While you're here, I have to tell you something.

Your style of recommending things, where you put a million caveats of the flaws with a series, and tend to exaggerate those flaws, does a lot more to turn people off from reading those things than it has ever done to convince them to pick up those series. For the love of god, when you recommend something, show some restraint, and just mention a couple of the strong points that endear it to you. Most people can overlook small flaws, so please have faith that they will too.

Question for the mods: do you avoid spoilers or do you read them
Yes; 99.99% of the time, it doesn't bother me and, much like Julias, sometimes it even makes me look forward to what's coming wrt a series.

That being said, I do have a couple of series that have gotten spoiled and I had to exercise thus far an incredible amount of restraint to not give the spoiling goon a little something I like to call the e-bear-claw. :mad:

It's going to sound a bit egotistical, but the seasonal threads. Not because of the thread OPs, but rather because I love seeing goons discuss the new crop of shows, what they are excited for, people convincing others to try new shows, people convincing others to not try new shows, and people giving their overall thoughts towards the end of the season. Not to mention the occasional news updates and discussion derails.

Though if we are talking about any sort of historical, individual threads, I was a big fan of the Lum avatar compilation thread.

I've asked a few people about it, and a couple of suggestions came up:





I know Wark Say favored the tractor, though I'm fine with either one or a better suggestion if one comes along. This has been mostly on the back burner because it's a Jeffrey thing, and he's been busy with higher priority things, though I can elevate it to his attention.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Would it be possible to get harsher punishments for all the drive-by shitposting in threads? 6 Hour Probes are totally fine to let regulars cool off who've started arguing with each other or the classic 6 hour comedy probation but there's people jumping from god knows which community, who either have no posts at all in ADTRW or they're all "lol pedos" and they only get six hour probes despite having a page (Or sometimes longer!) rap sheets as if they didn't know that crashing into a thread to start poo poo was wrong. Some of them end up coming to the same thread over and over, and the ramp goes 6 hours, 6 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, one day, and that really isn't enough when they've done it multiple times already.

I mean, it's easily ignorable and for the most part is but people unhinged like that really don't need to be posting on the internet as often as they do imo.

I'm not quite sure which posts in particular you are referring towards, but "lol pedo" stuff generally gets delt with harshly, and often times those posters are PM'd warnings not to shitstir or else they'll get thread/forum banned.

If you're talking about posts like Dongicus in the V-tuber thread, they used to make regular posts in there, but they've settled on a dumb lazy gimmick, so responding to their lazy gimmick with probations seemed appropriate. They're on the border of being told to stop posting in the thread and getting threadbanned if they can't stop it, but otherwise it's nothing too serious.

If there's something you think we've overlooked, feel free to PM us or ask about it in here.

Indeed. Also, in general, like it's nowhere near as huge as, say, Twitch Streamers/Youtubers/etc but, like, c'mon: This may read anecdotal AF but both of my wife's siblings/my brother and sister-in-law, the most "salt-of-the-earth" mexicans you can imagine, they're constantly watching stuff I didn't even know existed using my accounts and, like, asking me for stuff that's not on streaming services and how to get their hands on it.

It's fine, you can watch anime, nobody gives a drat. If someone goes "lol pedo" is like you can go "Hey, good! You woke up from your +10-15 year coma, buddy! Yeah, that poo poo don't fly anymore, don't be a fucknugget". And, y'know, report it, either here, via a regular report with that big red button and/or just PM Julias/yours truly. :)

I mean, you do you; if you want to say whatever brouhaha comes out of your skull with regards to Miura, that's entirely on you.

That being said, whatever it is you want to say, don't smear anyone else on your spiel. And, of course: If you say something catastrophically idiotic, you pretty much know what's next.
