This isn't the first, second, third, or fourth time we've been overrun by retards.
This shit is much more damaging to a community than any of what Dom lashes out against could ever be.
He claims to care about keeping this community healthy, but continually let's shit like this happen, while simultaneously over-moderating legitimate users. While also not listening to the users, the majority of which think his rules are bullshit and counterproductive.
Reminder that he recently said that this comic is "pushing race war" and...
What is the message of this comic? Pretty straight-forward: In the inter-temporal race war of jews against all civilization, the republican party exists to serve jews and jews alone.
He also says people here want to murder him and his family.
He's also said comparing cops reactions to BLM to reactions to anti-Israel protests is "Asserting hypnotic control of the police to foment an international race war."
It would be one (still bad) thing if he was spinning out, but was at least doing his job in moderating other things. But he's not. Again, he claims to want to keep things healthy here. Are things healthy here, with how he does (or worse, does not do) things?
I've defended him in the past, too. I'm not one of his die-hard haters. He's good on many issues, and I appreciate his hands-off approach when it comes to many issues. But there are issues he weighs in on that he shouldn't, and issues he needs to weigh in on that he doesn't, at least in a timely manner.
He's lost the fucking plot, and is pretty much tanking this community which would otherwise be completely functional. He's the biggest danger to this community at this point.
The fact that we have no backup mod is concerning in the extreme.
With his state of mind, I wouldn't be shocked if he didn't pull a...whatever-the-fuck-that-faggot's-names-was, over on half-KiA.
Dom loves to do mind reading, so I'll do some of my own; he hates a bunch of us here, for what he perceives to be our views. That's terrible for a mod.
He might very well try to nuke us to get back at us, if he's not already doing that. Some people are theorizing that he's behind these retards. I don't buy it, but it's a possibility given his mental state. Some of the other times he disappears, these retards spring up too. We never seem to have this invasion while he's around, so it is odd.
Not the worst idea.
Doesn't solve the problem of if Dom decides to really shit the bed, but at least that would be overt, and could likely be called out and reversed.
It could be because when he's around he's actually banhammering them before they can really get up to speed.
For sure, it is sort of a semi-unfalsifiable claim, admittedly.
That said, I have looked through the mod logs a bit, and I haven't really seen a bunch of bans in a row. But, like you said, maybe it takes a while to get up to speed.
To be clear, I don't think he's behind these retards, just that it was a thought that occurred to me, and not just me.
What happened?
It was David-something, I think.
Back in the day on Reddit, he was technically the top mod and I believe creator of half-KiA, but was inactive for years. Came back as a fullblown leftist, nuked everything, tried to shut down the sub, but got booted by the admins...leading to rule by other only slightly less retarded faggots who proceeded to still ruin the thing.
daivid-me IIRC.
It was David-Me, and that's literally not ever going to happen.
To be clear, I don't think it will happen either. Just saying, we don't have a backup, you do occasional spinout, you seem to think you can read peoples' minds, and you do despise at least some of the people here. You could get it into your head that we're all bad people, or something.
My point is there are no safety checks.
If I am elected mod, I shall hold weekly votes on who to ban! We shall string up the five most downvoted posters and all handshakes that week into the public square, and if any get a supermajority ban vote of commenting non-handshake posters, b&!
I like this, and we could do the reverse, bring back the previously condemned.
Give us the imp.
