Thinking about the buff mom and dad and our friend werthog (slouching, miserable, world-weary and his nongender bae sitting at the dinner table and I'm laughing. Werthog is the best poster in YOSPOS

Smythe posted:

Werthog so house poor he sits on a nearly completely disintegrated side-of-the-road couch in an otherwise empty room a block away from Tori. He stares dejectedly at the floor as his wife angrily fills an adult coloring book and his buff dad, shirtless and glistening with a fine sheen of saccharine sweat installs an in-window a/c unit.

Werthog wife screaming incoherently for no reason and weeping while he blankly stares into space as mom and dad do epic curls and overhead presses in the beautiful sun drenched foyer.

My many friends here on the Something Awful forums have informed me that long time absentee moderator Lincoln`s Wax has finally recognized that he is unable to control the illegality and barely-concealed racism that infects Something Awful subforum "The Firing Range" (TFR). TFR has been an example of how not to run a forum dealing with a deadly serious topic such as privately-owned firearms, not to mention the attendant toxic culture of paranoia and white supremacy that surrounds firearm "culture."

Indeed, TFR has allowed unsafe, irresponsible gun ownership to go unchallenged for over a decade. It would be futile to expect firearm owners to police themselves, as nearly all are riven by the aforementioned racial hatred, fanatical rejection of all personal responsibility in the name of the greater good, and the general antisocial mindset that is seen elsewhere on the Something Awful Forums. TFR serves as a sad reminder that an armed society is neither a polite nor a competent one.

These failures of moderation have manifested not only in the normalization of dangerous behavior bordering on sociopathy, but a literal trail of dead. TFR has gleefully and without basic inquiry given advice to spree killers such as William Freund and numerous members of the community who have used their guns to take their own lives. Worse still, Lincoln`s Wax frequently went out of his way to silence any voices of reason that stand up to this poisonous mix of antisocial behavior and fetishism for dangerous weapons. U.S. society finally appearing to open its eyes to the fundamentally danger nature of guns in the hands of reclusive and maladjusted private hands. Thus, continued negligence in the moderation of TFR will eventually expose The Something Awful Forums to civil or even criminal suit. The patients can no longer run the asylum.

With this in mind, I hope the current Something Awful Forums moderation team takes this opportunity to clean up after Lincoln`s Wax's sad tenure. On balance, Lincoln`s Wax behavior makes him the most infamous moderator in the history of The Something Awful Forums. After all, at least Aatrek didn't kill any kids.

Hopefully a clearer ruleset and more consistent moderation will allow GBS to flourish as a comedy forum rather than an unfunny circlejerk for badposters and bigotry.

"A vast and unpleasant amount of time and effort in the cesspool of GBS in order to personally improve it by a negligible amount" is what I'm doing. All I'm asking from you, and every other non-GBS poster on the forums, is that you go make some posts there, or post a thread or something. GBS shouldn't be a byword for bad posting, but refusing to post there to improve it because "GBS is bad" is just circular logic.

Then do it this weekend. We deliberately launched during a work day so things would be more manageable in the initial rush.

There's no requirement that every new poster and all the new content show up in the first two days.

Sure, but that was the point of the reboot. What I'm saying is that we're making GBS better. I want people to come help do that. Just new rules and more mod attention isn't enough to do that. Come post in GBS because it's the place on the forums everyone should come together to make jokes and post photoshops and opinions about TV shows and pictures of the county fair.
