just because some mods let it slide or don't care doesn't mean it's not still a rule you can get banned for, and he only got probated for it so I'm not sure that's the smoking gun you're looking for

I'm not nearly invested enough to go through the list but I'm willing to bet a lot of those "I've never posted there but LOL they put me on the list" have been demonstrably lovely/racist/whatever in the past. If KM saw some guy eat multiple probies for ironic racism in D&D or GBS or whatever, I don't see how saying "yeah I don't want this person posting here because here is direct evidence that they are not interested in actual discussion" is some sort of petty personal shitlist.

I'm also willing to bet the number of people on that list who have never posted in TGRS or the Negrotown etc. threads is a lot smaller than some people seem to think

It's actually really funny and clever because all the people who swore that they totally didnt care about the forum have spent the past week loudly and publicly gnashing their teeth about what a grave injustice it is that they can't post in it. It also made all the white pissbaby trolls pull a 180 and start crying about racism and discrimination over it, doing something actually funny for the first time in their entire posting careers in the process.

I mean we both agree that the number of people crying about not being allowed to post in a subforum they either actively poo poo in or pretend to not care about is really funny so I dunno why we're arguing tbh

Most of my effortposting is trying to defend the fact that some of the people being the most vocal about it also happen to be people who are known shitposters

Just for context, this poster has complained in the past week about being too bitchmade to honk at children playing in the street to the point where he had to stop behind them.

whoever's buying the "hang yourself with your phone cable" red titles should probably be stopped bc there have been a lot of suicides on SA over the years and people who take the internet too seriously are not gonna be the most mentally stable in the first place.

Yeah that's definitely a rule I enforce in GBS, click report when you see it. It's hard to know who bought custom titles though, lowtax himself basically has to contact the payment processor. The SA store is explicitly not tied to your account for better or worse.

If you report it and say "bad custom title" and it's a suicide request I'm happy to blank it, has to be in GBS for me to queue it up though. I'm sure some other mods feel similarly.

The universe you guys live in must be nice but I think the real thing to look at here is the inter-dimensional communications you've developed to talk down to us here at Earth Prime about our residency situations and how you guys can just push things like minor cosmetic damage straight to court where you somehow bill your landlord.

Sometimes over here the judges get angry you are wasting their time. Or the landlord knows the judge. Or you being "A Poor" means you can't really afford court costs since minor cosmetic damage is effectively non-existent in terms of impact on your living situation. Or maybe a roach infestation or literal gunfights take priority over Bitchy McMoans in 3B throwing a hissy fit because the doorknob scuffed his wall and his sternly written letters have gone unanswered.

I'm calling your dimension "Earth J" for Justice since court is free and everything is fair.

I kinda feel like the olive branch between us, that will keep you from ruining good threads with an 8 hour straight meltdown, is me getting you to concede that what I said was reasonable.

The law isn't a perfect shield you can resolve problems with in 100% of situations because you are right or it's fair. That isn't how the world works.

I'm really sorry I set you off on some kind of crazy posting spree because I said as much sarcastically and you apparently can't process the possibility of situations you personally don't consider plausible.

I'll give you the apartment thread if you shut the gently caress up, jesus christ.
