they should just do more of that. 1 thread in each forum for qcs type crap and feedback.

or just ban all the weirdos until they stop making GBS threads up QCS, but lmao, it’s more of a trolling battleground now than a functional feedback forum.

any more tips on how to mod a highly contentious and delicate forum?

This is how I look at my habit of yelling at people at the grocery store for not wearing masks, I have a duty and obligation to do it because I have extreme amounts of privilege as a straight white male who has repeatedly benefited(not on purpose, but it's just true) from that privilege time and time again throughout my life, and a minority of any kind may not be able to safely do it, so god damnit, someone has to, and if not straight white dudes, then who?

If the mods and IKs could handle it due to the high volume of regular browsers in the subforum, I'd suggest a CSPAM QCS-alternative thread stickied where posters could bring up concerns, comments, questions or suggestions to the mods and IKs. I know I'm IK on a different section/subforum where that was suggested successfully for their own sub, and it's gone well so far

People deserve to talk about stuff that's important to the community and have it discussed without it being derailed (not even potentially, it's been a thing that's happened constantly for enough threads even adjacent to the sub a derail would basically be inevitable) by a hostile group, especially one that doesn't and won't even post here. "Take it to QCS" is the most unhelpful consistent advice on the forum now that we no longer need to stock up on toilet paper, and it can be avoided

lol QCS regulars are the most hosed up people that post here, besides the mods

thats because the trolling works and a cspam contingent gulps down the bait every time lol. You just have to D&D post in QCS, it's really simple. When somebody says "we can't let this go on" you just say "yes we can" then ask for details, where exactly the line is. How they would do it. Do they want to be c-spam IK? Bog them down in the details and they implode and the mods close the thread as they realize it was a total & complete rout. Posting wars.

cspam requires these soft hearted & headed posters to function imo. its why the trump thread getting smoked by the new years drama threw cspam's humours all out of whack. I was waving my hankerchief as they marched to total victory in QCS but then they came back all hosed up, bandaged & bloodied. the battle won the but war lost ....

I have done this to dozens of people now and without fail every single one backs down, withers, pulls their mask up or puts it on, or just walks away every single time. They are nothing to be afraid of, they are pathetic, wimpy, wannabe tough guys who don't know how to handle someone confronting them, they just fantasize that they are and operate only in spaces they think they are entirely safe from it

I've said it before but thanks for your service. I am female presenting and small, and getting into a confrontation would for sure trigger some ptsd and I might get in real trouble

I'm glad they back down to you. :)

yep, I could believe that they'd be aggressive to you in ways they wouldn't be towards me, and because of that, I have to be one of the ones that does it. of course it's always other straight white dudes who are the ones not wearing masks too, though that hasn't always been the case.

My one restriction is that I am not rude or aggressive to people who are at work. is someone working at a food place not wearing their mask also being a huge rear end in a top hat by doing that? yea, but like, they're at work, and they probably don't want to be there, they shouldn't have to be there, they're putting up with a lot to help stock groceries and make food for us all and stuff. And so I try to be nicer about it.
