Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

[staindgrey]

I mean osby has participated in my ****posting and then was told to infract me so careful
The mods gotta do their jobs so I don’t blame em

Honestly it's one of the weird things about being a mod. When something gets reported and you're stuck between "well I think it's fine" and "well what would the other mods do?" Moderation has to be consistent or people will challenge everything on the basis of "favoritism".

Exactly- and I don’t mind being infracted by you and osby and my other friends who happen to be a mod , but I think the actual lack of consistency in practice is a huge part of the problem.

To a lot of people, it kinda feels like the only things that get infracted are super super minor things, to extremely major things, and absolutely nothing in between lol

no fear

one fear

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

So, I'm, uh, pretty excited for this. Supposed to start at 12:30 Central by the way.

I miss the old staindgrey.

And I think you're right and I think we need to do better.

We're all volunteers without, like, corporate job training. Consistency just comes through practice and reading other reports you weren't a part of. But then because mods are somewhat compartmentalized by which part of the site they're in charge of, there can be variances in how they handle particular situations or how strict they are from forum to forum.

I know that I'm probably on the "too lax" side in comparison to the average, so I'm working on that.

 

[Opossum]

Okay folks, for the thing I need THREAD INPUT!

Basically just answer this. There will be a follow-up poll soon.

 

[Deleted member]

y'know up until osby and staindgrey became mods i thought there was some sort of standard for who's a mod and who's not
turns out, there isn't

Shuddup newbie you just got here.

You’re saying that like I didn’t have a cause a ruckus in forum support about this yesterday

Honestly forum support flat out didn't work for me for the last idk, 3, 4 times I used it and I have no reason to believe that forum support would work as the thing that changed my opinion slightly for the better, was only a week or two by Moy

 

[staindgrey]

wait wtf
UGH delete this pls

Y'know, I can see your revision history.

I know what you said.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

y'know up until osby and staindgrey became mods i thought there was some sort of standard for who's a mod and who's not

I mean they're pretty damn good ones. So, obviously there is.

I've came here to make a announcement.

Making stages in stage builder is one ***** *** ************

That's right, and if you want to know why this stage make me divorce with my wife, then use this code to play on it:

5MR65MCP

You're welcome, except you you ugly little girl, I SEE YOU.

You can't just say everything is a ***** ass ************, that's not how it works, Hunter!

You’re saying that like I didn’t have a cause a ruckus in forum support about this yesterday

I mean, yeah, but I also think there's merit to doing it in public as that allows others who agree with you join in and show they also believe those things are issues. Forum support is just you by yourself shouting at admins without any support(though I'd like to leave it very clear this isn't to say it's not effective at all as it seems the admins really took a thread of mine into consideration, but it should also not be the only option due to its private nature)

If "long form character analysis essays on a daily basis for fifty days" are illegal, then I don't want to be legal. :V

Opo no pls
For your own good dont do it!
i actually do want to see it sign me up

Osby and Grey are both chill, don't you talk **** about them.

Forum Support works really well for me. That's how we saved

 

[Deleted member]

if a mod ever tries to infract you just hit 'em with the uhhhhhh

 

[redfeatherraven]

Okay folks, for the thing I need THREAD INPUT!

Basically just answer this. There will be a follow-up poll soon.

The answer to "pick a number-ish thing" is always "as much of the number-ish thing as possible."

Beside, I made this!

So cleary, I don't give a flying **** anymore.

It really makes you think...

Who's gonna be next?

Everybody place your bets, now.

I'm personally thinking someone like Pyra

 

[Deleted member]

Y'know, I can see your revision history.

I know what you said.

uh, i know
the reason i asked for it to be deleted is because i had already posted it, but it didn't want to show up on my computer for some reason until after i posted it for the second time

You mean I'm actually making a difference?

 

[Pyra]

And I think you're right and I think we need to do better.

We're all volunteers without, like, corporate job training. Consistency just comes through practice and reading other reports you weren't a part of. But then because mods are somewhat compartmentalized by which part of the site they're in charge of, there can be variances in how they handle particular situations or how strict they are from forum to forum.

I know that I'm probably on the "too lax" side in comparison to the average, so I'm working on that.

Yeah. I have some perspective on the issue due to my past experience in admin positions, which is why I’m speaking out about it. I agree with you.

Also about the too lax thing, I kinda feel like that’s a good way to go mostly. Consistency doesn’t have to be “all eyes on the boards and infract every rule breaker”- that’s impractical. However I think the prioritization should be adjusted as well as communicated properly so that everyone is able to actually know what to expect instead of people being blindsided randomly by an infraction they got for a post they made like 5 hours ago that they thought was fine.

Like for instance, some of the more minor things, I feel like most of the infractions for those are hard to substantially justify. In which case, I would understand infractions those if they actually cause problems but because the current method is preemptive, then that leaves a whole lot of (and too much) wiggle room for individual discretion and punishment for something that probably wouldn’t have happened otherwise. Whereas if it’s a thing that has been reported to have caused a problem either through the report form or as a complaint in the thread, I get handing out an infraction for it.

I think one of the cores of the issue is also the “family-friendly” image that is being advertised in the terms for participating in SWF. I’m sure literally everyone here knows that especially in threads like this that that isn’t the case, so it almost feels like infractions for very minor offenses in the name of preemptive appropriateness is disingenuous.

I have a lot to say on the topic but I’ve talked too long already lol

 

[Gyrom8]

so much clapping

master hand is in

But what is the sound of one glove hand clapping?

And is that why Master Hand isn't on the roster? No feasible clapping animations?

Answer me Sakurai

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You mean I'm actually making a difference?

Yeah cause it's obvious as hell that you're the reason they finally got up their asses and fixed the gender ****

 

[Deleted member]

You mean I'm actually making a difference?

You added the Forrest and FOE emojis, you already changed this site for the better

 

[staindgrey]

You mean I'm actually making a difference?

Welp you're already a better admin than I was on AllisBrawl for two years.

I just ****ed around and looked busy.

 

[Pyra]

Believe me, I’m a fan of doing it in public as i am currently doing and have done in the past- I just think when it’s done publicly it’s worth it to keep a level head and try not to meme too hard about it to have a serious discussion, because the aim is to get them to listen and not totally ignore you cause you’re appearing to throw a fit from their perspective (even if from ours it looks fine)

 

[Opossum]

Okay, this'll take some time to write. Stay tuned.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

y'know up until osby and staindgrey became mods i thought there was some sort of standard for who's a mod and who's not

YOU TAKE THAT BACK osby AND staindgrey ARE GREAT PEOPLE AND DEFINITELY UPHOLD THE STANDARDS OF SMASHBOARDS MODERATION STAFF. YOU'RE BEING QUITE INCONSIDERATE AND I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU TO CONSIDER YOUR WORDS BETTER IN THE FUTURE.

 

[Deleted member]

Welp you're already a better admin than I was on AllisBrawl for two years.

I just ****ed around and looked busy.

oh wait
you were semi-qualified?
osby what's your excuse.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

It really makes you think...

Everybody place your bets, now.

I'm personally thinking someone like Pyra

Nah, I'm definitely gonna be the next mod.

He snaps his fingers instead.

I’m sorry I spent a while being long winded for an Internet forum to participate but I wish you well lol

I still think it's crazy how I seem to be the only person on the thread infracted for being too sexual in the thread by joking about how JK Rowling is pretending Dumbledore ****ed

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

oh wait
you were semi-qualified?
osby what's your excuse.

He's a cool and chill guy, for one

If that doesn't count as qualified, I don't know what does
