...Will always be remembered as the day when BD8 bravely set his dude eyes upon disgusting scat pornography, along with other unpleasant things.
It's not always easy to be a mod.
May his soul rest in peace.

That shit was nasty.

Subject [BDE] was spotted invoking the rarely seen <PAGE LOCK> ability, in contrast to the much more commonly seen <THREAD LOCK>.
As highlighted in another post prior to the reversion, incidental events should not be confused for primary/prevalent themes.
Perhaps @Tamerlane was onto something with his Crusade Against Yuri (rapid shippers, not the original work itself).

 

[Richman]

I didn't know mods possessed such power.

 

[Tamerlane]

Still wanted an alternate universe story where Yukata and the MC were a couple instead because I like their chemistry better

And now we know. Speaking of which...

Holo, the original creator of this website, denied the existence of a secret counter:

I repeat, there's not such a thing as a secret counter of user misdeeds on MangaDex.

_{(edit: fixed the date)}

 

[blackyawgdom]

Everybody knows its not a counter on Mangadex. Its a giant gdoc linked in their secret discord channel.

If a comment gets modded, the mods just use a monkey and a dart board to decide on whether or not the actual poster gets banned from commenting. It's true, I read it in a book once.

Kafka got demoted from the lofty position in Public Relations to a mere Forum Moderator, leaving Henny_ all alone.

R.I.P. the OG goon squad.

 

[Richman]

Oh? That looks like a weird thing to happen.

 

[justforthelulz]

@Richman
I bet it was the literal shitposter that caused The Big Man Upstairs to make hasty additions to the Mod Squad.
Couple that with JB's demise, since fewer PR Goons were needed on the non-Payroll.

Gentlemen, we may have a potential case of desertion here.

 

[Ivegotnolife]

So, the malicious trouble makers from the dead sites might try to stir up trouble here, and they're bulking up the forum's lines of defense? Fine with me as long as it's not the start of a anti-necro crusade!

Is there an official explanation on this anywhere? (Not like staff has to explain role changes tho, just wondering.)

 

[Halo]

@bigtiddyoneesan

Is there an official explanation on this anywhere?

No, which makes it so much better for theorizing.

And while we're at it:

 

[Richman]

this is so sad can we hit 50 likes?
pray for mods 1 like 1 pray

 

[pandascepter]

@Halo
Perfect.
