gently caress an apology, I want at least an explanation lol. That was so out of nowhere and baffling and it's honestly the part about the PPJ saga that has me laugh when I think about it.

:coupons:

a fun bad mod tactic when they've been explicitly forbidden from loving with a forum/thread is to get a pet ik or lesser mod to do it for them

the thin blue line mentality helps them call in favors really easily too

yeah it's not a grand conspiracy, the mod of coupons is just an admin and ppj prob dropped him a line to "control the rabble when nobody else is around" or some poo poo so he just shrugged and went "ok that sounds reasonable"

don't get me wrong, it's extremely loving funny that a guy who's admin because he's been the mod of 5 super-inactive subforums for a decade got drafted into harsh probing a bunch of people rightfully calling a fellow mod a nazi, but this is the one particular case I'd say is just incompetence from that tired quote.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I still love how the whole ppj saga basically ended up with cspam laughing too hard to be mad after he self-banned

When I said before that there's probably a healthy and an unhealthy way to have an ongoing conversation about the state of the forums and our place within the larger forums ecosystem, doing FYAD: THREAT OR MENACE again feels like it falls squarely in the "unhealthy" category.

I like Arf and wish he would actually hang with us instead of spamtroll, but even his trolling is usually kind of funny when it's not just on autopilot.

These posts loving suck, have nothing to do with the topic, and serve only to invite drama. Apparently the mods are fine with this but I just wanted to say "shut the gently caress up elephant ambush"

Guess it really is time to close the thread!

I get kinda annoyed with how people in here get purposefully obtuse or lovely when LGBT stuff comes up in conversations. I don’t like seeing dumb poo poo about how Pete Buttigieg is actually a fake gay or soneone obnoxiously telling me trans-related things are dumb and that they want to talk about something else.

im gonna say: last call for replies before we close it. its first thing in the morning on the west coast, so lets give them about six hours to wake up and think of anything they wanna say.

so, closing the thread about six hours from when i post this. new thread will come in no less than six weeks, no more than three months, depending on how things seem to be going. this is new, so we havent quite figured out what works best timing-wise

The Butt being a fake gay stuff is probatable, and I don't think that second thing has ever happened. CSPAM's got a lot of LGBT and specifically trans posters and is good about discussing those issues.

Yes, I was being sarcastic, everyone try to be nice to each other and offer any useful feedback for c-spam you may have, and try to avoid interforum flame wars in these final hours of the feedback thread. Please try to leave QCS and other parts of the forums out of it, as I mentioned before we can not change that.

Yeah, calib self-banned after Super Tuesday IIRC. I was sad to see them self-ban but there wasn't really anywhere else for their gimmick to go, probably best to just start with a new account and persona if anything (or just go back to seriousposting on their main)

have you ever been to a larp? can you understand the extreme emotions, the high stakes, and the stale pizza rolls? larpers are not to be trifled with. they are ready, at any moment, to accept an invite to a meticulously planned event and then text at the last minute they can't make it because they have to "buy more ranch dressing". these are people that spend hours avoiding the most tedious tasks just for the sole satisfaction of saying they were involved without doing anything. don't underestimate larpers. i did and i paid the price.

ill have you know ive posted 'kill all cops' in several somethingawful threads with at least 5000 views. this is what radical leftist action looks like, b*tch *sees a cop in real life and nods vaguely at him, which he returns*

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

new rules will be a thing but are also kind of a pain because you have to sit and write them and then workshop them to make sure you didn’t write anything dumb and yeah I wouldn’t expect this like, today.

maybe this weekend if you’re lucky and we don’t drink too much
