Why not just make D&D a closed off forum at this point? There's obviously no point in posting there if you disagree with anything about the Biden administration. I've never been a consistently active poster there or here, but I don't see what there is to discuss other than for being a Q&A about what's in Biden policy proposals.

This is probably dumb to mention, but why isn't there a QCS thread about this? I guess it doesn't really matter, because it's become much more of an echo chamber than it's ever been and so what's the point in posting there, but the modding of that thread really pisses me off.

QCS threads get made all the time. They annoy everyone because they never go anywhere and its always the same thing so they get unceremoniously shut down and the peanut gallery tries to shut down any new ones for being such annoying slapfights.

The problem is that this is how moderators have always acted. The administrators are perfectly okay with this. It isn't until something like Joe Biden's rape victims are being openly trashed or concentration camps are being justified that people can try to speak out against the thin-skinned and biased moderation that is completely out of line but literally nothing can be done about it because this is what they think they should be doing and have always done.

Jeffrey the new owner acted the same way as a mod so I assume he completely agrees that a bunch of stupid rear end in a top hat goons should be word cops with ultimate authority over the entire concept of written language in all forms. Nothing can be done about it so all you can do is find the comedy in the situation even if it is a bunch of sociopaths sitting around justifying crimes against humanity and rape because their psychological need for calm is more important than the harm they are openly lying about and downplaying. If the authorities here are fine with justifying horror and rape that's it. Period.

Love the dialectic going on where US politicians do something stupid and evil in their personal lives (sexually harass employees, flee a winter storm) and are forced to do something good on a large scale (legalize weed, expose concentration camps) so they can divert attention. It's the only way the US state produces decent polices today.

If Major mauls someone to death, we might finally get Medicare for All.

I really don't like how concisely that summarizes the entire purpose so neatly.

Thankfully I could just scroll to the last slide and click complete and all done in a minute. Then I get super mad at the coworkers that are devoid of critical thought and actually sit there listening to every slide as if it's some incredibly engaging content.

QCS-posting can be done in QCS, and it would probably get something done there, too!

come on man

it won't

you know it, we know it, everybody else knows it

we've already had multiple related QCS threads shut down while the mods "figure out what is going on," posting a new one isn't going to change anything, it's just likely expediting eating a probe/ban before the mods lock the thread and declare discussion over without changing anything

nobody is going to believe it'll be different this time because it never has been before, there has been no indication of broader change, and (no matter how much people like you personally) the moderation staff in aggregate has entirely burned through any remaining goodwill/trust/benefit of the doubt

"QCS-adjacent" talk constantly overflowing here is just a side effect of the way moderation has chosen to manage things - sort of like how in the pre-C-SPAM (and C-SPAM Hillarymen) era(s) a much greater amount of politics discussion inevitably overflowed to GBS because of what a toxic cesspool D&D (and C-SPAM of that era) was

Just stop touching the poop. If you want to talk about their lovely moderation and their lovely posters, fine. But the one stipulation we have is not to touch the poop. And let's be honest, there is literally nothing to be gained from doing so. You're not going to convince anyone because they don't want to be convinced.

And if you have a real, serious issue with their poo poo, bring it to QCS because even if nothing changes those freaks can't loving help themselves and it makes the BEST succ content around.
