I'm pretty sure that's not the case - I think access to PMs is all or nothing.

expecting a feedback thread to operate in good faith while generalising the general discussion forum as biased bullies is setting it up to fail. (which it immediately did looking at the probes)

do you have literally any examples of what you're talking about? what are these failed SAD threads? you can easily link them.

this is a bad probation because its on topic feedback to seth wrt to discussing mod related stuff

This is the post my post was referring to.

"You did XYZ in another forum" is interforums drama.

Eta: wow lmao let's it up here fnln.

E2: anyway DW and I have PMd about this. I explained to them that it felt like they were bringing up a discussion we had said to stop, I apologized if I misread the context of their post, and I offered to ask an admin to rescind the 6r if requested.

Their response was that they didn't mind the probe, admitted it was a little between the pages, and to ask me to edit to let people know I misread the context and that we've spoken.

I genuinely hope that helps. If not, my PM's are open and so is my contact email for those without platinum.

Do not import interforum drama into this thread, goons

CaptainSarcastic posted:

The GBS Feedback Thread is really not the venue for discussing problems with SAD. I'm not sure what the proper venue for discussing problems with SAD would be, but this ain't it.

none of this is interforum drama.

the chain of events was the former gbs thread got closed, a thread in sad about the tarquinn thing got made, there was discussion about mod actions in gbs there but none of the gbs mods (afaik) were actually participating, seth opened this thread and i suggested mods from gbs go to sad and discuss what went on etc.. seth said no, he thinks sad isn't neutral place for discussion and referred to previous experiences, i asked for clarity, seth said he'd provide it (hopefully he won't forget), and dw69 was responding to that.

this all happened in this thread. again its not importing interforum drama lol

tl;dr, commut dw69's 6er like you guys did for that other person because this is more of a b.s. probe than that was

i didn't see the recent posts so that's why i missed this one but its still silly to have happened and shouldn't have in the first place.

The "interforums drama" post has nothing to do with the probe. They are two separate actions referring to two separate posts. Hth.

emSparkly: Nov 21, 2022; I'm open to interpretation!

Real feedback: If the r word is considered a no-no then autist should be as well. I only ever see people use it as a slur substitute and/or if they're from 4chan. Not that I'm noticing some epidemic here, but something has to get this back on track.

It is (barring context like someone speaking about their personal experience). I've dropped a fair number of probes for it in the past, but it seems like the usage has died down the last few months.

I like when the mods are like �hey what can we do to change or improve the place?� then they see the feedback and are like �lol no, don�t u get it being a mod is hard, u complain everywhere u go, anyway what�s ur feedbacks?� endlessly.

It seems super loving productive.

Now there's a stickied mspaint thread.

Spinz: Jan 7, 2020; I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

My feedback is that we don't need feedback threads right now

They just create drama, they haven't been helpful

We could take a time out from them for a while

Creative content would be nice for GBS and we all know this and maybe in time it will increase

Here's my feedback to the mods: Stop treating Nooner like your pet. Your probes even convey this. "BAD NOONER" and all that litters his probe sheet. Even the recent ones act like he hasn't been doing the same poo poo for like 8 years. Give him real probes instead of slap on the wrists every time he blatantly and purposefully breaks the rules and tries to poo poo things up.

i don't think the idiot flamingo person is doing real harm with their posts and I doubt a month off would persuade them to not post things that get a reaction.

we have just gone through the whole "don't do pointless ramps against mild trolling" debate and it's not a different situation here just because the mods think this guy's on the good gbs side rather than the bad Outsider side on whatever weird red-string forums corkboard they have

I wonder what threads nooner likes

I'm not really outraged, it's just a bit of an pattern where 'lol so funny' people just get turned into forum pets and then they start going wild because nobody cares what they do.

Nah he's only been banned a few times. So I guess that'd be nom epique.

Honestly it was less that they weren't ramping and more that they were just treating him like him intentionally breaking the rules was like their cute dog who they had to mildly scold. See: Toxic's "BAD NOONER!!!!" post.
