I was a lurker on the subreddit and discord, and I've been watching the modlogs, and it looks like you've been banning people based on their usernames when they make one post, if they were banned in the discord? What's the deal with that? were they chuds?

    HOLY SHIT are you also Dear_Occupant on reddit?

    Edit: also good post. I agree, but due to the eventual mod elections having transparent modding is important for that.

          Oh holy shit. Someone told me that was the last post ever on the old sub before it got banned. I guess it must have been.

              Well damn. Sincereposting wins the day I guess.

              But on the subject of modlogs, there are a few really good reasons to censor them, and then a few other not-as-good-reasons, and then of course most of it is just really minor housekeeping type of stuff that is only interesting if you're deep into whatever meta is current. I think we should look at modding as unpaid labor and orient all our policies around that. There is a balance that has to be struck, but the catch is that if you trust the mods to censor some things, then that means you trust they are not censoring other things in the name of those first things. All representative administration relies on trust, I guess is what I'm getting at. Mutual trust, mind you. We need to feel like they are being open, but they also must not feel like they are being annoyed for petty reasons.

              So do you have a link to where I can learn about the elections? I think I probably ought to get involved in that.

                The stickied FAQ post has some information. Things have been moving fast to get this up and going but these discussions should start soon after the official launch happens.

                  Yeah I probably should have looked at that. Too eager to get back to shitposting. I've got like five effortposts drafted for the old sub that I was just waiting for the right moment to post when it got shut down, plus like everybody else I miss our old lessbad sub.
