What about old stuff that used to happen like SHARK WEEK? During SHARK WEEK, admin account SHARK WEEK will probate posters and post shark images or gifs as the reason, because its SHARK WEEK.

The link at the bottom of the rules post by Seth points to a closed thread. Might want to edit.

Seth Pecksniff posted:

Hello posting pals!

We took your feedback and came up with an updated and newer set of rules based on what you thought was working/wasn't working/didn't care about. If you have thoughts on these, please add them to the dedicated feedback thread and we'll take them into consideration. These rules may be modified/changed without warning, so check back frequently!

  • Before you post, please ask yourself the following question: "Am I making a post that is funny, informative, or interesting on any level?" While GBS does embody the :justpost: mentality, you should put at least a modicum of thought into the words that are flowing from your brain to your keyboard before smashing that post button.

  • Zero content threads should be made at your own risk. Consider what the thread is before going :firstpost:. We also don't allow LurkerX type posts ("Hello, I'm new here on the interwebs!") If you're new, lurk a bit! See how the threads vibe because each has its own little subculture. You'll find where you fit if you read the threads and think of something fun to say :)

  • Spamming or advertising isn't allowed at all. If you have a business or another enterprise to promote, buy an ad.

  • Don't mess with the forums in any capacity. If you post a malicious link (any URL with spyware or code designed to annoy people) or something that breaks people's forums experience you will be banned. Do not make plans to annoy or destroy other forums, either on SA or outside. Do not attempt to start a witch hunt against another poster. Doxxing will result in an immediate permaban.

  • This is not reddit. We cannot stress this enough. SA's culture paved the way for lesser (and frankly more inferior) copycats. Don't act like this is reddit because it is not.

  • Don't make pedophilia jokes. Do not accuse other posters of being pedophiles. If you suspect that a poster is one, contact a mod/admin immediately.

  • Talking about violence against people you don't like: Do not, under any circumstances, talk about how violence has to be used against people either on the forums or in real life and there is no other choice. Do not threaten politicians or political figures or celebrities or anyone, really, and don't hint at it. Also don't try to be cute and say "... IN MINECRAFT ;) ;) ;) ;)" or a variation. You're not clever.

Respect the Mods and Community:

Staff: Mods and IKs (Idiot Kings) are there to keep the community safe and fun to post in. We work on a volunteer basis because we get paid in compliments and stock options love this community and want it to continue to be the best place to post on the entire internet. Please be respectful of us and we'll always do the same for you.

Thread specific IKs:
BAGS FLY AT NOON (Rad Suburban Dad Megathread)
Geemer (Five word thread)
haljordan (Trumplol thread)
Ratjaculation (UK thread)
Saint Isaias Boner (GBS Pride Thread)
Smugworth (GBS Feedback thread)
Toxic Mental (Ukraine War Thread)

If there are threads where you believe an IK would be helpful, PM a mod! We can't always look at every thread, and as said before, each thread has its own culture that we're not always attuned to. Unless you want us kramering in when something goes wrong, that is.

Other Goons: Not everyone is going to like everyone else who posts here. Forum enemies and enmity are dumb, but they're part of the pact of posting anonymously on the internet. That being said, don't be a total dweeb to other goons. A good burn here and there is great, but don't follow them into other threads and harass them. Also, death threats or encouraging suicide are not acceptable under any circumstances and you will be punished for that.

Offsite drama is neither the responsibility of the moderators, nor something they have influence over. If there is an issue in a goon Discord, talk to the server admin first. Mods have no power over Awful Yearbook. Do not bring offsite drama into GBS unless you want to get teased owned before a mod deals with you. Do not export SA drama offsite, either. In general, don't be a drama elemental, and don't succumb to Main Character Syndrome.

Bigotry and prejudice are not welcome here. Again, this is not reddit. Don't use hate speech. Racism, transphobia, homophobia, misogyny, ableism, dead naming - anything along these lines will generate consequences, from probes to bans.

Do not post charity or donation threads for yourself. If there's an established, legitimate charity you think is worthy of goon money, PM a mod first before posting it.

All general SA rules apply here. In general, don't be a total rear end in a top hat and you'll be just fine.

Images and Files:

If an image is not work-safe, add an :nws: and a link. This includes literally anything you personally would not want your boss, grandma, or other person you respect to see you looking at. Yes, the Goatman is still banned, even though he's an old friend and we accept him like one.

If an image is potentially disturbing, triggering, or might make someone puke, do the same as above with the :nms: tag, and think about whether you really want to post it at all.

Do not ask for warez, illegal programs, cracks, torrents, illegal streaming sites, etc. Don't post links, ask for links to download, or otherwise discuss illegal copies of copyrighted works, including movies, books, software, etc. Information may want to be free, but you won't be if you do this.

Do not post your nudes. Please.

Finally, the Ukraine thread has its own special set of rules, which you should read before posting there.

We mods do take feedback. If you'd like to discuss anything about these rules, feel free to PM us or ask in the dedicated feedback thread. We're happy to help you. Welcome to GBS and enjoy your stay!

I think a thread in SAD or the tech forum would be a good idea so Astral can look at actually removing them.

Well look at this way, meta owns the trademark on "X" in relation to social media sites, and microsoft owns it for gaming and multimedia. So there is currently a lot of lawyers writing a lot of briefs to, legally speaking, hit musks face with a half brick in a sock.

Have you tried reporting the posts? I don't recall any particular bloodlust but maybe I missed it cause I usually just skim it.

i've only been reading the gbs musk thread for about a week but it seems fine, haven't seen any drama coming from it. if it desperately needs an IK maybe get one from there instead of 16bb who i don't think is a regular poster in said thread.

With military dictators there’s always a chance one if your bodyguards will pull a fast one and shoot you in the back. While we can’t be so lucky with Elon, I daydream someone from his entourage turns around one day and just socks him a big one right in his stupid face.

eh, not the kind of thing i'd post myself but hardly torture posts. although i did say his tesla should drive him into a tree once. i would just report them and see what happens tbh. not saying you're being a big baby about it at all, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing that needs an emergency IK imo.

mods or admins might disagree though who knows with these crazy forums

Seconded, it's not something I'd normally say but it's hardly torture or calling for violence.
Big difference between saying, "he's lucky nobody has socked him" and "I wish somebody would beat up elon".

where are you getting this urgency from? things can happen even if there isn't a desperate need, and imo thread IKship should be thrown about like confetti (and removed just as quickly if it's an issue).

don't think it's smart to put an IK in place who doesn't post in the thread though, or put one in place at all if the thread at large doesn't want one

dunno, i suppose it's not urgency i was trying to convey but more that it seems a bit out of nowhere when the thread seems fine. to me anyway, others might disagree and come here to say there should be an IK. which is the point of this thread pretty much, to discuss this stuff.

Eeeeeh, only the Mokotow post seems bad to me.

It's a busy and fast paced thread so I'm down for some IK suggestions. As funny as it would be having 16bbh in I'd rather just have someone who actually reads and posts in there.
