Temp mods?

Proposal to fix the quality of the History subforum.

Right now, the only person actually moderating the History section is Zoran Oštrić.
Out of the three official moderators listed, he’s basically the only one doing any actual work.

I’m suggesting that Administration steps in and implements a new management model for the History subforum (including its two sub-sections) by appointing two interim co-moderators. This would create some much-needed balance and finally take the massive weight off Zoran Oštrić's shoulders—honestly, his constant grind is starting to wear down the whole system here at the forum.

These interim co-mods could be hand-picked by Administration, or better yet, the History community itself could vote them in through an open application process and a poll.

The History section absolutely needs a balanced moderation team.
Having just one moderator isn't enough—especially not someone who tends to run things like a private club.

Please, seriously, give this proposal some thought.

Another poll? 🤔

Look, I’d like to put forward a suggestion for my colleague Kiseli1, and frankly, I’m more than willing to lend him a hand myself.
Jonathan Wright2 — what are your thoughts on this?

It’s a poll, a referendum, a damn plebiscite at this point.
Look, let’s be real—this forum isn't some democratic powerhouse where we all get a vote; it’s run whenever the mods or the admins feel like it. But hey, if we want to actually make this place better and improve the quality of the site, maybe we should try to find some kind of common ground through consensus.

So, you got a candidate in mind?

Jonathan Wright2—what’s your take on this?

Personally, I’m against it.
Why? Simple.
You guys are way too close ideologically, and honestly, that kind of echo chamber is just counterproductive for the group as a whole...

And you, bluecyclist64—look, I know you've got that flexible way of thinking, but if you actually stepped up, I feel like you'd just end up tearing half the forum apart immediately, which doesn't really help anyone in the long run...
You’re an asset to this community just as you are.
Don't change a thing.

AndrejX stepped up to help and is basically "sweeping" VPiT away. All credit to the "new broom."

Look, I’m thinking we should just let the regular users throw their hats in the ring, or maybe even just vote on a few names from within the community itself... Either way, we definitely need two more co-mods over on the History subforum.
We need some actual balance if we want this place to stay high-quality.

Jonathan Wright2 said:I would suggest that (...)

To unknown: you’re a proven fraud and a faker, so you don't have any business making suggestions. Just stop with this nonsense of yours.

Arthur Smith15 said:Look, you're a proven fraud and a total hack, so don't even think about offering suggestions—just quit with this nonsense already.

My bad if I'm being a nuisance, I wasn't sure if you were even reading this...

Fine, if you want to cast me as the villain and the con artist in your little world, then fine—be that way. Just get one thing straight: don't come crawling to me when you need help.
I'm not your guy for that.

You’re basically stripping away my right to suggest ways to actually make this forum better, all while you indulge in this childish, ego-driven lecturing just to feel superior to everyone else here..

Just knock it off and grow up..👍

Jonathan Wright2 said:Just knock it off and get a grip..👍

How about you fix yourself first? 🙂
If this is how you write when you're actually thinking straight, then changing is the only option left.

Joseph Allen71 said:Well, why don't you just take a hike? 🙂
If this is how you're acting when you actually have your head on straight, then honestly, you need to change—it's basically mandatory at this point.

So, what exactly are you hoping to hear after all that?

Jonathan Wright2 said:Forgive me if I'm being a nuisance; I wasn't sure if you were actually following along... (...)

Of course I'm following—I'm keeping an eye on the frauds. The rule of law is absolute.

(...) I am a fraud and a counterfeiter in your world, be aware of that. (...)

No, you are a fraud and a counterfeiter, period.

Jonathan Wright2 said:What exactly are you hoping to hear after all this?

Pigs on the wing, since you asked.

If you really want to know what I’d like to read, it’s whatever comes next in this mess.
Thinking that "improving the quality of debate" means repeating that tired old joke about some idiot driving the wrong way on the I-95 isn't exactly high-level discourse.
But hey, feel free to keep picking on giants if it makes you feel better.

Arthur Smith15 said:Of course I’m following them—those total frauds. The NFL is the gold standard, period.

Oh, "fraud," he says... give me a break...

Arthur Smith15 said:No, you're the fraud and the counterfeiter, end of story.

Nah. You're just an asshole.

Joseph Allen71 said:Pigs on the wing.Well, since you're actually asking...

Thanks for the audio...

Joseph Allen71 said:If you're actually curious about what I’d be dying to read—honestly? It would be that second volume of the series. That's the only thing on my radar right now.
If you really want to level up the quality of the discussions around here—and I mean actually make things better instead of just circling the drain—you should try my favorite method: just constantly retell that old joke about the guy driving his sedan the wrong way down the interstate.
Look, I don't feel like holding back anymore—it’s time to go on the offensive. I don't even know where to start with this one—it’s just absolute madness. Honestly, I feel like I’m losing my mind just thinking about the sheer level of incompetence we're dealing with lately. It’s like nobody actually gives a damn anymore, you know? Everything is just... messy. It's a total disaster from top to bottom, and frankly, I'm exhausted just watching it unfold. I've been sitting here trying to make sense of it all, but the more I look, the more I realize how much of a joke the whole situation has become. It's frustrating, it's ridiculous, and quite honestly, it's just plain exhausting..

I've got nothing to say about this one. Honestly, just no comment.

Arthur Smith15 said:Of course I’m following them—they're nothing but frauds. The FCC is the final word on this.

No, you are a cheat and a forger, plain and simple.

And any sane person would have dealt with him long ago with a heavy hand.
But that progressive, eco-communist, deep-state operative unknown has intentionally left him languishing in this matrix where he can't even prove that the unknown actually liberated...
...something.
Because, let's be realistic—we are all trapped in the matrix, and the ultimate truth is whatever we imagine, because that is what we deserve...😵

Joseph Allen71 said:"Pigs on the Wing," if you must know.

If you want to know what I'd actually prefer to read, it would be a different set of instructions entirely.
Attempting to "improve" the quality of a debate by using the methods you deem appropriate is like retelling that old joke about the drunk driver heading the wrong way down an interstate.
But please, feel free to keep attacking the titans.

Unknown—thanks, buddy, but that's just called having good taste in music!👍

Same deal with the "auto" section—out of those three guys, one hasn't even touched a cash register in three years, the second one is just drifting around here and there, and the third? He does absolutely nothing at all.
