Stoner's thread was pretty dumb though. If it was my board I would almost want to delete it just because I'd feel embarrassed about it.

But then I think I would be tempted to remember the subjectivity of the situation.

This isn't about being mad that a silly porn quote thread got deleted, really. It's just an attempt at a dialog using the latest two examples of questionable modding.

We’ve literally told you many times. It was an accident when trying to get rid of the bammer sub forum and create a travel sub forum. What more transparency do you want?

What’s this about attempting to create a travel subforum? I don’t believe it.

Anyway back to the part about where we’re all a bunch of 40-somethings, it is good to know someone is here to shelter us from reading about yucky things on the internet. This safe space that is RMica is truly invaluable.

Once again the patriarchal white male good ole boy network in charge of Rm suppresses another marginal voice.

i feel dirty even being here tbh.

I'm just gonna push back on this a little. There was total transparency about what happened with GD.

Some just didn't like what they heard. And needed to invent conspiracies about it. But it's unfair to say it wasn't transparent.

Really great point, Ruddo.

I’m sorry the penthouse forum was taken away from you.

You're completely exaggerating what the thread was about.

Verb is on to something here

One hypersensitive gatekeeper of what is acceptable to talk about rules the roost

Mischaracterizations and hyperbole aside... I mean, yeah. That's what context moderation is.

Who chose you anyway? Yeah, let's give the overly sensitive moody guy mod powers! Genius!

Verb speedrunning back-to-back 6 month vacations right now.

Don’t worry verb, our next mod we ask will be spike so you’ll get your fair shake soon enough

Spike is such a great guy!

Agreed.

Mod Spike immediately.

As long as I'm allowed to still say he has soy boy hands.

And I'll return the pushback here.

Don't you think the reason people cant accept that answer has a little bit to do with numerous other instances of over-modding in the past, a lot of which is now at the risk of being memory-holed due to said forum deletion?

If you are less conspiracy theory minded but still concerned, don't you think there's just a little bit of righteous anger about just losing a decade long part of the board's essence, just like that?

I think that's the context here, and the reason this conversation should happen from time to time.
