I posted genuinely in that thread. I posted no less than two separate images of two separate Domikey keycaps sets which I had copped. I would go so far as to say, I was one of the largest contributor to the thread recently. My crime, evidently is using the word copped instead of bought. I also posted the knowledge management thread. The mod banned me for a month while simultaneously saying it was a great thread. in that entire month there’s not a single post in the thread. Lol. But this is the GBS feedback thread.

Ok. Content is king, as it has been well said. GBS is the normal homeowner dad forum and that makes haters mad because they wish it was 2010 and people were posting pics of their steampunk parties and calling each other good sir. Well, I want that too but , you can’t go back if there’s nothing to go back to. You can either completely nuke what is left of GBS as some are wishing, or not. That’s basically what this thread comes down to. I suppose someone will make a decision.

gently caress off.

We should all the mods of various forums swap what forum they're moderating at random for a week! That will shake things up. Could be interesting, I think it would be really good at getting people to post :D

Nom epique or whatever has barely even came across my radar to be honest.

I do think the threshold for perma should be higher than annoying gimmick poster though.

It’s interesting because afaict people are mad at him for mild repetitive trolling but for the most part this sort of topic has come up time and again and the general consensus is that overreaction to this sort of thing is more of a problem than the trolling itself.

Stuff like Arf doing the “not gonna watch this” in the gdq threads, AiT’s cooking comic spam, repeated thread necros, whatever, there’s kind of countless examples of mild trolling that if anything we make more fun of the people who get tilted by it, it seems weird to single out this one guy for the same sort of gimmick.

I don’t really get the forum pet discourse tbh as there’s usually a sad or qcs kerfuffle anytime someone gets hit with a more significant lifetime achievement sort of shot that no one post really warranted individually. It’s clearly a tough rope to walk.

Literally the whole point of SA's moderating ethos is 'we can probe and ban you for any reason we feel like, there's no adhering to the technical letter of the law here' specifically because so many forums have obnoxious and intolerable users who barely don't actually break any major rules and have the limp-dick mods going 'Well, our hands are tied, nothing we can do because of the rules we ourselves made up'

It's also entirely valid to go 'the joke's worn out its welcome ten times over, find a new shtick or we'll ban you' and yes turn on your monitor etc

Use the ignore button imo and stop being a baby about someone posting bad once in a while, it is not like anyone is innocent of that.

I wouldn't mind knowing why my "silly post" caught a sixer, but "this thread sucks" is fine?

The answer, though, is that mods and admins moderate to their own tastes as well as the rules, and that's always been the case and that may always be the case. Such is life, as long as they're still doing the function of their job. Not everyone is going to treat you the same, or ways you'd necessarily prefer over others. We learn to deal with it.


I'm seeing parallels between my annoyance with Greg youtube posting, and VVG's vendetta against Nom. I like Nom though and will defend his mildposting. I'm sure lots of people don't care about random youtube links (except in their charity threads, that was low Greg) and its very much a "me problem." I'll take some thread advice and just learn to deal or put them on ignore. I think we could all stand to do a little of that.

Whenever mods do this it results in agro. For instance kirbykhan got a week long probe for constantly trolling the ukraine thread, and a bunch of people went to SAD to complain how unfair it was he punished so harshly for extremely mild trolling.

Now while i dont think nom would get the same response, it would raise a lot of questions about other posters who mildly troll not getting the same treatment.
