Not everyone is as brave as you... Come to think of it, are you currently part of any Forum Brigades? Would you like to be?

Thread/subforum bans shouldn't even be a thing. If somebody is being a shithead, handle it. If they're willing to stop being a shithead it should be allowed, and even celebrated.

Like, Erosion has demonstrated multiple times in this very thread that they're a useless, disingenuous, fucker who only posts in PYF to start poo poo. But if they ever put in the effort to stop being a complete pile of trash, and wanted to participate in PYF threads on an honest level, that's a good thing.

EDIT: well lol @ that happening while I was typing.

Fwiw they’re a lovely PYF troll running rampant because SPR isn’t here to probe them. Probably a solid candidate for “first PYF forumban ever”

i think things have been far worse in the past but it's really discouraging to see old behaviors coming back, and like no effort to fix this. like anyone with a brain can tell that the lack of communication with the admin staff is a problem, and that's not difficult to fix, but instead we get all this

You're right that we're not at the 'close entire subforums & ban users based on entirely fabricated nonsense from legitimately insane people' territory yet. But you can draw a fairly straight line based on current trajectory.

We're at level 'Begrudgingly punish our friends while nuking the people pointing out their weirdness' .

I know what they are, but I dream of a world where they would be banned/probed constantly for doing this poo poo, but would be allowed to come back when they stopped.

As opposed to the current reality, where they suffer no punishment at all, but thread bans are used as a bullshit way to punish people the admins hate.

The issue isn't the brigade you absolute clown-creature, it's the incredible sequence of events leading to the brigade even existing!

If I post about how it's stupid as poo poo that QCS is still closed, is it suddenly invalid because 36 other people agree with me? How insane!

God, "posting pals," what petty tribalism. I mostly post about Magic: The Gathering for God's sake but insane stupid horseshit keeps happening and I want this community to not trip on infinite rakes! But it's ok that all wrong choices are made because too many people disagree about it!

posting pals are to be assigned at an authorized posting pal registry, one pal pair for each, according to common interests, posting styles, and contrasting qualities brought to a thread.
It is a bond that lasts for life, and is not to be taken lightly!

Fraudulently labeling or otherwise depicting emotional support posters as posting pals is punishable by up to three years detention in bust rodds post history

if what some of the mods have said in this thread is accurate i imagine some of the mods arent communicating because they dont know what the gently caress to say

youve seen it repeatedly with mods getting hung out to dry by the admins or the mods saying something and then the admins immediately doing something else

What about this current state of affairs pleases you, that you would characterize dissenters as unjust?

Like dude I get that people can be a bit loud and obnoxious about things, but that's partly due to the way things have to be done here. We can email the admins of "hey there's a gross thread in GBS where the IK is also posting fetish poo poo" and nothing gets done until things go nuclear and we pick up the pieces. Anyone threatening the mods or directly insulting them is annoying and is just making things worse. But they're frustrated and that's how they express themselves so whatever


It's very clear that polite, well phrased and constructed posts are just flat out ignored so why bother spending the time to write 1000 words on something when "fuk u fat bithc" works better to call attention to something. I will say that you loving suck and are the type of mutant loser that I wish would stop expressing their opinion because you're stupid. gently caress you bitch

honestly, almost all these problems are easily addressed with dialogue and transparency. which is what makes it funny when they do the exact opposite and then get mad that people don't like it.
