No idea where that critique would come from, it gets real open pretty quickly

Can't comment on balance since I don't have superbullshit levels of build yet though

anyway game good, try it imo

Well it won’t let me reset my twitch password for some reason. Crazy loving irritating because it will send me the reset link but greys out the “reset password” button for no reason

E: JFC it was password requirements and apparently "fair" password strength is not good enough for twitch. GTFO goddamn.

For future reference re: dissenting opinions on the active COVID threads, I think it'd be more productive to have a better counter to "it's not al like that" than telling the person to gently caress off or whatever. The deadly bon bons and dog bricking posters ate bans because they did stick out above the sea of nonsense chatter and white noise.

They were funny/horrifying moments, and if there's more amusing bits to have a passing laugh at, I'm fine with them getting linked here. If there's horrifying, gross, or depressive stuff that's not being stopped, I can take it to the mods or admins because I find that poo poo intolerable. Or bring it another mod/admin, or post them in SAD so they can be acted on.

I thought this thread's response was fine. Hopefully people will look at it as an example of someone being able to point out a thing they think is bad itt without having a big messy meltdown over it and then getting dogpiled.

And for the record, I'm not picking on these things because I want this thread to 'stop being mean to the covid thread'. I think sharing silly or weird posts from it to laugh at is fine, and I think the meanspirited jokes at its expense at fine. And yeah, anything that crosses lines should be posted in SAD, and if people want to post it here first to see if others agree it's bad enough to take to SAD, that's a good thing too.

But I think the unfunny serious-posting about how 'everyone in [megathread] is [bad trait]' stuff is a big part of why the old Saga thread got closed and I'd like to avoid seeing that happen again. And also I think the grudge posting here makes the covid thread worse in a couple of different ways too, and I like that thread and don't want it to get weird and insular either.

I parsed users avatars back in january and I was able to do a 'search' for gangtags by just finding images in avatars that were used across multiple users. Should be able to find many older or lesser known gangtags through this, but it also has regular avatar images mixed in.

I've made a paste bin of the html to look at all of the gangtags (about 1200 images, 56k no!). Save it as an html or paste it in to some live html editor.

lol, this is a good example of why I think the admins had such a hard time explaining the 'problem' with the saga thread. Because this post is funny, but it encourages people to post unfunny stuff, and those posts also aren't bad enough to punish, but the sum result of the bad posts becomes an issue eventually.

Basically this, except I also think more people should post in the CSPAM megathreads because new people posting is what stops them getting insular and weird, and the more people sit here grudge-posting about them the more the only new people they get are the weirdos who hear 'that thread is full of assholes' and go 'sounds like my kind of thread!'

I'm at work so I can't grab quotes, but they're the posts I quoted itt recently. If you need me to, I'll requote them when I get home.

But I think I've been pretty clear about what sort of posts I'm talking about (the ones that aren't sourced quotes and aren't jokes, and which paint entire threads as being bad in really specific ways).

Can you explain what part about that is confusing, or is it just framing them as 'grudge posts' you disagree with?

It was the hell thread and was a really funny idea at the time but it was the dumbest possible plan to deal with that issue. What ended up happening was that it just created a bunch of antibiotic resistant bacteria that rotted and festered until the point that amputation was needed.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
I don't really like it when threads are winking back and forth at each other and eventually the dumbest, most obnoxious people in either thread decide a civil war is underway and start jumping into the threads and start turning both into gibbering flame wars. I don't believe it's a coordinated thing and rarely some properly directed grudge. Let's just skip over auditing each other's recent posts and find something else to laugh at.

The hell thread was a combination of a gamergate thread, fat people mockery, and something else? It sounded like a really miserable combination of stuff that wouldn't lead anywhere good.

Iirc it was lowtax's idea so that's why I didn't just nuke it on sight. But I forgot what other abysmal topic got shoved in there alongside those ones.

I actually encouraged people to poo poo up the thread by offering plat upgrades and avatars and stuff for people who posted goatse or other shock images.
