LadyAmbien had posted a thread asking for some input on some new features and they seemed to be generally well received. A few highlights were:

Probated posters could post in a probate only forum. Everyone can see it, but only probes can post there and no one really wants to go there. Kind of like Ravenholm, in a way.

You could automatically PM a mod regardless of Plat status to ask rules questions and/or probation reasons and the like.

You could see who bought the latest avatars and such for other people.

You could buy account guard or "insurance" for your avatar, account, or plat status that would protect you from some of the auto bans and stuff.

A way to see a threads rating while in the thread BEFORE voting yourself.

A running total of total post votes i.e. "Jastigers average thread rating is 5.0!" or something like that.


Whatever happened to those ideas? Also, I didn't post this in QCS because I want to know who changed my avatar. The long text is obnoxious for everyone and I saved for 6 months for the money to change my av and it barely lasted a week!

Any input from pro SA detectives and any input on those new rules suggestions from other goons?

All the cool kids are going to be posting in the probe forum and everyone is going to try to get probated to join in on the fun.

What was wrong with seeing who bought your av? Or purchasing additional protection so it can't be changed so quickly? It doesnt prohibit it, and it is actually another chargeable thing. What are the draw backs?

You don't enter your own username to buy someone else's avatar and exposing email addresses or billing info is a lovely thing to do.


Ah didn't know that, that makes sense. Maybe require that or is that crossing bounds? Sounds like you don't even need to have an account to buy?

Nobody's going to spray a "suck my dick, fuckman" graffiti on a house protected by CCTV.

I think you highly underestimate the rage some people have. Ive had probably 10 different avatars in my time here and ive only ever paid for 2 of them. Thats at least $80 spent just on trolling me and im small fish in that department. I highly doubt that would curtail avatar purchases.

In eight years, you've only dropped $10 on your own avatars, and now it's "getting old"?

Ive "won" a few other avatars and all of the changes to the ones I spent money on came within a week or so. That is what gets old.

Its frustrating to purchase something and have it negated throuh no fault or doing of my own. Id have a bigger problem with it if mods were doing it to generate additional revenue and stuff like that.

stop being a bad poster
that is your fault

I remember now. I forget the guys name, and he got mega mad about the South being bad and vowed to change avatars forever for me and like 3 other posters. That was like a year ago lol.

Lots of Confederates of these forums hiding their colors.

didn't someone bestow upon you the lyrics to i'm a good ol' rebel as a custom title? now every time you make one of your dumbass posts i get the song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

you are the worst poster on gbs, please consider reddit or some other place where you can post earnestly and get upvotes for your feigned rage at the existence of most of the united states, perceived sleights, white privilege, et cetera.

here's a forums feature suggestion: can we contribute to have jastiger permabanned?

Lol nice melt down.

The fact that you're that mad about my posts (which are actually just once a year and are pretty well sourced) says a lot more about you than it does me.

There you go jastiger. You have a name. What are you gonna do about it?

Also I knew nothing about you before this thread, and now I know too much. You have further tarnished your internet reputation, and I will buy you a racist avatar at some point.

Why do you align with the forces of evil?
