majorian why would you placeholder 1 day probe people for bumping old threads

I usually don't agree with probes for bumping but in this case that user chose to bump a thread just to make unsuspecting people look at weirdass furry porn and well that's not great

The guy who originally posted the furry porn got nothing and AIT also took a probe despite not bumping furry porn. It's almost like... its more grudge modding?? No, can't be.

personally I would have banned for posting furry porn at the time, but I was not a mod then and now it's three years later and the account that posted it is already banned, so I don't think it's great posting to resurrect it to page one so a bunch of people see it again. I think AIT was fine and shouldn't have got a probe

oh good lord



they both removed the actual furry porn, which was posted originally by someone else years ago, from their quotes and replaced it with a warning. you should be thanking them for finding a little piece of uxo hanging out in the forum backpages, not giving them a day off.

again, only one person in that thread posted a hosed up picture. everyone else quoted around it and went "wtf", which is the correct reaction. what in the hell does jeffery do to you guys

dude c'mon, whether you edit it out of your quote or not you know that people are going to see it when you resurrect a dead thread for that exact reason

with all due respect, that sounds like a bunch of bullshit when nobody even edited out the furry porn. it's still there right now as we're bumping the thread

appreciate the candor, but that is absolutely bonkers reasoning

lol I was actually editing it out as you made this post

I think Majorian is asleep and I don't want to put words in their mouth so I'll let them explain their own reasoning later if they want to, speaking for myself I've found the trip down cspam memory lane in some of the other threads to be kinda fun but this one was aggressively unpleasant

ive never used bookmarks and never will. i can sort of understand people getting disoriented by new threads floating up and being miffed but that is how forums work. i really think making up rules on the spot and blasting "Placeholder" on people is going to lead to bad times. just from a mechanics standpoint every placeholder a mod uses that does not result in a stronger replacement punishment is going to reduce your authority and right to rule. it can also result in a unique nickname. i think people really tend to overlook the dialogue options in favor of their abilities but you'll end up missing some of the best moments doing that.

[Speech 100] It is not the strength of the probations that will slow you, it is their weakness.
