If you were a mod...

I'd bring the hammer down on racism against Asians, and Islamophobia.

Use racial slurs such as chinaman, chink, jap, oriental, gook, etc., then the ban hammer comes down.

Just like the mods currently do with racism against blacks, and anti-Semitism, and homophobia.

I don't think I'd be as quick to lock threads as Modbot though.

Pretty sure that would already get you a ban with the current mods... am I wrong?

sorry for being too real for the mod forum

probably weren't filthy enough.

For the most part, yes.

Historically, racism against Asians and anti-Asian racial slurs have almost always gone unpunished here.

It looks like things MIGHT be starting to change, but I've gotten that impression in the past and find that I was wrong.

I'll remain cautiously optimistic....
 
I'd try to make community threads have some sort of consistency.

Unfortunately it seems to be an impossible task. Oh well, we need to hear every update from the nostalgia critic for some reason.
 
I would warn people who were crossing a line via pm more than ban.

Any rare bans I'd hand out would include a message about how sorry I was I had to ban them, and that I hoped they wouldn't get over emotional again, and if they needed to talk, let me know...

I'd make a shitty mod.

You'd make a great mod.
 
I'd hand out 24 hour bans to a random but very low percentage of the forum once every few months just to see how long it took before active members noticed the pattern.
That and instaban the driveby "they deserved it tho" posters in the threads on gaza and folks getting shot by cops.

I'd probably get bumped down to junior for the first one.

We all know the truth.

You'd study each person cheek bones and make fanfiction.

Also one other thing.

You'd make a good mod because you give a damn for the right reasons.

I dunno. I think you'd make a good mod.

Though I think you'd stop the pms after the 30th ban.


I personally don't like power structures, as it allows abuse.* So I'd not be a mod. Unless, I was forced to in a hypothetical: be a mod or leave the forum. Which thankfully is insane.

*Not necessarily on this forum, but I've seen it in other forums. I don't blame people. Just human nature. e.g. have a bad day=more people getting bans and/or for longer for lesser valid reasons. Same as with any system that allows peer controls/judges.

I do think however that more people should be allowed more minor controls for admin related things, e.g. editing ops, where ops have been banned.
 
if I was a mod, I'd probably listen to bad jazz and wear dumb clothes. I bet my favorite tv show would be The Prisoner, and I'd be obsessed with my motor scooter.

Failing that, I'd be a half-decent fan-made expansion for a video game.
 
Most probably would make a number of bans.

Though of course I'm not well-known enough among members of GAF to be ever nominated as a mod and I even believe one or two mods actually dislike me as well, hahaha.
 
Let's see

  • Give myself a tag that I think is super cool and marvel at it (You Were The Lightning In That Rain, man i'm so cool♪)
  • Post in the places i've been to before and basically flex my muscles. "Oh sup, I'm a mod now. Suck up to me now, yo)
  • Not bother with actual moderation work, because that sounds like it would take effort
  • Completely stay out of drama

That's really nice. I almost needed therapy after my first ban. It was earth shattering.
