Congrats on the elevation of Caballo from mod to admin!

This has been a long time coming and despite some disagreements from parts of the mod team on ideology, no one can deny that Caballo has certainly earned his spot as he has put in quite a lot of hours modding.

Now we truly are, ""Caballo's Clique""

Purposing a change to improve the legibility of the Jungle theme: a text shadow with a darker green and orange to make the quote text pop.

Why are there THREE /USApol/ threads on /leftypol/? Shouldn't there just be one active one? And why are they all "(full)" what the hell?

its clear to me that the current mod team is about as effective as an impacted bowel, and so radical reform is needed. I feel as though we should have a federal structure for leftypol. I.E. reorganize the matrix chat so that we have one room per board. Instead of having site wide mods we would have each board be governed by a single mod (for slower boards) or a clique of mods who share power. Each mod/mod clique could make their own decisions about who to bring on as janitors under them. Unlike now, those janitors would only be invited to the proper board-related room, and would not simply be junior mods non probation but instead would be perma-jannies.

Developers/IT people and Administrators would still have site-wide power.

In order to break up the traffic to multiple boards, /leftypol/ would simply become the name of the overboard/site itself, and we could have in addition to a brazilian board, other boards for geopolitics, /edu/ would be renamed /theory/, etc.

I feel this would be a good thing because currently you have a ton of inactive or semi inactive mods who just hang out in the matrix all day and don't actually mod. Giving them their own little project/fiefdom would encourage them to clean up the thumbnail graveyard, and actually do maintenance on the alt boards.

you could have performance based metrics, using PPH / IPs on the front page you could measure if the mod is doing a good job by whether they have driven more traffic to their board over time while maintaining quality. If they do a good job they can get responsibility over another board of their choice, if not they will lose out to someone who does.

Okay, so on 7chan there exists a board called /jew/-Thrifty Living. Basically, as the name suggests, its a board about how to survive as a broke ass prole. Some of the more interesting threads on that board are the DIY threads that teach you how to save money or make some side cash by using life hacks.

It would make sense to have a board like this on leftypol where a sizable chunk of the userbase struggles economically in one way or the other (especially with the decline of the labor aristocracy in places like the US + other countries). Think of it as a board where proles share notes on how to live a better life under The Man's system. You could call it something like /pl/ - proletarian living. Sharing knowledge on how to survive and thrive is just basic praxis and solidarity as far as I'm concerned.

add more middle east flags. DFLP, PFLP, Hezbollah, Hamas, Jihadi flag please! also since we have a gay nazi flag please create a gay SSNP flag and gay Saddam Ba'ath flag. Also give us occultist symbol flags

The mods are thinking there are too many generals and we should uncycle some. Thoughts?
