So that ad came out before the last episode aired. Was there a leak of that last episode? That would have been a hell of a guess.

Yes, there were leaks for the last two episodes before either aired, but due to the number of fake leaks it was unclear which it was going to be. That one however was by far the most likely one, so it was quite known then. Also, yeah, now it's kinda done anyways, the episode aired a week ago, it was across the media and by now everyone in the internet talked about it, just leave it be. Given the scale of the show it's quite fair to assume that if someone hasn't seen it by now they probably don't really mind the spoiler. Not that ads in general require to be polite to anyone.

Ayin posted:It's talking about this and this, things which are certainly not pseudoscience. Yes, those are things, and the weird petition alludes to them, but refers to them as PAWS which (while it can result from benzos) is generally something related to substance use disorders, which the author essentially disavows. I'm not saying the ad should be nuked, but it is pretty clearly an anti-psychiatric medicine stance, which is generally rooted in pseudoscience..

i should rephrase my original post: what is the deal with this petition that seems to be written by someone who is having a mental health crisis. it's full of conspiracy theories and tangential personal anecdotes

That banner ad for the FF7 remake is an Amazon affiliate link, right? Aren't those against the rules? And it's telling people to preorder which is like recruiting for a death cult but with other people's money.

https://scarboil.com/index.php?threads/friend of the family-thread.8/ This is a currently running ad on our site and that is the third thread I clicked on after looking for an into thread there to what the site was about. Not a great place to have linked, maybe it's within the rules, bringing it to the attention of Ad Lookers either way.

Dunno why people think it's a really cool and good idea to make this website a place where racists can pay to broadcast their racism. Seems like if people are consistently racist you would not want to be around them or see what they have to say, even if they give you money.

At this point they will have just gotten some free advertising. Maybe there should be a more manual approval process for ads

Thinking about buying some ads for the GOONPAC thread. That's definitely under the banner of 'nonprofit', correct? And it's definitely okay as long as there's nothing NWS there, correct? I wouldn't normally ask, but SA's not exactly historically consistent with how they handle politics and partisanship.

And take down the openly transphobic and trans-shaming Fashion SWAT entries too. It’s a horrendous look for the site, and they’re not hard to find. quote:Zack: "Emotionally transgendered" is pretty much the definition I think of when I derisively call someone a human being. You can throw dicks up asses all you want, you can be Carson from Queer Eye in a faded pink Morrissey shirt, but you're just gay. This guy is a loving human being.

I just checked and the Offensive Cereals photoshop thread is easily accessible on the Wayback Machine, for instance. Rather than deleting content and leaving the door wide-open to "oh yeah, SA used to be horrible and here is proof!" stuff maybe a better approach would be a sort of gas chamber for front page content? Keep the content but put it in a place clearly labeled as being disavowed, regretted, and disowned? Something like that?

And putting them all in a repository with a big fat THIS IS WHERE WE KEEP ALL OF THE OLD OFFENSIVE AND BIGOTED CONTENT. WE DISAVOW ALL THE STUFF IN HERE. HERE BE DRAGONS, RACIST JOKES, AND QUEERBASHING. KEEP OUT PLS, UNLESS YOU ARE A HISTORIAN WHO WANTS TO SEE WHAT SA USED TO BE LIKE would just make it easier for bigots and white nationalists to find and copy all of the stuff. Like if you put it all in one place with a big sign on the front then you might as well post links to it on 4chan/T_D/etc too, because that’s 100% what would happen anyway. Let the Wayback Machine serve its purpose as a historical record of internets past and let SA move forward without continuing to chain itself to this boat anchor of poo poo.

I believe it's worse, if you click it, and you buy anything at all from Amazon in the next 24 hours, you get a cut. Dr. Eldarion would know, they have Coupons & Deals as their personal referral space it seems.
