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

Larry also never went around demanding other people be punished for using demeaning language while spouting a different kind of demeaning language and acting like other people just needed to harden up a bit when they pointed it out to him

your buddy was an offensive and obnoxious piece of poo poo who bothered a lot of people and refused to alter his behavior when it was repeatedly pointed out, whether it was a reflection of his real personality or simply an affect he put on to entertain himself, which you seem to think is all kosher right up until someone else posts something you find offensive and you lose your poo poo

much like larry i don't know if your posts here are actually a reflection of your personality, for all i know you're a super great and empathetic person in general outside of this online space, but what you're posting here makes you look like a pathetic petulant child who can dish it out but can't take it

I find the r-slur offensive and I wish people would stop posting it, and I’m annoyed when anyone does it. But there’s only one person losing their poo poo here, and they are far more tedious than Larry, who, at the very least, wasn’t casually racist against Chinese people.

re-ik gradenko, that was bullshit to be punished for doing something good and fun and funny

500 good dogs posted:

and I don't want to hear that the admins did it while discussion was going on or something because if the cspam mods were good they'd go to bat for their own posters against the admins

My honest opinion is that the thread title change that got gradenko de-IKed wasn't good and fun and funny, it was a mistake. The post where the title change originated was a really bad post that ended up getting the poster banned, not the kind of funny joke that should be a thread title. The CSPAM mods were talking about how to respond to that post and the QCS thread it sparked when the admins made the decision that they didn't want an IK who saw a post like that and made it a thread title instead of giving it a probation and/or referring it to a mod, and so removed gradenko. At the time, as a new mod without any experience, I thought that was reasonable. We were also talking about an IK rotation and were already thinking of giving gradenko a break because they had been an IK for a long time, so we treated it as the admins just preempting something that probably would have happened a few weeks later anyway.

That all said, people make mistakes and that's okay. It's not like the mods are perfect decision-making robots who never gently caress anything up, and so one mistake doesn't have to be the final word on the subject. Speaking for myself, I'm open to having gradenko back as an IK if they want to come back. I think they're a good contributor to CSPAM (although obviously not every good contributor has to be an IK or mod) and were otherwise a solid IK. I would say that even if it doesn't happen right now, they're a name high on our list for the next IK rotation, which we're intending to do more often than in the past.

I'm certainly up for increased punishment on right wing dipshits, but separate from that, I'd just like to say that I'm so goddamn proud of how this forum has handled the Rittenhouse poo poo. Every other forum ended up needing to close their threads and you all trolled the poo poo out of anyone dumb enough to try it here.

Won't speak for any other mods but I know I'm watching that thread closely to make sure that no one needs to be escorted out, and I really haven't seen much need for it. If folks see something and think we need to step it up, definitely up for changing direction, but that's how I'm seeing it now.

I think maybe a policy of injury on top of insult: let the dumb posters get run out of the thread by the regulars, and then pop them with a probe for being dumb

Chain probe him for the maximum time instead... or just a day, if you can't do that. All probes within the maximum allowed time should be chain probes.

They just got a day off, on top of the one they already got a few days ago for the same thing. Not planning on doing anything more unless they come back and start causing trouble again.

I'm not averse to chain probes in principle but for me that's something that someone has to earn over a long time of being a dipshit. I didn't know who they were before they started posting in that thread, and while I don't have a lot of hope for it, I hope they do take that time to do a little introspection and come back as a better poster.
