I read all the photoshop poo poo that made it to the front page all through undergrad in 2001-5. Towards the end of that I was borrowing a buddy's login (*gasp*) to read GBS. He got tired of me freeloading and bought me an account. About the same time I got into target shooting and antique rifles and what's this? A gun subforum? On my comedy website? Ten years and way too many wall of text effortposts later Lincolns Wax threw me the keys on his way out the door. One mod note: TFR is basically the chilliest place ever. It's been weeks since I had a report. There are a handful of usual suspects who get probated now and again but it is mellow As gently caress.

Foxhound posted:What are X-bans? Is there a difference between an X-ban and normal ban? 1) I've never heard of an X-Ban. Do you mean permabans? 2) It's pretty much whatever the people running the forum think works best. Not just for megathreads, for everything. If it's a multi-mod forum I imagine they communicate and figure poo poo out together, but if it's a one man operation like I run in TFR there is a lot of discretion to do whatever is best for the forum. 3) Yeah, megathreads suck. They're a necessary evil and are useful for a couple of things but they prevent people from discovering new content, which in turn leads to people not making new content. I'm a couple months deep into running gimmick posting pushes to try to counteract this in TFR. Personally I try to kill off megathreads once the OP becomes so dated it's useless and the OP is either unwilling or unable to update it. Really they're only good for things that are such frequent topics of conversation that you don't want them spilling out into every other thread.

Yeah, I'd imagine that's more of an issue for certain hyper-popular threads that clip by at hundreds of pages a day. I've never had to deal with one of those, so I have no insight into when that becomes a problem.

Foxhound posted:I might actually just be an idiot, and the new "banned" image has a big X behind the word banned and I assumed it was called X-ban and didn't give it much thought? Yeah, that's just a regular 'ol ban.

To clarify one thing, people tend to ask around if something is just bizarre and they're unsure of what to do. There's a whole super-secret mod subforum
