Here's how I like to picture the process:

Heck, even like a notification of if reported posts were seen. Something like “your report was read, no action taken due to non-violation of rules” or something like that, I think would go a long way. One of my bans was because someone was openly advocating for the lynching of black people, and nothing happened for like, 14 hours after I reported it, so I felt at that point, since I didn’t know what was going on with the reported post, was to call it out publicly. Which, I violated the board rules and rightfully got banned for it, but didn’t know what other options I had. Transparency would go a LONG way with a lot of people, I think.

Does lunching black people mean eating them or taking them out to lunch, this is an important distinction.

Since @kcbob79clone started the negative thread about the amazing moderators we have here, I thought we need a thread where only positive things about mods can be shared.

Like the positive covid thread: no questioning of information allowed.

Most of our mods have cured several forms of cancer and I once saw a mod run into a burning building to save five young children.

If anyone has questions about anything, most of us are pretty happy to communicate. I do want to invite anyone to PM me if you have a question about if something is okay or not. It may take me a bit to get back to you, but I'll do my best.

I'm sure we all have different opinions on what constitutes "good" moderation. All I can say is, the CF mods have a thankless task that they do for free, and honestly, even the cave is tame compared to some of the other sports and college and political themed websites out there.

Not sucking up. Just stating an opinion. :D

One issue with this is that the ability to PM a mod goes away when you get banned.
