edit: anyway my real take is that there's like 10 people in this forum who will ever show up to a local political meeting, much less actually engage in violence, so rather than looking at probes from a 'this is DANGEROUS' perspective people should just be probed for being exceedingly, excruciatingly lame. fortunately most of the calls for violence also fall into that category
This.

i think you can post about irl organizing without your home address but most of this forum is about podcasts and tweets

and for real i dont think saying '99.9% of the people calling for political violence on something awful dot com are unlikely to act on it' is that controversial a take

i mean its not the only thread about doing anything irl that has had zero traction at any point. one of those threads is even pinned and its just loving paul_soccer bumping it a ton

report that poo poo relentlessly, even if you think a mod has already seen it. it really isnt great

It's not great, but I feel like it's pointless for me to care about it. I've got nowhere to bring these issues up outside of TMR, which is kind of dead due to a bunch of posters leaving, since if I talk about it here, people are aggressive in pointing out they don't care about this poo poo at all, especially since everything is concentrated in these megathreads. If I want to talk about the Supreme Court's current case on which it judges whether or not trans people get federal protection under the Civil Rights Act, where do I post it? Do I talk about it in the thread for posting dumbass mispellings of Trump, or do I go into the thread for yelling at Democrats? Either way, I feel like people would get pissed off that I've interrupted valuable time spent posting TURMP or raging out over Frederick Smuckers (D-Rhode Island) failing to beat his opponent, the literal demon Belial. I made a LGBT thread and it didn't get many posts and I killed it by being an unstable dickhead, I don't want to bother as I've already embarrassed myself enough with it and no one else gave a poo poo enough to resurrect it.

Yeah, CSPAM has a lot of threads crewed by different posters, but any of the ones I'm familiar with would not tolerate that kind of thing even a little. Definitely report it, we've got good mods now who will nip it in the bud.

I wouldn't expect anyone to aggressively say they don't care when you post something like that. But either way you could make another LGBT thread since I know there are plenty of LGBT C-SPAM posters
