according to reports itt those nazi dickpreg posting pals have taken over a cspam thread? if so they should be crushed. idk i don’t follow the internet tough guys thread

this feels like a weird thing to just have floating around unsubstantiated so like not on threat of probe or anything but if someone could clear this up or just report bad posts from there or something, it would be appreciated. or send me a PM with what's objectionable.

full disclosure, I read that thread for a good long time before I was a mod but lost interest a few months before getting the star, so I'm at least familiar with it from back then. it seemed like an alright if kinda aggro thread but I stopped reading as part of a conscious attempt to consume as little right wing propaganda as possible, even for laughs

what was the gist pf the chipmunk porn kerfuffle? I think I missed out on that one by virtue of not giving a gently caress

Flavius Aetass was IK'd then later modded in CSPAM as a result of his(?)/their time spent as a Trump thread regular. He did a lot of contentious stuff as a mod that that a "main character syndrome" moderator would do, which included moving an entire thread full of his detractors to FYAD so that everyone there could be punished by FYAD's IK/Mod buttons, if they so desired.

Basically, Flavius Aetass somehow became a "liability" to FYAD, "extradited" a bunch of CSPAM posts to FYAD, and then a little bit later got himself caught up in a kerfluffle where he defended a very specific image of the Chipmunks (of Alvin fame) getting blowjobs from cartoon silhouettes as nothing more than a "twitter meme", as opposed to a depiction of child pornography, and this was the straw the broke the camel's back.

No one defended Flavius' assessment that this was a cartoon meme 'allowed' on twitter, other than SpiderHyphenMan, who also got banned as a result of all this. Flavius (then mod) autobanned and sometimes pops in to LMAO at something???? It's weird and I wish everyone involved peace.

I could also be full of poo poo. My perspective is faulty, please someone course-correct..~!

someone (not Flavius but I think a mod but definitely not a C-SPAM mod) posted a pick in QCS of Alvin and the Chipmunks getting BJs. for reasons that entirely escape me at the moment, Flavius jumped to their defense then autobanned. it did not make any more sense in context at the time than it does after this explanation

it was spiderhyphenman that got permad during the chipmunks thing

if there's enough folks around here who want to talk about witchy stuff, I'd say go for it. there's enough overlap with the world of UFOs and witchy stuff that I have a passing familiarity, even if I'm not a believer, let alone a practitioner. the criticism of it as being a bougie affectation always rung a little hollow since the folks i'm acquainted with who are into it are about as far from bougie as it gets but if the thread is gonna survive that would be something that the folks there should be able to respond to

also in the interest of full disclosure the edibles have kicked in so i may be very much misreading your post

enough folks have those avs that we can't give out new ones, but I did put in a request with the admins to swap out your ghost of kyiv one for the secure click, we'll see if they approve it. if you don't see it in a couple days, thems the breaks.

I read some posts from snoos and larry and I can see why neither of them post here anymore

the witching thread seemed like it really couldn't roll with the punches at all. the posts people were making about it being dumb looked a lot like light ribbing and the three main people of thread didn't deal with it well. i think that's the main thing people were criticizing- witchcraft and poo poo is for fun, but for something that's supposed to be a lighthearted mental exercise, it sure seems like people took any jokes about it very very seriously

So that would be an incredibly useful function, but it would afaik be p much impossible to maintain. 1) The system is only set up to filter posts by forum, so they show up in sub-subforums in the mod forum. If such functionality were implemented that would mean a sub-sub-subforum for each major thread. 2) This would be nearly impossible to maintain, especially since so many threads get reset often or new ones pop up. 3) IKs are currently only assigned to a particular thread informally and not all IKs are even assigned to a thread. I don't know if the system would even support per thread buttons training.

Also I really regret never getting back to you with that PM when I was a mod. You raised really good points and I didn't know how to address them at the time and was up to my ears with modbrain poo poo so I kept putting off a response and then all that poo poo happened. Sorry about that.
