Something Awful and Friends - The roller-coaster train-wreck embarrassing downfall of a Web 1.0 giant and its tick offspring like from Cloverfield

@Lowtax I got some experience with modding autistic communities (not this one though). Make me mod and I'll be sure to make SA great again. What do you have to lose at this point?

the hotpockets are talking treason lowtax better get woke in a hurry or he could very soon have nobody to spitefully ban all the pissbabies for their unwoke opinions

Jesus Christ, they are not good mods/admins, they are the further petty and petulant ninny's in charge made in your fat, moronic images. You two fucking idiots and others like you went along with Ozma and Ralp and continued to cost Rich actually money in his actual business so you could have pretend power and imaginary friends.

Hopefully they all take a long hard look at their lives and drink until they meet St. Peter

In typical SA fashion their Shmorky thread is now closed again (way to respect Lowtax' instructions!).

As usual, all it takes is for someone to "shit up" the thread enough, or for a mod to hide it from Daddy Lowtax somewhere.

"Comedy Goldmine" is perhaps the most likely scenario, then the mod can pretend to respect Lowtax somewhat.

This shit is why SA is dying.

Oh no. The shitty admins and mods who are never funny and caused the forums to slowly die want to leave??? My god... what will @Lowtax do.

Tax, just purge them all. Every single one of these guys is shit.

The mods are so shitty that you could just have a YouTube

Just replace them with a reporting system like on YouTube.
It's unfair and retarded, but so are SA mods.

Main advantage: it's automated and you only need to intervene when the poster asks for a reversal of the ban.
Basically @Lowtax and his wife could run SA by themselves.

Nothing will change, and the fact the admins and mods are openly shitting up threads @Lowtax and Mrs Lowtax make is pretty telling

Being cucked from your own forum... shameful display.

this happens every few years, then he decides "fuck it its out of my control" and its 4 more years of ambien and box wine

I've never seen it this openly. To be purely honest @buffaloWildWings ' suggestion of just automating mods and admins just being Lowtax and Lady Ambien is probably the best option, because it seems no one on the forums can get any amount of power over other posters without becoming a tremendously petty fuck-up

i've never seen goons so openly hostile to lowtax, but at the same time him modding that harpy nigger was almost in of itself a concession

I don't think Lowtax made the call to mod them, I think that was FAU's doing

he took FAU's suggestion at point blank because of the circumstance (lowtax didn't like the implication of being racist), and never bothered to check out the posting history to make sure she wasn't part of the problem. either total laziness or concession imo

Joke's on him, they still consider him and his wife racists.

 

[Shrangus]

Every thread that was discussing the admin/mod problems even tangentially has been locked/gassed/moved to the mod forum.

I can see their point a little bit though. They're spending hours a day running another man's business for a free so he can sit around all day abusing ambient and tweet. They're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They're doing it because they want to have control over the place and now Lowtax is threatening to neuter them. These are unveiled threats that if he doesn't go away his free employees are leaving.

The only question is who blinks? My bet is on Lowtax since he isn't willing to spend the weekend it will take to clean house and make a set of rules for mods to rule by.
