hey seth, since mycophobia wants their thread in sad to be about the direction of gbs and not this thread i'll bring it here. when you said Seth Pecksniff posted:If you're worried that you're going to be retaliated against because you're a FYAD/IZ poster, I can assure you that's not the case. and people laughed at it, its because that sort of mentality is in the thread. edit - here's some examples of people doing just that sort of stuff to get it started MuadDib Atreides posted:THIS freakin style of posting! So much win. Not to mention the endless posting about video games and doxxxing speaks to a certain Je ne sais qua. You have my axe, and my sword. Make one of the mentally insane fyad hanger ons from the pyf thread mod of gbs. I will take my leave Chinatown posted:stux is the classic example of some random poster who posts about dweeb poo poo in Games or whatever and comes into SAD and GBS and just intentionally stirs up drama because they are pathetic turds. Solefald posted:Nah, you're just in the PYFQCSSADIZ crew Smugworth posted:Nom Epique got banned+7 days for mild trolling but the definitely not a crew crew gets buttmad over sixers for posting " GBS" BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:Dude, you’re part of the reason people think there are crews so maybe gently caress off? You mysteriously appear every time there’s drama in GBS so you can go “Hurf durf what’s the deal with GBS” and then all your buddies are in SAD screeching for justice minutes later. Maybe stop doing that and the crew bullshit will go away. like its pretty clear there's people who want to push the culture of 'our subforum vs some other subforum/user that's not a gbs regular' which is stupid and bad and shouldn't really ever be tolerated Mekchu fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jul 16, 2023 |

If posters pop in here just to poo poo up the thread and ignore the rules, nobody cares what other particular forums they post in as far as I can see. Just don't post here like it's a pink forum. Otherwise... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Tarquinn posted:Well, GBS is the most populous sub-forum and most of the regulars seem to enjoy the state it is currently in and do not like people coming in saying "GBS bad". There will be an instinctive push-back to that. That's probably true for the all sub-forums (or on a bigger level, cultures in general). i don't see actual problems, more like a lot of grey boringness that smothers out the potential for interesting or funny things. so they happen/are seen much less often. The weirdness comes from the disconnected and isolated little subcommunities in mega threads that start to diverge from the forum over time, get boring, and/or turn rotten one way or another like DeviantArt thread, submarine thread. just for the record idc if anything changes, im not campaigning for anything to happen at all, don't post much in gbs & only started thinking about it from the SAD thread bc procrastinating from doin stuff irl + i like to post HOWEVER, I think the main issue is structural, threads should have more turnover like 16bbh said, instead of being up for 10 years at a time. if this is supposed to be the kind of entry forum, you want to have new threads up because newbies aren't going to post in threads with a million posts. i think it would be better if threads popped up when a notable event happened, where people could come in at an equal footing and a fresh space to contribute. if a new thread about [topic], popped up when something that was worth a thread happened, that way everyone could see it/contribute, instead of only people who read that thread and catch the page it's discussed on before it gets buried by white noise posts. Also the slight barrier for content means less pages of people talking about the thing that Ian Miles Cheong just posted on twitter or w/e because who loving cares honestly Not that those kinds of pseudo-chat-threads are bad -period-, they're actually really good for a community. There just shouldn't be that many at once in one forum, because that's when they silo off into little subgroups within one forum and it fucks up the idea of a forum. works best to have only one, maybe two. It also really matters what the central subject/theme is (needs to give space for people to be funny & not be depressing or upsetting ) if I could make one change it would probably be that Schweinhund posted:Have you ever considered that this is a you problem and not a GBS problem? This goes for half the complaints in this thread but it's more obvious in this case. it's not a problem. i an a deeply principled person and don't sweve from that. i think its good ScRoTo TuRbOtUrD posted:I appreciate it, as weird as a post as I made. 16-bit Butt-Head posted:this is a weird post lol

" I was an rear end in a top hat and I'm sorry" typically is a better apology

FirstnameLastname posted:it's true Seems like the win/win solution is permabanning anyone who obtains pleasure from negative attention. We're rid of them, and they got to totally own us by getting us to overreact. Because it seems like the alternative is probing them over and over and over until we change the rules they disagree with (but not actually, since they already follow that rule in real life??????)

Slugworth posted:This is what I mean about trolling being just weird toddler brain poo poo that I don't think we need to have any tolerance for. You can't simply follow an incredibly minor rule that aligns with what you do in real life already? And you "live for" the negative reaction you get for breaking the rule? Have you tried living for something less sad? i said i decided not to. there's no rule irl stopping me from calling things gay what are you talking about that right there is why people dont like want to post in this thread or engage in good faith and i do not blame them as it's funny and this is pointless have you ever considered maybe the 'all word usage rules are for white straight men at work as default for literally everyone no exceptions because it i don't get to say it you don't get to either' default policy for all language in gbs might in itself be kinda discriminatory as not everyone on this website is a straight white man or talks like a straight white man, or considered how that reflects on the supposed inclusiveness of this subforum or that it might come across as a bit superficial, performative or hypocritical when you're getting that upset over me saying I'm gonna say aids, gay when there's blatant middleschool ableism posting going untouched like 4 posts up FirstnameLastname fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Jul 16, 2023 |

Tarquinn posted:They have shown more remorse for their mistake than all of the gay/aids posters combined. Does this count for anything, or is it the principle of things that is the most important? they were insincere and you accepted their apology for me by unprobing them. you should probably stop defending your bad call at this point and reverse it? edit: also this has nothing to do with the goons saying aids, it's about me being the target of a weird ableist dig and you recognising it was weird, probing them, then deciding it was actually super chill and I should "take a breather" if I'm upset with it. you are turning discrete events into forum war bullshit and once again in like 5 pages it led to mask off phobia.

Christ it's a Sunday morning and everyone's arguing on the internet in a web 1.0 forum May Jeff bestow a Boxing Day Massacre Pt. 2 on all of us in this thread, myself included. I'm going to reboot this thread later today. In the meantime, go hangout with friends, enjoy the day, praise the Lord, whatever, but do something else.
