Then stop defending those who did. Regardless of the corruption, these two members who your crew almost successfully voted into HoF proved to be multi-accounters on one end with both being racist, really crude and nasty trolls who are sadistic, trouble-making and serve almost zero (yes, objectively nearly zero) positive impact around here.

I would like us to see what positive impact either member has had on the website from start to now. I can list you a plethora of negative ones for both. I won't do that until you bring the positive, so that this becomes an actual discussion and not a persecution. I also may get gagged by the mods if I continue this, because unlike what you think they are harsh both in defence of such members as well as in attack of them.

A ban involves a revocation of membership privileges. Spacetime is banned, so he will not be able to vote. It's a consequence of his own decision to multi-account.

He lies. He wanted this website to be like 4chan but didn't like my idea of porn ads

You have given more bans than Virt rn. How does it feel to be alpha
Lulz. Really? Seems hard to believe. I guess if bish is usually the one who carries out the bans they jointly decide on...

I can't take credit though. I just happened to be given one of the most active volcanoes to monitor. And I don't like being alpha or disciplining Wylted, it's like having to ban your favorite comedian/entertainer.

He said the same thing to me in his congratulations letter when I was first picked as recusal mod. Such a sweetie.

I didn't actually carry it out. I just made the decision. A while back they asked me to be an actual mod with mod powers but I didn't want it, so they made me a recusal mod instead. I make the call but the other two execute it.

The reason I handle any decision vs any other moderator is always that the other moderator(s) are recused from the case.

No substitutions for Hell. 

I’m sure you’ll be stuck in a Democratic socialist tolerance rally for the rest of eternity.

It would be really entertaining to just sit back and let you fuck things up enough to set everything on fire. I could put my feet up and drink a mimosa and watch Rome burn.

It's threads like these that spring to mind when people talk about wanting to become a moderator. Do you? Do you really? People treat moderators like a bunch of doped up juggalos would treat everyone else (i.e. with flummoxing, "berserker" rage for no reason in particular.) I guess that the wall of anonymity separating the user from the website makes people more likely to reveal their actual abhorrence for eachother without being concerned about politeness, decency, or common sense. This never-ending Call of Duty voice chat of people trying to be "Chad Alphas" (I winced in pain typing that) will continue insofar as the moderators are perceived as nerdy substitute teachers trying to get a class of crack-addled jocks to stop sticking pencils up each others noses. Here is the thing though: I don't know how moderators would change this perception. Engaging with the user base isn't helping, and a lot of users still feel entitled to do or say whatever they want with impunity. Maybe this mindset should be encouraged in the marketplace of ideas. Except, the marketplace is now being flooded with metaphorical shit and Transformer DVDs, diluting it of actual thought. So I guess the message of this long post is simple: I wish you well, moderation, and I'm sorry about having to deal with superfluous BS on the onset of the the HoF. 

TL;DR
Threads like these make me think that jumping off the Eiffel tower onto a bed of upraised HIV-infected needles would be more desirable than becoming a moderator. Cheers to moderation.

P.S. I suppose it is not this thread in particular that made me cognizant of this revelation, but it is the most pertinent one considering the drama erupting from the HoF thread and coating the entire site in a lava bed of belligerent ire.

Lol. Yeah, I don't know either. Perhaps they don't fully understand the realities of the job at the time they express the desire? Maybe they're thinking of it more as a promotion than as a spirit-draining chore. I definitely would never have asked for it like that. I was reluctant to even be a recusal mod, and I have it way, way easier than bish or Virt.

But I think it's just about accepting that there will always be impossible-to-please malcontents and it'll always be a mostly thankless job. But apparently not completely thankless, thanks to people like yourself.

You can keep feeling sorry for them, they arent allowing people like myaelf to rise up and take the responsibility, so it's not an undesirable role or power. They love their inner circle having it all to themaelves, Bsh1 laughs at people against him, after all you can't remove him frim power
