I want to note one thing before I finally leave this forsaken website for good. The “Abuse Discord” Oculus is so worried about doesn’t exist. I own that said discord, but it has a rule that you can’t upload or talk about anything related to fluffies. So, there can’t be any fluffy abuse posted there.

i find archiving of stuff like fluffies really interesting and quite useful.
You wouldn’t think documenting Chris chan would have been important at all, but now its the only way most people can use to see the history and over arching lore!
As someone who joined recently, its the only way i can get bits of lore and history without trying to go to a defunct and dead sight.

No way! did they really just mute your post, so they can leak DMs keep peoples private information to use as they see fit and not allow people to remove there own content but they cant have a public post calling out misdoings. 
misdoings that mutiple long term members of the community agree with.
This clearly isnt a shitpost its a call for action.
(Edit) Not all mods Karn and MrOwl in my limited experience seem to do a good job

Okay, so I woke up about 2 hours ago and have been working on migrating the site host because the current one sucks, and haven’t really had the time to witness this shitstorm. It took me a good solid 30 minutes to read through the rest of the thread, but I’m finally able to respond to some of the stuff that was being said.
Let me start off by saying that I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. I’m not a great admin, and I don’t make the best choices all the time. When I took over, I did it out of an adoration for the community, because I didn’t want to let it die because I knew I had the means to save it. I was honestly more content being the “server guy” that just tries his best to fix the site when it went down. But then, slowly, it morphed into me having far more responsibility than I was ready to have, which lead to a bunch of problems that snowballed into what we see today.
I don’t know why you are so hopelessly obsessed with being a martyr, H83er. Part of the reason you were allowed to get away with mutes is being we really, truly, do not like permabanning people because at the end of the day this is the only genuine place to properly read, write, draw and post about fluffy stuff, and until someone makes another server, it stays that way. As such, we’ve been overly lenient toward many people when they fucked up, because I know that most of the outrage is caused by a genuine love for the community, people only get pissed and start hurling insults when it’s something they care about, and taking that away, even if deserved, didn’t seem right.
@Reddit-Word_H83r That being said, though, if you make posts like this I hope you understand you literally don’t give me much of a choice, once I’m done posting this (and done doing the migration prep) I’ll be permanently banning you off the site. Not because I want to, but because you seem to need it, and as lenient as I’d like to be I really can’t ignore something of this magnitude. It makes me upset that it has to come to this, quite frankly, but it’s too late now.
It’s usually pointless to try and argue about a perception of yourself with someone, it’s subjective at best. But if possible, I’d like to try and understand your reasoning. I’ve done all that I could to try and be a good admin, I didn’t do much counseling or anything, but I’ve done the best with what I was given, I tried keeping the rules mostly what they were, I didn’t restructure the team too much, for I didn’t think it was my authority to do so, since I was still new. Maybe to you that’s being lazy, but I had every reason to act like I did.
Oculus looked into DMs once during a drama situation, thinking he could resolve it that way. He was reprimanded by the team, because we internally are able to log who accesses those kinds of records. He has since not done that anymore, but naturally once someone is branded with a stigma, it’s very hard to get rid of. I have personally never had an issue with Oculus, and I could never relate to the negative opinions that others have had of him, but I never denied it being true because I simply was not involved with him prior to me taking over.
Let me state that Oculus isn’t an “admin” per sé, by his own preference, he’s simply in his role to restore old content. Because of Discourse limitations, that’s made easier by having admin privileges, but every action is logged so it’s not like it’s not monitored what he does. I have previously refused to remove him from the team because I felt it unjust to take other people’s word for someone’s misbehavior, if I removed every person from the team that someone takes issue with, I’d not have any team at all. But the animosity against him just does not die down, which is something I personally cannot understand.
With all this resurfacing, I’m going to rethink Oculus’ position on the team. Personally, I don’t think it’s fair from my own perspective to remove him, but part of my position has to consider that if drama like this keeps popping up, maybe it’s just best for everyone involved.
This is a point I keep seeing brought up. “Laziness”. What constitutes laziness as a site admin? What active responsibility do most of us have? We curate drama in a way we deem fit, that way won’t appeal to everyone, it never can, but we try our best. But in any event, your solution to fix laziness is to remove them? But that just leads to even less shit getting done. We are spread paper-thin as a team right now, and removing anyone that even does just a little bit isn’t the right approach, in my opinion.
I have asked people to join the moderation team before, I’ve made a post, and I have also reached out to specific members of the community, active members, that I thought might make for good candidates. But guess what? Nobody wants to fucking deal with this. Posts like these are the reason nobody wants to moderate, it’s exhausting, pointless, and it’s so utterly childish. You can never satisfy everyone, it’s an up-hill battle, people don’t value the things you do right, they only point out the things you fuck up. It’s human nature.
Someone marked the post as inappropriate and the site reacted automatically by hiding it. I restored it.
Yeah. I’m setting up the new server as we speak. Hopefully I’ll have it done by tomorrow, it’s just taking a bit longer than I was hoping, I wasn’t able to do it over the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.
On that note, I’m going to be restarting this server to set up the new mail host, so be prepared.

Why is it that whenever you finally make up your mind, there’s still an arbitrary waiting game?

So that means you will be allowing people to delete accounts right? nobody should be told you cant leave on any community nevermind a community that could be potentially problematic. ill quote a mr owl post
Its not up to a mod wether someone is ready to leave right? you should be able to just say “ye i want out bye” and no questions should be asked its the users work and the user should have a right to decide when its time to give it up.
@Reddit-Word_H83r my apoligize for jumping on your thread a little here but i know the mods are gonan be all over this thread so ill get a responce.

Anonymized data is not subject to the GDPR. The reason we had been anonymizing accounts instead of deleting them is for preservation efforts, should the person ever wish to come back, they can simply have their old content restored. It is synonymous with permanent deletion safe for the ability to have it restored if the person wants it back.
Not to mention, even if we remove the account, it’s not like their images or stories are gone. People back up pretty much everything on this site constantly, it’s hard to fully erase your presence online. If you do not want something of yours to be publicly accessible, don’t post it.
Many sites don’t have a “Delete Account” option, the ones that do primarily do it because of convenience and to not have to deal with GDRP as they do operate in Europe. From what I recall, the way Discourse is set up, you cannot give that access easily. Since deletion on that scale is an administrative feature, it’s either “Able to delete everyone” or “Able to delete nobody”. It’s possible that we could program something like that, but that’s an additional effort on our part.

@Ryou sadly im.too swamped at work to reapond right now in any detail (two people quit so i got to do thejr jobs in addition to my own).
But honestly man, you’re digging your hoke deeper by how you responded to all of that.
Additionally what you just said up there ammounts to, “artists dont own their content” which is kind of fucked up.
Why was oculus even given power to look through DMs
Even I know he’s an asshat to almost everyone
