Still can't loving believe that poo poo is somehow COVID thread business. We're not the anti-dog thread. We don't rant and rave at each other about dogs and how dangerous they are. We didn't egg each other on until one of us went off and killed a dog like that idiot that pipebombed a cow or whatever the gently caress in the climate thread because they supposedly doomposted themselves into doing it. There was no connection to the thread except that the person happened to post it in this thread. It's such a bad faith move to even bring it up.

Just my take but I think it would be fine if mods here decided to take a slightly less light touch on posts that exaggerate or straight up lie about goon lore to make the thread look bad or cast general aspersions at the thread without quoting particular posts.

On the other hand I agree with vyelkin I assume that generalized trolling should be punishable but at a sort of flat rate that lets you keep the thread clean without stupid gbs crap like ramps for dumb jokes.

And finally while I understand and respect that immunocompromised and people from all walks of life post in this thread, I think it kinda sucks to frame things that thread regulars dislike or probes for bad posts as particularly setting out to target the immunocompromised. That's not what anyone is setting out to do here, even the meanest trolls, I don't think.

I do have personal frustration that when I was giving 6ers to dongicus, accepting vyelkin's point about not overdoing it and not doing any chaining resulted in an extremely stupid breakdowns, constant complaining about me and a pathetic SAD thread calling me out by name as some villain when I'd already given up. Even in my "meltdown" I probed 1 person who ended up being a permabanned rereg, 1 really lovely post from a "thread regular" and a handful of people I thought were being particularly assholes in the handful of posts I looked at while writing up an explanation for why I was taking a break.

Were there every any probes or even telling people to knock poo poo off when they were speculating that WAIST made up the uncle? This is a genuine question because I had completely checked out of the forums for the month that I was gone.

yeah idk about all that, did vyelkin really tell you not to chain dongicus? chaining people who slightly annoy you or for no reason at all is the right of every ik

Vyelkin didn't tell me to not chain him, I wrote that ambiguously--I just didn't want to, but with how mad people got for me dropping 6ers for reasons like "get another bit" or "stop calling everyone r-slurs," do you think it would have gone over without blowing up in basically the exact way it did anyway? I just wanted to actually mod the thread and try to push back on some of the posting that I thought was lovely, not have to babysit a jackass and keep feeding them attention. Me and Trixie were drawing so much goddamn heat for any level of moderation at all.

Like if ST gets 30 days for her report, why could someone make that pathetic rear end SAD thread about me and go on their merry way?

saying someone is advocating for genocide because they suggested people be banned off of SA after a history of a thread having insane posts is not the same thing.

if you want to call out specific posts by specific people, by all means. and a report on any post anywhere in all of SA goes into the same single mod queue, if you want to report a post too

We had a neighbour send their 4 year old around the block giving a toilet roll per house if they needed it. It was nice but also wtf to look down and have a small boy go 'want a roll' waving a 3 ply.

A report, even a bad report, which is fundamentally private, has a very different surface area than opening a SAD thread for everyone in the forums to gawk at and get rowdy about.

Nobody on the forums other than the mods would have ever seen the report if vyelkin hadn't decided to screenshot it to go "look at this rear end in a top hat."

it actually caught me off guard, the toilet paper shortage hit japan a little over a month before the US and i was about one week away from buying a new box of rolls when they disappeared from store shelves.

i suffered through paper towels for a week, but then i had this great idea and stole some rolls from the daimaru department store's ultra luxurious marble restrooms lol

4 years old is a bit young to send out to do that lol

there was a pizza place in my college town that did that and i think it wound up with the kid being held in place at the door while their parent who was in the car was held up at gunpoint.

Hah! But hey, if the point is "exaggerating posts for lols and drama is bad", maybe don't engage in it as well.

That guy was perma'd because you just can't even joke about something like that. Not because there is actual evidence that any cows were harmed in the making of those posts, unless I'm missing something.

But it becomes "the climate thread had a pipebomber", because that makes the story interesting and funny. All the detail you need to be accurate is boring, so goons just loving skip that poo poo. Sure, it sucks if you're on the receiving end of it.


edit, for context I should prolly link the original post. Not trying to call you out in particular, just pointing out the general poo poo we all kinda fall into.

You for real? You think me saying

quote:

like that idiot that pipebombed a cow or whatever the gently caress in the climate thread because they supposedly doomposted themselves into doing it.

and

quote:

Actually not sure if he literally pipebombed a cow, that could be goon telephone

Is me asserting anything? Do I sound confident of the facts? Does it look like I'm going after the climate change thread?

"or whatever the gently caress" "supposedly" "actually not sure" "could be goon telephone"

I was clearly using an example I had only heard about. When it was used in SAD to justify why this thread is such a problem btw. I, however, clearly had no agenda against the climate thread when I posted it.

And I tracked down and posted the actual receipts so other people could confirm what actually happened instead of just taking my shaky word for it.

this isn't the first time a report has been posted and shared. its never been an issue to mock bad and dumb reports, which that one is.

because, again, saying someone should be banned off of SA isn't advocating for genocide. it just isn't, and saying that sort of stuff is hosed up.
