Skjie, people left because of excess stupidity on the forums. The signal-to-noise ratio sucked.

The idea has never been to impose moderators or admins on the community in a hand holding capacity.

To me the point and enjoyment of these forums is being able to post with a certain freedom and to missbehave in an entertaining way. That's what I like about it and that's how I would to see it in the future.

This idea goes some way towards explaining my dislike of the ES boards and the idea of a CAS run forum - there's no space for fun. You discuss what you're told to discuss and any attempt at the brand of humor enjoyed in unrelated is unapreciated, the topic locked and a condemnation of the subject and/or the behaviour within it.

Now, it is perfectly acceptable to run a forum that way. And to some degree it works at the cost of driving off the more "independent minded posters".

That is not what anyone wants for Unrelated or any other sub forum on Kyhms and it certainly not what I personally want. The very reason I have always stated that I would not be making the transition to a new CAS run forum is the very reason it would dismay me to see that style of moderation here: it's not fun, it's too restrictive and it's not enjoyable.

The point then of Adminship and moderation elections is not to become more strict.

It's to lay down a solid basis under what we already have. We need a set of etiquette guidelines and people who will actually bother to set examples using them.

I certainly don't want a draconian set of rules or a group of power hungry nazis to be in control (and as an aside I don't see a single person of this description nominated in the nominations thread) on the boards.

I just want guidelines that consist of things not to do. Don't spam the forums. Don't be a total dick to n00bs if it looks like they're learning. Don't be a total dick to the elders if they tell you to shut up a few times. Don't be totally creepy religious nazi. Don't be Nick or Egets. And maybe a disclaimer reading 'Hey, sometimes the people here are kinda jerks. But it works and that's the way we like it. Try not to fail too hard and you should be fine'.

That's all.

Obviously moderation of individual boards will be up the moderators of those boards but the Admins or moderators are not going to be breathing down the necks of posters. They'll just be there, minding their own business and solving technical problems like improving code, answering lost pass word queries and reporting posts.

True they'll have the power to ban people and *should* ban people if it's required. Say if Nick ever decides to start posting again. Or someone similar to him shows up. Or if a 14 year old Naruto fan starts to spam the unrelated forum with topic after new topic linking shock sites and acting like a total douche.

But it's not going to be used as a threat to turn people into mindless postwhoring zombies multitudes.

The idea isn't to change what the place is and it isn't to hold people's hands. It's just to organise it a bit more and try to stop it folding in on itself in an explosion of naked elf sex00rs dickgirl posts.

Like this one Image



Because while some threads have been very entertaining, the majority seem to basically amount to what this post does, degrade the forum faster in the stagnation that is happening.


(this is supposed to back onion up, that point might not have been clear)

However such posts do help swell my hentai folders... and that is never a bad thing.

Drow are the untermench.
Ummm... yay gay Hitler.

Ok. Point made. But I have the growing suspicion that every example we have of Onion blowing her top is a case where she would have misused her terrible admin powers if she was already granted them. And, face it, that is just about every post.[/spoiler]

If you want to make personal attacks against Hilary and call her an internet facist that's bloody well fine and good because you can say whatever damn stupid thing you want, but please go fucking do so over on the the Unrelated board and keep this shit out of the Errant Story board.

Additionally if I may be so bold as to point out, incessant bullshit and whineing will not do a blessed thing to change the various decisions being made about the status of the Errant Story board on the Kyhm forums. However, reasoned discussion and opinions might, but I have yet to see any such rational converse on this matter.


Poe, and with venom on his lips, no less.

I missed out - what sort of douchery incited this?

And Sair - more than a million points for the Mandy Patinkin reference.

Oh. I was figuring it was going to be something retarded, like Sparta or Hell. But now I know.

Thank you, internet friend! :billnye:
