If two grown men can't make a pervert happy for a few minutes in order to watch a film about zombies, then maybe we should all just move to Iran!

Slugworth is a fine IK and would be a fine mod.
Strictly speaking, they forgot to give me the ik buttons while Smugworth is gone, so it's hard to say for sure.

I see an unpinned open Friday thread and a locked chat thread.

Once again, I wish to convey that I find this unacceptable.

Good morning.

It's still technically Friday here but I went ahead and did the needful in case I forget to do it right at the stroke of midnight. In Pacific time, the best time zone.

Probably just posting videos you like, but you don't label them, and it feels like a quantity compulsion rather than a quality post.

remember you're not supposed to rub their noses in the mess they make. they're not smart enough to connect the action of "pooping everywhere" with the punishment of "getting their noses rubbed in it". if anything, it just makes them scared to poop.

When you say in '22 you're gonna ban the guy, and then personally probe him 19 more times including a month off...kind of exactly paints what you guys say doesn't happen in GBS re: pets, and you specifically.

Now I'll take my probe cause I don't post in here enough.

You won't be probed because you don't 'post in here enough' unless you say "probe me" fyi.

Hey, they just said what I said only with better words. Lol I worked through a probe I didn't know I had.


Genuinely, why? The dudes that get a probe every single day for dumbass posting seem interchangeable. Just go read Arfjason or something.

If anything, free Martin Random. That vleykin has a bloodlust for old goon posters. The heck was he even permad for, his falconry twitter owns. He has such classic gbs stories, he's a real patriarch.

He mentioned off-handedly that his ex put a restraining order on him, and oh yeah he's been buying guns that he plans to use for 'something' and got all 'ehe, I think my ex will like this' combined with 'I WANNA SHOOT PEOPLE' kinda posting. Uhhh do not stan for him.

EDIT: To put it more simply: He got guns and implied he was going to retaliate against the restraining order on him with them.

i think the threadbans are a bad idea both because thread bans traditionally dont work outside the politics forums and because its just going to bringing negative attention down onto the thread and gbs causing even more trolling the probes coming days later even if it was because of an admin needing to approve them is also not a good look .

Threadbans for one dude who made two posts in the thread and one who made three seems... Uh.. Not good?

You wanna punish people trolling, go for it, but seriously? "Every post you make in this thread from now on will cost you $10" seems way overboard and more like trying to continue the forum wars bullshit that keeps dragging this place down.

I paid my ten dollars for moderated forums and by gum that's what I've received over the years, for better or worse. If someone is a consistent stick in the spokes of a specific thread, telling them to go find something else to do away from this one in particular isn't unreasonable, is it?

OK, so is two posts the Official GBS Threshold for Threadbans, or three?

none of the people probed had posted in this thread for days amd had probably already forgotten about it probing and threadbanning them now just brings attention back to it lol

Let's call it three. Unban the two post guy, so he can immediately come back to poo poo post, and then thread ban him.

Telling people to knock it off and tolling them if they don't ONLY ever makes them post more. Moderation has never worked, not once.

Guess we shouldn't moderate anything, ever.
