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.
Dom can and should be the one to appoint any new mod, look at c/gaming for what happens when the admins get involved
That was a bit different, since the old mod there was trying to burn down the whole board. Just asking them to give someone who's here every day the power to deal with all those spam posts flagged "sexualization of minors" is a whole 'nother balpark.
I think I'm out of the loop. What happened to c/gaming? I thought it was always modded by the admin Paleo, who refuses to appoint any other mods.
CisCiberianOrchestra was the mod there, he removed a post by Hexen, the community thought he overstepped, he threw up his hands and appointed fishfag as the new mod before quitting. That led to the first appeal to admins to remove fishy (which they did soon enough, given how unanimous that request was lol), but after that they refused multiple requests to appoint new mods through “votes” or nomination threads etc and it’s just kinda sat there in admin limbo since.
Ah okay, I remember that shitshow now. Thanks for the recap.
Still a mess with Paleo as a mod.
