I'm supposed to take my brain pills within 2 hours of waking up and thanks to cyano that didn't happen so all bad posts from now is their fault.

"Well our yoy expenses will go down by 23% because we eliminated our cookie outsorcing however q2 revenue will probably be down by 8% because users probably wont tox for basta this year"

Eh...that's a big fuckup but it's not the kind of fuckup that irredeemable regardless of if they change and it look like they did and are genuinely sorry in that case. Feels like it's less about that fuckup itself and more like pouncing on perceived hypocrisy and the general lack of transparency and accountability to anything else. The latter can addup to still needing them to step down regardless to be clear tho.

Rockit posted:Eh...that's a big fuckup but it's not the kind of fuckup that irredeemable regardless of if anything changes and it look like it did in that case. the dude saw a poster calling muslims a threat and asked him to provide a citated thesis. And then after the thesis gets posted he praised it and said he wants to see more like it in the community. He also gave a sixer to the same dude saying hitler wasn't a monster.

Nineball posted:Yes. He accomplished this by being exactly middle of the road and ejects any form of "politics" from TFR that doesn't specifically fit into the one thread about garbage in the firearms hobby. I mean this as politely as possible but his tenure is the definition of smoothbrained. TFR is a good though since posters there don't let dipshits run rampant. No idea why he's admin Pretty accurate imo

Saying "attaboy we need more of this kinda poo poo" to a bunch of copy-pasted white supremacist talking points is absolutely grounds for a demodding at minimum

really queer Christmas posted:the dude saw a poster calling muslims a threat and asked him to provide a citated thesis. And then after the thesis gets posted he praised it and said he wants to see more like it in the community. That's trash but i already knew that and i don't think it's a big enough fuckup to ignore genuine change in his behavior. But there's that and saying he doesn't need to punished at all which i don't think is the case.

Well, speaking for myself, I was a totally bananas pro-war neocon when I was younger. There's no real way to "atone" for that, like "I was a bad person and now I'm a good person." All you can really do is engage in political work -- I think you have a sense of what some of that has been from my posts here. One thing that Cyrano has done since then that is cool is making a thread in that sub to track racist and fascist stuff in the gun industry, which IMO matters: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3894692

Rockit posted:Eh...that's a big fuckup but it's not the kind of fuckup that irredeemable regardless of if they change and it look like they did and are genuinely sorry in that case. at a bare minimum: demote him to regular poster for 6 months, stick him with a ugly av and big red text saying “TELL ME ABOUT ISLAMAPHOBIA”, and probe him around once a week or so at random, then make him a mod again. hell, maybe force every admin to take a break and be a regular poster once in a while. the forums equivalent of a dude whispering in their ear, “remember that you are mortal.” what I’m saying is: LK for admin, you actually relinquished power voluntarily.

I can't recommend this forum to people because there's actually a chance that the mods will do something that actually endangers them. Wild!

the best way to atone is to wear a goofy av and suffer bad jokes for a few months. it forces you to grow, and it means that nature is healing. lobotomy molo fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jul 2, 2020 |

but also I think the "i had lovely opinions but now I have good opinions!" kinda steers towards the self-flagellation that is a characteristic of american liberalism. we were all dumb shitheads kids, we learn, we grow, some people learn and grow in pretty horrible ways as it turns out. people need to cut kids a break when they're still trying to figure out how they perceive and understand the world around them.

Calling that post great is UN FORGIVABLE and if he had truly changed then he would agree and step down without having to be argued into it. There are plenty of people who have never in their lives been inclined to call a post like that "great" who could be mods or admins, including in TFR empty whippet box fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jul 2, 2020 |

Not saying he's permanently a dogshit person if he is taking steps to put that kind of poo poo behind him but still, god drat.

You may not need to be a flagellate but you shouldn't parade around not being a horrible person anymore as some sort of huge personal achievement. It doesn't earn you any awards you are just back at zero with the rest of us, with the baggage of having been lovely before.

PCOS Bill was literally never a good poster, was constantly posting poo poo similar to his response to the "mod challenge". This type of stuff is going to keep happening, and FYAD is going to keep getting re-litigated, etc until someone acknowledges the dissatisfaction of the community or the centrifugal forces wear down and the site dies because better posts, as it turned out, weren't possible. People are going to keep toeing the line on a site-level until something breaks because everything seems to have an aura of suck to it.
