 do you mods think theres a bit of a glut of threadshitting going on? not wrt this thread, just in general in here. it seems like the first page of a lot of threads has a cloud of negativity over it it kind of makes GBS a posting-mordor sometimes

I've noticed that. Generally most threads, even bad ones, get going once they hit page 2. I've done a few probes here and there and will continue to do so for it. If you guys feel compelled to threadshit, at least try to be entertaining or relate it to the thread. I've let a couple pass because I laughed or because they tried to tie it in with the thread. That's just me and other mods/admins may still ding you for that poo poo so it's better just not to do it.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:It's easier if you report it, though I see you don't have plat. It's really hard to draw a line when it's only me looking at a post. My instinct is usually to let things go if I'm the only one who bristles at it. I never really wanted to be a schoolmarm probating regular posters for little things, and someone reporting is the (non-ideal) barometer I've used for stuff like that. I'll make an effort to be more proactive here as I think you are right. thats the thing tbh. i wouldnt even necessarily report it or want to report it. i dont really like the idea of stifling stuff because sometimes funny things happen naturally that way anyway. but it it just seems rather pervasive. idk, ill try to pay more attention myself and see if im just imagining it or being butthurt over nothing

I have no patience for people making things worse on purpose, eg, posting threads that aren't just unfunny, but actively offputting and inspiring others to post in offputting ways.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:I'm not actually going to debate with you about fyad being good here. However, I will say, GBS being good is of interest to everyone on the forums. As the "public face" of the forums, new people are gonna come, click on GBS, and sign up or not based on what they see here. Sometimes, that's good, because they can't handle the kitchen or whatever, but sometimes a potentially contributing member doesn't sign up because they don't like what they see. I'm willing to guess that most posters on every forum here came to SA, saw something amusing in GBS, and then signed up. This is my opinion alone and I've consulted no one else on staff, but it's how I feel. I would like new people coming to the forums for the first time to see funny stuff and sign up because they are funny and appreciate others being funny on purpose. i agree with this, insofar that it doesn't matter how bad/good FYAD is that's no reason that GBS has to be lovely as well. i am just going to however note that it's kind of dumb as hell for a very small minority to have special rules that allow them to harass other subforums, but the answer to that is "you just don't get it" so okay I guess. also i like nu GBS, so far it has struck a decent balance between shooting the poo poo and more serious/long style posting which was immediately shat on in spooky GBS regardless of content. that Troy thread is cool.

FactsAreUseless posted:My extensive Chinese holdings mean I will benefit from it. The point of the TPP is to establish free trade agreements with other Pacific Rim nations so that we can move factories out of China, where we already have a free trade agreement, and into more exploitable populations. Essentially, the Chinese workers have managed to elevate themselves through back-breaking work and have come to expect decent wages and a lifestyle above perpetually toiling in abject poverty. This is sub-optimal, so we are abandoning that growing middle class for 3rd world slaves in countries we can better control and extort when they act up. IOW, the TPP is bad for China, as I understand it.

Every post made in FYAD lowers your postcount by 1. If you post in FYAD with a positive postcount, you're likely to receive negative attention! Let's expand this rule and apply it to the proper nemesis of nu-GBS: QCS.
Soon enough, FYAD will have some new members to accept! Thanks mods for reading my suggestions and approving this thread.

Basically, though there's also a pretty substantial security/balance of power subtext to the TPP that isn't strictly about maximal economic exploitation.
