Relaxed moderation is best moderation.

Verbatim · September 08, 2015, 03:30:42 PM

Only because you get to do less work.

Which is the probably shittiest possible reason to vote for it.

Verb is right though, there's like what? 4 maybe 5 people on this forum that even care much about this shit.

So this is kind of funny.

I haven't voted yet

It's a lot easier to moderate when it's spelled out what you are supposed to do.

Verbatim · September 08, 2015, 03:44:40 PM

Exactly. Hence, strict moderation.

I abstain from voting. We either need to become a totalitarian state or an anarchist commune.

Reminder that Cheat still has to go through and remove any alts that voted.

These are not final.

Just so everyone knows, 16 votes to 14 and 13 is hardly a full majority.
As in, those who don't want stricter moderation almost doubly outnumber those who do. So I guess it means a revised set of choices or an elimination round of voting.

I could be wrong but uh, you can't really call it a victory by that margin.

fuck that shit

What the fuck is even the point of having a poll, then? No one honestly expected a landslide one way or another.

Would you feel the same way if the votes were flipped?

The poll is to gauge community feelings on the matter, people are pretty torn over what they want. Which is unsurprising, but there isn't a notable majority saying 'we want blood' or 'let them eat cake and shitpost', so we'll look at some tweaks to what we have going in all likelihood.

I would, because I honestly don't care what style of moderation we have. I think that adaptive is better sure, but we get the same amount of abuse from salty users regardless of what we do.

Cheat · September 11, 2015, 05:22:04 PM

I need to dig into the database and pull out alt account votes, so take the results up now with a grain of salt.

Mr. Psychologist · September 11, 2015, 05:22:42 PM

(Just note that this^ might not be the 100% official line, but it's what I understand of this poll anyway)
EDIT: gee gee on the timing of the post psy

that's for my previous one not cheat's obviously

Cheat · September 12, 2015, 10:26:25 PM

Double post (my bad). I checked the votes and apart from 7 alts that voted for relaxed, the poll is legit and strict moderation was the winner.

Now, since so many of you also voted to keep things the same, the changes are not going to be drastic. We will probably step up punishments and be more likely to hand out lite-bans or 25% warnings and fewer of those 5% to 10% slaps on the wrist, but rules, apart from the spoiler policy that I haven't gotten around to posting, will in most cases remain the same (unless I'm forgetting something).

As a side note this also means that we'll go ahead and finalize the spoiler rules since we were waiting on the poll to end before setting up punishments.
