Mods: lets make a pressure release thread in CCCC so that active posters can shut up another thread instead of USPol. Also mods: no not like that

I get the feeling some hammers are coming down all over the forums, and USPol was the first one. It was first because it would cause the least friction.Harold Fjord posted:I'm very curious about this alleged near helldumping. People who had never posted in the thread came in just to go after someone who did post regularly.

I love that they gave no warning or feedback or did any moderation whatsoever. Nuclear first strikes are immoral Koos

I don't know that I'd go so far as to say "without issue" But we were all pretty clear on what we were doing and mostly didn't cross any major lines I think. Anyway, hi dad chatters. I'm back!

Judgy Fucker posted:I get the feeling some hammers are coming down all over the forums, and USPol was the first one. It was first because it would cause the least friction. You are right. I have been informed that Jeff is moving ahead with some plans to eliminate "containment threads" in general across the forum and stopping the practice of sending "bad" threads to CCCC to be unmoderated. Not sure what the Helldumping thing is referencing specifically. I think maybe referring to the Mellow Seas pile up and someone mentioning his dead family member? Weed chat, memes, youtube, and all that jazz are fine here. I've also been told to stress that people should not be organizing crossforum posting or brigading. But, pretty much all discussions are fine and most of the general D&D rules don't apply. They might re-open a new thread with an IK and some rules about cross-forum posting and harassment.

Someone with buttons needs to find a thread that Koos actually enjoys and close it so he knows what he did to us.

I'm considering that now, and remaking the thread with rules about not talking about D&D or posters who aren't there. But I'm not sure if the crew would still be interested under those conditions.

But I'm not sure if the crew would still be interested under those conditions. Let's compromise and add a stylesheet to D&D, and we will stay here. Nobody should become thread cop that wants to because of the obvious moral quandaries. I don't think a rule against discussion of other threads makes sense when people want a place to discuss those in a casual context without a mall cop staring at them Heck Yes!
