I know megathreads can feel kind of impenetrable, but I think most are pretty good at explaining in-jokes or references to earlier stuff if people ask. Maybe codifying that as a rule could help? Something like "If someone is new to a thread and asks questions try to help them get up to speed," maybe?

Maybe like a yearly refresher or something, I dunno, it probably depends more on how fast the thread moves than any kind of actual page count metric or something. Like how TFF will have threads that cover a week during the season because lots of stuff happens and then there's a thread for the whole offseason.

Yeah, this is something we try to do but can definitely lag on or forget about. Having it vary as needed by thread topic makes sense. One of my favorite threads is the Critterquest thread, and instead of rebooting it we've been renaming it, which I think works well for that thread.

It's a good way to explain inside jokes too because reboots I've seen in places like Traditional Games have had a lot of collaboration for the new OP. Like, the Sardines thread has been plugging along since 2015, if it got rebooted it could lead off with brand recommendations or recipes from the previous thread.

Nooner posted:Lol Spinz got probated again because Dunno if it's them specifically but there are a ton of posters and mods on SA who just have zero drat chill about anything. At worst Spinz has a dumb harmless eye rolling shtick. Scroll past if a 50 something lady brings up her sex life too much. Plenty of other posters have harmless things they love talking about too. Ignore it if you think its stupid. But goons can get so self righteous over dumb poo poo I swear some can only get an erection if they are dog piling someone no matter what if they are "wrong". (Like I've felt bad for future permabanned idiots I had on Ignore because some clown decided they were being heroes for endlessly riding their rear end.) Overall though GBS is fine. I read the threads I like, don't read ones I don't, sometimes share or mock stuff on Discord. Jobs a goodun. The slur thing is kinda dumb imo. I mean if the words are used it generally is an indicator the user might be an rear end in a top hat but do we need to probate or even waste time reporting it? (Unless it would be even more of thread derailment every time someone does it... yall mods n iks n admins can debate that. I'm a weirdo who wants to keep a low post average thus whenever I post I make too big posts like this.) Also don't care if Slmug is mod or not and unless Teen Witch actually was forcing mod challenges n crap I thought she was a fine IK. (But if she was doing challenges that's sad. Mod challenges should only be for comedy purposes.) But I mostly read and only post a bit in Retro and Trad Games so my thoughts probably should be taken with this in mind. Ps: "Wake up your dog" was best GBS thread ever imo.

Okay! Just worked out, showered, here to answer your questions.isaboo posted:a lot of goons are terrible at curating and moderating their own forum experience. shocking. This isn't a bad idea, but not something we can implement. I'd recommend asking astral if this can be added to the gigantic list of poo poo that he needs/wants to do Slugworth posted:Every forum and thread is for everyone. They can still be brigaded though. Intent and context matters. But I would say more GBS posters should post there, especially if they're concerned their voices aren't being heard. This is a correct idea. Look, they're gonna talk poo poo whether or not you post there. That's just a given. However, your voice does matter, as much as you may not think so. I will emphasize that you please follow the rules of SAD if you do, however. In conclusion, Treecko posted:OK, real post. I mean it is and it isn't. The internet is, and largely has been, the wild west. We're wilder than most, but there's still a limit to where I think a line could be. We want this to be a fun, safe place to post. GBS for posting, FYAD for flamewars. So it has been, so it shall always be. bagmonkey posted:Suggestion: Rotating stickied threads that are for making funny jokes and content. Pick a topic and let goons have it, basically a Photoshop Friday thing except its all week long and its for jokes not necessarily slick photoshops (I fuckin suck at photoshop) This is a good, fun idea! I like this and this is something we can implement immediately. Bad Purchase posted:every gbs post should be required to contain a slur Sorry, request denied. Too much effort here and it'll just go bad and then everyone will be sad and I don't want sad posters! Smugworth posted:What if we all posted for fun and had fun posting together This is the worst suggestion in the thread by far. Utter, complete dogshit. I cannot believe you posted these words, looked at them and determined that this was a correct and good thing to post. I have immediately applied for a 100k probe, and may God have mercy on your soul. Charles Bukowski posted:
omg kitty! so beautiful and pure! Con-cat-ulations! PureEvil6_13 posted:Remember when low effort threads were discouraged so there wouldn't be so many posts of 'I farted' and 'I had a taco for lunch" etc.? I do, but honestly, I personally want more threads to break up the "front page is all megathreads" feel. There's a limit to how low effort one can go before it's poo poo, but like Justice Potter Stewart said, "I'll know it when I see it" Katamari Democracy posted:GBS is just fine. Thank you! I hope that it remains that way for a long time to come. Nooner posted:Can I be a mod for the pellet palace? Done. Congratulations to mod Nooner! ....aaaaaaaaand he goatsed the mod forum. That was quick. Drone_Fragger posted:Indulge nom by bringing in the reverse GBS challenge. He can clone a thread into gbs from another sub, and if it does better here than the original, by the standards of the original subforum regulars, then he gets to buy one custom title. Otherwise he wins a lifetime posting award (11 year probe) hahaha honestly, this kind of rules. There's no penalty for a poo poo thread other than a gas, but I kind of like this idea! Anyway I'm starving I gotta eat I'll be back later but thanks to everyone who's contributed so far! This has actually exceeded my expectations tbh

I feel like Lowtax made a subforum for every type of posting he didn't feel like seeing in GBS so people would focus on threads he could mine for front page content. Now we have no front page and GBS is 90% megathreads that could just as easily be dumped into CCCC. We need something here that actually encourages posting from new people.

Slugworth posted:I can't wait to see what you've got for us. SA needs to go all in on the app. Let it rise from the ashes of twitter, meta, and other false platforms. Plus if we are all on the app we can have a better shared interactive experience. For example, you can post “oval office” but when you do the app plays “YA COOOOOOOOONT”. You can’t mute it, the app controls all.

ninjoatse.cx posted:Checking the SAD change log thread, we have: Please note that this is not official GBS policy; this is just me spitballing. Like Fritz said, it's a judgment call. To me, in general, if it's not going to be funny to a majority of people (Ukraine thread excepted where there are special rules and if you post death to be funny or interesting then you earn a nice shiny red X) then I wouldn't post it. I'm hesitating to say specific things because I'm not sure you're aware but there are a lot of lawyers on this forum that come out of the woodwork when they get probed and start arguing nuance, plus it'd probably be a constantly updated list Seth Pecksniff fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Mar 23, 2023 |

It feels like "Am I willing to bet $10 that this joke/video is good?" is a good metric to apply to avoid punishment on the second point. And probably one I should have followed more often myself. I assume if Zelenskyy stomps on Putin with his new Ukrainian Gundam or Elon livestreams himself getting Nedelin'd or Trump shits himself to death on live television, you might be able to slide by posting the video for a brief moment since it'll be newsworthy and funny enough.
