Dude! Where you been? I've asked myself the same question over the last few years. Lotta key players just faded away, nothing that great lasts forever. There's a few OGs still around, but it is very tame. Now that you've returned, go ahead a start some shit. I got your back...
It’s true, you never see a mod in getting on to anyone anymore. I mean is Sunni still here ? I miss Bob and Gary and Indacouch and Mr. sunshine and…………….

Nah it's as simple as state your argument without the ad hominem attack.

Or even hint at anything that could subjectively considered political (outside its subforum)
Or trying to discern socks, or...

I'm not complaining. This is a privately owned forum and it can run however its owner likes. But you have to admit it is really tame compared to what it was pre-pandemic. It seemed like everyday I'd wake up to pages of the craziest and most contentious (and most entertaining) shit imaginable from really intelligent and creative people. I'd hurry to save pages to my pc because I knew it would soon disappear (rightfully, I suppose). And these members' private feuds and vendettas were priceless. It was fun to flirt and get racy pics of members in my PMs. I'm not saying it is worse now, but it is less exciting imho...

you are though and have been for a while

Heres my take on it

What you have here is an old fucking forum you cant expect people from 2006 to be here in 2024, most people move on, die, or just dont use forums anymore

its not simply "the mods suck" its an amalgamation of things most people arent going to sit here for 20 fucking years doing the same shit

As for the modding ive been a mod since idk 2010?

This was plenty before prepandemic, we delete things outside tos that has been the same since i joined in 2008.
People who had numerous post deletions for dick picks etc, ended up getting banned you can only post so much against the rules before having to be banned.

they burned themselves.

Riu mods arent the problem, s its the people breaking the rules. you get like 6 fucking chances to stop and each month one of those warnings drops off every 30 days so it takes alot to get banned, (if youre a real user not spam etc)

not exactly an RIU mod problem at that point,

Additionally
We all have also gotten older, so no ones sending nudes anymore, you have to remember most of us have been here over a decade, we arent young as we once were

also revenge porn tactics are shit peoples views on the matter have changed as we grow older realizing now that some of us have kids this shit we did back in 2010 was asshole. and we shouldnt do it anymore.

and than theres the users you guys seem to love who genuinely arent good people, people who beat dogs, cage women and beat them up you all seem to idolize, people who literally send death threats, dox people for your enjoyment you think is good and that makes some people question just how safe this place is from others.


Statistically riu is larger than before, people just arent interesting in coming on here for chatting anymore like they did when forums were big, in general

its not about moving all the time to different forums, it just the forum is mostly based in grower questions now

But especially this ^^

Or trying to discern socks, or...
When you're trying to 'discern' a sock and we tell you it's not (because we can see that) and you continue it's not discerning a sock it's harassing a RIU member.

We don't allow that and never did, did some get through, sure. Same as now.
