Caring about /a/

a guest May 8th, 2015 261 Never
  1. Caring about /a/
  2.  
  3. Apr 29 03:24:37 <You`reMumsD>   From what I've seen you clearly put effort into the things you do so finding a new job shouldn't be that bad
  4. Apr 29 03:24:43 <You`reMumsD>   Not sure how the job market is where you live though
  5. Apr 29 03:25:24 <KusKus>        I used to put a lot of effort forth  
  6. Apr 29 03:26:06 <KusKus>        I'm depressed about /a/ and depressed just about life I guess
  7. Apr 29 03:26:20 <KusKus>        I guess maybe /a/ weighs on me more though cause it's something I Care about
  8. Apr 29 03:26:38 <You`reMumsD>   Fair enough
  9. Apr 29 03:28:06 <KusKus>        Like I don't even know what to do now
  10. Apr 29 03:28:24 <KusKus>        I can't tell if maybe I just don't care anymore or what it actually is
  11. Apr 29 03:28:54 <You`reMumsD>   My attention span for doing the same thing every day is approximately one year
  12. Apr 29 03:28:59 <You`reMumsD>   After that I just stop giving a shit
  13. Apr 29 03:29:07 <You`reMumsD>   Unless it's something I really like
  14. Apr 29 03:29:30 <KusKus>        I care deeply for /a/ the problem is the drama and politics that come with taking care of the board
  15. Apr 29 03:29:37 <KusKus>        Nothing is ever solved
  16. Apr 29 03:29:49 <KusKus>        Cause everyone is afraid to talk to the fucking board
  17. Apr 29 03:29:52 <KusKus>        And
  18. Apr 29 03:30:24 <KusKus>        When problems that could have been handled by simply pointing out the troll get bigger because of it
  19. Apr 29 03:30:31 <KusKus>        And it annoys the living hell out of me
  20. Apr 29 03:30:56 <KusKus>        Like the redwood thing
  21. Apr 29 03:31:25 <KusKus>        It pisses me off to no fucking end that this little shit has got a full blown conspiracy going simply cause I picked him off for shit posting
  22. Apr 29 03:31:52 <You`reMumsD>   Honestly there's not much you can do about people like that
  23. Apr 29 03:32:00 <You`reMumsD>   They're going to start shit and if you call them out they're going to do it more
  24. Apr 29 03:32:15 <KusKus>        This would have never come up if people on /a/ didn't think that people were handling the board who shouldn't be
  25. Apr 29 03:32:33 <KusKus>        THe whole thing I was trying to do was convince them that wasn't the case but it's pretty hard when they might just be right
  26. Apr 29 03:32:42 <You`reMumsD>   Probably doesn't help that they all think I'm some smiley using MAL forum poster
  27. Apr 29 03:33:27 <KusKus>        Taking care of /a/ when I first started was far more easy and the reports were far less
  28. Apr 29 03:33:41 <You`reMumsD>   I have to admit though, even I thought the mods were fags for the longest time
  29. Apr 29 03:33:46 <KusKus>        I fear soon we're gonna get our own outlaw bullshit
  30. Apr 29 03:33:52 <You`reMumsD>   That was until I saw how many shit threads get deleted on /a/
  31. Apr 29 03:34:07 <Antarcticanon> what redwood thing?
  32. Apr 29 03:34:16 <KusKus>        I've gone off on a mod as a user on /a/ before
  33. Apr 29 03:34:23 <Antarcticanon> The thing that happened after the australian dude?
  34. Apr 29 03:34:32 <KusKus>        No
  35. Apr 29 03:34:39 <KusKus>        This stems from /q/ shit
  36. Apr 29 03:34:43 <Antarcticanon> oh
  37. Apr 29 03:35:31 <KusKus>        So pretty much what has happened
  38. Apr 29 03:35:39 <KusKus>        I'll take some time to explain what I can
  39. Apr 29 03:38:56 <KusKus>        During the whole debate time over Naruto certain threads were allowed to live that shouldn't have been and it convinced the users that there was a mod who was on /a/ that shouldn't be, so they attacked RA first for whatever reason. Then we had gray area threads that were being 404d and redircted, further lending to the conspiracy that mods who spend no time on /a/ were modding it. Then I nail some shit head for shit posting
  40. Apr 29 03:38:57 <KusKus>         in a space dandy thread and he decides that the mod who keeps fucking up must be me and that I'm a tripfag from /co/ who got mod status so on and so forth, so they dox this person. Then spread rumors whenever threads that drop that shouldn't have is redwood.
  41. Apr 29 03:39:47 <Antarcticanon> oh
  42. Apr 29 03:39:50 <KusKus>        That's pretty much it
  43. Apr 29 03:39:52 <KusKus>        in a nutshell
  44. Apr 29 03:42:14 <KusKus>        It's whatever at this point
  45. Apr 29 03:42:29 <KusKus>        I just miss the days when the users liked us on /a/
  46. Apr 29 03:42:51 <KusKus>        I keep waiting for the outlaw shit to come to /a/ and finally kill it
  47. Apr 29 03:43:49 <You`reMumsD>   The thing is, even if they do like us they're not going to say anything. People tend to complain when they're pissed off but not give praise when they're pleased
  48. Apr 29 03:44:29 <KusKus>        I just feel that the users have been betrayed on things
  49. Apr 29 03:45:11 <KusKus>        Complaints are one thing
  50. Apr 29 03:45:40 <KusKus>        You can't please everyone
  51. Apr 29 03:46:13 <You`reMumsD>   Honestly I think you do an awesome job and when I see someone doing so it makes me want to do a better job and better myself
  52. Apr 29 03:46:26 <You`reMumsD>   But moderation is hard, it's 4chan
  53. Apr 29 03:46:36 <You`reMumsD>   I guess it's kind of a given that there will always be problems
  54. Apr 29 03:47:48 <HD-DVD>        mhm
  55. Apr 29 03:49:05 <Antarcticanon> It's like that saying
  56. Apr 29 03:49:19 <Antarcticanon> When you do thing right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.
  57. Apr 29 03:49:38 <Antarcticanon> Nobody speaks up until things go wrong
  58. Apr 29 03:49:43 <KusKus>        I was that good for over a year
  59. Apr 29 03:49:49 <KusKus>        Then /q/ came and ruined everything
  60. Apr 29 03:50:55 <Antarcticanon> I can't speak with any sense of authority, but I don't know that /q/ ruined everything, or that it just made visible what people already felt.
  61. Apr 29 03:50:57 <KusKus>         /q/ was so bad that a few /a/nons dedicated time everyday to go on /q/ just to kill meta about /a/
  62. Apr 29 03:51:42 <KusKus>        For the rest of the boards /q/ helped here and there
  63. Apr 29 03:51:48 <KusKus>        All it did was fuck shit up on /a/
  64. Apr 29 03:52:11 <KusKus>        We got more rec threads
  65. Apr 29 03:52:40 <KusKus>        ontop of tons of other shit
  66. Apr 29 03:53:26 <Antarcticanon> :/
  67. Apr 29 03:56:24 <You`reMumsD>   >wow, 'lel' is being banned on /a/ too?
  68. Apr 29 03:56:29 <You`reMumsD>   Looks like he didn't get the memo
  69. Apr 29 03:57:07 <You`reMumsD>   Funnily enough it wasn't in response to any of us, just someone calling him out on his shit
  70. Apr 29 03:57:11 <Antarcticanon> I don't know what to tell ya, mang. At the end of the day, we gotta work with what we are given, and if /a/ is gonna be asshole, they're gonna be assholes. The most we can do is continue to be background cleanup crews, and even if it seems like sometimes it would be easier to directly communicate with the users, it's not up to us. I dunno, maybe it's different for mods.
  71. Apr 29 03:58:34 <KusKus>        I've always thought that talking with the users to clear things up was always the best thing to do
  72. Apr 29 03:58:55 <Antarcticanon> I don't envy you guys who have to deal with boards like /a/ or /sp/, I'm lucky that /co/ is middle ground in terms of shit/speed.
  73. Apr 29 03:59:01 <KusKus>        Problem is not all users want to be told
  74. Apr 29 03:59:32 <KusKus>         /a/ is a well behaved board when it feels like the mods are on their side
  75. Apr 29 03:59:38 <KusKus>        That's the truth
  76. Apr 29 03:59:56 <KusKus>        Even if we had a loli dump here and there it was never all the time like it is now that they feel slighted
  77. Apr 29 04:00:30 <KusKus>        The boards trust can be earned again
  78. Apr 29 04:00:56 <KusKus>        The problem is it won't happen unless certain things stop happening
  79. Apr 29 04:03:39 <Antarcticanon> :/
  80. Apr 29 04:07:00 <Antarcticanon> I'm sure you've talked to them, but maybe bring your concerns to mewt or RA.
  81. Apr 29 04:07:32 <KusKus>        I've talked to RA, maybe someday mewt will have time to listen to me
  82. Apr 29 04:07:54 <KusKus>        Or the other two /a/ mods for that matter
  83. Apr 29 04:10:22 *       Kynokephalos has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
  84. Apr 29 04:10:31 <Antarcticanon> I guess you are lucky in the sense that you have mods to talk with for /a/. I don't think I've ever seen a /co/ mod.
  85. Apr 29 04:10:55 <KusKus>        Henchouse is the /co/ mod
  86. Apr 29 04:11:32 <KusKus>        kami is full of wisdom you just have to know what questions to ask
  87. Apr 29 04:12:14 <KusKus>        I have learned a lot from kami
