I know we all get tired of meta posts, but this has been a complaint for ages.
Can we please simplify the rules and then enforce them equally and consistently? As is, we've had pretty sporadic enforcement, where bad stuff - porn, clearly bad faith trolling, and pedophilia advocation, to name a few recent standouts - have stayed up for around a week. Meanwhile, some much less offensive stuff, from established and active members, sometimes gets taken down immediately, which just stifles discussion. (And, no, I was not moderated, this isn't me bitching about something done to me.)
This isn't Reddit; we don't need these rules. We can simplify this all down to 'no porn, no advocating illegal activity, and if you're a handshake you don't have human rights.'
KiA2 happened because Antonio believed the will of the users on OG KiA, expressed through a vote, was being usurped by the mods. As such, I think this forum in particular should be open to voting on matters like the ones discussed in OP. This forum shouldn’t be run like a subreddit.
Let’s have a vote.
People have been bitching about how many unnecessary rules we've had since the very beginning, and the mods don't listen.
Pretty sad. As you say, the offshoot from KiA happened due to mod maleficence, and then the move over here happened because Reddit was forcing more bullshit on us. But then we just got stuck with a bunch of Reddit-tier nonsense regardless. Very frustrating.
There's only one janny. Unclear why he chooses to spend his time doing this.
To undermine the community of course. There's a reason he constantly targets good faith users but leaves obvious spam and glowie shit up for days on end.
And actual porn and pedophilia...but I guess you already said glowie.
Long ago I asked Dom why the hell he's such a faggot enforcing reddit-era rules, and his excuse was something along the lines of "I'm protecting the site owners". I reminded him that Consume Product exists, so he's either retarded or lying.
or both
I was both being generous, as well as going back to the formation of this sub. We had multiple mods for a bit, I believe. But, yeah, fair enough; currently any mod complaints fall squarely on Dom. He does some things great, to be fair, and it's not like I hate him...but he also both over and under moderates, and I'll call him out on that. He's also not great at listening to complaints, as has been mentioned; we've complained about the retarded rules for years.
I imagine that's because its literally only him and he doesn't seem to treat this as a fiefdom of power. He shows up at random, does a lot of shit at once, and then disappears for long stretches.
Its why he doesn't respond to comments, takes days to respond to reports, and probably doesn't hear any complains between the mass spam that piles up from the guys who normally make these topics so they can edge post.
You're being too generous. Him joining the 41% club would an unqualified positive. The shit that would benefit from his intervention is the shit he takes his sweet ass time on.
