I think it’s seriously time to talk about elections for this site. I know site admins are hesitant because they may lose power, but doesn’t the very fact that you fear that outcome mean that you know deep down that the tides have changed and the site is ready for new leadership? While there are specific mods who have done a stellar job and I admire their contributions to our burgeoning community, others have been divisive, acted immature and vitriolic, and generally have used their given powers in a hamfisted way that is off-putting to many of this site’s users. It would be a waste of my time to seek out examples of this behavior because for the admins in question, a quick glance at their recent history is enough to prove my points. Calls for elections come up pretty often and I genuinely believe that the users of this site should select our leadership.

    So? The stern, no bullshit banning site is a taste of what it’s like to live in glorious China. I am fine with it. Practice for when I move there eventually.
