The PYF Sagas thread is closed and will not be reopened. There were expectations set when the thread was allowed to return after being gassed previously, and those conditions were not met. This week, things escalated quickly to an unmanageable state, and Jeffrey was available to back up the decision to close the PYF Sagas thread. We have discussed this with The Saddest Rhino, and we appreciate his numerous attempts to get the thread back on track. Like we have previously mentioned, the admins do not see this as a moderation failure because Rhino was in communication with us and trying to navigate one of the most difficult threads to manage after closing QCS.

PYF is one of the most welcoming forums on SA through a lot of hard work over the years, and we do not want to see its reputation damaged. In its current form, the PYF Sagas thread is creating a rift between users on the site, instead of bringing them together. That has not always been the case. When the Sagas thread worked, it was under constant daily moderation to keep it on track for historical sagas, not current drama. It is clear to us that goons are incapable of understanding where that line is, including how to watch "drama" from a distance and not take the jokes to a personal level. Unfortunately, it has now begun to spread to other places around the forums -- including the mod forum. We cannot let this administrative failure further impact the rest of this site.

Thankfully, we have a space built within these forums for funny flame wars and "no rules" posting - it is FYAD. If someone wants a place to make fun of the weird hosed up poo poo that happens on this website, FYAD exists. Hell, it even has a thread for making fun of this stuff for ages.

thread closed

i always had a lot of goodwill toward jeff. he kept the lights on, however poorly, during lowtax's decline and imo he saved the forums from liquidation. that goes a long way with me. which is why i always chose to believe that jeff being a moron and constantly tripping over his own dick (mutilated from loving computer - many angles) was just a product of computer brain. but over the last few months ive come to understand that while this may still be true, hes also a pathetic little pissbaby convinced that owning the forums commands respect. but it doesnt, because hes a moron with no impulse control or ability to find correlation between events. this contradiction is the source of his psychic pain, which he transfers onto the users. he is not only unwilling but incapable of change. i cant even be mad at him, in the same way that steve brule couldnt be found competent to stand trial. it just sucks.

anyway thats why I'm going to brutally and insanely gently caress Jeffrey of yospos's rear end in a top hat until he stops being a sobbing bitch :cheers:

it read to me more like the pyf thread just did what it always does and outed a horrible cesspit by finding specific examples of why it sucked and calling them out.

if anything the cspam posters having backed off the forum wars poo poo pretty much entirely was probably the main reason pyf went after them.

yeah the impression I got was that while it was 'GBS vs CSPAM' it was just seen as politics forum losers having a slapfight but once that was out of the equation and the GBS Ukraine thread kept being hosed up, it got noticed again and a hue and cry was raised

I think it was mostly the slap on the wrist probes, from the mod/admin side. this happened quite a bit in c-spam as they cracked down on the forum following BNR split. whats seen as sufficient punishment inside vs out. what can look like enforcement inside, can be interpreted as tacit endorsement outside. which is why vyelkin/dreylad drop nukes on psycho posting. no trust in self regulation=destruction
