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!

No no no you see they don't like the thread and they want it to follow the same rules as other similar threads in other forums.

What are you, being deliberately obtuse?

*Shakes head*

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
Everyone is being calm and respectfully making reasonable arguments on both sides of the debate. You'll be ok. The thread will be ok.

I'd say not quoting nobodies is pretty fair. I do think it's occasionally funny, but it's hard to have a rule like "no posting nobodies, unless it's really funny". I also suspect that the thread would probably allow the occasional one to slip through the rule if it was funny, and not a constant thing.

Is there an option for opting for a permaban but you can get other accounts permabanned as collateral? Maybe like, take the active account years, divide by numbers of rap sheet entries, and that's how many collateral accounts you can do.

I don't know if it'd have a good result, but it'd certainly be interesting! I'd be curious what posters people would be willing to sacrifice themselves to perma :kimchi:

Wow, a feedback thread shutting down any and all ideas, what a shock :rolleyes:

So far I've had the following ideas shut down for no good reason:
- shuffling mods at random so we can experience every part of the modding system
- train an AI to tell us whether posts are good or bad
- let people blow up their accounts just to get at their posting enemies

And y'all are saying these are bad ideas? Sounds like y'all just like the status quo of GBS and would prefer everything just stay the same, geez.

I know I would.

What if we made a kind of waffleimages but for everyone to store and share their spreadsheets of those who have wronged them. We could cross reference all those fun datas like who reports the most, and who has made the most enemies and stuff.

Maybe even include community notes like the social media previously known as twitter? Could be interesting way to provide a sort of weird and hosed up wiki!

Onto feedback: It looks like permabanned transphobe DriftingMouse is back in the RLM thread. I think there should be some more action taken to prevent serial re-reg-ing from permabanned users.

this is why i banned posting tweets from twitter nobodies in the cspam musk thread it made the thread much more readable when it stopped being full of goons working themselves into a frenzy over some nobody no one cared about

The endgame of a lot of mock and politics threads is posting absolute nobodies on twitter even by twitter nobody standards. The tankies thread in particular died an lol death when they had like two actual tankies left and then all the major posters turned out to be complete freaks

16-bit Butt-Head posted:

this thread was moved to cspam and it got so bad it had to be gassed. mock threads like that wear their welcome out fast and once they run out of things to laugh about they start scraping the bottom of the barrel for content and end up eating themselves

Also yeah this. Either it escalates into full on touching the poop harassment or eating each other, sometimes both.

Was this specifically a thread mocking SA posters or people on twitter?

I vaguely remember the thread popping up and then getting nuked pretty fast.

The PYF one that stuck around rather long for an explicitly political thread there and wasn't so specific in its cause, so basically constantly relitigating podcast grudges and raising the spectre of the mythical red-brown alliance of rude new york women and bros.

I do think there's some grim humor to the fact that it was gassed only a couple months before Russia invaded Ukraine. The thread almost made it across the desert to an oasis but alas. But of course I'm also glad the PYF mods didn't have to deal with that particular clusterfuck.
