This is much easier to say when you're not the target. I can't blame any mods or posters that ended up deciding it wasn't worth sticking it out.

If by "hit by a car" you mean randomly banned I would speculate that I would regret it.
If you mean actually hit by a car then I would have other issues to deal with but also a pretty good thread to post.

I heard if you drink more than one bladders worth of pee it's poison and you'll die from piss poisoning.

So I'd drink the pee.

donkey? donkey?

The weak link is the report post part. Posters accountable. Mods and admins accountable publicly.

The missing part is who is reporting and what. To be fair to mods and admins we don't see what they're dealing with

Do people get probed or banned for hammering the report tab?

A CISHET SHITLORD posted:

Serious, this forum has a problem with modding the best posters, which is great in theory, but it inevitably transforms them into bitter husks devoid of the human spark. Maybe make the forums more democratic?? No one person can gas a thread, but a certain number of 1 votes will autogas it? And it couldn't be hard to write a script that appropriates based off certain keywords, which would certainly be more consistent and understandable than what's been going on recently.

I have a soft spot in my heart for franco cause I get his situation, these forums can be very socially unforgiving and the people most stubborn about acknowledging that are often those who exemplify it. It's largely why I think meta posting is the unhealthiest thing that happens around here, sometimes the easiest way to fit in is to reinforce the pecking order but we lose a lot of people to that grinder. Old gold threads that gave weeks of stories in the past would be immediately dogpiled as stdh by the negative vibe we got goin now, people wanna blame the mods for posters being timid about putting themselves out there but I feel like they're all more afraid of their peers.

you are a bitter whining furry who hasn't made a funny post in his life

and you don't like gbs and no one here likes you, so it would be a win-win situtation if you left
