I like Majorian as a poster.

I also have mixed feelings on the prohibition of death posting. so much of civilization is organized around murdering the powerless for profit that it feels a bit like to not be able to publicly lust for the deaths of the oppressors. Like sure it would be better if the death posts were funny but so much of cspam is just unfunny wailing and gnashing of teeth and I feel like this is just a different flavor of that?

I do understand the history and all that though and I’d rather have cspam without death posting than no cspam so maybe better things aren’t possible.

imo, the "you can do it if it's funny" rule is to prevent the Ashley Babbitt effect -- basically what happens when it's socially acceptable for liberals to post the most deranged takes they can think of on a topic, it escalates into really unhinged and unfunny stuff pretty easily.

It's not about defending billionaires or even stopping people from posting about horrible things happening to them. It's just about putting the absolute minimal effort at humor into it, to avoid it turning into just pages of people posting about graphic death and suicide, which pretty quickly becomes posting about the graphic death and suicide of anyone liberals are mad at for related reasons.

Before posting, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post which is either funny, informative, or interesting on any level?"

no, this is lovely in dnd because its done to remove on topic posts from the threads they belong in ("immigration chat doesnt belong in the us politics thread" etc)

relitigating this stupid loving argument about chaz for the 100th time has nothing to do with cspam feedback lol

no one cares about this poo poo. more people on sa need to sincerely just let go of their forum grudges or whatever

i was reminded of a conversation we had in the succ zone

there were a lot of people sympathetic to the idea that maybe it's disingenuous to call taibbi rightwing and taibbi dialectics should be considered more fully. no frantic slapping of the report button and calls for bans.

i presented this case to the new landscape of the musk thread. being as nice as possible [i.e. boring], citing over a decades long support of sanders, support for specific policies such as medicare for all, essays about tying the censorship directly to the billionaire privatization of the commons and war propaganda. people were deeply upset that someone would dare suggest this.

idk where im going with this but i hope this helps for feedback

Here’s my feedback: I like cspam. Even though y’all don’t get everything right all the time you’re making a genuine effort at an essentially impossible task and I’m glad you’re here.

I do really dislike the good/bad thread forums warrioring though so it would be cool if there was less of that. Also if we could get 10000000 hour probes for idiots from other forums hate posting in the Covid thread I would like that. Idiots from other parts of cspam are still ok though.

merge the cum warriors, musk, and trump threads, then send them to GBS or gas them or something, not sure which fate is worse.

What you have to understand is that the Musk thread is a mock thread. It's like those threads about Blizzard or Star Citizen or w/e where people post 100000000 times about how much they hate the thing. People go there to call him Elong Muskrat and wish death upon him. Like here's a couple of recent posts:



And so on. You made posts which didn't attack Elon Musk, who is the new bogeyman, which means you support him. That's literally all they took from your posts. They don't care about the govt censoring social media. That's not what the thread is about.

there are way too many bernie avatars in that thread for it to be mostly GBS posters. you are welcome to go yell at the bad opinions if you want. ime people start saying that "most" of a thread's posters are from GBS when it hits like 10% GBS 90% CSPAM or so lol

Have we considered just giving each of the mega threads it’s own subforum and then we could forum wars even harder, and then maybe those subs could splinter into even more subs until we get to a beautiful endpoint where we’re each an ik of our own thread that only we post in that’s nested seven subs deep from a desolate CSPAM?

Every megathread is already feels like this. There are several threads where you'll see something like "crack ping syq open biden lol. lmao" and it rightfully looks like gibberish to anyone outside that thread.
