Lots of people are on edge now and people are suffering from emotional exhaustion. These are certainly extenuating circumstances. A kissu user shared his vulnerability and vern did what he thought was right in the moment, but made an error of judgement as people are prone to do in these situations. (definitely including myself)
Kissu has a triumvirate mod team and we talk and argue about things, and he's been hit on the head with a hammer a dozen times for this by us while users are free to air grievances here or anywhere else alongside us.
Our goal as always is for people to enjoy themselves on kissu, but as humans we are prone to getting it wrong sometimes. Being a mod sucks.

There wouldn't be much problem if this didn't happen so often. People have a limit of how much they can take. It's almost like he tries to lose users on purpose.

You know, looking at some older threads about kissu's past activity it's clear that the site has slowed down in the last year or so: >>3284. So if you don't change your attitude you'll end up with nobody but you posting here. And no, your users are NOT replaceable unlike the ones on 4chan. You have no real way of getting new ones.

The person in question has an on off relationship with me. But as far as actual issues I think post history viewing is the only one that is offputting, and there's no way to have an effective decision making process without viewing the entire profile of a person. Letting it get out of hand can be a problem.

Post rates with the site are very much random. Factors do influence it, but what matters more is how hard I push it.

Well I mean I'm pretty sure everyone's playing Elden Ring right now.

don't ban people, ban posts

>>9414
Take your idealism and make a Sageru channel to see how that goes. Hard to tell you how many times that's caused issues on #qa.

>>9415
on an imageboard you can't ban people, in practice all you can do is remove posts and ban IPs
people can't really be banned on an imageboard unless you make it not an imageboard

bye.

If a person makes a bad post you have two options
1) You ban him on the spot. The given post was bad therefore they deserve to be punished.
2) You look at his post history, ban history ; and see that they have a history of good posts and clean record, but made one bad one that is bannable and decide to wait and see.

The option that results in the least bans is a subjective analysis of user history.

Oh It's You Again.

I have to admit when I recently got temp banned I felt that it was pretty heavy handed. It seemed to me just a normal non-toxic argument, but then the temp ban came down. I think a friendly warning posted as a reply in the thread would have been more appropriate. I also admit having the same feeling that the mods maybe just don't want me or some other users here at all.

I have to agree. Verm's probably a bit to fast to reach for the hammer when a deletion for most things probably works. I don't get his mindset, but mine is more that as long as someone's not being too much of a nuisance that it's disrupting the board, then a ban isn't deserved.

Or option 3, delete just the offending post without looking at user history. You can of course use a warning system to notify the user that the post was bad. I’m sure you already know this but bans are not the only tool in the moderation kit.

There is some merit in this user history system you have but it really should not be a subjective look. After a certain number of deleted posts per time frame is reached then consider the IP for a ban. This threshold can be adjusted to account for the post rate of a given IP so that frequent posters are not adversely affected, or really using what ever specific metric is seen fit. If you find that too many bans are being handed out it might be that the moderator is deleting too many of the wrong kind of posts or the rules do not fit around the community they are supposed to regulate.

Just dropping by to say that I like how vermin runs things.

>>9431
I don't have an intention to change how I am or the system. I know that some people take extended breaks from the site(this is normal). During the russian-invasion some people are probably taking a break from the internet altogether while others are glued to it.

There are likely ways to improve the way things are run, which is what I like to gather when I do something unpopular.

Can the soyjak spammers be indicated with something more descriptive than "low quality" in the ban list? It makes it look like you get a permaban for "lol u tk him 2 da bar|?"

>>9433
They should be labeled as spam. I can bring this up with the others.

>>9414
How are moderators supposed to identify and deal with consistent bad actors if entire post histories aren't considered?

>>9434
label it as cancer
