Like, most jobs require you to do "x amount of work an hour." Do MAL mods have to ban x amount of users an hour? When I was a mod on the "other" site, there was a certain amount expected of me. Do MAL mods wake up and realize they have so much work to do? Do they even watch anime anymore? Or are they too busy bashing weebs?

Probably not but if they don't do enough modding they'll probably be removed from being a mod

The mods hardly do anything on this site. Take look at forums. Some which clearly break rules are still up.

Yeh boi, sounds like a great time. I mean, to me, that's better than the rigidness of other sites. I'm not trying to post on a thread and have the creator of the forum ask me why did as if I was spamming. Words is words.

Ah, so they used to be a lot more elitist and then they realized they were in charge of a weeb-ass site and chilled out?

Oh my... I miss shitposting. The other site was so pissed about it, it's a shame to hear this one is too. At least this one appears to look the other way, for now.

Good and Bad. Good for all the freedom. Bad because there basically no quality control. So we end with "threads" such as "the return of Akko".

Whose to say that Akko returning isn't discussion worthy?

It probably isn't. But, whose to say?

Clubs in general faded out. Even some clubs with the highest members are barely active/inactive.

I know right? They were everywhere. We can't even get things going again because pretty much all 2008 - 2014 users is gone.

All friends I was cool with either went inactive/ deleted their account / we became friends other platforms.

Damn I made myself sad.

My favorite part about this post is that you included your join date in what you consider the best users. As if it isn't weird as heck that you covered "6" years.

Those people were easier to talk and related with. No shades at the new guys, different mindsets you know?

PS: A lot new guys very young too.

All I'm saying is that 6 is a weird number.

PS: I'm not young.

They shut down my thread that was just telling people that they’re actually safe here to talk about anime. And the SJW ghost they keep fighting isn’t here. Or at least isn’t here in a way that could actually affect them. I have not noticed any bullying going on. And these people need to be told and knock it off. In the thread was really polite. Nobody was spiraling into a sea of flames. But they still shut it down.

We need to have discussions here sometimes. Shutting down all discussion isn’t going to make it be better.

Mods need to chill the fuck out

Not really, we have a certain amount of time we are expected to spend on our roles per week I guess, but not necessarily a qouta. Can't say about other mod roles, but an hourly amount of bans required would be stupid lol

We won't know unless we ask them. I've had my grievances with some in the past. They have different approaches. The issue is that if one makes a bad or unfair decision the others will just back them up. Even the admins will back them up. Kind of like the police minus the brutality. So even if you make a good case the action that the mod took won't get reversed, with only very rare exceptions. Some of the mods and admins are actually very nice and easy to talk to and will try their best to explain the action that was taken against you. But that still doesn't make it fair.

Yes they have quotas and that explains the recent spike in bot count. They need to keep their quota going. You guys aren't trolling enough so they created bots to compensate.

Don't take this post too seriously, I'm just kidding lmao
