Poll of the Day > Have mods finally started caring about CE people coming here?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is that what's going on?

Maybe the topics were actually getting reported. Im pretty sure the mods dont actively scout boards to find posts that need to be removed.

Nah, with how quickly helly was s*** on last night, there's someone here.

It wasn't me

Also who tf would be petty enough to report someone from another board posting here smh

I think that was the quickest I've seen a thread deleted lol, was wondering why I couldn't post something in it.

Have mods finally started caring about CE people coming here?

People probably started marking them.

In the old days, any topic with "Hi, I'm from [insert other board here]" as a title or in the initial post generally got modded pretty quickly for "board invasion" (even if it really wasn't much of an "invasion", per se), mainly because that shit could get ugly really quick, and it was always in everyone's best interests to clamp down on it ASAP.

I think enforcement of that grew more and more lax over the last few years mainly because board invasions sort of died out as a thing as most users just sort of stopped caring, but it never really stopped being a thing in the ToS.

If a spate of those sorts of topics started riling up PotDers, it wouldn't take much effort for even just a few people to start marking them all, pushing them right up the queue to the top, where they'd get (rightly) modded in a "fair, next" sort of scenario. You don't really need an active mod deliberately patrolling the board for that - we've sort of demonstrated in the past that we're very, very good at getting topics deleted when they sort of annoy us on a PotD group identity sort of level (or when the user in question is just hated by like 80% of the board and everyone is actively looking to torpedo them).

They started mirroring out boards in the CE board. Also, Muffinz0rz is trying to combine both boards and take over...

board invasion is dumb. I still remember getting warned for posting on a game board. someone here linked to a topic on a game board. a bunch of potders went. I did too and just read the discussion, and then actually got into it, and posted something as part of the conversation not even mentioning I was from PotD. and the mod warned me for invasion. the fucked up thing is it would have been possible though maybe unlikely that I hadn't even seen the link topic here and just naturally was on that board. the mod had no proof. but i freely admit I followed the link, but I do not admit I had any malicious intent. the people there didn't even know. so it hurt nobody. I just wanted to be in the conversation and I got punished for it. board invasion is a very stupid rule.

It's a win-win
