Even giving the OP of a thread the power to view everyone's post, before they post them (to deem if they're okay), would be better than nothing. YouTube has this option, where your comment has to be approved by the uploader before it's public.This way it mitigates the effect of an asshole.
I mean... I like that, too, but the trouble with that kind of system is that it wouldn't be very conducive to fluid discussion, and it may disincentivize some people from posting at all because the OP might take too long to look over the post.

Lemon, I feel like you'd do a good job, but if it was in a similar case to a game you liked, the position might not look as appetising as it currently does.
I have the benefit of not really being bothered all too much by spoilers--even for games I'm a fan of.just throwing that out there
I agree. I'd rather have Verb be the mod if we had to choose, out of purely selfish reasons.But if I was asked I'd do it. That's my point.
I think Verb should be a mod there. One thing I like Verb for is he's not afraid to mince words and be blunt about what he means. A quality that can get you a lot of hate, but seeing as I do the same thing, it's something I appreciate. I know mods who are way too nice on other forums and it's fucking annoying.
Just, I associate "outburst" with, like... Deci-tier explosions, of which I haven't had any since, like... a long time.
the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I say that whoever posts unmarked spoilers gets their title changed to 'Goatfucker'.To irrevocably brand them for their sins, and to remind us that we can be better.

So you know immediately that they might have posted spoilers, and can safely skip over their post.
