Petition to make Ailynn a mod

I think mods should not elected this way. It's kinda a difficult task imo. You may not be pleasing a lot of people when you are around. Or Some people who don't like some sort of authority being around may start taking pot shots at the mod just for the glee of stirring the pot and see what happens next either. Or even people may think you were too kind in regards of some action made in the past. Or you are too much of an ass. Or you are too much biased to certain subjects. Overall you can pretty do your job of mod just fine and still people may even dislike you in the end of the day. It's a difficult task, not to say a shitty job imo.

That pretty much applies to the rest of the staff.

Genuine reaction-

While i agree that Ailynn could make a good mod, i don't think a user petition would be a good way for that to happen - for any candidate.

And the negative comments are totally uncalled for. It's Evilore's site and he'd be far more aware of the pros and cons of any user, and how they would fit into the role he is looking to fill.

And Solaris, formerly Virex, is an idiot.
 
And being a mod is exclusive for banning people only? I didn't know that..

Mod here are pretty hands off. I don't mean this as an offense, but there isn't that much work to be done.

And you're the one who told me to look at the ban section.

If they do need a new mod fine, I still think this petition would be a silly way to go about it.
 
Maybe I should just fuck off this place again because Jesus Christ. I thought GAF was getting better and here comes this shit. Fuck me.

Yep, one shitty post out of hundreds totally makes GAF terribad. Can't believe I didn't see it before! /s

Or, you know, you can stop trying to find excuses to whine about GAF and report the post.
 
Post like this feel like forced messaging and make me inclined to not have said person considered for any role. I don't think we should be supporting this type of thing.

"elect so and so because they are nice! You can trust me!" Like how about just not doing this and let the community management be a natural thing and selections for mods happen organically.

We don't need celebrity mods. That's one reason shit got out of hand the last time imo. And no offense to Ailynn but mods need to be impartial and not necessarily liked but respected. I think many would mistake kindness for weakness. This is all moot because Mods aren't chosen by popular request to my knowledge.

I agree on the thread, not saying I like it myself. Fees like a forced message after all
 
It's generally a good idea to discuss with the person in private first. It's nice to recommend someone for something but only if you know they would feel comfortable doing it.

We banned two people today, for spam (Isn't that automated?)
We banned three yesterday, one for spam and the other an alt.

Again, doesn't look like a two person job.
Idk i bet it took the strength of four mods to finally bring Afro republican down for his temp ban.
 
I prefer keeping a tight ship with a small group of rugged badasses I've selected for specific psychological attributes and mentored.

I understand. I was singing to the dog and using the walls to navigate when I got the idea to make this thread. It seemed like a real good idea at the time; but I tell you what, let's have some fun with it. If you invite Anita Sarkeesian to become a guest mod for 1 week, I won't make any more threads when I'm drunk.


Also I'd just like to thank Ailynn again for the gold gift, that was very generous of her. Cheers.

Winter John, you are still drunk, go home. I swear to God, if Anita was a guest mod even for 1 minute i would burn everything down, i would torch everything.
 
Search through my post history you lazy ;P
It was "Mega Man X" before. It was a fine username but as Barnabot I could go wild since I was making myself comfortable here in GAF.

Yo dawg wtf I had no idea. HOW COULD YOU DO ME LIKE THIS?

I remember that shit, everyone blowing that cuck Bishop everytime he entered a thread.
 
Mom cancer/chemo test results. Wasn't good news so yeah I was having an angry night.
I'm sorry to hear that, we're here if you need anything.

Love Ailynn, but I don't want her to be a mod. I think there are some definite downsides to being a mod, and I wouldn't want to see her burdened with them. Aside from that, I think the moderation here is already in a good place.
