The retard rule (lol) went from an IK giving sixers to a moderator giving a week. Also looking at other forums for post.. thats bad, but looking at other forums post (for modding)... thats good. Anyway lets have a torturous 1 day long debate about modding where we win because we have more free time collectively and actually post here, etc etc. another productive meeting of the minds on the something awful forums

i wish this thread would stop talking about The Antagonistic Mod-Poster Contradiction and go back to talking about unequal north-south trade terms or whatever

its like pandoras box but excess free time and disagreement over stuff nobody will remember in 2 weeks is released. luckily, we can count on the squad to do this again in 5 days or whatever the turnaround is.

ramping people when they continue to do something against the rules is normal everywhere else, but why does everyone hate it so much here?

if everyone in here hates it, why is it in the rules? what does that mean about someone who enforces those rules?

it means you are an external will exerting force, which is absolutely the actual issue, not any particular words. you're the fuzz, the pigs, the stinky oinkers, those bastards, and so on. there's selective enforcement and it's seems obvious to everyone without hamvision.

who knows if it's true, all i know is it keeps derailing threads i'm posting in, in the middle of conversations i'm having and it sucks

selective enforcement is an unavoidable result of having volunteer mods and loose rather than legalistic rules. this is actually better than the alternative of having some sort of strict algorithm that paid mods must enforce on pain of losing their employment. none of these things really matter to the actual issue, which is that you don't mind the use of slurs

iirc mclaine stepped down during/after big 2019 christmas drama, dropped off face of the earth. SJY stepped down like 3 days before any of that happened like loving nostradamus but still post on and off. still comes back when big poo poo goes down i.e. 1/6
