They told me beforehand and I said I absolutely wasn't interested and it would be a bad idea besides. Then they made me one anyway and in the space of two hours there were five new GBS threads about me and QCS was in an uproar and I was demodded an hour later without exercising a single mod power (except to visit the mid forum).

I wish I could have gotten a custom grenade icon for my troubles.

you could have at least given me a 6h

Ok so what do you guys think should be done about posters wishing "death threats" on each other? It's something thats been getting reported lately. Things like people saying "Oh ok well then I think you should kill yourself" etc? Normally I think, whatever.... but its been bothering some people so I dunno...what do you other mods think?

Like, a normal "lol kill urself fag" can probably be safely ignored, but "I'm coming for you in your home at 351W 81st St." Then yeah you should probs intervene.

Imo they should be permabanned, this site would be better off without people like Effectronica. I don't remember anyone ever making a fun joke with the premise of "I will kill you!". Many goons are mentally ill and they have killed people before, even if goons usually just kill themselves.

Do we know for sure that Obama doesn't have an account here? No. Therefore a death threat against anyone could be a death threat against the potus, which has gotten us in trouble before.

if it is funny then it should be treated as a joke. if it is said by effectronica then it is not funny because only its poster is a joke.

It kind of gets tiresome having to clear your inbox for the 4th time that day from the amount of spam PMs effectronica sends. Some is holocaust snuff images others just death threats. Dude needs to take his meds

what is your role here exactly? what is your purpose? i used a starving hyena analogy but i think you actually think you are someone worth listening to, which shows a shocking lack of self-awareness on your part.

DGSW you sound dangerously close to caring. It's very uncharacteristic. Normally you're so detached I almost think of you as a piece of interactive abstract art than a poster.
