Aww, he got banned.

WHAAAAAT?! Haha! Is it because I was just putting pressure on Flee and now they have to make it look like they are actually trying? What has he done in the last hour to warrant a ban? This is too good.
In fairness, he did spam, we have a policy here to hit people harder if they have a history of getting warned and banned.
So it was warranted.
What isn't fair is that he's doing it to make a point to the staff and he wasn't hit for doing it yesterday.
So again, selective moderation.

Nah
so what do you think about the SHOKUGEKI NO SOMA Manga? some would say it's a comedy/romance
what do you think?
I haven't read or watched it, if you want someone to talk about it with, try Yu, he adores it in both anime and manga form.

Challenger wasn't banned for outing anyone. He was banned for his posts in Serious. As it clearly states in the rules, moderation is stricter in the Serious board. It's the board for proper debates and civil discussions on certain serious topics, so the treshold for bullshit and personal attacks is lower there. If you look at the rules, you'll see that every severe warning you receive in Serious gets marked with a tag. If you have one of those tagged warnings in your recent history and break the rules again, you're getting an instant ban. I'm not the one who banned him but looking at Challenger's history, it's pretty clear he already had several prior tagged warnings and bans.

Either way, I believe his ban wears off later today.

Yet, I still see personal insults thrown around in serious a lot. Two of which were directed at me in my short time being back.
Did you report them?

One of them, though, is that really even crucial? Given the low activity moderation should be a breeze.
While activity sometimes drops, this place still has an average of 2400+ posts a day. That's 2400 posts for 7 mods, all with busy schedules, personal lives and differing time zones. We catch a lot, but not everything. So if you think something breaks the rules, then you should definitely report it.
Then bring in another mod, this is why you needed an active member as part of the staff.
But of course, popularity over activity, gotta be friends with Cheat first.
It doesn't help to have dead weight on the staff either.

Or just jerkoffs like Yu.
Actually, Yu is one of the more active mods when he's around.
Relatively proactive.

That may be, but he's still a jerkoff.
You're right, he prefers tits to booty.
What an asshole.

It depends, if the animal was bred for producing the fur, fine.
If it wasn't, I'd like to skin whoever made that and see what they think about it then.

First go: 24
Second go: 26
Third go: 32

I'm always told I look really young, usually people mistake me for being 3-4 years younger than I am.
For reference, I'm 21.

There's also only been one report total today, so if I'm checking in on reports and don't see anything then I'm going to assume that everything is daijobu.
maybe people don't bother leaving reports because they don't think anything is actually going to be done, or because it seems annoyingly tattletale-ish
Unless a mod tells who sent any given report, you can't see who reports what.

I'm constantly reporting things, but I left Comms' threads alone to see what would happen, seeing as they were on the top of page one of the Flood for hours and it should be standard procedure at this point to check Comms' threads antway given that the mods are well aware of his posting habits.
Hmm...well it looks like none of the mods were around to see it. I know I wasn't. I got on and deleted a few threads in the flood and noticed that there weren't any reports. I hadn't had a chance to enter many of the front page threads, but nothing stood out to me, so I didn't rush to check them.

I mean, I guess if you're going to make the mods go through every thread themselves, yeah, there will probably be shitty moderation just from lack of resources. But I'd hope that you would hit that report button and help us out so that threads like this don't need to be made.
There's my point.
You guys know Comms is a massive shitposter. And his threads were right up there.
Maybe it's just me, but it's not hard to jump in between a few thread to check the OP. It's not like they were from a diverse range of users.

My not reporting anything this time was, like I said, a test to see if who was online was on the ball.
They weren't, whether that's for personal reasons or not, that timeframe sees Zesty, Comms, Elegiac, Challenger, sometimes Midget and Berzerk who likes to necrobump.
On top of it being extremely quiet without those users, it's not hard to keep an eye out.

I will continue reporting things, but if there's 5 shitposts I see, unless I plug the thread links into one report box (which you need to lengthen, it's woefully inadequate) it'll take 5 minutes to report each thread, which is ridiculous.

And really, Comms made 5-7 shitposts earlier, when Flee and LC were online, during that time only a couple of other threads were made and the ones made by Comms stayed at the top for a couple of hours.
They were nothing but shitposts on par with the stuff usually locked.

Did the mods do anything?
No.

But Meta's thread is jumped on immediately, along with a thread asking about it.
That's selective moderation if ever there was any.

Was I actually on? Or was my computer on?

I leave this thing on all day so me being "on" doesn't mean I'm actually on. I don't even know what happened with meta's thread today since I haven't really looked on here much. To busy with other shit.
Well the system only lists you as online if you're active, refreshing a page or clicking something, so you had to have been doing one of those for your username to be listed on the Index page.

And there's a problem with locking away the "who's online" there's no way to actually tell when a mod is truly active.
Psy for example often just refreshes the page to make him appear on the online user list for the pretence of being active.
Doesn't mean he's actually available.

Not even a "you know this isn't allowed". On top of that, threads like those are generally just locked. But we have to protect the snowflakes, right?

And these threads are still here, good job showing up the moderators Comms.

The report button exists
from what I understand, reporting something doesn't guarantee moderator action
It guarantees a moderator will look at it, though.
Just seeing it doesn't indicated action will be taken, for example, Chronic has said he doesn't like moderating.
So the chances of him doing anything are slim.
And what if he's the only one active during that time?
It's ok to let the rule breaking continue until someone willing to do the job appears?
No, you're right. For one reason or another, the moderator may choose to not take action and leave the report up. The mod could be conflicted about what to do or need someone else's opinion or any other number of things.
Diverting from the fact of one mod being set on not taking action is quite funny.

But you're right that a mod may need a second opinion, however, from talking to a few of the mods, most can't seem to act WITHOUT second opinion, which is completely wrong.
There's a reason we have set rules that are quite clear-cut. And that's not so mods can spend time discussing over something that clearly violates the rules while leaving the offending user/post/thread free until they're finished.

He's talking about all the Meta related threads from a few minutes ago getting deleted, when threads made about other members just get locked and left.

It's pretty obvious they're just protecting the one user.

Address an issue when it can just be swept under the rug until the time it becomes a much bigger problem?
You must think there's sense here.
