CSPAM is horrible. Like I appreciate that their is organizing going on and people use it for a lot of different reasons, but all the loving posts of LMAO or emptyquote are poo poo. Is there a browser add-on that makes it more intelligible or something?

I always assumed it was just Laissez’s Fair all over again and have stayed away from it. And really everything else in Debate and Discussion too.

CSPAM has been kinda the defacto QCS since that subforum closed from fyad drama

Not sure why QCS is still closed, seems pretty straightforward to reopen and punish helldumping there.

Posting this in what I think is the most appropriate thread.

First, loving :lol: that PCOS_Bill was Aran and at least one mod knew. If you don't know, Aran was one of the first ever permas and is the founder of Something Sensitive.

If you're not up on the forums drama, last night former and now permabanned d&d mod party planes jones was found to have been a very active participant on a bunch of nazi and alt-right discords. Koalas March and Jeffrey of YOSPOS both responded that they knew and PPJ was running deep cover to keep an eye on extreme groups. He then self-permabanned.

I have no idea what is going on but I used to get probated for calling PCOS a Nazi.

A site dedicated to making GBS threads on SA for being too sensitive. It’s run by PCOS Bill and you can get achievement badge/icons by stuff like being a stormfront member or trolling a mod into loving up and abandoning the site and stuff.

The dumbest thing was that PCOS Bill was an unrepentant racist troll, but what finally got him perma’d was saying Kat Denning had gross boobs or something.

Some C-SPAM threads (Elon Musk, political self-ownage) are very good. Lots of them are not because they've been self-radicalizing themselves for years and have a real major blindspot for tankie and other related "anti-imperialist" talking points. I'm fully expecting them to turn on Bernie any day now.

Calling C-SPAM an echo chamber is an understatement. It's like they're collectively constructing their own delusional worldview through aggressive repetition and cognitive failure.

he can be too trusting.

picking through the leper's colony, I found a PCOS re-reg that got perm'd a year and a half ago. They made the PCOS->Aran connection then.

I'd say mods knew, but the shear amount of brainworms required to keep this all in line has to be exhausting. This site is way too big for any mod or admin to know what's going on in every corner and keep track of every poster.

CSPAM is indeed radical nihilist and/or leftist but you can easily see the process for how they got there since 2016. it mostly ended up that way as a reaction to d&ds swings between conservative and liberal centrist posting that was enforced under the moderation. calling it an echo chamber isnt quite accurate

CSPAM is radical nihilist because in 2016 Trump sleazed his way into power and made the world into a much, much more lovely, evil place. No one who really cares about that and/or is getting directly hurt has any meaningful power to fight back. Here, at least, you can talk about it, yell about it, and be around people like you. But that's all second best to fighting for and getting something. CSPAM is angry and wants to fight. That's all. And the reason isn't here. It's out there, in real life.

I enjoy many threads in Cspam, but left wing places in general can get slogany and group thinky, cspam most definitely included. I used to find that intolerable rather than just annoying but then the past several years happened and I realized the left had been right about almost everything while I was being a dumb smug lib
