Apparently FYAD and PYF switched places on the forums main page? I didn't notice, but that's how dio realized he had mod powers in FYAD, and probably how he was accidentally given PYF mod powers instead of FYAD powers in the first place.

It was a valiant attempt at shaking up pyf. It was maybe funnier than the time every thread in the subforum got locked and the mod unlocked one for every x number of threads that were opened

Not exactly a saga, but Goon in SA Mart asks if anyone will sell a cheap replacement for their kid's phone because a bully stepped on it and broke the screen; within 3 hours someone offered a Nexus 6P (few years old, but was Google's high end flagship when released) for the cost of shipping and another goon offered to pay for shipping because bullies suck.

He has a J6, cracked screen, figured I'd ask here since a lot of us know what it's like to be bullied. Totally happy to pay around $100 for a upgrade for him. I'll send you my ebay info, I've been on there since 1998, 100% positive. He's also an awesome kid, actually taking an engineering program in high school!!

My user name may or may not be attached to @hotmail.com but that would actually help you contact me sooner than me getting off my rear end, opening my laptop and logging in here...that might also be my ebay contact but I've only used the username since 1998...

Thanks for letting me beg here.

I mean that is cute but the kid's original phone costs more than the 6P does :v: (though the 6P is overall probably a decent upgrade from the J6)

Little cool stuff like that happens a lot in SA-Mart if you keep an eye on it (also great deals)

Does the “Free WorstPoster” march on QCS gambit ever work? I always had the sense that our mods were much more likely to double down than ever reconsider, but maybe my small QCS sample size is skewing my impression.

That thread started out really stupid, and then OP disappeared for a little bit and there was some constructive and interesting discussion, then the OP came back and it instantly devolved into them furiously cursing out everyone who didn’t instantly and unconditionally agree with them. Very strange.

I think he was channelling the BotL zeitgeist there, because that's usually what happens with his posts.

QCS is more a venting forum than a forum that accomplished anything.

That’s also why it kind of sucks.

It's really good for things like technical issues, or ads trying to install malware, etc. The problem with any sort of feedback forum is that it gives posters who want to post there more voice than posters who don't, so you have to always be aware of that. That doesn't make QCS useless, but it's also why decisions on QCS topics don't tend to get made right away.

Not as its own thread, I think. I know at least one person got themselves un-perma'd (Avshalom) by just asking nicely in QCS. I'm pretty sure I've lifted some others, and I know I've lifted some probations, but I can't remember if they were posts in QCS or PMs.

We've had mods de-modded and perma'd for being too erratic before. But I dont think anyone's gone all I Am John Galt and taken someone down.

Seriously, he was the worst. He took this turn where he would be super contrarian and just hate everything while doing the SMG psuedointellectual thing. The best part is when he would do it in a long-lived thread like the Book Barn Joe Abercrombie thing and you could just look at his history in the thread to see him talking about how much he liked it a year or two before.

it wasnt a qcs thread but toys for rear end bum got unbanned for posting (spoiler tagged) pics of him sounding himself in the ausgbs thread way back when because everyone else who posted there was like wtf did he get banned for thats bullhsit

when the mod who did it reversed it they were like okay no more inlined pictures even in spoilers, also what the gently caress is wrong with australians
