People have weird ideas about me. The possibility that I'm just a person who's trying and often comes up short doesn't seem to be one of them. I'm a bisexual man with mental illness, diabetes, and no money or social skills who did some good poo poo and some bad poo poo as an admin on a small forum. I have very little self-awareness and I'm terrible at seeing my patterns, but I'm pretty sure I'm neither the nicest guy you'll ever meet nor twisted loving psychopath.

Offsite? I guarantee they're all back on their alts already. They'll just start threads in the Front Page subforum or something. You know, where no one will look.

I mean the mass purge means that FYAD is basically an empty shell right now so I have to disagree. What would be the problem with "we are reopening FYAD but hate speech rules are as applicable there as they are in the gray forums"?

If it has the same rules as the grey forums then what's the point of another subforum? Silly poo poo can go in GBS, probably.

I dunno friend, I neither know nor care about FYAD's posting culture beyond "I wish they would stop using slurs" so I don't see any reason to shut it all down, when simply making a few existing rules global instead of "everywhere but FYAD" would do.

I'm not saying they're obligated, I'm just saying I think deleting a gutted subforum like that wouldn't really send the message of "we do not tolerate transphobes" as much as, say, permabanning the offenders and announcing that transphobia is bannable sitewide, no exceptions.

Maybe we could combine FYAD and TGRS into one forum? No mods, no admins. Let them Thunderdome it out. My money is on TGRS. They're fighting for more.

The only hard part is deciding what color to make it...gray and pink combined would look like steak. I like steak....hmmmm.....

Everybody is talking about some sort of decision that has been reached regarding FYAD, but I can’t find anything. Anyone got a link?

I’m not optimistic because from what I’ve heard, it kinda sounds like the mods are having trouble picking sides between trans people and people who never stopped posting like edgy 2003 13-year olds.

I’ll repost it here for the sake of future forums historians.

quote:

Thank you all for bringing these matters to our attention, and for weighing in. Your perspective is valuable and we take every post under consideration. There is a lot of turmoil on the forums right now, in QCS, in the mod forum, and in the various subforums. We are here, we are listening, and we are working together to better our community.

FYAD got pretty hosed up and we’re looking to course correct. I want to make it absolutely clear that bigotry, of any and all kinds, isn’t welcome here on the forums, anywhere.

We’ve done a lot of housecleaning there over the last two days, and of course will have more to do as time marches on. Further, we’ve removed the old FYAD mod and will be taking a different approach to how the forum is moderated.

In the past, FYAD existed on a kind of island, isolated from the rest of the mods and the forums at large. We had hoped that they would self govern and stay within the general culture of the broader forums, but that didn’t happen, and it got really out of hand. We won’t let that happen again. New FYAD moderation will be an honest part of the mod team, and we will work together to make sure that even the “gross pics and flame wars” forum stays current with the rest of the forums culture.

FYAD is a big part of SA history, and Lowtax doesn't want that to go away. FYAD will, however, be reformed into something that adheres to the original mission of the forum, while not allowing toxicity and hate to brew within its walls.

We’re all goons, and we’re all here because we love posting on the best drat forums online. Lets work together and thrive.

“ FYAD is a big part of SA history, and Lowtax doesn't want that to go away.” I think that’s a lost cause.
