I know, I felt kinda bad suggesting in-the-clouds cause I like him and it's an awful job.

maybe I'll do a bunch of anti-spam appointments on a sub-by-sub basis.

That's what D3 did before he quit and it worked for a while. They're all now burnt out now. And you're working with a severely reduced user base. There's only a handful of people left who would want the job and be good at it.

That's why I think you should just make a big gamble on one person and see what they can do.

I might be wrong, but I love this site and I wouldn't suggest anything I think would hurt it.

Yeah I agree with most of what you said, but I think taking a big gamble on one person is basically a guaranteed way for the site to implode. There's so many people who want this site gone and a lot of people are faking being good members of saidit so they can get in to positions of power, it's something I've dealt with over and over. Also the software itself is very flakey, so I even someone with good intent messing with the code might cause the site to permanently go down. And I can't fix it, and d3rr is gone, so we kind of have to use what we have.

I think content admins or mod appointments are the way to go, so we will try that.

But honestly the bigger problem is that text forums across the internet are infiltrated with AI spambots and it's drowning out all the real people, who are leaving because of all the noise and nonsense. Forum numbers are down on every forum across the internet, it's the end of an era it seems.

    and it goes bad it's whatever.

    I'm not so willing to just let the thing implode as you are, sorry.

    many were "not willing" to let the titanic sink, but down it went anyways.

    Imagine if you used your time to do something productive instead of what you're doing.

    That's Ed, he's a total psycho. You should just ignore him.

      Find some real meaning in life and use it well, instead of squandering your time on this Earth. You know deep down this is not how you really want to be acting.

        Bless you, may you grow out of this awful mindstate in to something peaceful. I believe in you.
