Samesies. RB is the ****.

WHO ARE THE BAD POLITICS POASTERS?

all of them.

ALL seems a bit strong. I mean I poast in that forum FFS.

All of them except DVaut1.

i think we can prob have a bad poster thread in the econ forum since it is such ebola that no mod dare enter

Does anyone actually read Econ?

Occasionally. Post in there too.

Is Ebola the new Aids?

Ask your mom

The problem is that Politics has different rules from the rest of the forums, and it needs those rules, because behaviors, such as trolling, which are pretty much fine in most places, are basically just ******ed in politics, because no one can really tell, since everyone thinks everyone else's beliefs are ******ed anyway. Hostility and certain debate "tactics" that are extremely dishonest, like equating someone's beliefs with racism or Nazis, can easily derail the whole forum, and it needs to be nipped in the bud.

Anyway, moderating it effectively requires the moderator to be capable of recognizing when someone on "their side" is out of control, which most people can't really do. Iron did a good job of this, but others since, not so much. So we end up in a state where there are multiple mods of different beliefs in order to balance this effect out, but what it really does is give people who deserve to get banned from all sides a champion to keep them from getting banned, and things spiral more and more out of control.

TL/DR: Ban Flywf

I think a conservative should be modded. The more mods, the better, because favoritism can come into play. As can double standards. Hi Wookie.



I nominate ikestoys and DBJ.

lol, edit, DBJ isn't that bad an idea.

bump

ok
Why are you nominating a moderate

He's conservatively moderate.

Neblis would be good too, and he doesn't have that bad boy edge that DBJ has. I think DBJ and I are probably tied for bans in the forum.

That's probably why there are no conservative mods, how many conservatives have been infracted/banned compared to sane people?

How many sane people still have a queen?


HEYO!

The British and the Borg

I accept the nomination

Edit: Provided there's no intensive labor involved.

you have to endure endless PMs and post reports from whiners

also people will freak the **** out if you give them infractions

also there's horse porn in the mod forum

not that there's anything wrong with that

Could be a good thing, but probably will never happen.

Sounds like a cyber version of my real life.
