How can we fix the Coli Arcadium?

[newarkhiphop]

and this sub forum has really chilled in comparison to 3 years ago. The stanning and other shyt is basically dead. @newarkhiphop not a single person voted you as mod let alone super so fukk out of here with your dictator wishes. Not to mention you use to Stan hard too with that goog droid set shyt. You not above shyt

im not above it for sure but u can check I barely post here anymore and pretty much never derailed a thread even if it was IOS related

I must have gotten the mod title cause am cac


Jesus u derailing a thread about derailment

Na I just seen him snapping the other day in that Nintendo mini thread he said some shyt and some dudes took it to heart and the thread went sideways

That's not how it went down at all. Go through that thread again.
Things didn't go left until he used his mod privilege to add a tag to troll people.
When I called him out on it he threw a tantrum and went back into his "I don't want to be a mod anymore" speech.
Then he went into another thread callin people hypocrites and gave @Fatboi1 a warning for trolling. (So he's cool with trolling as long as he's the one doing it )
The way you put it makes it sound like the arcadium can't take a joke or something, when the truth is actually the complete opposite.
This isn't about someone taking something Liquid said to heart and catching feelings. Nobody cares if liquid likes a mini nes or not. This is 100% about him catching feelings and abusing his mod privilege.

The arcadium random thoughts thread should be stickied for one.

This this this this..

Its so dumb that I can't post up my random thoughts on a game without digging through threads..

 

[The Mad Titan]

I voted for @Kamikaze Revy to be mod once before. I still think he should be....or me

Like I said earlier couple of years ago this subforum became unbearable I mean there's a reason why the film room split happen, there's a reason why it's the sub forum with the least amount of traffic and up until not so long ago the most amount of reported threads

Dudes post a thread about xyz game on xyz console and stans shyt on them and no healthy discussion happens

Which is what I meant when I recommended hard modding a few years ago bout curbing the thread derailments but liquid thought it wouldn't be good and a bunch of dudes on here agreed that this place is "fine"

Also this is another problem. Coli mods openly talking bad about a coli forum. Its like going into a store and you hear employees criticizing customers or other employees. It makes the coli as a business look sloppy. You can't complain about the quality of a forum while consistently belittling the people that post in it. You also can't actively partake in certain behavior (effectively approving it with your actions) then turn around and clear your throat and use your big boy mod voice and draw a line when something you don't like is posted. (And I'm not blaming you specifically about this, I'm speaking in general).

Personally I think a huge part of the problem is that each mod has his own vision for the forum and enforces arbitrary rules based on their moods and their affinity towards one platform or the other. If there are going to be mods, then moderate objectively within the same guidelines across the board.

The arcadium is a moderated forum, therefore like it or not, the arcadium is a product of behavior its moderators allowed.

There should be multiple mods and when something needs to be rectified a quick discussion can be had to fix it rather than an arbitrary "I'm ____ and I say so" action.

You don't post anymore because you never added anything outside google talk and stanning COD. Which makes your scorched earth hardline modding wishes even more asinine. At its worst this forum was never as bad as the old rec room when court and dudes like Ms goonie ran nuts. And I don't even know what point you are trying to make with the last two sentences

Not being a mod I can't say what they do or don't do behind the scenes, but it SEEMS like mods are generally given the title with little to no forum specific guidelines. (This is just my perception, I could be 100% wrong)
I want to be clear, I'm not saying we need more moderation, or any at all to begin with, just an observation of the current system.
I really don't have a preference at this point whether or not the arcadium is moderated. I just think if it's going to continue to be moderated there's certainly room for improvement.
When I think of a traditional moderator I think of a person who stands back and observes. They may make a comment here and there to spur conversation or steer a discussion a certain way to keep it on topic.
They certainly don't actively get into debates or sling insults back and forth with people. To me, that isn't the job of a moderator. But I get this isn't CNN or Fox News so things aren't going to be a 1:1 comparison as far as how moderation should be handled.

I think the best mod was @Kodie. dude was pretty much just like that. Even amidst stans/trolls he'd shut them down quickly.

I agree 100%

TBH being a mod is cool cause to a ceartin extent you can control the flow of your subforum but it also sucks because dudes will be quick to accuse you of being bias if you hold a strong opinion on a subject

Anyways yall fellas have fun getting this place right

[mortuus est]

Where the hell yall was at. In the Xbox one S thread he just had a nervous breakdown with @Fatboi1 then in the PC thread he stated he is done he don't want to be label as a racist by reddit communities and communities all across the world.

He said he don't want the FBI knocking on his door

internet is srs bizzness

 

[Mowgli]

Liquid cashed out on white privilege and doesn't want to be associated with you "people" anymore. He's not gonna fukk up his gig being Caucasian to post around you guys. One post from reddit overlords pinpointing his exact location and it's over. He made a good decision. Let people who aren't shook moderate thecoli.

If you want a true gamers paradise vote for me since I'll be putting free things in your hands and money in your pocket, if youre elite.
