Speaking of mods, I noticed some of them have different signifier symbols in the upper left.

When did this come about, and what do the other mods have?

I thought you have that because you're one of those red pill MRA's.

Or a member of The Capsules biker gang.

(a) a while ago

AA got his first and after that Pandora's box got opened a bunch of mods requested them (zdr's a hero).

I don't feel like digging a hundred pages back or so in the secfuck thread in yospos, but that's where it was. You'll know when you see it, the posts are huge.

Also it doesn't work on awful.app, only on a browser.

There was somebody not too long ago in the YOSPOS cat thread, but when I went back to check, the cancer was gone. It was brilliant, too, because it was a pretty solid chunk of text, completely upside-down and faded. Removing it seems to remove it for all past posts as well then, I guess. :saddowns:

It was unleashed in LF and I think YCS back before they were totally purged so really the only people that were affected were the people there. If you were silly enough to get into a GBS slapfight with someone with it you could get it.

Your avatar turns into a picture of a kid with cancer and your posts get an annoying style applied to them (originally it faded the text, now it flips it upside down).

It also sets your postcount to zero, for whatever that's worth.

IIRC it also affected FYAD and YOSPOS, yes? I thought it was all FYAD/FYAD-lites.

According to the SAclopedia, it affected posters LF, BYOB, YCS, and maybe YOSPOS, but not FYAD.

And a screenshot:


The poster has 2 posts, one in YOSPOS and one in Ask/Tell, so that seems like an achievement.
