the way i personally see it is thus: Nobody owns a thread, nobody owns a board, the only people who own ILX are those who pay for it's servers. As long as everybody acts decent, it's cool. But even boards specifically made for people (77, 1p3, TMI, The Cape, heck I had the underused ILG Players Club) are not those people's boards. Mods aren't usurping anyone's power, they're serving to make an attempt to keep the dialogue neutral and open and posi and they'll prune anything/one required to keep that the status quo, up to and including board and site mods.
but i'm just a guy

^^^this is fine and all but its kinda boring, mod terrorism on the subboards can b kinda fun. just feel like iltmi is a special case bc it has a specifici function wrt things ppl obviously wanna have real convs abt that other ppl might wanna avoid bc of nsfw/squeamish/prudishness w/e

plax is right, no one talks about anything very serious on 1p3 and no one gets seriously butthurt when they are occasionally lolbanned or their threads are locked. on the other hand, for whatever reason, people really were into discussing the color of their poop, so kate's totaliatarian leanings are a little less endearing and she shouldn't be a mod unless she can chill out a little

"Mod terrorism" as practiced on IRE, IP3, ITR, etc still promotes and encourages discourse and, as such, isn't contradictory towards anything Forks said.
I disagree that donating money buys you a stake in ILX btw.

iirc the last fundraiser we had happened real fast and some people who wanted to contribute didn't get a chance, but those issues aside it's an irrelevance - ILX has always been much more than the sum of the regrettably necessary dirty finance it occasionally has to dabble with

"You have tried to insert a duplicate message"
has potential as a meme, with the right decisions made early on in the effort
