That's our "Director of Trust and Safety" not logging in for nearly a month, with karma too low to even request stickies (100) were he a regular user.
Not to defend them or anything, but admins have some ability to ghost login. Back when they were taking "feedback" for the CE/politics changes, I noticed one of the admins made a post on like May 10th, but their last login was May 9th or something like that.

Having said that, I agree wholeheartedly with your point.

It is unlikely timmy handles much of gfaqs. He handles fandom in a broader sense and fandom is fucking huge.

I doubt hes clicked back in for awhile.

I cant say for certain but considering they all hang out on discord, my guess is that is where the fandom admins actually communicate primarily with each other.

How it probably goes when the "community manager" has to occasionally check in on GameFAQs and give status updates to the big Fandom guys.

Here is what it looks like with limited amount of adblock running. It still blocked 17 ads. But if I wanted to get high on gummies, Fandom has me covered.

I haven't been following this thread at all, but today, on my laptop, I had an ad within an ad. As in there was a video ad playing in the corner of where space for a forum post should be, and then there was a banner ad that was overlaid *on top of* the video ad.

Like, I get plastering many ads, but covering up ads to display other ads?

I just want to say mobile GameFAQs is basically completely unnavigatable without some form of ad blocker now. A link pops up. It's unavoidable and takes up a full one third of the screen. There's an x in the upper right corner of the ad. I click on it. I click directly on the fucking x. It opens the ad anyway. And I know I'm not fat fingering it either. The hit box for closing the ad is just ridiculously small. They're artificially gaining clicks for their utter bull shit ads by annoying the hell out of casuals who just want to browse the website without intrusive advertisements. Fandom can eat every bag of dick.

I'll also add that sometimes there are two X-buttons on the ads but only one of the X-buttons works.

There are also some ads that play an "animation" where they appear to rise from the bottom of the page, but they're actually loaded the whole time and they're just using transparency to make it look like nothing's there, so they trick you into clicking the space that you think is empty but you're actually clicking the ad.

Worse than a porn site. At least there you can post pictures of attractive women. The ads here are hornier than most users ever were here.

Not that I've seen an ad for years, because fuck Fandom.

Just had one of these where they got 3 clicks out of me before I was able to close it on the 4th try. I swear the X is inaccurately positioned.

Hey Everyone!

My name is Dylan Host. I am 26 and live in the extreme cold that is Minnesota. Im the Community Manager of Safety for Fandoms Community Safety team joining back in December 2021. Im responsible for overseeing the SOAP team, who monitors and protects against vandalism and spam on the platform. I also manage the JavaScript review process to protect users and wikis against any malicious code. Additionally, Im an advocate for building out the Dev wiki which is the destination for people looking to take a deeper dive into coding.

Im a massive fan of gaming and entertainment. Most of the games I play are grand strategy games or RPGs but Im down to try out anything. Show wise it can vary but Im really into The Last of Us. Currently, Im playing Wartales, Age of Empires 4, Expeditions: Rome, and really want to get Atomic Heart.

Im really excited to have the opportunity to introduce myself to the community and cant wait to be involved with you all more. Ive always been a user of GameFAQs and Im extremely grateful for the chance to provide more support to it.

So far my current plans are to get up to speed with the community and get on board with the moderators. But as things develop I will certainly share more.

My intention is to empower you all and provide you with additional resources. My commitment to you is that our communities are our first priority in every decision we make and that your voices will be heard throughout. You can message me here or on any other platform DToast being my username on all of them(Discord DToast#2834). I encourage anyone to message me with concerns, issues, or questions. As the SOAP team can attest to Im pretty much up all hours of the day and try to make an effort to follow up even if I am busy or I dont have a direct answer at that moment.
You know, I really never gave much thought or care to DToast's introductory post. But damn if he wasn't full of a lot of shit.

Fuck fandom.

Haha knowing what we know now that reads so much like meeting the new boss who talks to you like a friend and says they're on your side but they're actually little more than a corporate robot and will throw you and everyone you love so far under the bus the instant it's even remotely beneficial to them.
