All the current community mods vanish into thin air. If we are to replace them with actual regulars, who would do the best job and who would cause the most chaos?

In an alternative universe, ishinashi is a MAL mod.

So your "best" mod team, your literal avengers of moderating are: A French communist, two birds, a sheepling, and a freaking owlbear? There'll be nothing but rainy evenings awaiting this community indeed.

Here's the deal. Fire everyone, and I'll do the job. It can't get any better from there.

@149597871 You forgot about the school student 😊

You're confused about something. It's the left who cares about censorship. The right wants free speech.

@ScaryOwl

Ah, yeah, because your name is ScaryOwl, I just automatically put you in the animal kingdom as the rest. :(

So, a French communist, a bird, a sheep, an owlbear, and a school student!! Unbelievable.

The process to this doesn't depend on community votes. Users opinions don't count when it comes to this. there's a some recruitment process you have to submit an open application and check every box to be selected then there's a trial period of being an errand boy, The users have no say in this unfortunately

I am remind of the time GenshinRosaria compared his struggle to be an MAL mod to the anti-apartheid activism of Nelson Mandela.

On 2nd thought: the best mods would be those who don't wanna be, and the worst ones would be those who wanna be.

Overall it seems fine enough, but when it comes to vague rules like "no trolling" which is mostly up to interpretation I have mixed experiences with their guesswork and judgement. Besides, they should only lock rule-breaking threads instead of deleting them (except for advertising), because the latter is an abhorrent type of censorship that erases memorable discussions from history. Same goes for deleting replies.

@Zarutaku There are different ways to access deleted threads. From what I noticed, threads are only deleted if it breaks rule 6 of Casual Discussion and any other relevant rule.

Such as? And don't say webarchive, because that shit requires each thread to be saved manually, which is rarely done.

Doesn't really matter which rule unless it's advertising, because deleting memorable threads is a tragic act of censoring history.

We need someone who won't lock quality threads (like mine) for the job.

I can't decide whether @Mythologically would do a good job or be a total menace. Probably both.

On another note, @DesuMaiden and @Commit_Crime would have no business being mods.

I was the "buzzkill snitch" who reported the recent thread about Desu, haha.

But really, that weird choice to delete something as old and harmless as congratz thread makes me think it's something personal, thus highly unprofessional.
