lol like I'm ever going to care what the racists and concentration camp deniers of d&d think.

they hate reproductive rights so much, they'll explain why it's important for democrats to protect people like Cuellar in Texas, for years, then never actually protect those rights.

just the absolute worst people besides the weirdo mods on this website.

Hard agree.

But have you considered that the people who report their unsourced quotes to mods are giant babies who throw temper tantrums?

If they stood by their posts, they are free to debate how the post isn't terrible lib poo poo in this thread. They won't, though, because they can't hide behind arbitrary rules and a secret list of banned words.

this is only a problem because you all have empowered the clique for years by kowtowing to them.

If you give a Lib a cookie, they're going to ask for a glass of milk. When you give them the milk, they'll probably ask you for a straw. When they're finished, they'll ask you to close CSPAM because they hurt their fee-fees by calling the camps concentration camps.

It wouldn't be so dumb if they didn't also consider anyone disagreeing with them in D&D as brigading or otherwise somehow offensive. It's literally just "Guys you have to be nice, they can't handle any criticism. No, we can't tell them that they're the problem and they need to just grow thicker skin if they're going to try to debate politics, that also makes them too sad and meltdown"

it's just words until it snowballs into action

seriously not trying to be a dick here but i have to keep the peace between us and the rest of SA

I personally agree with you though so let me see if I can get a ruling from the admins about it. otherwise I'm going to have to keep giving out probations for violating the "loving with d&d" rule we've been over

See, this is why people think (incorrectly, I still somehow believe) that D&D still calls the shots and the CSPAM mods are at their beck and call.

During my brief ill-advised etc. I certainly saw CSPAM mods advocating for the forum too, and sometimes even with some positive results, but it would be nice to see more of that on this side of the fence too, and not just the "look we have to crack down on your fun or the neighborhood association busybodies will get upset" side of things.

(And I don't even like the unsourced D&D quote bullshit! I think it's dumb! I'm here specifically because I don't want to read or post in D&D! I just don't think it should be a Forums Crime.)

so if we post some lovely take from twitter, reddit, facebook, what-have-you, that's fine, because the posted getting dunked on never sees it

or, hell, sometimes they do see it, because if some braindead liberal gets their tweet posted here there's definitely people who will touch the poop and yell at them on twitter about it

but the difference is that that person doesn't then get to hassle the SomethingAwful moderators about it

it seems like the obvious solution is to mine offsites for bad takes

This has always been so dumb, if people run over to touch the poop then slap them down over there. Just sit and watch and lol at them from here. We keep having this problem because there's no slapping down on people that run over there and post. The dnders just whine incessantly. If there's no poop touching then tell them to shut up. They can feel free to start their own leftist lols thread, I don't think anyone here would give a poo poo lol.. And so long as a link doesn't actually get posted with the quote, then it should be fine. Hell you should definitely slap someone who posted a link to dnd because SA should try to discourage people from self-harm.

They've made the first major step toward banning queer folks as a whole. Despite having a fair number of sticks as an exec, Biden has not retaliated in the least.
