Are we talking about radon or radium here?

Radium is the one your body mistakes for calcium.

radium was also mistaken for a competent website developer at one point

These two together is what stops the reregs from posting. Turns out Lowtax' quest for a cookie making machine accidentally created the only self improving social media there ever was

Nobody ever faulted lowtax for his ability to turn other peoples money into cookies. Hell, it's arguably his most likable quality at this point

The constant and easily-weaponized in-fighting on the left is never not going to be darkly funny to me. Everyone has to out-woke everyone else and point out every possible little flaw while the ravenous army of hate masses on their doorstep and they blow their chances to do anything about it.

Spinz posted:

This goon has successfully and succinctly written what I think, in the left and on SA in general too, and I've never been able to articulate it so well. I don't find it funny as much as aggravating af tho.

Thank you Nighthand

You can only break your dick by applying sufficient single direction force on the erect penis. Someone hits you in the dick, it just gets bruised and you can't use it for a day or two. Somebody hits while you've got a boner, yes you can break your dick and it takes weeks to recover.

It used to be worse. Humans evolved out of penis bones (bacula) and there are several theories floating around in the scientific community why. My favorite one is that early hominids kept kicking each other in the dick so the bacula got smaller and eventually just vanished completely.

It lasted until the first prehistoric family reunion when the cousins started a touch football game, and subsequently an entire family of males mutually destroyed their dickbones

Speaking of dunkin' on the taxman, it's not a quote per se but I'm a massive fan of the name of a goon Facebook group which is something like "RIP lowtax, if only you'd married your alcoholism you might have beaten it".

Sometimes I feel that many people in the forums get away with being complete and utter trolls, whereas some people (oh I dunno, like myself) get singled out for a lot of poo poo because I've become a household name on the forums.

The mods definitely like to play favorites. Admittedly, most of them are very very cool people, good posters, and it's quite clear why they're mods. There are, however, one or two raging thundercunts running about that just loooove singling out the same people over and over. I don't mind being probated or banned because of something I that I knew was blatantly inflammatory, but I loving detest and despise with every ounce of my being being banned/probated for something completely of opinion, subjective, or highly controversial while attempting to have a semi-intelligent discussion about it, simply because a mod has a bug up their rear end about the subject in particular.

The SA Forums moderation feedback thread!

n3rd posted:

I'm not sure how to deal with it but 50% of the replies in a GBS thread are either "omg 55555" type replies or "this/what he said" or an attempt at a witty one liner.

Please be more aggressive in gassing pointless threads ("Why am I Farting so much" comes to mind...). Back in the day a stupid newbie post would sometimes turn into some great mockery but now it's just a time waster for everyone involved.

Take another look at Goonerocity and re-define it to include more than just $. To me the guy who posted the "write me a poem about dinosaurs for my class" thread today was going way too far. Asking for assistance is one thing but "do my homework please" is totally bunk. I'm pretty iffy on "help me with my survey" too but I know others will disagree.

Consider *why* a poster is asking for help. Is it because Goons can actually help or is it just because we're a huge messageboard and *someone* will respond?

The low signal to noise ratio and aggressive but fair moderation is what makes SA great and it's been getting really noisy over the last few months. I think it's time for another round of Ban Hammer and maybe some Probation Mallet to remind people.
