I'd probably do nothing. Except maybe mess with people like Kross does, but with less power.
I LOVE YOU KROSS.

With the two of us acting as double agents for the Brony Collective, we shall slowly but surely convert and assimilate the heretics to the path of pony. All shall join us or perish!saintdane05 said:

Everyone who makes a thread that really should be a reply to another thread but they wanted to make sure everyone saw their clearly extra-important opinion will be dragged out into the street and shot.

Or banned. I guess that's fine too.

Begin issuing warnings to anyone who uses the term "PC elitist". It's one of those over used terms used to broadly describe an entire group when it's really a vocal minority. I would also issue warnings for "console tard" but I don't see people throwing that around much.
I would make it to where once somebody has reached 20,000 posts, they will have every avatar show up as Justin Bieber (like the red button) until they quit the forums and go outside.
Also, Daystar's getting the banhammer for the lulz.

Come on, guys, nobody's falling for that anymore. Besides, I knew it was a joke the first time I saw it simply because I'm too sexy to be hated.JoJo said:
Ban no one, allow discussion, doubt, debate and people to be offended by those with different views, with no consequences.
Lock all the big bandwagon threads like gender questions, circumcision, gun laws and friend zoning.
I'd ban two topics from The Escapist's forums entirely.
Politics and Religion.
In my experience, making these subjects taboo in a public circle makes for much more civil discussions. No "EFF YOU, YOU PERSON OF A RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK WHICH IS CONTRARY TO MY OWN AND WHO DOES NOT ADHERE TO NEOLIBERALISM OR THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE OR WHATEVER ELSE!"
Apart from that, your standard funsies would be had.

I think they should work in numerical order from the first response until they reach the end of the thread. Considering Response #2 is "lock this thread", that means it wouldn't keep bumping while they're working.Kross said:Oh man oh man, so many options!JochemHippie said:
I think going through this thread and doing what each post says would be fun for such a person!
Systematically ban all of the staff members. Then ban myself. Maybe have a sandwich at some point while doing that.
I've seen people on several forums go from being perma-banned to being moderators or admins. Many times it even worked out, because they tend to be people who were really invested in the community. Though I can think of at least two times where a mod snapped and went scorched earth on the forums.Colour-Scientist said:
It's really difficult to find a good mod.
A mod that's less of a mediator at heart and more of a generally enthusiastic/helpful user will get quickly burnt out on the community they enjoy when the responsibility starts to feel like work. And the larger a community becomes, the tricksier the trolls get - they start setting subtler traps for the mods, which can be a bit stressful.
