The New Mod Debate: 2013

Question #4: This is the internet, so there are limits to what we can and can't say. Same goes with images we post.
I believe almost all users have the privilege to post rather than the rights.

Late entry lol (check Waar's list, I'm not just trollin')

To answer the first question we must first ask why Jacob created Fakku!; He wanted to see Asuka from Neon Genesis naked so he made Fakku! so people would send him tons of Asuka doujins(least that's what I heard)! To say what IB is, its pretty much explained best by the title. Incoherent Babbling; for when there is no subject.

As to the second question I would say that it would be my job as a mod to enforce the rules set forth by Jacob (or Tegumi (or Waar ( you get where I'm going with this.). As long as there is nobody posting guro/loli/etc or actually harassing other users, I am just another fag on the internet. However, as a representative of Fakku!, I would act to make sure that IB was a fun place for for IB'ers, perhaps by making a mock debate game for all to laugh at people who really think they have a chance at being a mod.

For the third question(s) I would say that I wouldn't do much in the way of intervention for new people; to force older users to change how they treat other would ruin what everyone expects of IB; the mods don't make the forum, the users do. As to what I would do that can make it smoother for new users would be better guides of what to expect of IB as opposed to just having the rules thread, and emphasizing that it was not made to be on your side; IB exist so that you can say anything you want, but anyone can also say anything back to you (so try not to be too dumb about it). Just lurk more and try to read the people as opposed to satisfying your own ego.

Question four is a simple one; freedom of speech is almost absolute in the community. This isn't Nazi Germany, nor is it Hitlertown (its a real place, Google Earth that shit). We should be free to demand freedom, call others people faggots, resist subjugation, by calling people faggots, and attempt to stop people calling us faggots by calling them, their friends, and their family all faggots. We even have the freedom to talk about fake town's that don't exist (you didn't really think there was a place called Hitlertown, did you? Oh well; either way your Google/Bing results might be slight more antisemitic then usual.)

TL;DR?
Yeah, me neither.

Q4

Very

#4: IB is where freedom of speech is absolute. You literally can say whatever the fuck you want. I guess the only corollary being how much you say. Spam like mad and bad things go down. Other parts of fakku unfortunately don't take too kindly to being called fags all the time and that their mother is a whore whom I had sex with last night. So, while freedom of speech still applies (Internet and all, duh), outside of IB, things have to be tamed a little.

I love you.

1. Incoherent Babbling is a place of untapped potential. It is like a seedling or sapling that must be allowed to grow on its own, with minimal pruning.

2. My role as moderator would be to serve the users, to make sure they can speak in a safe and suitable environment, to answer any questions they ask, and to respond to any specific complaints. I would be privileged and honored to serve this community.

3a. New users would have to remember that this is an 18+ site, and with that comes the responsibility of having an emotional and logical maturity that those in civilized society are expected to have. What this generally means is that we must all be willing to sacrifice for the peace and prosperity of this site and the things we love about it, though we must never confuse stagnation for peace, nor tyranny for prosperity.
b. To accomplish a smooth transition into a moderator, I would make an announcement.

4. Freedom of speech is an amazing thing, and in my long years of experience fighting for and believing in the freedom of speech, I have only one thing to say: Our rights do not end where feelings begin.

I'm not seeing a lot of debate or rebuttal. This is it guys, a chance to argue about the important parts of being a mod.

Question 5: How important do you believe the authority of a mod should be?

Given what Waar has said, I will say this: I am frankly appalled at how most of my competitors seem more concerned about what to do with the potential moderator power rather than how best to help the community with the given privileges.

5. The question is backwards. It is not because of the authority a moderator is bestowed that a moderator becomes important, it is that because someone shows they are important and that they care are they granted the position of moderator and the authority it holds. With respect to how much weight a moderators' words or actions holds, it weighs as much as the sacrifices necessary for an efficient and prosperous forum.

Q4: Meh. Say whatever you want for the most part, just don't be a fuck and you're fine

Q5: Important to the extent that they help the place run... Keeping all the bullshit, spammers and faggots out like champs.



Stop sucking up to the chairman
What you do with the power in most ways helps the community. Thus the banning of solid shark, broskfgt and androgeny. The banning of those three would make the community a much better place

Mod authority?
Absolute

First off I like to point out that candidate Dee::Arc copied part of my answer to question #1 and also candidate BOBO is a dog.

Question #5: Somewhat important. Give users some privileges with minimal authority, too much authority would make users avoid this site.

#5: Very important because if it seems like a mod has no authority, then people will do whatever they want without fear of repercussion. Then everything goes to shit.

I’m once again running for moderator (got approval from Waar) because I believe I’d be better than the other candidates.

To answer Waar's questions about my stance:

So far I'm only liking PumpJack's answers.

Even though I'm not a contestant for this event, I'd like to say I'd appreciate a Mod with a "laissez faire" attitude towards "moderating", only stepping in when there's a clear disregard for the rules.(spamming, numerous alt accounts, posting material that old man Jake doesn't like, etc. etc.)

I definitely don't want a mod trying to implement his will into the forums for a "better" IB.

Most people in IB need to learn that most "nuisances" can be completely stopped in their tracks if you don't feed them attention which amplifies their ego and sense of self worth.

That "laissez faire" attitude is what goes on now. We don't need more than one or two moderators if that's your standard. Instead, we should focus on who should lose their position as moderator.

That's the thing, we really don't need another mod.

Although seeing a "who should lose their position" thread would be interesting.

It's all hypothetical. And yes, I'd also like to see a "who should lose their position" thread.

It would actually be boring. It is really REALLY boring when there are no new people to redicule.
All my answers were pretty much to take the piss of this whole thing.

Also, to whoever it was (think it was beardedfaec) Why not invoke laffs? I enjoy trying to make people laff. Although, I do admit I do try a bit too hard sometimes. In this debate; I'd ban fucking everyone and laff my ass off
In reality; I'd stay as I am, and just enforce rules.

I've been a mod before, and it doesn't change much... Just gives you more to do. Especially if you have bots and people breaking rules constantly. Honestly, I'd much rather stay a normal user.

See, being serious is boring.

And here I thought I established myself as the only person in this forum who has the coglioni to stand up against any person of authority. I am concerned for how your small-mindedness cannot appear to comprehend that I have always cared about Fakku and its community, and instead must create the self-delusion, that I of all people, would ever suck up to Waar.



Maybe you should build a time machine and go to when you belong.



1. I am concerned at how you think me kissing the ass of Waar is more believable than me genuinely caring for Fakku and its users.

2. My answer is what one expects, and that is what makes it so hard to believe? Your baseless accusations will get you nowhere, Beard.

3. I have not asked anyone to sacrifice themselves. If I had it my way, no one and nothing would be sacrificed, but unfortunately, we live in a world of scarcity and entropy. Something is always lost in any given exchange, but so long as we prepare ourselves for this, efficiency and prosperity can be achieved.

4. You are naive to think our rights aren't always under attack by the barbarity and tyranny of those that are misguided, selfish, cruel, and evil, and it is only through the constant vigilance of mankind are we able to preserve our rights. But regardless, you have no idea what I'm talking about. I will make my previous statement clearer: Freedom of speech is more important than individual and arbitrary feelings and emotions.

5. Once again, I am concerned as to how you find it more believable that I would kiss the ass of Waar rather than be genuinely concerned for the welfare of this great site that has inspired a countless number of people to enjoy porn at a new and exciting level.

Eh.. I have to remember my humour doesn't exactly carry through the internet well, unless people know it >.>
