Oh look, mods locked the thread in under three hours.

Good thing nothing could prevent people from having their say during those three hours, right? Surely anything that did would just be a hilarious joke.

Yeah, I totally missed that. I assumed I was going to eat a probe, and either way I'm a sensitive soul who doesn't like conflict, so I just logged off to play video games for a bit.

I don't want to drag this out, as far as I'm concerned it's long past time to move on, but I do want to say that when we say these things it's genuinely meant as constructive criticism. It's not concern trolling.

e: I don't think MS is absolutely terrible, and I've had cool interactions with him. That's why we're bothering to make these points to begin with.

I would have liked to make a comment there on how absurd it is that a low content sub forum like PYF gets all these mod posts that a derailment is over and we need to get back on track. This thread right now is a terrible example so I’ll make one up. If people decide to post about cats for a page in the PYF Horse threads and no one seems to mind, why does it need a mod to basically yell what the thread is about? Why can’t it just come to a natural conclusion where a poster eventually goes “oh, that Garfield... but anyway, here is some more of poor Freckles”.

To me PYF is a low content, low effort sub forum with good vibes and it doesn’t need a headmaster who cracks their whip every time the orphans in the content factories aren’t producing the right goods. Threads can drift wildly away from the course, but right now even short scenic routes seem to get called out.

this was my thought too. also that book is 20 years old and was considered corny even then, any 'hipster' (what does that word mean anymore?) would be stripped of their commendations and executed for citing it.

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Ok, they’re ACTING like fascists. Mods probing someone “as a joke” is the definition of punching down. Countless mods have done it and it’s always wrong.

Despite appearances, this isn't the "post about modding PYF" thread, BUT: I sort of 100% agree with this? The only derails I step in to stop are the ones that are slapfights or just generally negative. Or ones that have hit critical mass of people saying they hate it vs the ones clearly enjoying it. I don't always get it right, but I'm only human. :shrug:

Maybe Mary Sue's not the best word for it but no one I have ever seen recommend the book mentioned that a significant amount of the story is just the author's self-insert describing loving anyone who has a pulse.
