Son of Thunderbeast posted:So, like I said, I'm starting with "retard". We can see how it goes from there. I don't plan to keep an ever expanding list of regional variations and their histories and contexts in my head, but if you see people getting cute about substitutions feel free to report and I'll take a look. Maybe we get it right, maybe not, there'll be misses on the way. For now we're starting from zero so I don't see anything wrong with starting with one word. Good Soldier Svejk posted:This continues to be brought up but like... I swear I see Trump thread posters all over the goddamn place. Where is the notion coming from that people who post in there are some insular enclave that don't engage with other threads? Obviously the less committed Trump thread posters are likely better able to adjust to the tone of each thread, which is why people don't recognize them as Trump thread posters - and conversely, why people call out obvious Trump thread posters because they seem incapable of doing it.

Probably Magic posted:Confused by protestant moralizing guy, like, would he be okay with Greek orthodox moralizing? calvinism: good things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people. good and bad are innate essences that you can't change. add in arbeit macht frei a garbage idea that is also expressed in the prosperity gospel it leads to all sorts of bad takes:
it's nicely compatible with capitalism because when someone gets hosed over you say it's their fault and when someone is rewarded with $500000 for being someone's son they earned it

This is a recurring antagonism that honestly, is artificial. General off-topic threads have leftist discussions, just far more pulverized rather than the 100% pristine immaculate pure historical materialist concentrate of the Marxism thread. I did some effortposting on some Marxist topics in the coolzone thread back then and people outside that circle responded well to it. Personally, talking in a very practical "advancement of socialism" sense, it would be extremely counterproductive to hinder people from just shooting their poo poo and having their posting fun just because it doesn't have a regular back and forth of politically charged chatting. The mistake here is to not regard CSPAM as an leftist environment, which I feel is a much better way to describe it, I don't know? Likewise, having moderation/administration that also has some knack for the political makes sense for this place. That doesn't mean it has to be an academic, erudite or whatever understanding of the issue (gently caress that poo poo), just an intuitive feel of the politics here. Dreylad and vyelkin are excellent picks for mods because they have this (besides being good posters).

Suggesting a move to CCCC is indeed a cowardly "out of sight, out of mind" fix for some who think the chat threads being gone would magically encourage a wealth of new threads (lmao), but it would also substract the threads from being subject to the whims of capricious c-spam mods in summary CCCC is a land of contrasts and gently caress all of you

hello I am finally not drowning in work so I can write some things here. (the other mods have been doing a good job  )Sherbert Hoover posted:I can't think of another forum on SA where one half of the posting base openly despises the other half this is a very strange phenomenon and it sucks. we have a ton of disparate threads with different tones and cultures, which isn't a bad thing in itself, but trying to unite them all under one cspam umbrella is difficult. inevitably, when we take a Mod Action on something, a large portion of cspam will hate it, and the other portion will love it. to put it another way: docbeard posted:CSPAM's got a handful of largely insular communities with some overlap but not that much (Trump thread, succ zone, the hardcore Marxists, the people who are only here to talk about cum town, I think the COVID thread is largely its own thing, and I'm sure there are others) and I generally think that's fine but I also think it's something that needs to be acknowledged and understood. it creates a bit of a disconnect between mods and users because I think the goal of most mods is to foster a happy little community, which we see as all of cspam. but here, it's more like a dozen little communities, so what "community" means is different for everyone. do we make decisions for the sake of all of cspam, or do we make decisions for individual threads? it's a push/pull dynamic that's not so easy to navigate and I think we (mods) should be more cognizant of it. Tiler Kiwi posted:Honestly the thing in cspam I think is more an issue than like, doomposting or bad words is just that people can get into this state of being both extremely negative and extremely white noise. Its not just shitposts or drive by bon mots but this kind of irritating thing where people wanna be extremely pissy but also wanna just shadowbox endlessly in their corners instead of having an actual argument and also wanna be real self righteous about it too when they get called out in any way about it. its just a personal preference thing on my end but I wish people would leave that sort of thing in qcs or wherever they found it. I agree with this. people probably think cspammers are miserable people because our favorite pastime seems to be bitching about anything, really. the energy in cspam's most popular threads is negative overall. but on the other hand, we've got some of the best, most helpful threads on the forums (goonbucks, mental health, unions). so again, dichotomy, land of contrasts, etc. etc. When non-cspam goons bitch to me about cspam, I love to show them those threads. Tiler Kiwi posted:e: oh I have liked that people have been making more small threads, theyre good. if you have a small thread or even just a gag i think thats cool and you should make a thread about it maybe instead of sticking it in page 1500 of a big thread where i wont see it. i think there'd be more if there was less of that pissy thing i mentioned but idk im not an expert at all im just guessing okay bye. yes please make more threads! more non-megathreads on the first page makes it easier to get new users in here hifi posted:also, the mods seem to rely on the "fyad-lite" aspect of c-spam as a crutch, kind of a "u mad" type reflection that doesn't really square with having a jobs thread and a monetary aid thread that the mods toot their horn about as a refutation of posting as praxis. if the forum isn't serious then none of that poo poo is serious. I agree. the fyad-lite designation really doesn't fit in anything but the "make whitenoise shitposts" category, the fact that chain probes are available to iks if they want (which is mostly inconsequential), and that users can be mean poopyheads to each other. honestly I'd rather people chill out on that last one especially. some threads are much more like a byob-lite in terms of tone and helpfulness really. And finally, regarding slurs: this is a leftist space and punching down sucks. the majority of mods and iks don't like that poo poo, but it's been enforced sporadically because of lack of staff (I was the only mod for a couple months), or unwillingness to deal with the problem because of pushback or lack of direction, which was understandable. yes, we need to look at context and not just be human word filters. we also need to be more consistent in probating for slurs, and hopefully with a larger mod staff and discussion among us we can do that.
