I'm also going to sticky a comment about moderating. Here goes:

Moderators have two jobs that cannot both co-exist and that are counter-opposed to one another. Yes, absolutely, we are responsible for the long-term health of the discussion on this board. We WANT hardcore participation, we turn ourselves inside out for it. But GAW will be proper fucked if we allow unwanted species to multiply freely—and here I mean the low-effort, low-info tards. Whatever you're hunting or trying to attract, you put 'bait' that attracts your target. To us, this is high-quality content. That's what we like to read, and that is the exact audience that Q chose in the first place. You were chosen for a reason.

Therefore, here on GAW, above all else, the mod focus is to target and encourage only the highest of high-effort, high-info posters who post real, provable, and research-backed comments and posts.

BUT mods ALSO have the unenviable task of weeding out the dreck, the driftwood, the casuals that through their effort levels demonstrate that they don't belong on GAW, they belong in Telegram groups, posting about how "rIDiCuLoUs" the lunar landers look and how Elon Musk can't break the firmanment.

Now, and I cannot stress this enough, but... screw every single one of these faggots.

It's an unpopular tactic even among our most dedicated users, but, the herd must be thinned, and mods also understand that they have to remove the dead weight and the lazy, here on GAW, as well.

Several challenges went out today, for instance, from the DEW thread, and the results in modmail have been predictable.

I'll say it again, for anyone in the back: GAW is an elite research board, not a digital daycare for low-effort, low-info fuckwits. If you happen to wander on the field, you have two choices—move the ball forward, help our narrative win, -OR- be prepared to be handed a Bud Light and moved to the nosebleeds where you belong.

I leave you with this: SOCIETY IS DEFINED BY WHAT IT DOES NOT PERMIT.

We are weaponized autists. We do not forgive. We do not forget. You cannot out-work or out-lift us. We will win ever single time because we are more devoted, dedicated, and well-informed than our enemies. Expect us.
