It is very well documented that Canadians do not like to say rude words or otherwise foul language

If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!

In Canada, goof is the worst thing you can call someone, but whether it means a diddler or just a massive loser varies by region. It's not considered a slur or hate speech. oval office is used almost exclusively as a slur to insult women. As a woman, I do say it from time to time amongst friends but I don't think I've ever heard a man say it who wasn't a misogynist creep in every other way too. I don't say it in public, it's something you could very well lose your job over.

Pablo Negrogante or whatever is IK of the Sagas thread which has a rule about dumpster diving for old posts to own your enemies yet they are one of the worst offenders for doing just that. It’s like no one learned anything from the SPR drama.

We should probably close the UK thread and ban most of the active posters, especially the insanely powerhungry and abusive IKs. Just a miserable island full of the grumpiest wet blanket clout chasers you ever saw.

Is it possible to IP ban that whole region?

Just ban them for harassing posters outside of their little containment zone

I just don't think it's a great idea to give someone forumwide IK powers if they're going to abuse them. That's GBS feedback, surely?

If you're that concerned and/or upset about that one probe outside of the UKCT then you could speak to me directly or if you're not comfortable with that then PM Seth or another Mod and they can handle it from there. Making regular petty digs and turning yourself into a drama elemental isn't the best way to go about it.

Yeah pretty much

I haven't seen any problematic probes in GBS and if I did I'd be working with the IK or just have them removed because IK is pretty low stakes overall. I don't control other forums not what goes on there.

If you really wanna make it work, you make it pick from only posters with post counts in GBS in the 50% to 90% deciles, so that you exclude people who never post in GBS and hence don't understand it's rules and customs, but also exclude the people at the topend who post in GBS too much and are either terminally online wierdos, forums superstars liable to form a fiefdom or the incredibly tryhard people trying to game the system to get IK for a month.

God please no

More IKs sure, but monthly would be murder

Though I gotta say if we picked like, five out of a hat monthly with no regards to forums enemies or posting history it would be hilarious for a short time before descending into anarchy
