I was 16 and asked why girls didn't like me. Turns out ya gotta be nice and ask em out. I also wrote "plutonic" rather than "platonic" in the title so there was some riffing about that besides the well deserved ribbing about being a dorky 16 year old whining about his thirst. I can't think of anything comparable. No, no one is forcing me to admit this.

Going back to GBS feedback for a second: Can the GBS mods clarify how much and how far the new "No sucking or being cringe" and "no self promotion" site rules be applied in GBS? I occasionally post from a position of expertise for bolting and heavy industry for powergen and oil and gas (which is my career) in the OHSA and Schadenfreude threads, and its not really clear from SAD how far you need to go before its bannable.

Similarly on the new "no sucking" rule, what specifically qualifies as sucking or cringe in GBS that would get a punishment? Again the SAD team seemed fairly unsure on this too so Im assuming its left to the subforum discretion.

I'll state that I've been only very loosely following the whole Brown Moses thing, partly because of self preservation but mostly because I don't really care about this particular drama

My feeling is if you're contributing something to the community, please promote yourself! Whether it's art or jewelry or knowledge, we can use more people sharing their expertise. I would say there's a line, and the line's at "when it gets too annoying" i.e. you're promoting your website like daily or finding ways to shoehorn your promotion in places it clearly doesn't belong. This is not an exhaustive list and I always fall back to Potter Stewart's maxim of "I'll know it when I see it".

Of course anything I say can be superceded by site policy but I'm unaware of a policy on SA that says "no self promotion anywhere".

As for cringe just don't be an idiot. The site is self moderating but if you're talking about beating off to, idk, industrial excavators in excruciating detail, that's cringe. For my mental health I rarely read SAD so unsure what that's in reference to.

When I worked at Ocean Spray as a temp during cranberry season many years ago, me and all the other Temps got our forklift licenses by watching a videotape while the "instructor" filled out the papers. That was it and it was the disaster you'd expect.

You could redraw your avatar in your style and put a link to the sidsons underneath? That's been done a lot and it's an ad for every single one of your posts. Seems smarter and less mod risky than just stumbling into a thread to hock your admittedly adorable and GOOD art dear Sidward. But also "gently caress da mods just post."

Maybe we can do some kinda GBS Art Fair/Art Sale thing because I also have a lot of paintings that I want to sell + really need money right now. I've been able to sell some in SA Mart in the past but GBS would get way more traffic, or even maybe a GBS art fair thread where artists can post their artwork + link to a SA mart thread selling it or something

I like the sound of this. It could also serve as a way of letting people know SA Mart exists and is a good resource. The number of times I've seen people in the PC Building thread in SH/SC unaware they could get a Windows license in SA Mart for like $20 makes me think a lot of goons aren't familiar with SA Mart.

Actually you should buy art from my friend Sid because when I said I "really need" money it's because I want to buy a video game and can't afford it right now.

I had an avatar that advertised my thread and I lost it when I was slamming spr.

It took me 20 bucks to get it right back then so I haven't replaced it yet.

I would post in some GBS art thread if anyone had any questions. I'm in a couple giant craft fairs soon, one will get 100,000 people in a day
I've been doing it for years. The last one I was in I made $1700 in 6 hrs :dance:
