there's a mindset it seems like among some mods or just off and on with all of them (since its not consistent) of suppressing stuff that makes the site less fun (which is obviously subjective and will cause disputes like this - there's good reason to think bait has little to add, but personally i like the smug cartoon), instead of promoting stuff that they want.

You have some mods saying they are very hands off and don't want to impose top-down culture, and then you have the wobblys and misatos of the team who don't have any qualms, and so there's a different face for each accusation - under or over-moderation. I hope internally the mods can implement stricter adherence to the plain rules as stated, or stop trying to legislate every action altogether and allow the mods to have some fun, which is its own kind of positive contribution. The current state of the mod team, half deleting shit they dont like and suppressing, and half agreeing with the sentiment "sorry i just remove gore and nazis, i dont want to influence top-down", makes it highly dysfunctional for the users. I still applaud them for keeping the place CP-free and up and running though.

Mods: please just understand the actual demoralizing impact your actions can have on the boards. It only takes a few good people to make the place fun and lively. By the same token, it also only takes a few people leaving to make it dead and sterile. I think the natural oscillations in quality mask the fact that things are going downhill overall.

Think of it this way: what causes you to post? For me it's two things, either frustration (for lack of a better word), or genuine care to educate or be educated. With frustration, what's most enticing is good bait, or someone getting something just wrong enough to make it easy to jump in and feel good about answering a question, or someone making a challenge like "i'm x, i dont like communism cause [misunderstanding]". For being enticed to post for education, there have to be people who show their human side and not just be autistic, and show some real knowledge or desire to learn.

Considering the above, what happens when you remove bait threads or posts, is just that one source of interaction leaves. That's negative, quantitatively. Qualitatively i can't say, but personally everyone has their own view of what's tolerable and what's not.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

And there we have it. Mask off. Admission that leftypol is just the dictatorship of the moderators, great moderators and fascist moderators.

Can Jannies just please go mask off and add a Dugin, Putin, Eurasia and hopefully also Hyperborea flag? Would just make it seem more honest than the current charade. And at least then I'd know this site is beyond hope and then I'd promise I'd fuck off!

You can now put your mind at ease, tank bro. Mods have basically just went full mask off and proved that this is a strictly pro-Russia board. Not communist or socialist mind you, I am sure they are more than happy to play freeze peach the next time a pollack decides to start a shit "debate me" thread. Just pro-Russian. And don't you heckin' dare post Putin monkey or else the resident Eurasian QAnon Janny will have another meltie and his feelings will be hurt!

Its not really toxic, more just a gaggle of goose pretending their super epic political Machiavelians trying to wrestle control of the board, who are constantly paranoid of their fellow geese, eg d0llars or whatever the fuck his name was, who was in no way a boogyman as he was made out, but just another goose who was entrenched as a rock into his position of janny/admin power, just like Zul or Pineapple during their spat.

Whats funny is that the biggest annoyance for me was that you really had to double check a ton if its ok to ban some rightoid or not, and had to wait for them to go mask off even if you knew they'll sperg out about muh jooz a hundred posts before it happened, so its kind of surprising to see Mr Echochamber ban everyone with so much impunity now. My best guess is that another Pyongyang esque shitter got into the team and is in good graces of some higher up admin, except this time its not an incel schizo, but an actual, dare I even say it, Russiabot. Though I wasn't a jannie during Pyongyang, so fuck do I know.
