Hello everyone, we have decided to take some measures to try to make /meta/ more productive - first of all, all posts by mods wil now be identified by mod tag (preferably) or by putting mod in the name field if needed. This will also apply on all other site management threads. Individual mod names will be optional. We hear the criticisms that have been levelled on this issue and we apologise that it has taken some time to take this action.
In addition we would like /meta/ to be a more productive space in general, so please try to post suggestions for improvement rather than blanket criticisms. We may move ban appeals into a dedicated thread in order to reduce the amount of new topic clutter. I hope that we will be able to introduce more reforms soon but this is an important first step. In addition, recruitment of new moderators to give some new blood is continuing apace currently. Please bear with us for more improvements!
>>26339I'd say a decent policy is to use capcodes only when relevant. If a mod is explaining why a post or thread was moderated, or are giving a warning for a first rule violation, they should signal their post is written by a staff member. When making any other posts, their role is irrelevant and they should not be capcoded.
It's not attention whoring if its making people aware that a warning or explanation is from a privileged user
that's a technical term and clarifies that it is* declaring a rule violation rather than just voicing personal disagreement.
>>26352I realize it's typical for the staff to wait to make statements once a discussion reaches some consensus, and that the issues raised will take time to digest, in the meantime I wish to say I'm hoping that there is discussion happening beyond just muting the fire alarm. Their /meta/ antagonization was merely doubling down on their abuse in /leftypol/
>>26361I don't have it downloaded. You may have posted it in the dev channel so it may be worth searching your own name in there to try and bring it up.
If it isn't there, I'd use the rules page and mod log as a basis.
>>26364Well don't say I never do anything for you guys.
>>26362It's not a huge deal I guess, unfortunately I had to get a new account a few months ago so I don't have the old logs. Oh well, I'm just being lazy I can rewrite it. Any other suggestions for what reforms/changes you think would help?
>>26360using a capcode outside of /meta/ is tacitly saying it's fine to metapost outside of this board
if a user wants a mod to reply to them that badly they should come here
>>26469 [moi]
haha whoops wrong link, that's on me: >>>/leftypol/1434138
>>26547Two options:
1. Take this to krates with other sympathetic mods
2. Resign in protest like disco has done
You have tried everything else and it hasn't worked. As far as I can see these are the only paths forward left.
>>26547'cage match'
>>26550I am not Him but
I have very specific instructions
>>26568I've been banned multiple times for "illegal content" and /pol/ spam but I literally am just shit posting and arguing with Grace from my phone. Probably something to do with dynamic ips. Every single time I appealed and got denied, so I had to wait 'til I'm home to make a /meta/ post.
Not really sure what to make of it, there could be a wrecker in the mod team or there could be a glowie abusing certain ip ranges constantly.
Or, dun dun dun, it could be both :o
