Is my keyboard acting up? 😕

Wait, where did I even say I wanted to be a moderator? 😕

analoglynx23, don't be like those people who beg for permanent bans just to get off the forum. If the garbage doesn't suit you, then stop posting. Go back to wherever you were during those months you were gone. 😉

Honestly, since you left, not a single decent trash post has been made. 😢 Trash went into a deep winter sleep the moment you walked out—now we're all wondering if it'll ever actually wake up.

Your post is right up there with those "things were better back in the good old days" ramblings.

I especially love this part:

when I left, I handed over a subforum that wasn't exactly booming, but at least there were some basic rules of conduct in place. maybe my mistake was not being blunt enough about the fact that when the crew starts acting out, a mod needs to hand out a few virtual slaps—keep things organized, put posts where they actually belong, and then sit back with a cold beer and a smile while reading the thank-you notes from grateful forum users and their even more grateful assets.

Ivo, is that you? 😲

Anyway, not to drone on too long—if things had been moderated properly from the jump, we wouldn't be here. It’s like letting a kid get away with small tantrums until you eventually end up with an absolute brat. Something like that. 😍

EDIT_A This "Trash Forum User" comment—wtf? Are moderators not forum users? 🤔

Now they’ll let us stew on this topic for a few days—just enough time for everyone to drop a handful of pointless comments. Then, someone will inevitably post a few red-flagged nonsense threads over on Trash... and then, boom, they'll lock the whole thing down again. :baba Vanga: 😍

swiftcrane96, don't even start with the trolling. 😉 👋

hollowsailor48, it’s funny how you’re nowhere to be seen on Trash—not moderating for ages, really—but the second a thread pops up on PŽK, there you are with a fresh batch of apologies explaining why you can't moderate. Also, it’s pretty interesting how you slapped me with a red flag during the last campaign just for an "oversized image." 🙂
Look, nobody is questioning your private life. 🤷 What’s actually being questioned here is the lack of moderation. If you’ve got issues, or you’re too busy, or whatever—just step down.
Unless, of course, the moderators have some secret privileges that us mere mortals aren't privy to. 🤔

So go ahead—post a few more bad takes alongside my (admittedly unrelated) questions, and then lock the thread again. 👋

Look, obviously things aren't going to improve overnight—but it’s been two and a half months since the last thread with this exact same content, and somehow the situation has actually gotten worse. How many more months are we supposed to wait?

You were predictably "creative" with your wording, turning it into:

Just because you don't notice it doesn't mean nothing is happening—and frankly, I prefer working behind the scenes anyway.

Those low-effort posts, the off-topic rambling, and all that—it isn't exactly invisible. You only have to glance at the last few pages of this thread to see it.
As for that "working behind the scenes" bit—that's one hell of a shadow if all three of you are "hiding" in it. 🙂

Nicholas King laid out the problem quite clearly, yet you still haven't given him an answer. 😉

No offense, but I haven't seen you actually moderating—or anyone else, for that matter.

Are we all just playing pretend as moderators behind the scenes?

Lately, it feels like every other post in the top three threads is either: a) completely irrelevant to the trash being discussed, b) total off-topic nonsense, or c) straight-up breaking the rules.

P.S. Please, try to be a bit more creative than "Just because you didn't notice doesn't mean..." 😉

I honestly don't get why the current non-moderators won't just step down and hand the reins to someone who actually has the bandwidth. I get that they're busy—really, I do—but then who's picking up the slack? What's the incentive here? Are they getting free points in their DM, a moderator discount at Billy, or maybe a summer vacation in San Diego? 😕 😳

It’s been two and a half months since I first opened this thread (and subsequently saw it shut down) due to the complete lack of moderation regarding Garbage—so here I am, reopening it, because absolutely nothing has changed. Or has it!? 🤔 I’d go as far as to say things have actually gotten worse.
Beyond the fact that the current moderators aren't even doing their jobs—they don't even acknowledge our reports on indecent posts. 🙂

Surprise me and don't just lock the thread immediately. Or better yet, don't do what happened last time—drop a few red warnings and then vanish into thin air again. 🙄

Look, kid, you've got a problem. Go check out WebMD. 😉

What a topic! 🤣 🤣 🤣

I honestly think we should just ban the younger generations from using the letter 'w'.
At least until they hit 18... ☕ 🙄
And then, if they still insist on it...

...hey... don't go... getting worked up if... nobody gets you.......
.....true geniuses are... always... misunderstood.....
don't you think?
