I gotta say I do admire the fact that you come to this thread rather than take potshots from the peanut gallery. It's an admirable trait.

Gotta post if you're trying to score more IK/mod belt notches. He's the mod-killer, after all.

Of course then the only sane thing for an IK or mod to do once they're in Arf's bad books is threadban him for trolling. And/or ramp the poo poo out of him.

No man, no problem. Stalin would approve.

It's not a typo

Gay Related Immunodeficiency Syndrome (GRIDS) was the original name for AIDS until they realized it wasn't just a gay exclusive disease

Ah, so the original, homophobic term during the gay panic, very normal.

I think it's wierd that IKs can call people and things gay as a pejorative in the lepers colony but not in posts but I assume that's for a good reason.

the solution is a rap sheet rap sheet where mods can be probed or banned for their posts on a rap sheet and it goes on their rap sheet rap sheet

hmm well poo poo.

It helps if you were alive in the early 80s, even more so if you were studying microbiology and your instructor used to subscribe to the CDC's newsletters and read to the class about this weird new outbreak of diseases in young, healthy gay men, that normally only appeared in old Italian men (Kaposi's sarcoma) and immunocompromised (PCP, Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia). They called it GRID. The virus was LAV or HTLV-3.

Later, they called it HIV and AIDS. Also, later still, came treatments. In the mean time however it was basically a death sentence no matter what you called it. Yeah, I remember.

it's literally not hard though? the threads get closed, resolved and sorted. checking the general discussion forum every once in a while might help iks/mods/users not repeat goofy decisions imo

Ignoring the AIDS posts because people want to insist that it's fine actually, it's still just low effort lovely trolling. If there's a problem with a thread existing, it's clearly not the best way to get it addressed. It's done only to stir up drama, despite all the phony pleas of trying to 'improve GBS'. It's transparent and that's why people react the way they do. Quit pretending like it's not the most obvious loving thing on earth.

Nom epique and similar posters repeatedly posted poo poo they were told not to in threads they were told to knock it off in. It went from multiple probes to bans. And justifiably so.

Why is this not a thing that's happening? Seeing people rack up a half dozen probes in as many days because they're having meltdowns on their so sovereign posting rights being infringed and making it clear they're gonna keep doing it why deal with the children throwing tantrums? gently caress it, just ban em and move on, no actual loss.

Mods can only auto approve up to one day, the rest has to be approved by admins. It gets put into a queue and run by the admin team after a spot check.

harsh and weird punishments to what is just very mild trolling doesnt work and just causes the trolling to escalate

if someone is crossing a line such as spamming browser breaking images then a harsh punishment is appropraite if you want to keep ramping arf or stux for saying gay and aids then the result is going to be multiple posters that arent stux saying gay and aids and a moderator or idiot king looking like a fool
