Their personality directly dictates how they will enforce the rules.

No, it doesn't. LC has a shitty personality, but he's not a bad moderator. Likewise, Psychologist has a great personality, yet he's not a bad moderator either.

Personality has nothing to do with it.

Almost always, with moderation

That isn't contradictory whatsoever.

I showed my friend this website, and the first thing he said to me was "Everyone likes anime..." He hasn't been on this website since his first week here.

Anime is weird to those who don't like anime. Sorry, it's true. The staff being mostly comprised of weebs doesn't help.

It's nowhere near people being cunts to new users, though.

This is highschooler tier kind of logic and reasoning, "Its something odd to me, so I'm just gonna call it weird and stay clear of it". Believe or not, most just don't give a shit, I already said it, but I'll say it again.

opinion of a few=/=opinion of all the newbies that have entered and left the site

Please tell me more how people being cunts to the newbies didn't make them want to leave, or how their drama didn't do the same, please, please do.

You either die a hero or live long enough to become Mythic..
Let me add something

While it is extremely important to have people with good rule enforcement, imagine newer people coming into the site only seeing these negative and strict moderators.(like Challenger if he was like Verb with rules)
Having someone with a friendly attitude but can still enforce rules just as well is the best you can get.

To be honest, seeing the arguments and fighting some of our users do on a daily basis is gonna deter more people than mods having anime avatars.

Have you ever gotten to know LC when you're not arguing with him about stupid stuff.

Well, deal with it. That's what people think of anime.

I'm not saying that's what I believe, I'm saying that's what most believe.

Holy shit, calm down. You're misinterpreting what I said for the third fucking time.

BEING A CUNT DOES MORE TO PUSH AWAY NEW USERS THAN WEEBERY.

Christ, you're mad.

Where else would I "get to know" his personality?

He just removed his custom title. Notice the Sep7 logo is still to the left of his name.

I have conversations with him that result in arguments. Where else am I going to 'get to know' him?

Oh, that's weird. I figured the Marty logo thing would disappear too.

As did I.

Apparently, it's a separate space from the warning symbol.

They're the faces of the community so of course they should be likable and decent people. However, charisma and popularity shouldn't trump competency. For me a good balance of both traits is important. Psy is a great example of this.

Yes. All customization other than your avatar does.

I'm interpreting it just fine, I'm just annoyed at how dense you about this stupid logic of yours in regards to newbies, but whatever, if you think the several months worth of Noelle/Kiyo/Nuka/Comms/Cis/Verb/etc drama that plagued the site for about half of its lifespan along with how close knit the site is, is less of a deterrent than "weebery" then fine, think what you want.

Clearly not, when you say this yet again, even though I've clarified 3 times now for you.

I don't think this.

Hey now, I don't really start anything. I just find this site's drama hilarious and entertaining.

I'm not sure what's worse, the Mexicans or the fact that they're wasting perfectly good food.
