What is going to be done about the refugee problem here in GiP?

They stream in from D&D by the ones and twos, influence our elections (ZERIS?) and whittle away at our culture by ganging up and silencing us on our far right.

Maybe we could have a small committee of GIP posters who would be charged with enforcing "GiP Purity Posting Guidelines"?


idk just throwing stuff against the wall. Sometimes that needs to be done.

Looks like a fun project for the April idiot king?

I was thinking about rocketry in east Asia today, since it's trending and all, then I remembered this gem from forums savior, GIP'er on the wall, Shim:

Who ordered the code red, Shim?*

A full investigation traced a long line of toxic managerial practices and malfeasance through the hierarchy, resulting in small mistakes snowballing into bigger mistakes, beginning at the point where a person or group of people decided to actually enlist in the marines. If that one crucial mistake had been avoided, we wouldn't be here now. Report further states: N.B. gently caress you if you're still in.

I don't know what do you guys want to do for April?

Also xaarman we don't take kindly to anime avs here so find a new one for yourself or I'll do it for you :)

Three months in, some observations on modding:

-It's fun, until suddenly it isn't

-People bitch about 6-hour probies more than anything else

-Uploading images (for avatars), changing posters' names, and rotating IKs requires admin approval, and happens on their schedule. They're usually busy keeping the forums from literally falling apart.

-If I hypothetically handed off modding to someone else, there's no guarantee who the admins would approve of to replace me. I actually have no idea what the vetting process is.

Anyway, if there's something you guys want to happen, like a title change or whatever, just ask. I'm sorry for example about the green weenie platinum icons, but there's only so much I can do in certain situations.

I don't mind eating a 6 hour, I am irritated that it's because of an avatar I've had for years posting in GiP with no problem- one I didn't even buy or choose. Particularly since there is no forum rule in the rules thread regulating avatars.

It's all good and we've all been there thanks for being a good sport about being a bitch and letting us laugh at you.

This also <3 your new title, let me know if you want something slightly more dignified.

We've all been there, man.

Changing the platinum icon requires me to convince an admin that they should stop fixing forums code in order to work on modifying an individual poster's CSS or something like that. I'm open to suggestions but have so far failed to make the case.
