The behavior we want to stop with that kind of rule is 'stalking/harassing particular individuals/threads over extended periods' like they have with a few people, notably Koalas March. It's kinda the mock thread problem writ large: you run out of content so you keep finding littler, stupider things to pick at and blow out of proportion to keep the laughs coming. I think some good natured ribbing and light mockery is party of the forums, but it really needs to be transient. I don't think there's a hard and fast way of doing this, and I think whatever is decided won't stop the current crop of FYAD posters from consistently pushing the rules, because they've got away with it up until now. It really needs to be a mod team wide effort of high vigilance and zero tolerance for a while.

I brought this up in the discord but imo we should probs have an anonymous mod account to play bad cop, at least until the biggest problem are beaten down or driven off.

Maybe use the robot? It's basically anonymous and as an admin account it should be able to do whatever the fuck.

I don't know how eager the powers that be are to pass the keys to Mr. Roboto around though. Maybe just a FYAD-specific version of the QCS account.

I still think that if helldumping was something deemed to be toxic to the forums as a whole (and I agree with that notion), then digging into someone's post history to mock them should be off limits for the same reason. I get that FYAD is the mean and gross picture forum, but part of the point of this discussion is how to not let the mean part be damaging to the forums culture as a whole. If you want to mock people for making bad posts, I'm not a fan but fine go ahead, but don't dig up shit from more than a month ago imo.

Yeah I think it would be a shame if that guy felt like he couldn't post about star wars in the movie forum without being harangued over ancient posts, but at the same time, people have long histories here and it isn't a crime to remember. That's what I'm getting at with the forums invasion thing, but enforcement in that case would have to come from the movie forum mod. I'm not about to institute mandatory minimums for remembering old posts that people have made.

so I don't forget. these were the IK rules for some years, I don't have anything to say about them right now though because I imagine iks won't make sense until new fyad stabilizes. but for the record
  1. don't leak modqueue shit at all
  2. don't queue up a bunch of dumb stuff. 6 hour probations are ok.
  3. don't interfere with other forums. this includes probating people who didn't post in FYAD, or moving threads where they don't belong, or probating a moderator. probably some other stuff.
  4. don't undo the actions of real mods/admins
  5. please don't break tables in the lepers colony or put NWS images there

Yeah we never should have let these slip, they're good and ought to apply to all IKs, not just FYAD ones.

These are good. I'd maybe add in there not to spring their friends from longer probes by giving them 6ers.

I think that's covered by not fuckign with other mods actions.

edit: still might be good to put in ". . . for example, jailbreaking a user from a longer probe with a sixer" because that's easily been the biggest IK problem we've had.

Yeah lowtax reached out to me tonight about fyad - the rules he's asking for are no bigotry, nothing hateful, and "don't let mod sass get too personal". I think that is a reasonably vague line that the mod will have to draw the line on, but it shouldn't be too hard.

I'm fine with intentionally vague rules, barring the whole bigotry one, natch. Why? Because with vague rules you can probate for clear violations of the spirit with it. With clearly defined rules, you know exactly what's going to happen: toeing the line with the intention of being an ass.

Can he put those in a bullet itemed list? I mean you can do your best but I’d think it best from him. If possible to lend credence, this will be a land shift. Idk how this is going to go down man. Wait, I do. Do it when he’s around btw like now.

That was more how he worded them to me, not how I'd state them in a rules thread - I think "too personal" is vague, specifically. The no bigotry rule will be extremely straightforward.

I’m less worried about mod sass, a codified rule already, and more chasing down others in non Fyad forums tbh. The “ recent” rule seems good to me. Don’t go through months of posts for Christ sake you weenies.

Summary of some points I made in discord:

Pog would be a good candidate for second fyad mod

We need to clean house in the mod forum for our own security

It should be an established expectation that fyad mods (and really all active mods) check the mod forum, post there occasionally, etc. So we avoid a repeat of Jack Daniels just kind of ignoring us for so long.

I have misgivings about this, but admittedly only from what I've seen of him in QCS.

Pog was a poor choice of QCS moderation partly because he decided to become The Voice of Good Moderation and start effectively speaking for people, and partly because he was only IK so he couldn’t ask us about anything.

Also QCS has more fundamental issues with the way it’s currently set up and the fact that it has regulars or a “forum culture” is a failure imo.

For FYAD, he’s basically ideal as a mod for them imo.

Big thing to keep in mind: Outsiders will be watching like hawks. Expect a lot of reports. I personally feel that admins should review the reports after the mods have judged them, but that's me.

My plan is certainly not to reopen fyad and forget about it - I will at least be paying attention and plan on supporting the new fyad mods directly.

When qqcs is reopened, we should get some prior notice? Have we even talked about how that’s gonna be handled bc there will be dozens of threads opened...

I’ll stay the fuck away from the keys unless requested for assistance.

Lowtax has taken a keen interest in FYAD reopening, and none at all on QCS. So.....after. That's all I got.

Are we done issuing the permas that need issuing? Do we have a statement we can give to the many people still looking for one? I've told some people "sit tight, we're on it" and I would very much like to have something further to tell them when our solution hits v1.0, so to speak.

as far as I’m aware there isn’t anybody that needed a perma outstanding, everybody else who didn’t reach the absolute shitbird criteria ate a ban and thirty. Would probably need to go back and look at the discussions from last week to double check though

after reviewing the posts, a common point of contention was that goonlulz was too specific and crossed over into harassment territory. this is something i personally have believed for months and have repeatedly called out other posters for in the past. not only do i agree with this rule, but one of the main things i wanted to do as a moderator was to specifically implement that, so i am glad we are on the same page on that. if we are making a new forumid(not sure if this is still the case, saw it in an earlier page..? mods???) i would like to request that specific megathreads be moved over to preserve the historicity of them. i am hardpressed to see why a thread for talking about anime, or coffee, or beer, should be purged and started anew. having those threads moved over would be a strong show of good faith if the argument is to make a new forumid.

Yeah I am fine with moving over some threads from the old one, mainly the thing I don't want is people bumping old threads and them getting lots of reports for stuff posted pre-closure. Better to have a relatively clean slate.

All this started because night crew won the war so maybe that one should stay gone though.
