I honestly think you should just force somebody to make more favorites (oh hey, I won't make names, guess who I'm talking about as usual).

And no, taking this to suggestions is useless, you guys refuse it outright for whatever random reasons.

Congrats to all the new mods. Good to see a lot of users I know of.

Also great that the ban guidelines are much clearer. Hopefully this reduces arguing about that stuff

People tend to like more than 5 shows or mangas. Don't see why there has to be a limit in the first place. It's stupid.

Because they're not your likes, they're your favorites and those are supposed to be small in number. I like most of the anime I watch but most of them aren't considered my favorites.

Getting banned five times is kinda hard

Isn't it that every 6 months of no warnings/bans gives one less ban?

As a person with 3 bans myself I'm curious as well

And one was like an accidental ban too

Backseat modding
Addressing rule violations (e.g. "wrong board", "inb4 lock", calling people trolls)
Trying to correct rule violations (e.g. telling the user to post in another board)

While the intent of the user may only be to help the user and the staff, users often do not like being directed by non-moderators (which only makes the situation worse) and the user may unintentionally provide the user with wrong information. In short, it quite often creates more work for moderators than it actually helps.

Like with spam, singular backseat modding posts are deleted without warning. If a user makes many posts in one thread or singular


this is called MINI-MODDING right? i do this sometimes here but now im gonna stop it and just report whoever i see do this

I don't really think that's necessary unless someone has a problem with the self modding. The mods will see it anyway since a thread where people said 'inb4 lock' and 'wrong board' are usually the threads that are reported for listing/being in the wrong board.

ye but rules are rules

@Kineta
are the new rules will be applicable to old threads too like a retroactive law? i think its unfair for the new rules to be applied to old offenses (that are not illegal at those times)

They've had the "no self modding" thing on IRC for months and you can join RIGHT NOW and see someone calling everyone trolls.

Self Modding is a staple of mal because everyone on this website calls anyone who says anything they disagree with a troll.

I honestly like that change. Personally, I dislike how some ppl brag after their ban period is over about how much they don't care and continue doing the things they've always been doing. I didn't know a permanent ban existed until today b/c I see the same ppl who were banned from MAL on several occasions. If it weren't for the 6 months of no bans, I'd find it harsh, too. I can tell Kineta (and possibly others) put a lot of thought and planning into this, so I applaud them for it.

But it screws people like me over who do give a fuck and bitch about it for days after they get unbanned. >:[

I think I should get some slack for bitching about it.

That 5 ban rule is scary. What if you get the most bullshit bans all the way to 5? Especially when you only get a point back after every 6 months.

I don't mean b***h about it. It's understandable to be angry. I'm referring to people who say they did nothing wrong or calls their actions (e.g. harassing people) justifiable and continue doing the same thing repeatedly.

Would it bother you guys that one of those people who bragged about getting banned repeatedly is now a Mod capable of banning you?

That actually brings a good question. Are the bans starting over with these new changes? In other words, does everyone get a clean slate now? Maybe Kineta said it and I missed it.

Seems like YLF is now is total control

Not going to lie though, I find it amusing how back in late 2012, Luna_ was the only active forum moderator. And now we have 17 proper forum moderators!
Hopefully now reports will responded to a lot quicker.

A question on the backseat modding.
Would people questioning the incorrect details of information on anime/manga entries and me correcting them or redirecting them to the Anime/Manga DB Modification thread count as backseat modding?
I sometimes do this when I encounter them, more so on the DB modifications board so I wouldn't want to get warnings for this. Should I just report everything I see?

Congratulations to the new forum mods. I see some familiar names in there so I'm expecting lots from them. Expect some reports from me that I hope will get some fast response. Some reports I do take about a day before I get noted that it was resolved.
I'd better familiarize myself on the updates guidelines as well to make reporting easier.

We also need Bloodcalibur here, he'd make a rule where betas can't post.

We could also make PirateRoberts a mod. Unknown conclusion, but I guess it would be fun to experiment with the community, nobody minds right?
