I don't have an up to date SA Mart thread or anything and I work mostly with Ink Pencils which are extremely difficult to get good pictures of but here are some quick cellphone pics of what I still have after the last time I did a SA Mart thread:

feedback: raise your fuckin standards. it is telling that there are several GBS regulars who, if/when they venture to other subforums, are probed on sight because their reputation precedes them, or simply end up eating a probe anyway because of how poo poo their posting is. i'm sure every subforum has its freaks but it is mostly GBS with regulars this terrible, i am sorry to say.

furthermore take a tougher stance and use your buttons more. multiple times in this thread seth has done the whole "ok shut up and keep it on topic" but does not throw the sixers to back it up. as such the same people do it again because they think you're toothless. so if a regular shits up the thread they get told to knock it off repeatedly but everyone's favourite butthead gets hit immediately for a light "gas GBS" troll. sixers are of course not worth getting mad about, they're a slap on the wrist. so slap some wrists.

and lastly - please shut down the crew accusations as and when they pop up. there is no crew and the sooner that people realise this the sooner they can focus on the real enemy - themselves.

drat sounds like some drama is going down. pretty funny to bust in here acting as if gbs is some crew that controls what its regulars do elsewhere while also telling gbs to stop making up crews though.

A poster's name is their avatar. Avatar change is like a cycle of reincarnation.

And trying to figure out if two avatars are just the same poster after an av change is like Buddhist monks wandering the countryside with the personal effects of some dead Lama, trying to divine who inherited his soul.

I crosscheck every unknown poster against a rolodex containing all the user IDs of my posting enemies

It's a lot of work to keep up with, to be honest

Someone brought it up before but the whole “one guy posting in the Ukraine thread but nowhere else in GBS somehow equates to all of GBS” schtick is getting real old.

Exactly, that's why I was wondering. If they're gonna start judging entire sub-forums based on 1 poster then lol lmao. Every forum here has a psycho lurking somewhere

Real, earnest feedback:

Can we come up with a set of guidelines for what constitutes poo poo posting in GBS? Maybe form a committee for approving posts? It's so much work having to skim over all the poo poo posts that we all, everyone in GBS, dislike. I would like a curated set of high quality posts I can read at my leisure without having to wade through all the chaff, I don't think that's too much to ask.

So a few things here:

I posted through the era where the only standards that mattered were mod- created standards. This led to bans for mod sass, probations/bans for incorrect grammar/one word posts, probations/bans for image macros, probations/bans for image leeching, etc. That's when this site started to become unfun. I have no desire to return to the era where we all had to cosplay as 19th century Victorian upper class in London because mods wanted to enforce their (and only their) standards, damned be what the community thinks or wants.

I do not control where other posters post. I can advise them not to post in certain places because of reputations, but that's all I can do. If I believed there was a concerted effort to invade/mess with other forums, I would deal with that absolutely. But (almost) every forum is open for anyone to post in, and, much like having a passport and traveling to another country, you are subject to the rules of said forum when you post there. I'm rarely if ever going to do extrajudicial punishment unless I hear something from someone in another forum about a regular here.

I'll use my buttons when appropriate. I'm not going to sixer people for derails. That's dumb. This forum operates differently than IZ which operates differently than CSPAM which operates differently forum BSS. I'm not enforcing another forum's ecosystem here. A warning/ask does just fine for the most part.

Finally, I'm not blanket shutting down any "crew" accusations. People are free to post/what they believe in, even if I don't believe it. If they violate some rules, then I'll take action. Otherwise I'm not moderating positions.

I do appreciate the feedback though
