From what I understand from SAD posters rape jokes are ok if your name is Larry? Strange loophole but I don’t make the rules.

Derpies did a years long sexual harassment campaign against somebody.

If this is true, Derpies should be un-banned and forced to stand trial in SAD like a corpse synod. Derpies was mostly a GBS poster so this falls squarely within the bounds of the GBS feedback thread.

e: ^ but the topic was brought up in this thread before the probes

i don't think calling something aids or cancer or canceraids or whatever is offensive, but it is dated at this point. that lingo had its time. i wouldn't say anyone deserves a probe for it but you'll lose posting cred for sure.

Does posting cred really have that much value anymore.

OK so if I'm actually being sincere, I really do appreciate that this thread exists, but as others have said GBS is pretty much fine. GBS' purpose is for a wide variety of jokes and topics to thrown around liberally, and its mechanics and policies support that goal.

Megathread culture is kind of a nuisance, but not actually a problem... The slurs are largely under control... Pretty much every large main/sub would benefit from being more stringent about policing misogyny/transphobia...

Maybe visibility into who buys avs/red text would help dissuade abuse of those purchases, but that's more of a technical forum issue.

Thanks for the feedback!

Part of this is based on the SAD recommendation of larger forums having feedback threads, and it's one I agree with. I think if there's an open channel, we can deal with issues quicker than someone wondering if there's a mod around and PMing them with no response. Y'all can keep us honest here :)

I mean I'm glad it's going great! Always looking for ways to improve

The hardest feedback to get from people is that things are fine. It's the same issue with ratings for businesses and products. Most people are not going to give a review when their experience was "got thing, left, no hassle".

Even with open feedback threads you're still going to have issues getting a representative sample, even moreso when its a thread started by someone with an axe to grind.

So my overall feedback is the dreaded "Meets Expectations". GBS does what it says on the tin, enjoy your 3 out of 5 rating of "Was fine I guess".

If you want better I need to see some perks. Samples between the threads, discounts in other subs, complementary warm wristrests.

My earnest feedback is to bring back the CYOAs that were banished to a trad games subforum, bring back the low effort but funny MSPaint threads, and the very occasional photoshop threads are getting stickied at least, so good job there.

I guess the answer to me is to :justpost: one of those threads but I don't have the creativity for any of that.

Up here in the North East it's Cooplands or Morgans, but there are 12 Greggs within a 5 mile radius of where I live so it's often just easier to go to one of those

i'm in fife so even northernerer. there two greggs in my town but one's on the dead highstreet, and one's in a retail park. so i'm actually closer to the good local ones like Baynes and Stephens.

we lost a couple of great ones in the last five or so years though and i suspect greggs is at least partially to blame for why i can no longer get my little sponge cakes shaped like a racecar with marzipan wheels.
