He didn't even call them a loving name. It was self-righteous sure but it's 100% the same tone that scrub has been posting at me about and he went unpunished. Compare:




It's the same goddamn tone, I'd argue the bottom two are easily more directly insulting/dickish
the difference is one had content you disagree with and the other two you do agree with

tbf it was originally just mocking them for the dumb "ah but you participate in a society curious" argument but then i got mad and edited it to be meaner, then presumably squizzle got rational hitler'd and welp

It wasn't the punishment it was the pretense I took issue with
Don't say "it's because he was mean to those posters" if the actual reason was "he hurt my feelings"

it's okay to feel
maybe if mods actually said "hey jack, I'm just a person and this is really starting to weigh on me" folks would let up a bit and empathize

instead they just do everything in the worst way possible

squiz probated me because i was being an aggressive poo poo, which is fair, but then started ascribing bullshit reasons to it because he obviously hadn't read any of the context around it(he's admitted to doing this before) and welp

it's a good practical example of "staff refuses to admit any fault whatsoever and just digs deeper" though

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

yeah, it’s not a big deal, but the overall SA culture of “anyone can be punished at any time for any reason” def encourages abuses of power.

when a poster gets mad, they should take 5 and listen to some relaxing music, read the SCP thread, look at some funny memes, and reconsider whether or not they want to angrypost. it’s good and healthy. the same thing applies to mods, except angry mod button mashing sends a much sharper message about what is or isn’t allowed in a thread.

idk, just... be honest when somebody made you mad? it’s way easier for people to empathize with a mod when your response is “that hurt”. nobody’s trying to be a dick, everyone’s got feelings, we’re all human. when the reaction is instead “gently caress you here’s a punishment, who are you again?? :grin:“ it comes across as needlessly antagonistic and aloof.

while the few mods who actually give a poo poo tend to burn out fairly quickly, the bad mods just don't bother doing their jobs and they get free buttons to punish their enemies

I wouldn't say that. I stepped down because I felt it wasn't right for me to be posting with a star when people wanted answers. I resigned a fair bit, maybe 8 hours or so, before Jeffrey confirmed a deal was in the works, because I wasn't actually sure such a thing would happen.

I don't know what I would do in the future. The reality of being a CSPAM mod is mostly looking at a bunch of reports and going "most of these are whatever, misc." I wouldn't mind coming back if Lowtax was for sure gone, but I've also contemplated using this as an opportunity to stop posting under this username and move on after more than a decade of lurking and posting on Something Awful.

For now, I am waiting to see if Jeffrey pulls it off.
