No there are lots of kinds of good threads. But yeah, bad threads should be gassed. "BUT WHY??" You ask... well, not just to keep Gibbs clutter-free, but also to let people know what kind of thread we're looking for.

Here's the kind of stuff I've been gassing:

Threads where the OP is just a couple of words or a single sentence. When there seems to be no intention to start an interesting discussion or to be anything beyond a one shot "joke". Usually these are easy to spot because they have something to do with farts, poo poo, buttholes, peepee, poopoo, cucking, dicks, etc.

Threads where the OP is just "haha look at this youtube video" or "haha look at this picture" usually everyone has already seen the video or picture in question when their grandma liked it on facebook so its kinda redundant to have it here.

Neato threads with nekkid babes for jerkin' and tuggin' with your pals at work.

Mean spirited, uncreative attacks on other GBS posters. Usually this consists of a screen cap of a forum post where the OP totally OWNED some other person.

Here is stuff I HAVE NOT been gassing:

Threads where people are legitimately wanting to discuss things like: gamer gate, doobies, fat people, politics, cop violence, twitter, whatever.

Anything that seems to be fostering legitimate, or humorous discussion, while abiding by the handful of rules we have round here.

It's more like when Luke Skywalker was training, went into that cave, fought Vader, and when the mask blew up it was Luke's face under the helmet.

I tried the reward system (I even rewarded you with some socks at one point). It doesn't seem to work as well as negative reinforcement, unless you're willing to put a ton of work into it (thinking up challenges/rewards/fun trinkets). Maybe that's where you will succeed. I know you have the potential to be great, I just hope you also have the stamina to keep it up after months of these people's crap.

Ok so what do you guys think should be done about posters wishing "death threats" on each other? It's something thats been getting reported lately. Things like people saying "Oh ok well then I think you should kill yourself" etc? Normally I think, whatever.... but its been bothering some people so I dunno...what do you other mods think?

lazy joke, nearly a catchphrase, not funny, encourages suicide, A+ all around imo

man I don't even know what the gently caress you're talking about

shortly after I started as a mod you had that big dox thing and you desperately asked me on steam to help you out, which I did

then after you stepped down you started putting in reports with "gently caress you gnarly" as the reason

you're a weird dude

ahahahaha you talked to me on steam and insisted I talked to you on mumble, so I did and answered some questions about modding but you obviously were too drunk to remember the one thing I told you: the posters suck and you could do a huge thing by dissuading the bad, hateful people from posting. But instead you did the opposite and coddled them, causing what you see now: where joy is gone and a misanthropic group of dorks run the show.

So I would report things to help, and you ignored them, so I just reported things to spite you and hoped that someone would do something, so ralp had to step in and take care of it for you. Then you started having slapfights with ralp because he would mod GBS for you and you got butthurt about that.
