Has the forum been better since Inks was demodded?

[they don't love you like i love you]

Generally better, but still worse than it was pre-2014.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Nope.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Worse.

[Eraserhead]

Yes.

[TJ in Oregon]

I can't say I've noticed much difference really. The Mods don't actually have that much authority over whether or not people make good posts. All they can do is eliminate some of those that get in the way. Whether or not Inks is a Mod just doesn't have that tremendous of an effect on the post quality here, nor have the vast majority of the Mod decisions that have been made.

This forum lives and dies by the Update. It's only as strong as its current season.

[Хahar 🤔]

What makes it hilarious is that Inks is still reporting everything he possibly can for profanity. Look at what happened to this post after Inks reported it. It might be even funnier now:

Why not just leak the whole board?

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

You assume that it was me who reported it...

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

There's every reason to believe that a mod did that on their own accord without Inks bothering to report it....

Indeed.  I understand why the other posters would want to lie though (it forwards their agenda).

[Mr. Morden]

Nothing much has changed, except that Inks posts less often.

Remember, we have Mod Leaks...

It would be truly disappointing if some mods crossed the line from revealing private conversations with other mods to revealing private communications from/with non-mod posters. Unless all reports are made public, none should be disclosed. It's always been a policy not to disclose who reports posts, and there's a good reason for that policy.

Everyone regularly sees you on Who's Online reporting posts. It's a pretty easy conclusion to draw.

Is that true, Inks?

I have no way of verifying, since I can't see them, but in the past week, my guess is that I've reported a total of 3 (maybe 4) posts. If I had to guess, I highly doubt my reports are a plurality of the reports over the past week.

Unless you're reporting to purposefully piss someone off, like I do to a troika of members occassionally, why, Nathan?

Various reasons (posting of PMs, personal attacks, profanity). Why does it matter if I report a post? That's what the button is there for.

Of course! The weight of tyranny has been lifted from our tired shoulders, and we are breathing the fresh air of freedom once again.

Oh I'm sure Andrew, Badg, and BK are thrilled.  Carry on.

Yes

[Goldwater]

Not particularly. This have been the same as far as I can tell...

Al was already doing that in the leaked IRC chat, as you may recall, though I don't remember if anyone else was.

[Panda Express]

Of course it was you.

Anyways, the biggest effect of Inks being brutally fired by Dave Leip is the improvement of Mod/community relations. Let's be honest - Inks is the one who brought down the entire mod team with his weirdness over the years.
