Taking out all the good content from GBS and putting it in a niche forum is one of the reasons there are so few good threads.

After the CCCC thread was deleted I stopped posting in any of the same places as the 'basement crew'. Now on the outside looking at all the lmbo posts went from just white noise to completely unberable. I dont think GBS needs anything radical done except punish whats always been against the rules, things that arent interesting funny or informative.

There is a potential for humor in even the worst of posts, its up to the other posters to polish that turd

I will add some thoughts here. There have been many times when someone reports an OP and a lovely thread. When I investigate, I find that the thread may have been poo poo to begin with, but other posters have saved it. This thread, right here, for example. It was reported to me, and I decided that it should stay for now. Could it go south? Easily. But it's not right now.

As far as Krusty, I will clarify once again. I did not suddenly develop a hatred for the dear, old guy and decide to probate everybody who posted a Krusty image. What happened is a couple of goons began posting the image. Over and over. In multiple threads. For no good reason.

And it was reported because it began irritating lots of goons. Contrary to popular belief, I don't spend all my time going through each thread post by post. Strangely enough, I don't even read many threads. (I'm busy taking naps, because I'm an Old Fart.) Because of this, I rely on reports. When I scan the report list and see the same name being reported multiple times by multiple people, I really pay attention. That's what happened with Krusty. So I warned some folks, and when I was ignored, I shut them down. Some people decided to protest the probations by posting the image even more, out of spite. They chose... poorly.

When someone gets creative with Krusty, I can appreciate it as much as anyone else. But I don't appreciate making GBS threads up threads, just to post the same old image for no good reason. And trying to piss off a mod is not a good reason.

Anytime I think of a person that reports a thread because they didn't think it was funny I have a mental picture of a 40 year old man with a pony tail in business casual attire quietly seething and smashing his keyboard buttons really hard.

After the last vicious beating to the left mouse button, the hero reclines in his chair and sips upon some coffee in a mug with a picture of a mountain on it.

Also there's no tv's in this guys house. A loving nightmare of a person.

But you know what is cut and dry? Proper capitalization and punctuation!

We should stop making difficult and divisive editorial calls and start working on mindfulness of form. Mindfulness of content will follow naturally.
