Does this board need moderation?
More discussion of novelists and poets and less discussion of "lit humor", "redpill", general questions that are only slightly related to literature, & Science Fiction & Fantasy, I would think is needed for there to be a point to coming here in the first place.
Only if I get to mod
If you want more moderation go to reddit
I occasionally make blatant, completely unrelated to literature shitposts just to check if there are still mods left
I don't go on any board expecting serious discussion I just want to meme about things that interest me that normal people don't care about and to get recs. Why do you want serious discussion? At best you're going to get high school tier readings of authors who've been discussed to death by more competent people.
honestly this is good advice, I mostly just hang out on [s4s] cause there's not even a fiction of serious discussion, just funposting
>if you want less redditlike retardposting go to reddit
/r/literature is the reddit equivalent of Veeky Forums
It's all seriousposting and I don't like it
Mods are always a lowest common denominator thing. For some strange reason, the only people who want to be moderators tend to be internet circlejerk namefag type people, the kind of guys who hang out in discords and use tripcodes. They're always strangely Reddity, strangely unable to take a joke, and they always end up obsessively hating their userbase and jerking off to their authority over it.
Even now, the only moderation the board receives is that some mod will ban an obviously tongue-in-cheek joke post because he saw it in the report queue without knowing its context.
A janitor on the other hand is OK for deleting extremely off topic threads. If he gets overbearing, you can just complain on /q/ and (ideally) he'll lighten up a bit.
memes aside, we should claim the Veeky Forums board on 8ch and migrate there
