vyelkin posted:I'm very sympathetic to the anger over Jeff's mass thread probe and I told him as much at the time, because even for those of us with healthy and happy social lives outside the forums, the forums are still one part of our social life where we post with friends and the holidays are a nice time to be with your friends. Like from my perspective I wasn't able to post about the busiest time of the Premier League season with my friends because like 80% of them were on probation and some of them never came back afterwards, which made me very sad, and I know the football forum is hardly the only place on SA with a similar story Yeah. What I said in the Apology/Massacre Thread is pretty much how I feel: I personally laughed a lot about it but I think people were absolutely justified in being pissed, and not just people who "live on the forums". A Buttery Pastry posted:Can't believe this has to be said in C-SPAM, but imposing American Christian traditions on the world is bad. Yeah, and not for nothing, but "go spend time with your family" is going to hit some people in a very different way than others.

Srice posted:Yeah there was a post somewhere in that feedback thread in PYF that listed the posters who never returned after getting caught in that mass probe crossfire. Many of whom had been around for quite some time. it's not even just posters dying by a thousand cuts, the organization of the forums produces constant antagonistic interactions between users and mods and admins. it inexorably ends with jeffrey and every well-intentioned mod/admin burning out, but i've given up and i'm not writing another screed about org dynamics. furthermore, I consider that fluffdaddy must be destroyed.

I think it's because they try to keep all the antagonism bottled up. used to be able to go anywhere and drop a 'go gently caress yourself' type of post and that'd be the end of it. now that sets off all the little snitches hammering the report button for 'brigading' or a 'forums invasion'... or the dreaded 'derailing', like these threads had an end goal or some point to them.
