Doesn't really matter whose idea it was, as Lolita stated there's only one mod on, meaning she agreed to it. Just after saying she shut down a thread because of bullying, being an asshole, etc. And honestly? Asking a mod for a green name just to spite me when I said I hope you never become a mod falls right under that middle reason just perfectly.

I hope im not the only one who tells you this

You don't matter and this doesn't matter. In 10 years none of us will be in your life and you'll find a new group of people to tell you're asexual every third conversation. You can hate me for the rest of your life but it's not gonna get you anything man.

This reminds me of when the bad forum I went to had the proletariats call themselves nannies and made posts to members about cleaning up their messes and playing nice "with the other kids" because someone told them that they needed to be less anal and on top of all of the members. All while still harassing people over PMs about how they were terrible people, which was the issue to begin with.

Needless to say, that erupted into a big issue and really was not as funny to the members as the proletariats found it, even though the proletariats intended it as a joke to diffuse the situation (without actually having to do anything about it).

It still doesn't make it funny given the context of what we're discussing. Maybe if it was something dumb in unimportant, but not when we're discussing issues of "what should or shouldn't be passively accepted on the forum".

Can we get back to discussing the issue at hand now?

This situation aside I do feel like we need some more moderators.

It was something I wanted to bring up a few weeks back when I blew up at princess brothel: I noticed at the time that Lolita and Vax were online and had ample opportunity to stop me or princess brothel from going too far - but they did very little (mostly nothing) to keep the argument civil - instead it came down to Great Handsome Oppressor (almost a whole day later) to call us out (mostly me - rightly so) for going overboard.

I don't know if Vax or Lolita are afraid of me or something - but I feel like either one should have stepped in earlier because they were both online and had the opportunity to do so.

The Big Cheese never seems to be around; I take it that Vax generally can't (or won't) moderate very often; Spoony? I have no idea - and I guess that Great Handsome Oppressor has a job now so probably can't be online as much or whatever.

It seems like a scenario in dire need of fixing/patching.


If Chopstix is gonna be a mod I just hope he won't lock a thread every time snakes/pictures of snakes come up.

it's not that i was afraid to stop you, i just never log out of AZ so if i say i'm logged in i might be off somewhere doing something else because i am A+ moderator

and yes, i'm planning on taking it up with the other proletariats later and seeing if we can get a night mod on here. nothing is set in stone yet, though, so don't go PMing me or the other proletariats saying you wanna be a mod.

I'm not sure all of the proletariats read all of the threads. Unless someone reports posts, it really just depends on the mod stumbling upon it.

So Vax and Loli could have been on the whole time it was going on, but they just weren't reading the thread.

Though, I do have to agree a bit. It feels like Great Handsome Oppressor is the main moderating force of the forum. Dark does the behind the scenes stuff and is the final authority (and doesn't really seem to have time for constant moderating), but it does seem like the other proletariats don't do much, most of them seem to be barely active (which is fine, but if this is the case, we need more people to replace them), and Loli really is the only other one who does stuff and doesn't seem quite... sure of herself yet?

Granted, we don't see what happens behind everything, but that's just how it feels from this side.

What hours would a night mod entail?

I'm mostly concerned for the Great Handsome Oppressor because I feel like it must be a strain on him to be 'the main moderating force' all the time and not have a lot of people he can fall back on.

I do think you're doing a good job, Lolita - I just think it would generally benefit you all to increase the number of moderators on-site.

I would consider what timezones people live in as a starting point.

Having one moderator from each main continent - America, Europe, Australia, Asia(?) should give a basic coverage.

IDK if a night mod is really... needed?

Most of the times that I stay up all night, there's barely a handful of posts, then Nacha and D-vid get on, and then usually Great Handsome Oppressor comes on before I go to bed (I have bad sleeping habits;;).

I mean, yeah, there's the potential for a fight to break out then, but 99% of the time, there's like a total of 20 posts happening during the deep parts of the night where no proletariats are on.

I think primarily it would be a good idea in these situations for the people involved to simply step back and consider what's most prudent as well. We're pretty good as a community about getting along in my opinion but it doesn't always go smoothly. The forum, and the exact members involved I'm fairly sure too, have all contributed before to discussions about a wide number of topics that rarely go well, including pedophilia, the nature of it, and whether it's "okay" in the legal or practical sense. We rarely reach a consensus and it becomes heated very quickly.

Although I'm sure it's less heated than an IM group would be, because members have to take the time to write out what they want to say and then hit post and possibly even preview their post again or reread it, sometimes I don't think the gap between reading and posting is long enough. I'd genuinely encourage people who feel they have a temper problem or want to avoid getting too heated to possibly try reading a conversation, distracting themselves for a minute or two with a song or youtube video and not focusing on it, reading the last few posts again and then replying. Not everyone needs to do so and not everyone will be interested in doing so but it might be an idea to consider for members who may personally feel they're too quick to go on the offensive/defensive. This isn't directed to anyone in particular, but rather food for thought that everyone might want to mull over even if they consider themselves level headed.

I think what a night mod would probably do the most during night hours would be cleaning up spambots. They come out in force around this time and I know this because I'm usually the ones to report them.

I know it's only really a minor inconvenience but bots pop up all the time (they never sleep) to make posts about "Where to buy the best kitchen in Leeds." or "Watch Percy Jackson online." and stuff like that.

Moderating isn't all guts and glory - I'd imagine it's mostly bot-watching.
