We need to nominate a dude to the mod team for the EXPRESS purpose of banning this weirdo's alts. I'm grateful to u/DomitiusofMassilia for popping in every few days, but sadly that's not frequent enough. We need a daily reader who can just hit "ban" when he's browsing comments. It won't solve the problem but it'll alleviate it.
We could also freeze new account creation and open it for select periods, announced with pinned posts. Our growth would be disrupted of course, but it's not like that matters that much.
Sadly the case.
Which is retarded since he isn't even doing the job. I don't get why he won't mod another person or two. I'd guess he's worried about the optical loss of power, but whatever. I get not wanting to mod some of the more aggressive people here, or the prime noticers, or other ideologues but, as I've said before, there are plenty of viable options who clearly would make things better, and not worse.
Devil's Advocate; is it possible he's afraid of a reddit-like scenario where a person nominated ends up being a bad actor who starts taking a chainsaw to topics that "offend" them?
I tend to wander the site as a whole, though I usually land in funny, so I don't know the whole situation as well as people who stay here exclusively, which is why I ask
As head mod, he could just unmod them.
I don't see the danger especially as, like I said, there's a fair roster of people who have been here years. While they could go power mad (but, again, easy solution if they did), the chances are pretty low, and they're generally safe picks.
just thought i'd put it out there, lol.
It's always good to steelman when you can.
