Hey are you...uh ever going to elaborate on

Cause you come across as someone imagining the suffering of your forums enemies and you seem like a real weirdo for it.

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.

Oops, thought this was the chat thread

I don't really think the issue was solely hinged on the fact people saw dragon tits or crystal cock. A recurring motif that took all of a couple of minutes to unearth was an ongoing portrayal/usage of trans characters in such a way that made a large number of this website's trans community go from maybe giving AW the benefit on the doubt to going full on nope.

The big long post about dragon gender and sexuality was super gross and I 100% agree that that was way more problematic than the drawings. For the record I agree with the ban +30 for that post in particular.

Yeah I had stopped reading that thread before getting to that post and it was gross as all hell. And then reading back to the linked CYOA in the ban reason and it`s been clearly a thing for him.

This is already in the current rules written over a decade and a half ago. It's called "keep all images work-safe" on page 2.

Yeah, and Applewhite had a similar thread a few years ago that was goldmined. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3721418&userid=0&perpage=40&highlight=space,tits&pagenumber=1

If the rules haven't changed in a decade and a half, why was it a gold mined thread 5 years ago and a gas chamber thread today?

It's fairly normal for standards and sensibilities to change over years. The front page for example, has many examples of poo poo that would not fly today (there's a lot of racist poo poo in old comedy goldmines, there were articles written about and showing cartoon CP, and just a lot of poop-touchery) and even though it's "part of the website" it does not mean we haven't moved away from it. We have, and that's good.

I can understand wanting to have clear rules that outline everything that's permissible or not but if you stopped and listened to what some of the posters were uncomfortable with, it's not about a desire for punishment for the sake of control or whatever and it's not about NWS content. Applewhite is still free to come back after his ban time is over. Losing a goldmined thread is a minor blow to the ego at worst.

I hope everyone has a good day and plays video games and gets a full rest

Last thread was like what 5 or more years ago? Trans awareness has advanced a ton in that time and yes, while that that thread wouldn’t fly today the overall feeling was different then. To be clear, I’m not saying it’s OK then or now, I AGREE WITH THE BAN +30.

The overall problem here is you SAD folks don’t want fair moderation; you want moderation on your side and to constantly relitigate everyone’s old posts except for YOUR “pet freaks”. I bet 90% of Synthy’s posts are “stupid bitch” and the f-slur in addition to the rape “joke” but you won’t accept criticism of that because he’s “funny”*

It's okay to grow and reflect on previous community behavior, as a community, and decide as a community that the old behavior isn't something which is acceptable and not should be glorified, and doing something about it like gassing a bad thread from the goldmine

My feedback is: I think the grooming standard has fallen by the wayside here.

I see a lot of posters with mu-stache hairs extending beyond the corners of their lips. Now, that just wouldn't fly in my day and I'd like to see the mods do something about it. Posters like Smugworth rely on the rules and the grooming standard for stability and guidance. That's something worth believing in and enforcing.

Given the apple white situation and the fact a whole bunch of people who had never posted in there before were streaming in I locked it until I could get a handle on what that thread is and whether it should remain live

I'll make a decision tonight (assuming I have energy)
