Given that this is all about someone that thinks they've got a grievance with the Barbe Mods, perhaps a less antagonistic way of dealing with it would have been not to delete all his threads. Whadyareckon?
Tell you what, Shapeshifters, here's my advice to you: volunteer to be a moderator. Wade through umpteen K******* or Elmo spam attacks, deleting post after post, endure various other posters going mental, struggle in vain to get people to add topic abstracts, or titles that have anything to do with the subject of the thread, or make their initial post anything more than a one-line comment or link. Remind people constantly to check if there's a thread on something before starting a new one. Endure constant snide implications from various malcontents that you're part of some secret elitist conspiracy. Spend far too much time thrashing out with other moderators how to handle situations where other boards would just delete/boot the fucker. Point out repeatedly to people where decisions have been made at the end of such a lengthy process, and where the guy who's made it possible for us to have this board has made decisions/suggestions. Risk having one particularly persistent troll start intruding into your life off-board.
And after all this, have some of the people on who's behalf you're doing this suggest that maybe the way to deal with threads called 'Fascists!' is to be more open-minded, and stroke the little troll's head and cuddle hir and kiss hir boo-boo, rather than just delete the sickeningly familiar spam.
It's great fun, I reckon you'll love it. |
