I was thinking of something this on a smaller scale and limited to threads revolving around individual personalities for a nice 100 page maximum

but sure let's go all the way

I just wanted to add, thank you admins for posting this thread, as the president emeritus of cspam, this forum is dear to me. It's hard to really explain the current iteration of cspam without drawing a throughline from its beginnings in the 2015 primary campaigns. As a "political shitposting" space where you could post and not be probated by overzealous d&d or gbs mods, the bulk of early cspam posting revolved around bernie bro versus hillary supporters, a ton of gawking at the gop primary clusterfuck, and like, 4 or 5 legitimate trumper maga types. It was and is a joyful place, which is why it's a shame so many have this picture of it as a cliquey doomer zone. Over the past 5 years there have been ups and downs, the highlight for me is probably when I got 250 people mass banned for toxxing for Michael avenatti's presidential campaign, when he was imprisoned for trying to blackmail the ceos of nike and reebock. cspam is a very funny place full of very funny people, and I don't think I'm alone in saying that while I do have a broken brain for sure, cspam and the people in it make me happier than anything else on the internet.

the best posters in cspam at the moment are, like, cumshitter, gradenko crusader, 2dcat, buddykins, pener kropooplin, twoday, rah! , there's lots of others I'm forgetting because I'm fuckin high as poo poo. It's a wonderful inclusive space that tends leftist/marxist/materialist/humanist but has absolutely incredible potential for continued growth and good posts and good posting times as a community



In conclusion,
loving free lastgirl
loving free Al!
loving free mormonpartyboat

this does remind me of that one "nihilism :( vs nihilism :thumbsup:" meme tho, in terms of how people handle a bleak world outlook. be a little less self serious about it, i guess.

Serious Camus hero energy yeah.

I like forum but only really the parts that I read. Cool zone, doomsday economics, gun thread and previously the mental health thread.

When someone looks at cpam from the outside it can be easy to assume we're a monolith but that's not true. It's all sorts of lefty poo poo from hard ml poo poo to moderate socialist. From theory heads to newly crack pinged to nihilists to reactionaries. So someone talking about all of cspam as if the actions of a single person or group is representative of the whole is extremely reductive. And to me if someone is always mad with us by judging all of us by the actions of the worst of us should tell you more about them that it does us.

As for not checking out the forums other than with bookmarks I think that the obvious answer is to just have a message that reminds people to check out the forums once and a while instead of only their bookmarks. Maybe highlight a specific thread once a day or week or something. Not just in one forum, but any.

This seems like an easy and quick technical fix and Jeffrey could just add a simple message at the top of bookmarks with a reminder to check out their forums for shiny new threads or a link to that days or weeks cool thread. Plus a reminder to check out their forums for new cool threads. So if people only interact with the forums through bookmarks you just make a tweak to bookmarks.

I mostly lurk the UK thread because it's been 9 years since I moved away so I don't feel I have much to say about current politics but it's nice to find out what fuckwittery is occurring over there.
So, yes, UK thread good.

I like cspam because it feels like the only place to discuss the world without deranged fascists with liberal brain worms who can moderate reality out of the room.

It seems like the biggest problem with cspam is that mods and IKs seems to be chosen exclusively from a pool of the most annoying, thin-skinned losers on the site and there's no obvious way to get rid of them when they continually make awful calls that drive everyone insane. This is not uniquely a cspam problem but it's where you asked

Seconding this. CSPAM moderation is on a sub mongoloid level

i definitely think people should be encouraged to post more cspam threads but i wonder how much of it, as spinz said, is people forum posting where on the android app at least you can't create new threads

Anyway here's a suggestion: immediately start harshly probing anyone who posts about "poofing a beefer." that one unlovable dumbass started posting it everywhere and now it seems to be catching on with a subset of brainless slugs who are too stupid or afraid to attempt their own jokes so they just post the last thing they saw that everyone seemed to like. It's the worst kind of white noise posting and should be eradicated for the good of all forums

it's chill how the grey forum people have no idea what makes a meme or catchphrase funny so they just repeat some dumb word a bunch. meanwhile last time I used an epic old grey forum catchphrase I received many empty qoutes, because it was an actual joke. im not a fan of banned phrases or other forms of word filter modding but it's so commonplace that I can understand why mods try it

It would be nice for there to be less catchphrases to inspire some more creativity. It's only funny for the ingroups and people use them like swear words to make posts better and it ends up just making posts unreadable. I don't think I'd want it to be an official rule where mods are hunting down people for it, but less emphasis on using them would be cool.

this does remind me of that one "nihilism :( vs nihilism :thumbsup:" meme tho, in terms of how people handle a bleak world outlook. be a little less self serious about it, i guess.

yeah, I agree with this, the only type of “doomerism” mods should crack down on is people eagerly hoping to see more death and suffering so their posting can be vindicated, and that is definitely a much rarer outlook than just plain pessimism or nihilism

I like the Musk thread and the Cyberpunk dystopia thread. Things seem to stay pretty chill in them. They are both super long though and could maybe be rebooted? A new OP for the Cyberpunk thread shouldn't be difficult, but there is so much insane Musk stuff that should probably be preserved for future generations like the "how do I escape a burning Tesla from the back?" "You don't." picture. People would need to mine the thread for all the good stuff because for every 5 insane things you remember Musk doing there are 10 more you forgot.
