Grace Edwards92 said:Plus, let's be real—the KGB subforum is one of the most active spots on the site, and there are plenty of veteran users hanging around who might actually jump on this if we give them a reason. For the first round, I’d suggest offering a one-day ban reduction to anyone who puts together a little write-up on the assigned topic. No fancy polls or contests needed, just a simple entry, provided they don't go around calling out specific users or mods. It would be a great way to test the waters and see if people actually have the interest to write.
Jose Miller3 said:Ugh, I didn't think you were trying to rip someone off, seriously. It just felt weird because I've never heard anyone call it a lexiconom—I've always just known it as a "memorialist"—so I was stuck wondering if we were even talking about the same thing or if you had something totally different in mind...🤷
For us, the Lexicon was basically a little notebook filled with about twenty specific questions that everyone would answer, whereas the Memorialist was more of an open journal where anyone could doodle or leave whatever kind of message they felt like.
Personally, I think an interview sounds way more engaging because you can tailor the questions to the specific person. It’s much better than having some memorialist just churn out twenty identical questions that everyone else has to answer regardless of who they are. Honestly, I was thinking we could actually do interviews with the forum members who have already filled out the memorialist, but we'd need to make sure the questions are deep enough to really kickstart a broader conversation. 😁
Christian Myers said:Are these new moderation rules just for the FBI section, or do they apply to all the other subreddits too? Honestly, I actually like the sound of these changes in theory, but I guess we'll have to wait and see how things play out in practice. Good luck to the new moderators—hopefully, the rest of us can still jump in whenever we have some advice or a fresh idea to share!
Those specific rules only apply to threads regarding the growth and development of the subreddit found right here on this sub. Any appeals or similar topics opened up in this area will still be handled according to our usual, old-school standard rules. 🙂
Look, let's stop with the vague complaining. If you actually have a specific grievance, please just start a new thread and include all the necessary links and evidence following the guidelines in this PDF. Right now, you're just cluttering things up with off-topic chatter.
Nathan White29 said:Do you guys on the mod team actually have any way of seeing who has put whom on their ignore list?
Generally speaking, no, we don't track that—it’s really not our business and it doesn't impact how we make our calls. If someone is being abusive toward you, just go ahead and report them. Please try to avoid throwing out vague accusations, though, because that doesn't really help anyone solve anything.
Nathan White29 said:So, I was browsing the conspiracy theory thread over on the COVID subforum, and I spotted this latest post from Jack Ward82. Even though he knows he's on my ignore list, he still went out of his way to mention me. Why on earth do the moderators let this kind of thing slide?
Look, just because you've decided to put someone on your ignore list doesn't mean they have to do the same for you, nor does it strip them of their right to quote you or address you directly. Your ignore list is strictly your own business—it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights at all.
Alexander Adams94 said:Honestly, I’ve been craving some more substantial discussions over on other parts of the site lately. I’m just not really feeling those empty, mindless threads over in the off topic section anymore. As for the man cave, I don't hang out there all that often, but I have to admit that seeing all those women posting suggestive photos and stripping down really gets on my nerves—so I'd rather just stop looking at it altogether. It’s become pretty clear to me that the "partiality" rule doesn't just apply to my own username, but to anyone else using my account too. So, with this move, I’m officially stepping back from participating in any written discussions in both the off topic and man cave subforums.
Fair enough, I've given you the partiality treatment for both the man cave and the off topic boards.
I can definitely send over those partials from the PDFs, but just a heads-up—the ground rules are the exact same as when a moderator steps in to assign them. That means you can't be jumping in there using clone accounts, and technically, the mods have the final say; if you change your mind after they've made a call, they might just block you from moving those partials around.
Your first thread got pulled because it was getting a bit too personal with the attacks. If you just file a polite complaint, they'll likely get it back up for you. Besides, if you look at the mod list, it's pretty clear that KLCCLK isn't actually in charge of moderating the Banned Corner area.
Adam Alvarez81 said:So, can someone tell me why my Signature was deleted?
Since we don't actually have access to a signature history log here, our usual routine is to just note down when a user's signature gets pulled so we can keep track of who designed what. Looking at your profile right now, there isn't anything listed, so I'm completely in the dark about who removed it or what the reasoning was. However, if you could just describe exactly what that signature looked like, I'll do my absolute best to dig into it and figure out why it was taken down for you.
That post was a total ad hominem attack, so there’s a good reason why it got nuked. Honestly, please don't go harassing people just because a post got taken down, especially when you know perfectly well it didn't follow the rules.
Feel free to drop some links along with your post to back up what you're saying—it really helps us know exactly where to look:

• Try to phrase your titles so it’s crystal clear who you’re complaining about and why [PDF filename - Moderator username - the issue]. Doing this makes your report pop for the right people, which means you'll get a response much faster. In your opening post, please lay out the specific reason for your complaint with a bit of context, and include direct links to the problematic posts or threads.
• If a thread is too vague and we can't tell what the actual issue is, we won't be able to resolve it, and it might just end up getting locked.
If there's any way at all to sneak into the private messages of my own banned accounts—seriously, if anyone knows how to pull that off, please let me know—I’d be forever grateful. If that's just not an option,
then I am humbly asking the admin team, if there's any way you could possibly grant me temporary access to some of my old profiles, even if it's just for five minutes. I have several old accounts that were banned, and they contain data that is absolutely vital to me. I used to keep everything organized in digital notes, but some hackers wiped everything clean, so this is literally my last resort for getting that info back. Honestly, I just need to peek at the messages, grab what I need, and then you can ban them all right back into oblivion. I have a few different profiles, but one in particular is extremely important. If there is any way to make this happen, it would mean the world to me. 🙂 I can send over the links if that helps.
On a side note, I was wondering if the moderators happen to have a record of all my old alt accounts? If so, could you send that list my way? Since those hackers burned through everything I had, I'm feeling pretty lost and can't remember all the details.
Shoot me a DM with more details about those alt accounts.
