vyelkin posted:(..) The COVID thread has been called antivax plenty of times, mostly for discussing things like waning immunity, breakthrough infections, discussing different vaccine titer levels or wearing respirators. The invariable conclusion in the thread is to get more vaccine, but it still gets the moniker because there is a large cohort that defines antivax as questioning the CDC/Fauci/Open Biden. Anyways, the most tiring thing about actual "the vaccines don't work" antivaxxers is that they claim to have done their own research, but somehow never produce it. So maybe make them do that and let them fight with their posts.

CODChimera posted:the trump thread needs an ik. i know i know, it's risky because they could try and take over cspam but really we just need them to change the thread title every few days any suggestions for who might be a good choice? in the meantime, feel free to use reports to ask for thread title changes. That's the best kind of report to open as a mod because instead of seeing a lovely post you get to see a funny joke and then share it with other people Pingui posted:The COVID thread has been called antivax plenty of times, mostly for discussing things like waning immunity, breakthrough infections, discussing different vaccine titer levels or wearing respirators. The invariable conclusion in the thread is to get more vaccine, but it still gets the moniker because there is a large cohort that defines antivax as questioning the CDC/Fauci/Open Biden. Thanks for this explanation, it helps a lot. I think asking them to actually produce their research isn't necessarily a bad idea on how to deal with antivaxxers sometimes, but honestly I also don't really want to encourage antivaxxers to start spewing bullshit "research" all over the thread if any of them do try to respond to the challenge. That's the kind of situation where a thread regular who's following Covid closely might be able to easily tell that it's all nonsense but a more casual or infrequent thread reader could have a different reaction. After all, misinformation can be persuasive and hard to stamp out once it needles into a little corner of your brain, that's how we get antivaxxers in the first place.

vyelkin posted:(..) I have some reservations as well, but at the same time this isn't Facebook full of impressionable boomers and the arguments are pervasive in society at large either way, so hashing out pushback that isn't entirely centered on dems vs reps could be enlightening. Idk if it would work or work well, but I suspect that most antivaxxers we get are just trolling and probably couldn't be assed to substantiate and so I am coming from that perspective.

I honestly think cspam is heading in the right direction for maybe the first time since trump got elected and the Hillary men got thrown out. Mods are better, the de-taintrunnerification of the forum has gone over really well. Mods are actually decent, communicative and take in thread feedback on when to probe.

Not saying action is needed, but the epstein thread should probably have extra IKs assigned so the QCS Crew can't gently caress with us.

really queer Christmas posted:He changed the name of the succ zone to make fun of a bad post that said retard so the former mods moved in with full force to stop funny things from happening that happened in september. there was a qcs thread about it, and that's how the mods and admins were alerted to it. the cspam mods were discussing the issue when the admins removed gradenko's buttons. we hadn't come to any conclusion about it when that happened.

are we ever going to be told who wanted larry parrish forum banned because every mod and admin has pointed fingers away from themselves or just ignored the question every time it has come up apart from that i feel like cspam is working pretty well right now, better than it has in a long while

John Charity Spring posted:are we ever going to be told who wanted larry parrish forum banned because every mod and admin has pointed fingers away from themselves or just ignored the question every time it has come up This was covered in the last feedback thread and was before my time as mod, just in the interest of full disclosure. This is a decision where Jeffrey heard input from both sides and made the call himself. Originally, it was a straight permaban, but after the wider forums community rose up to protest, he compromised at a CSPAM forum ban, because he felt that without at least that, he would eventually perma Larry for good. Jeffrey reads the forums, including this one, and he isn't Lowtax who stumbles back in once a year and drunkenly bans whoever catches his ire in the moment. Folks have a lot of theories that the mods at the time were whispering in Jeffrey's ear and convinced him to do it and he didn't know what was happening, but that's just not true. I dunno if folks will believe me, but I don't have any interest in lying or covering for any mod or admin, past or present, and I'm telling you the straight truth.

I can't be bothered digging up the post in question (sorry) but I was sure I saw a Jeffrey post in QCS where he said he didn't make the decision, but CSPAM mods did. which is where the confusion comes from. it's possible I imagined this I guess

Sundown Forum posted:maybe Jeffery should be an active participant I'm sure Jeffrey can post here if there's anything new to add, but he addressed this pretty clearly last time and I doubt he wants to go through the same conversation every time we have a feedback thread: Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Sure I'm here. I wanted this. It just seemed like a silly song and dance to continue having these conversations over and over. Charming or not, Larry has demonstrated he won't change his posting based on probations and bans, and now those inevitably get escalated to me. That is to one's credit when their intent is to provoke but.....I just can't have the same argument every month. I know that the ending is "I run out of patience and permaban him" and my hope is that forum banning him will head that off. Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:You are correct that I did not stay and argue about it in the "free larry" threads but my name is right there in the leper's colony. I will admit that, just about a year into owning this place, I am pretty tired of being screamed by a hundred people every time someone is probated for intentionally breaking a rule to make a point. I'm numb. If something as small-stakes as one user's forum ban reaches me, I'm just gonna look at the posts myself and make a call. It's not up to a vote. I feel that this solution, while not great for his friends in c-spam, will have the best outcome in which larry still posts in imp zone, so that's what we're doing.

if the incessant larry posters actually cared about posting with their friend and his being able to continue engaging within the cspam community they would have convinced him to knock off his petulant childish behavior instead of egging it on until the inevitable consequences landed and they all started doing the shocked pikachu this isn't 2001 and lowtax isn't in charge anymore, either grow up and begin acting like an adult or stop acting surprised when your posting like an extremely online teenager suffering from severe arrested emotional development is met with consequences from people who grew out of acting like toxic basic bitches for giggles
