First Question: What is the meaning of IB to you?
It is a forum for brainfarts and quick hits. A communal blog where people can post stuff and shoot the shit without all the P.C./Sensitivity/Censoring bullshit (Save we don't break the rules of the site itself, natch).
Question 2: What do you believe your role as a moderator should be?
Boot people who step out of line and keep things chill.
Question 3: This comes from animefreak and it's a 2 part question. How should new users be treated in IB and how could you as a moderator accomplish a smooth transition?
New users should take the Jane Goodall approach to I.B. and learn through observation. We've all got lives (most of us, anyways) and don't have the time to tutor greenhorns. They've got to find their own way.
First rule of course is tough skin; when we tell you to get the fuck out, don't cry like a bitch or make pathetic attempts to troll- just get the fuck out and lurk more.
Or just actually get the fuck out. If repeated attempts of mingling here don't work out, it simply means we are not of your kind. Just like any social circle. You'll know if you don't fit in, so try somewhere else. Fakku has tonnes of other sections. Your people are out there- it is up to you to find them.
