An easy, efficient way to admin on a server.

I generally keep muted the channels that aren’t frequently spoken in, although I do periodically check them anyway so that I don’t miss something. I spend time in most of the popular channels (there’s one for Loki on this server, and I don’t have… what is it, Disney+? whatever you need to have a subscription for to access Loki, although I would like to watch it at some point, maybe when it comes out on Blu-ray or DVD). So far, all I’ve done as admin is make sure that people censor or spoil certain words as it relates to a part of the Supernatural fandom that I need to take the time to dedicate an entire post to, and pinned the times for episode rewatches in the channel where those are discussed as we’re (in most cases, re)watching an episode. I pinned for UTC -5 (my time zone, so easy to do most of the math off of) and UTC 0 by looking at the time zone roles and seeing which ones stood out as the most popular. It had yet to be pinned, so hey.

So far, this has been easier than I thought, but it may also play to my strengths of being able to help people.

It’s a widely held joke that the Supernatural fandom has drama that “spans extra seasons”, although if you’re involved in the actual fandom itself, it’s not so much joke as it is fact that is that easy to observe.
