt even be needed.

Maybe.
Thing is, there are many definitions of the term "friend". I happen to use it mainly for people who share a mutual bond with me - a pretty strong one at that, but yes, I'd say I like you as a friend, since you seem like an intriguing and honest chap. With that I mean that I'd probably never get bored around you to the extent of changing my opinion of you drastically.

I'd really like to see that contemporary art thread. And maybe a thread about modding
There already IS a contemporary art thread mate. Check OT a bit better.
No one wants to waste their time looking through a bunch of retard-filled threads just to look for that.
It's right at the top you mongrel.
Also, it's one of very few threads that actually have a bloody intellectual meaning on this whole forum, so it is most definitely worth looking for it.

tired eyes are tired. Shouldnt post right after waking up (excuses, burn me alive)
NO ONE CARES.
this can be accounted to a couple of things.Lewder wrote:

first of all, the first page is quite big, there are 50 topics on it.
second, there arent many new topics being made and/or posted in every day. just look at the last topic on the first page right now, last post was 13 days ago.
third,
as soon as people learn this, threads wont have to be locked anymore because people will understand that it will just die off.Granger wrote:

fourth, locked threads dont get deleted. it used to be a thing that locked threads would get moved to abandoned wastelands but this doesnt happen anymore unless it's clear spam like that "i white boy" spam.
also people need to learn that off-topic doesnt mean it's ok to go off-topic inside a thread *looks at complaining without being a fag thread*

Speaking of authority, I think I just broke the game.... I pulled a heroic victory out of my arse and completely devastated the Sicilian forces, and all of a sudden his entire faction just spontaneously combusted, resulting in all of his settlements turning into rebels. Like, what the actual fuck.
I've played the game for well over 8 years now, and that has never happened before. I should probably stop modding it, as I'm sure that broke the AI.
