It would make things easier for the mods and provide a place for some entertaining reading for those looking to kill a little time. 🆒 ---

We already have one, it’s between Starbucks and the bowling alley, just down the hall a bit. ---

There’s currently 3 active threads in ATMB. You think it would be easier for the mods to split off the 2 moderation complaint threads into their own little forum? Your thread would be all alone in here. ---

Your thread would be all alone in here. No, because by creating a separate dedicated sub-forum for this, it would be overtly and actively _encouraging_ people to post their modding complaints, so there would be threads there by the dozens. The would give the mods all the jobs security they could hope for. So what are they waiting for? ---

To be paid, so that their job security is more than a guarantee of thankless service and being the target of raging internet pseudo-angst? Seriously, under the current conditions, I wouldn’t take their job at gunpoint. ---

In the future, please don’t use that j_o_b word. The mods have been conditioned to believe serving the [del]raging[/del] teeming millions is a privilege, and that “word” might get them thinking otherwise. ---
