And since this was an accidental snipe the mod who got me was very correct and pointed out the rule I was violating.

Wrong posts wrong place.

This does not constitute an apology or a retraction just an admission of getting overhyped. Not one of SA's Greatest Sagas, tbqh

everytime i've seen a botl post i usually agree with what ever point they're making, but they write in the most obnoxious and aggressive way possible that it doesn't matter if they're making a good point or not because i never want to actually read anything they write.

I don't really mind botl but I also gently caress off somewhere else when he decides to have some fun at a fanwank's expense.

Botl gets dinged because even though he sometimes makes good post he often posts in a way thats deliberately antagonistic and assholish so yeah, he gets kicked out of threads a bunch.

For a very vocal minority of posters, the absolute worst thing you can do is earnestly and unironically enjoy and discuss something, either because that's the internet they came of age in or because they're misanthropes. People who do are the reason The Forums Aren't Funny Anymore, and they'll respond with either relentlessly negative contrarianism, constant flippantly dismissive posts, or a plaintive wail of "but I thought Something Awful was a comedy website!"

Strange defence of posting 'lewd' video game characters, but okay.

E: Sorry, might have read it wrong. FAU was called a dull party pooper in the quick games thread, so I thought you were referring to that.

Those threads are really weird because I swear almost none of them are watching the speedrun marathon or having a conversation with anyone. It's just spamming fan art and emptyquotes and emotes.

I try to participate once in a while but by the time I make a post 30 others have been made.

I'm glad those people are having fun and all but I'm also glad they got put in the corner for a timeout.

basically last GDQ thread people posted bad and funny fanart images when the stream got slow. one of the early funny images was a cartoon bird with a enormous oversized rear end, which became a thread meme. this made people decided that this year it was hilarious to just post regular horny fanart all over the thread

It might be like the 4chan thing where people associate SA with hilarious misanthropy and mockery, so obviously to be funny and popular and fit in you have to be relentlessly negative about everything and mock everyone who dares enjoy something earnestly or take something seriously, and then the community ends up a horrible unfunny parody of itself

Get bashed, platonist!

What REALLY gets me about that AGDQ thing is all the people who are like “FAU so lame, NSFW is okay!” Like, first of all, you can’t post NSFW poo poo inline on the forums. That’s not some new thing. A lot of people there seemed to think that rule should not be enforced because it was a coolcasualchill thread but, well, no.

Second though, the people who got probated did so because the porny fanart they posted or emptyquoted was depciting underage characters. How are you not onboard with that probation? Yet, the thread got closed because people went insane over those drat fascist mods lot letting them post some awesome pictures of the kids from Splatoon licking each other. :wtf:

My original point stands. "a thread got gassed because a hundred people quoted underage cartoon porn" is pretty much all that needs to be said in here; debates on the merit of the gassing/bans/the thread itself don't belong here.

You can't leave out the part where angry posters took over an unrelated QQCS thread to rant about FYAD concern trolling and rave about how locking the thread was an attack on SA's LGBTQ community.
