Just read your blog, not sure how I missed that one the first time round! I have an interesting personal story about a transgender person I knew a while back. I'll share it in your blog later  | ||

Your post that Kwark added to the OP helped a lot, too. It's not exactly an easy concept to understand for those of us who weren't born with the problem. | ||

I'm glad that I helped create an environment in which you were willing to make that kind of informative post so the topic had some value instead of just a stream of ignorant one liners. Would it surprise you to know I've gotten far more appreciative PMs than hatemail (although I've had a fair bit of that) over that topic? It surprises me to know that you actually read your pms :p Unless you just ignore the ones I send  Its good to see all the idiots being shot down in that thread though. | ||

I'd guess that between the big flashing neon signs that they get on reports, and the fact that there's quite a few mods on the staff, this isn't interfering too badly. Also, when there's one thread that's trying to devolve into a shitfest bantrap, it sends out crazy magic internet pheromones that attract the majority of trouble, concentrating it in one place, and reducing mod actions elsewhere. | ||

"You are ignorant, shut up." I think that should go on a bunch of general forum topics. | ||

There are some topics that are really worth discussing, but can easily degenerate into bullshit from just a single ignorant post. Dealing with that requires a moderator who is vigilant in keeping that thread under control. Without that, you're basically saying that we can never talk about certain things. Without that vigilance, the rest of the mods would have just closed the thread for having accrued too much crap. This is a much better solution for TL. Or, to put it another way, your suggestion would let the assholes and/or ignorant people win. Screw that! | ||

When there are a couple of topics attracting most of the terrible posts, like a live relay thread or one about gay, black, transgender, immigrant dwarves in Alabama, then having a single mod take care of the thread leads to much faster and more effective moderation. Bad posts are like graffiti; if you don't kill them immediately they multiply. As there are multiple mods around, the only results that a single mod taking on a hot-button thread has are better, quicker moderation and less spillover into the rest of the forum. | ||

Nakamp was just temp banned for 2 days by GMarshal. That account was created on 2012-03-03 03:33:39 and had 1 posts. Reason: That was not exactly the best first post, especially in a serious thread. Please try much harder on your second post. I don't even understand what his post was about. | ||

CHOMPMannER was just temp banned for 2 days by GMarshal. That account was created on 2011-09-02 01:53:25 and had 140 posts. Reason: Making a stupid comment in a serious thread is probably a bad idea. In the name of Kwark, take two days off. The power of Kwark compels you! *holds up a cross made of hammers* The power of Kwark compels you! made my afternoon | ||
