5-10 jannies is excessive given the size of our active membership IMO. As others have said 2-3 will be more than enough.

Having either mods or janitors is inevitable by this point, given the facts 40oz shared about his life. I guess 40oz is trying to achieve that while assigning the least power possible. I guess we shall just see whether that works?
Note on branding people "Losers", though - I find it a bit harsh to have "Loser" placed under one's username. That's one tradition inherited from doomworld of old times that might not be so well received by those not accustomed to it. "Muted" is fine, because that doesn't pass on judgement or degrade, just a notice about action that taken place. Whereas "loser" is hard to perceive as not degrading.
Given the temporarily nature of the action, and possible mistakes in when it is used, I would suggest using "Quarantined" as a custom title for those restricted to post in "Losers" subforum. The subforum needs not renamed because it is primarly about hosting closed threads that are completely in bad taste/obsolete, but the damn custom title under username better is.
Basically, reasoning: "quarantine" is what happens to person that has fell physically ill or has been in contact with ill person even if it might not have contracted illness, but suspected to be contagious. Being ill is not degrading, you get cured or cleared (no longer suspected) you rejoin the society.

@segfault Yes that's correct. BIG DICK NIGGA I understand. I'll keep it small for now. I'm predicting that the quantity of active moderators doesn't really matter. Since the moderators won't know who the others are, they don't get to deliberate about who should be the one to issue the mute. One of them has to step up and be the hero, and I'll review each case and decide if that moderator gets to keep their power. I have a lot of empathy for the members here, but I have ABSOLUTELY NO QUALMS about stripping moderators of their power. @vigilantdoomer I agree, Losers is degrading and it shouldn't be. Muted sounds good. Quarantined is ok but it's a little too clinical. I don't want to assume the position of the forum doctor and have to treat the patients. Here's something doom related, What do you think about calling it The D!Zone (since it's a lot of content and most of it isn't worth playing?)

What about "E3M2: Slough of Despair" instead?

D!Zone doesn't sound clear, what about calling it shovelware?

I like the D!Zone name (or maybe the Illusio-Pit if we're referring to shitty wads)

Nothing wrong with Losers. You have lost. You have fucked up. You have done something bad and ought to feel bad about it. If you are more concerned about being offended because a word hurt your fee fees than about - oh, I dunno - the fact that your behaviour is so fucking abhorrent that you are about to be banned from the only community willing to tolerate your bullshit then I don't know what to tell you.
There is no point in hitting someone with a warning if you coat the warning in fucking candy floss and pink pillows. This forum requires you to be an adult to post on it, it ought to expect people to behave like adults and not children.

Darknation speaking straight facts as always.
Although I still think anal paradise sounds a bit more catchy while essentially maintaining the connotation.

40oz (re: D!Zone) I believe that some members (especially newcomers) can fail to recognise the reference. It also requires some mental work to remember the member won't be responding, and doesn't inform of its meaning by itself. Might suggest "Arrested" - which also signifies that member is away from communication, has disciplinary action taken against them, but still does not sound as bad as loser. Or "Muted" could do indeed, but if there weren't two separate possible groups proposed, one for completely silencing another for sending users to rehabilitation center (basically). P.S. What kind of inside joke is making Xeep-eep a moderator? You guys like riding a dick or something?

D Zone is about as obscure of a reference as naming the off topic forum Thy Flesh Consumed. Also fuck them kids man, if they don't know what it is, they can "google" it as they call it.
As for the "inside joke", when 40 first mentioned the idea of "hiring" moderators in another thread, I offered to help because I unironically enjoy this forum. Plus I hear forum moderators make a handsome salary, so maybe I finally manage to find a gf that wears those tight black shiny faux leather pants, you know what I mean. God I want a gf that wears tight black shiny faux leather pants. Anyway for some reason everyone's taking it as a shitpost smh.

It's funny but I was serious. During recent bullshit Xeep told people to do better and did not pour gasoline on or participate in the ALM spam riot. He hasn't made topics dedicated to his mythical bodily proportions in a while and stolen valor poseur Tardlene should be paying him for sensual favors, which don't even have to be hardcore. One thing though. I just cannot remember what SMH stands for. Shit in My Hat just comes to mind. Which please, no one do.
EDIT: Rescinded due to meatspin.
How about indisposed instead of losers?

I feel like 40oz has just invented a new social deduction game. It is not the same game as secret hitler; it is an entirely different game called secret moderators. The only rules are that the moderators mustn't let themselves be discovered. I claim that I am not a moderator. This is obvious. I mean look at most post count. It's waaay waaaay too low. You can trust me.
I accuse the member 1984 of being a moderator. Why? Just think about it. This person has a zero post count so there's no reason to suspect them of a being a moderator. But that's precisely why they'd make a great secret moderator because no one would suspect them! You can't deny my logic is flawless.

Teheeheeeeeeeee. I like the high level concept a little too much. I approve, one way or another.
Some sort of rotating queue of Losers and Mods sounds kinda fun. A fun, little forum metagame... *grimaces*
If you're looking for alternative names for the "Losers" subforum, what about naming it "Wads", similar to "Dickwads"; so alongside the moderators, you end up with "Wads and Mods", so to speak.

JadingTsunamiThe panopticon is exactly what I thought of. I also considered that 40 didn't even appoint anybody as mods.

Humm idk boss, more moderation? I think we have enough but i'm not gonna lie; this secret ninja club idea sounds dope and i'm looking forward to get many shurikens stuck in my forehead.
Giving this kind of power to the old guard is the right way to go, imo.
I think that Joe and Xeep are the best options. These two are always around and most importantly: both have a heart of gold filled with cum.

more moderation? I think we have enough but Well, someone's going to act when forum becomes spammed all of sudden or other things? Admin's becoming more busy / has more responsibility attached to them in real life than hitherto. Plus, admin can't monitor forum for 24 hours, whereas having moderators from different timezones can provide full coverage. I, for example, sometimes wake up to seeing various shit happened while I was asleep, worse yet: started when I was asleep and escalated before I would wake up. Sometimes a whole user would register overnight and get flamed to death in his thread, and I don't like it when it happens, even though not a moderator. That is, there is a need to break up conflicts that can happen at any time of a day, even though they are a rare occassion.
