i seem to remember offering my hand to assist in securing down this forum, i made the offer to you, d3rr, but you were snippy and you told me that you had that sht under wraps..

yeah, i see, you obviously have that sht under control, now dont you?

What, tech help? I'm down. The heat is off now that no one is here, but I'd still be interested in any improvements that can be made. I can't remember the specific conversation that we had but some offers for help have been strange.

well, first you need some competent moderation.. truth is, i liked ameliamay, a lot, i thought she was wonderful as a mod..

the first that needs to be done is that the homepage needs to be cleaned...

next, the core functions of this site need to be reworked.

and, the whole site needs to be put up on the darkweb so that nobody can shut it down..

So much work for an antique codebase that no one cares about. But if you can form some kind of consensus and multiple people wants changes, I'm down. I think the future looks a lot like Lemmy.

this country is in a fucking war right now.. and we are sitting here arguing with foreign paid shills and bots.

this is bullshit.

How are you going to have anonymous social media without shills and bots? You're not. Pay to play.

[–]specialsauces 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

omg, are you ever wrong about this....

for example, do you remember that bullshit user that used to post all of the "AMERICANS ARE SO BATSHIT CRAZY THAT BLAH BLAH BLAH"...

and everybody just let that shit fly like nothing was wrong with it..

just fyi, that was not a user that was here to communicate with others.. he was, however, here to disrupt and to discourage and confuse.. and he did a wonderful job..

all you would have had to do was to put all new users into a quarantine until others vote to bring him out of quarantine.

you could have done some really simple things to make this forum work better, but you didnt.

and now your site is dead.

and guess what, now is the time when it is needed, not yesterday, not last week, not last month, but now.

Well it's interesting to hear that this one bot posting 20 things a day ruined this site. If you were here and it bothered you that much, you should have brought it up more often. Usually it's the alt-right ruined the site, or restrictions on alt-right extremist content ruined the site. You really think spam is the issue here? How often do you see spam even on the frontpage?

There was an abuse problem with banned users still voting over the last month or two, and that issue has been fixed.

That account was created all of 7 days ago with the first comment being some horshshit about violence and the rules of Saidit. Might genuinely be the ramblings of a brain addled elderly dude, but I've got doubts given the timing and comments. I wouldn't waste the effort trying to justify anything, personally, but that's your decision.

so now that you have entirely failed at running this site, you would allow me to gather up a consensus, pass it thru you for approval, fuck that shit.

i am not walking behind no snot nosed little bitch like you.

best get that thru your head now.

I think that you may have sunk your own chances, and it is clear that you wish to damage the site by posting porn, complaining about the place and promoting your own amateur attempt. I like that you like TheAmeliaMay. she was a mod after my own heart. Clearly putting people in their place, banning the troublemakers and working hard towards site reform.

You are from a country that invaded Gaza a few days ago.

nah, i am down here by arkansas.

I'm not trying to gatekeep, I'm just saying this isn't my site and I can't just willy nilly go changing shit around. I do have mangora's ear if enough people wanted something changed, that's why I always talk about consensus. Your main concerns seem to be policy/political in nature, that's not my department and I opt out of all of that shit.

    It doesn't matter, we were here when the world needed us.

    you are going to need to be creative to make this site work..

    i keep thinking that the moderation process is slightly broken and not working very well..

    what if, instead of having individual moderators over each sub, what if you had a panel of mods that oversee the entire site.. and maybe they remain silent, a bit like the supreme court, for example..

    i dont know..

    [–]TheAmeliaManiac 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

    How about having a number of admins that don't post much, but that keep spam and bots out, and investigate users that use disruptive spam to drive conversations to promote their own darknet websites, then have lower-level sub based mods who keep those places working, with recourse for users to appeal to the (silent) admin layer when the sub mods misbehave?

    Sounds like a fantastic model.

      i thought you were 50%. why would you be 25%, there's no need for you to create 10% of the content.
