I never really felt strongly about whether FYAD should stay or go but I also kind of don't really see why the only way to shoot the poo poo with your posting buddies is in an environment where none of the site's rules and standards can ever apply to you and you can bully anyone else on the site with impunity oh and also you take credit every time a scandal breaks about a bad moderator.

If it really is only 15-30 people then they can just hang out in a discord and pop in to threadshit/accuse mods on their regular account. The entire argument is they're all such good friends using hard slurs at each other isn't mean or hurtful, and I'd think people who claim to be that close could easily make their own offsite space to do the same thing.

It's funny because you can see just how deeply the poison runs in SA as an organism
Like it looks like the forum may be able to get out from under Lowtax's control, probably time to consider bringing back the slur forum right?

They already have an offsite and it's filled with exactly the poo poo you would think it's filled with.

QCS thread #__________ gets derailed by the usual crew: relitigating the death of FYAD, railing against CSPAM and TMNR existing, and arguing that transphobic slurs aren’t actually slurs you see it’s a fetish and they’re only stalking those posters because they post bad and can’t take a joke and f

if you’ve read one, you’ve read em all. I don’t recommend it. the only interesting part is the internal discussion in that leaked mod forum thread... but that only got leaked so any “anti-FYAD mods” could be exposed and called to answer for their crimes.

drat, even our leaks are fake! Lame.

Yeah, I found it and it is pretty pathetic how it's just retconning and rules-lawyering. Maybe it's a cultural holdover from Helldump, but I guess I just don't "get" mocking other Goons (unless there's an exceptionally drat good reason to do so, of course).

I find it hard to understand why people are surprised when the group that went too far with that lost their space to keep doing that in. :shrug:

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.

idk the past few days have changed my attitude from 'drive out the problem admins/mods to save the decades old community' to 'actually the community is rotten at its core and will never learn, let it burn'

gently caress it let the narcissists and psychopaths fight it out over the ashes, SA may not ever actually fully die but it's going to continue limping along bleeding out long term members with no new blood to replace them

He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
