Cthulu Carl posted:Part of Charles's logic was Do you see how posters making hay about nothing can make some people desensitized to what might be real issues, because it might be coming from the same sort of crowd? Yes, some people ITT are bad faith agitators, like anywhere. e: if the admins/mods are also treating this as serious, it doesn't matter if more people think like me than you.

"Bad faith" has become the most frustrating phrase to me. So many people in this thread, and elsewhere, just throw it out like some magic totem to dismiss any and all concerns people they disagree with have. Somebody used it like four times in a single post last night and I almost blacked out.

Why would I make call outs anywhere Fluffdaddy is watching? Fluffdaddy posted:You are starting to agitate me. Stop making accusations against other posters It was not my intention to get under your thick skin, I just felt removing someone from a position over a blanking was a bit extreme. I accept that my view isn't the prevailing one here and bow out.

Charles Bukowski posted:Why would I make call outs anywhere Fluffdaddy is watching? I suggest simply saying that you think removing someone from a position over blanking is extreme, and not getting in a parting shot jab at fluffdaddy and insinuating that you totally have A List but just don't want to post it, that all seems like a bad idea to me.

Charles Bukowski posted:Do you see how posters making hay about nothing can make some people desensitized to what might be real issues, because it might be coming from the same sort of crowd? there's no same sort of crowd that doesn't like people's posts being edited, it's mainly people who look at gbs but dont post in it that often ik/mod editing been an issue occasionally in every major subforum on this site over the years so if it becomes a thing anywhere for very long, it'll draw opinions from all over people should really stop assuming there's clandestine networks of posters trying to dictate what's done on this website through huge amounts of coordinated lying and manufacturing narratives veiled as random people giving honest opinions on things it's never happened once. there've been individuals or really tiny groups behaving maliciously/deceptively (koalamarch, spr), but the illusion of some shadowy mob of wreckers with no overt connection to each other who are pretending to be honest is the same faulty-reasoning induced paranoia as the jan 6th antifa false-flag stuff IRL if you find->replace crisis actor with concern troll lol

Charles Bukowski posted:My anecdote is that I haven't heard anyone complaining about loving around with posts until relatively recently, and from people I tend to lump together as "agitators." If I'm in the minority than I apologize for my sweeping remarks, but it smacks of much ado about nothing to me. Just post and have fun There was a post editing scandal this year where an SA admin was found to have stealthily edited a post to cover up their friend doxxing another user. Ever since then the staff takes the matter of editing another person's posts very seriously as a forumswide issue, not just GBS, and your ignorance on the matter does not do your position credit.

Charles Bukowski posted:I don't have any lists you weirdos You're the one that put yourself in the limelight over this. Reap what you sow moron. Agree with the general consensus here to only edit posts if absolutely needed, in order to prevent more koalas marches and some plague rats etc. type goons attempting to do some social engineering fuckery with the SA community by editing their most hated's posts.

Maybe, in case of the rare spamming type thing mentioned earlier, discuss it with an admin first and copy/paste the original post into your friendly neighborhood Notepad.exe so you can put it back or, at least, have a record to show admins what you removed and why

there was just now an example of a post being edited in the leper's colony which surely nobody has a problem with:Plinkey posted:gently caress it, see, it's not that post editing is even entirely not allowed. it's just not allowed to be done the way it was in this specific case with commieGIR and there is a right way to do it. So what is the issue here? blanking a post because you don't like it is vastly different from the example posted here and anyone can see that. this mod won't get removed over it because they saved people from seeing plinkey's disgusting appendages without consent. commiegir is being removed for it because what they did was inappropriate and they knew better. see the difference?

Yes one can think that the details of the Franz and cinci affair are not a big deal, and they're a ridiculously petty matter in a vacuum, but this is also a forum where a dedicated clique attempted an actual coup on the leadership of the site through coordinated social engineering efforts, with their slander of an entire subset of posters effective enough that they managed to trick a Vice reporter into writing up an article about them. No poo poo this gets taken seriously now. CommieGIR was alright as a poster but blanking that post made it seem worse than it actually was, and when I saw the contents of it I was actually annoyed that anybody thought this was appropriate to remove.

Toxic Mental posted:Wait really? When was this and who was it? koalas march and the core of what would become the short lived bread and roses team If you recall the few months when Lowtax was convinced to close FYAD, that was a part of the entire affair. Among PYF/SAD regulars it's usually half-jokingly, half-sighingly referred to as the Troubles. The timeline of events is a bit rough for me because it was several years ago, but the entire thing fell apart when two things happened: Someone actually looked at the ironically titled "genuine racism megathread" and realized the allegations about FYAD were all a hoax, and unbanned the forum. Koala's March was outed as sockpuppeting herself using an account called honeytrapqueen and had been acting as her own hypewoman, even gassing herself up with an SAclopedia entry written by her alt, and the entire reveal was so hilarious her entire operation was immediately discredited. e:f;b lol

this is the qcs thread that kicked it all off - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3905983 there was also lots of 'fyad are nazis for real' stuff posted like this thread - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3910389 which was because fyad had a thread making jokes about/featuring hitler - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3909294 jeff's follow up a few months later - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3937061 there was lots of other stuff in the period between those two (and after). the km's coup attempt was talked about in the last linked thread.

Yeah we can take it to Sagas to laugh at. ----8<---- My real feedback is that we should host the (prospective) Gutter Phoenix fundraiser here in GBS, or maybe even a site-wide stickied announcement and it would be cool to have a gang tag for donators.
