Yeah this has been resolved already, in a satisfactory way.

I think this was what, the third iteration of the rules drama, and basically nothing's substantially changed, the last kerfuffle I recall was failing to tag a NWS post that would have been dinged months ago under prior rules. I suppose ramp probing the trollpatrol has gone a long way towards things quieting down, so that's a positive change overall.

Giving out actual consequences to people that come into the thread solely to start poo poo, and it is the same group of people every time reliably, has done a lot to stop it.

Is removing drive by trolling in gbs a good thing? Some things, some people, need to be trolled. You end up taking yourself too seriously otherwise.

I think Applewhite was treated harshly on reflection.

I am not surprised that it was upped to a ban plus thirty, which isnt unwarranted, but i am surprised at the stubborn refusal to actually pass any rules that would prevent it from happening again.

Relying on nebulous "problem posters get the hammer" rulings is just setting the stage for another big drama flare up when the wrong "problem poster" gets hit.

I agree, we need more and more granular rules. Spell out exactly what mythical species dicks we can or can't draw, and if someone draws a dick that belongs to a cryptid that nobody thought to include in the rules, well hey, tough poo poo guys, shoulda remembered to include mothman dick in your rules.

We don't have to have a crazy rule for everything, issues can he reported and dealt with calmly and efficiently if they are a problem.

I don't think a ban+30 for making a porny cyoa is equal to something like Synthy telling an admin to kill themselves, which got the same treatment. One has humour and boners as the intention, which is noble in its own way.

No, but "no posting fetish porn" as a rule after the deviantart debacle would ot solved this problem neatly.

This doesnt need particuliarly complicated rules to solve.

The other problem is the more you expand, clarify and specify rules the more annoying nerds use it to try and rules lawyer then being dicks because they think the internet follows the same rules as their debate teams. "I didn't *technically* break any rules so therefore you can't ban me!" Wah wah, gently caress off.

Follow the spirit of the rules, not the letter.

Agreed completely, but that is a better situation than currently exists where "forums problem posters" linger for years because the mods dont want to pass a rule forbidding serious discussion of animal cruelty or whatever so they dont get dinged for it. Currently in some areas I dont think the "spirit" of the rules even properly exists in a way thats enforcable.

Rules lawyering is a problem wherever you are, Even at a professional level where you have engineering companies stamping stuff "made in the UK" becsuse they put two holes in the chinese stuff they imported. However, Rules lawyering in itself is a pretty good indication of someone posting in bad faith in the first place. Anyone arguing "ah!!! Well technically by posting clothed ladies instead of naked ones i didnt breach the no porn rule" knew full well they were skirting it and trying to be cute, for instance.

I guess if people really want to argue the toss they can try it in SAD, where luckily people are even more aggressively against rules lawyering.

while i still think the whole thing could have turned out different, the call was sound and it was resolved p good.

don't see how the rules gotta be changed to specify

it should be possible to have a NSFW cyoa or deviantart thread or whatever and not have it be a complete fuckup. it's a defect that it is not possible to have this.

Couldn't agree more, which is why the existing set of rules solved the problem.

"Do NOT post porn or any "questionable" material in GBS;"

It's literally the first rule in the forum rules, unless we count the advice about lurking. I guess we could change the wording to include the word fetish, but then unfortunately people would be allowed to post non-fetish porn.

Woah hey now, Synthy didn't tell Astral to kill himself, let's not spread untrue rumors.







He only fantasized about how terrible his death would be and the horrified grief of his family and how much he would enjoy it all. Yaknow, normal stuff.

I'm going to say this as plainly as possible so even you cannot misinterpret or understand:

It would be very very cool I could read 1 place on the internet where someone wasn't being incredibly loving weird about trans people, either very much against us just existing or looking other posters dead in the eye and screaming for all to see "You're my jack off material look at everything I've written about people like you and drawn so that I can beat my dick off".

Seeing a drawing of a penis isn't the issue really. It's the actual content and writing of the drawings and posts and his other drawings that sucks rear end not just that they were technically NSFW.

I don't know it you're just actually too stupid to understand that or you're pretending being this stupid to try and own some imagined cabal of posting enemies because you're mad about the thread getting taken away but either way you just seem stupid and you've missed the point of anyone's objections entirely. So shut up.

Well it clearly was and always was and that's what people were complaining about at least partially. It's why that goldmined comic got gassed so to have that happen and then you say "Oh people are just so prudish, It was just a cartoon penis" makes you seem like you don't give a poo poo so yeah I had to talk to you like that because all I have to go on is you posting poo poo that's trying to dismiss people's complaints RIGHT AFTER that poo poo got removed for how much of a freak he was about trans people in it.
