i'm trying to remember what dumb thing sparked this off and i guess it was the gbs ukraine thread sending the drama crew into orbit because thread closures and permabans were not fast enough in coming, causing them to start blowing themselves up, leading to the thread closing, and so the dominoes continue to fall

looking forward to the big one, whatever it is

I think basically it's just a bunch of overly reactionary punishments sending people into a spiral, that it happened to center around the war topic definitely made it worse but would have been a blowup either way given the tensions building since qcs closed

it was the drama crew trying to get some of the gbs mods removed and saw the war thread as an opportunity. it was a continuation of the argument of whether you can say oval office in GBS or not, which the drama crew also lost pretty handily even before jeffrey's tactical thread nuke.

basically, same fights that have been happening for months, except that the drama crew looks like it's finally wearing down on admin nerves.

basically it's like when g*d kept interfering with the lives of humans in the old testament.... coming down and turning folks into pillars of salt (probes) for their sins. perhaps g*d should be silent for a while, let things play out and ignore the wailing prayers of the sagas complaint karens

in this metaphor, Majorian showing up late and saying that the posters who were unduly punished were "asking for it" to try and lower the temperature is equivalent to the townsfolk trying to pimp their daughters to the mob so they'd get distracted and leave the angels alone

I'm genuinely believing that Azathoth didn't read the QCS planning thread because it was made after he trimmed his bookmarks down to UFOs and NBA

Strongly disagree. CSPAM threads have a high propensity to just be content-less junk, with it being easy to find whole pages without a single content post. D&D is good, but has too many rules to capture a sufficiently diverse discussion and a high-enough tempo to capture current events. For several topics for which threads exist in all three places, I’ve gravitated to the GBS threads as the most topical, informative, and active threads.
The only thing that this no-politics rule would do is allow is make some admin headaches disappear for a while.
