Okay, that’s even more confusing. Allow me to clarify. Your post was addressed as though it was in response to multiple people from D&D, but since it was the first post after mine the only person it could possibly be addressing was me, a single person who has literally never posted in D&D. Hence, me being confused about who you were talking to.

Ariong posted:The thread started as a simple request to undo a probation, and ended with at least 20 people calling for the resignation of two moderators, entirely off the back of how hard they faceplanted their reaction to this. eh, lots of people calling for resignations of a mod is a routine thing, and doesn't always mean anything happened. All of last year it was like daily calls for various mod resignations, from FYAD regulars arriving together and agreeing with each other like they represented the whole forum, and of course normal posters wouldn't recognize them as being one group. Sometimes a group of posters just decided it was time to make a move on that mod and it looked grassroots to everyone else. Maybe this situation that I haven't read about has no overlap on that behavior, but it's impossible to know so it's better to judge each situation for yourself on its own merits versus how much outrage it seems to be generating.

If they fired mods every time some subforum or megathread calls for it there would be none left

D&D as a unified forum doesn't make sense anymore in terms of what people are willing to put up with. Honestly it didn't really seem to make sense when I was modding it. It was a collection of megathreads, each with its own culture that mods were somehow expected to enforce in a way that wouldn't cause too much backlash.

So I remembered an old thread where a goon bought a 13 year old's vanity press horror anthology for cheap at a book sale. The thread has a lot, a poster shows up claiming to be Ben and gets banned while another poster gets really mad over their dumb parody posts, and eventually the real author shows up and is surprisingly chill about the whole thing. All in all its some good bad story fun even though all the goofy fan art is lost to the sands of time.Ben Biddick posted:The Horrid Reflection Ben Biddick posted:Human Existence

Wait what happened with beer being demodded in tg? I just assumed it was politics nerds being mad the dude who only knew about painting toys knew nothing about politics but still wanted to talk about them. Also am I the only one who dislikes the megathread concept we've switched to in the past few years? Especially since we don't say close and restart them frequently anymore so the op will be out of date, but jumping to the end won't tive you info you need. I mean for chat threads it's fine but for say a game's it's bad.

hey so does anyone remember the thread with the goony dude who referred to his kitchen as his "larder" and wanted to make the world's worst stew for like 30-50 people at a renaissance fair? i was looking for it the other day to link to someone but i couldn't find it even with search like, the recipe he posted that he was going to use was like loving abysmal if I recall correctly, but I don't remember any key words aside from "larder" and it isn't cropping up in the search for some reason i'm wondering if Search doesn't hit threads in The Archives or something

There was a goon that made an archive search and then got banned for unrelated drama iirc.

The fascists in trad games thread is a cool and useful resource full of interesting stuff - especially about wargames - and I'll be mad as hell if it gets closed because of becoming the proxy "demod Beer" thread when Beer hadn't posted there for months after getting soundly dragged and whipped out of the thread. There's got to be a better battleground. Edit: I also like this thread and it'll be a crying shame if it gets locked because of people using it as ersatz QCS/forum enemy battle arena, and yes I know I'm being a hypocrite by contributing to it. small ghost has a new favorite as of 14:33 on Dec 24, 2019 |
