Would be better if GBS had less 200 page single topic threads but it’s a losing battle. Personally I’m most offended by the office thread, so if we could drum up some real hatred against that I’d appreciate it.

I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

My feedback is to stop giving the ability to edit other people's posts to the sort of people who would need to be told not to do that.

Additionally, if the dipshit owner could come up with some guidelines, that might help.

Take it up in SAD, IKs being able to edit posts is something that isn't gbs specific, and if you need IKs to do low level mod stuff, that's part of what they have access to.

I've seen people get upset about this type of thing over and over, and I legitimately don't understand the issue. I can see how in some cases it could be abused, but what's your argument in this case? That Arf's original poo poo post was too valuable to society to be lost forever? That Smugworth has permanently ruined Arf's reputation because someone may think he smells his own farts?

We're a forum that celebrates the ability to change people's avatars so that every time they post, it appears they're telling the world they're a dumb bozo that smells their own farts. Why would we treat posts as sacrosanct?

The only time I've seen edits abused is by mods/admins covering up malfeasance and the only way around that is requiring like two other admins to sign off an edit or similar, which is slowm.

Given SAD literally circled the wagons for like 3 straight days because a gbs mod (who was being chain probed by FYAD and hence couldn't edit posts) didnt remove bad pictures within 5 minutes, i feel having to wait 23 hours for 2 admins to come online and sign off on a simple edit to remove goatse from a post might anger people.

Also, its pretty pathetic to poo poo up a thread, repeatedly catch probes for lazy trolling and then act sanctimonious becsuse a post got edited.

Or act sanctimonious for getting probed for lazy trolling in the first place.

But that's a huge part of their posting style so it's not like they're going to stop... feedback is to ramp the troll-toll if they've been warned

I love how one person makes a mistake and it's the guillotine for them, except if they're a posting pal then it's an oopsie and really we should give them some slack

It's been dealt with but if it happens again then we'll deal with it. He's not being deIKed because oh no an ArfJason post got edited. This is akin to burning down the Library of Congress because all posts are important or whatever apparently

This is an internet 1.0 forum. Who gives a poo poo if one post in a feedback thread in a forum you actively despise is edited?

I've accidentally edited posts. Hell, once I meant to quote this great effort post but it was like 6 am and I wasn't paying attention and instead I edited almost the entire thing out and put what I wanted to say in there instead. Whoops haven't made that mistake since!

No, it just means that not everybody is an avid SAD reader and knows about every single outrage that is brought up there.

The habit of posters running to complain about GBS in SAD, bypassing the forum-specific dedicated feedback thread would also be an issue.

It's just how the forums are. Is it your forum that you like, or something you actually approve of? Then why are you going to complain in SAD? You should do it in the forum it happens in (so my friends can punish you for complaining)!

Is it something you disapprove of, or happened in a forum you hate, and/or done by a poster you dislike? Well, it's been ten seconds so time to run to SAD and yell at the admins until they cave and do what we want.

the people moaning about such an innocuous edit are the most boring whiny bitches on the whole of SA. one minute caring about probes is bitchmade, except when it's their posting buddy, then they all jump in to epically troll this thread with amazing posts such as "aids". posters like 16bb who can't even log off when they're probed for 3 days for some reason. still sitting there probing people in the musk thread instead of doing anything else, almost feel bad for him.

Id like to formally apologize. Ive asked around some of my lgbtq friends and i was told that posting things like "this thread is aids" is insulting to gay people. Going forward, ill express my distaste for the grey forums in more thoughtful ways, as I never meant to offend or in any way make gay folk feel alienated, diminished or attacked. That change starts now:

This thread is GRIDS.
