so question, how is this considered feedback but what dw69 posted isn't?

like kc your remark 'this isn't feedback' to dw69 should apply here right? or am i missing how useful this is as feedback compared to dw69's recent posts?

I missed a couple of posts responding to others, thanks for pointing that out!

quote:

i think dw69 is bringing it up here because even though there's another thread, seth openly said they refuse to discuss it in SAD*. so by way of refusing to actually discuss the issue elsewhere, there's no other place for dw69 to discuss it where the points by both of them being made can be openly read and seen by others so there's no 'actually you lied' sort of stuff occurring?

Dw could've posted a separate thread here in GBS to discuss the issue or sent me a pm to discuss it, off the top of my head. I asked repeatedly that it be kept out of this specific thread. There's a whole forum here to use

surc posted:

I can't speak for Douche Wolf ofc but to me the issue is that after the first post saying take it to PMs all of your posts saying take it elsewhere are also telling DW they're feeling wrong which if you take as patronizing instantly taints anything else in the post as patronizing and dismissive.

That's fair, I will try to be more mindful of my tone but I'm also not trying to get that modvoice style of posting. I'm a dumb idiot shitposting on a forum.

i guess i'm just not getting how you think they aren't using the feedback thread properly when giving feedback and asking for a response from the moderators on their behavior/decisions and how making a different thread in gbs would resolve the stuff they're getting at

I like to imagine this thread as a sort of aquarium, or terrarium, and it's kind of neat like looking at lizards or bugs that are normally outside :)

Also I genuinely want to make those effortposts now so we can share GBS goodness with all the other subforums, especially the smart ones. I think that'll be super fun.

it's not patronizing to tell someone they're wrong when they're actually wrong, and douche wolf is wrong again. nobody is "running interference" for seth, i've seen that accusation a couple times now and it's weird.

i get that this is an obsession for some of you, but yelling debate me bro at seth over and over is tedious and it's not going to bring him out any faster. it's starting to get creepy and a mod has asked you to stop multiple times.

(Note: this does not count as sanctioning a thunderdome thread, that's a joke)

I'm back from work now so I'll be around but let's get back on track: actual feedback on GBS.

Douche Wolf 89 posted:

what is and isn't feedback? it's difficult to discern from how this thread is run, im still waiting on a reply from seth (technically abt the last thread's genuine homophobia post lol), and that is feedback of a gbs thread according to me and others.

this reads as trying to get one last forumwars jab in wrt the thunderdome comment, considering peopled complained about seth's bully comment, then closing the thread to criticism. this is a theme

this reads as them responding to you by asking what counts as feedback and what doesnt because that has been a consistently hazy line, which i pointed out just recently with that one post.

the thunderdome bit, while a joke, sort of made it seem like you think that the criticism being raised is some fight that dw69 linked to seth's comments about not responding to any feedback about gbs in sad because they 'got the e-crap beaten' out of them. idk, that's how i think dw69 took it and it was just a bad line to use imo. that's my actual feedback.

the "actual feedback on gbs" line also doesn't help imo. mostly because this thread started off with, and still has, lots of 'not actual feedback on gbs' being posted by a variety of people that went unpunished/probated etc.

but if you disagree please feel free to correct me. probably in the sad thread about gbs mod actions since it seems this thread isn't for this line of discussion? :shrug:

Then wait? Continuing to beat the horse isn't going to get him to respond any faster. That thread is now closed, and this isn't the "GBS feedback thread feedback thread," so any further\ discussion about it should be done in PMs or an appropriate thread.

This is a very weird way to read "discuss this all you want in an appropriate venue." I'm sorry youre feeling persecuted by what was clearly labeled a joke, but it's not any forum wars anything to tell everyone that is clearly sniping at each other in the feedback thread to take it elsewhere.

Which addresses their concern the best I can offer since I can't force Seth to reply, tells them that I'm not trying to make them feel any type of way by my post, and asks twice more to take the conversation elsewhere.

I don't see that connection because I'm not looking at it through your lense. I saw people arguing, I told them to make a thread about it, and someone got mad.

That's true, there's a lot of not actual feedback. Especially recently, and that's going to change.

If you want a gbs feedback thread then close this and reboot it with a rule that the feedback is about GBS and not else where if you want to have a 24/7 open thread. That's what SAD is for or other forum feedback thread.

depends on the topic but usually useful feedback is typically, going off other feedback threads on SA, where you can bring up an issue/point and discuss it with the moderators or others going over how and why X or Y is good or bad. sometimes it takes a conversation and some back and forth for this to happen. un-useful feedback is trying disrupt any discussion from happening because you personally don't like seeing it or think its a non-issue rather than just letting the discussion play out.

here's some examples of useful feedback:

It's lovely to try and act like this thread should be for shitposting and try and shout down people doing otherwise as bad unwelcome outsiders, because the OP written by the GBS mod is a bulleted list saying basically the opposite of that.
It happens like every page or two at most and it really fucks stuff up because a lot of the time it's to pick a fight with whoever's providing feedback and then that person ends up probed or halfway to a meltdown by the time a mod responds to their feedback.



e: vvv Agreed, but there's a whole gnarly chain of crap leading to it and I can understand being impatient when you got called a slur and feel like you've been getting treated poo poo and given the runaround since a lot more than I can understand just being a counterproductive dick (the shitposter crap).

I really wish seth would just post in and sincerely engage with the SAD thread and deal with the fact that a lot of the feedback is "people are pissed about stuff you did" or even reply in here about it, because I think that's really the crux and I agree with the stance that there isn't really a good excuse to not be engaging with feedback around his decisions when a bunch of people think he hosed up.
