I think we should joke about what we want, but at the same time respect others' feelings. If something is particularly triggering to someone, we should respect them and maybe hold off on joking about a particular topic. I am okay with the way that BYOB is being run and think that besides the recent dust-up, things have been handled well by the moderation team. Though I will say that I am a little disappointed in Barking Gecko for not handing out more comedy or themed probes. |

I hate it when we fight  I've always loved the "Island of chill and magic" aspect of BYOB. If something isn't chill or magical, and it washes up on our shores, maybe we could look at it, or even smell it, but some things maybe shouldn't be touched?

Thank you everyone for your thoughts on this and everything in general! We thought we'll just keep this thread around for potential later use, if ever, as a general feedback thread. You can always pm or email us if you'd like, as well as bring something up itt, whatever it may be, so we have a good place to talk about it sincerely without pushing any other thread out of proportions. I'll have this bookmarked, so it can easily disappear beyond the front page of byob in the mean time, but we want to make it clear that everyone can their opinion make heard about how this lovely colorful place is run  Now, let's post  edit: I've edited the op of the thread to reflect the more general approach of this thread, will change the title uhm once I remember to do so on my laptop ehhh phone mod buttons are so small Goons Are Gifts fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Jul 31, 2022

once a week everyone votes to send someone to the grinder, which can be blocked with super veto power or if you can crowdfund enough money from the studio and home audience. should you still end up at the grinder you can answer skill testing questions to sacrifice only parts of yourself and return to enact your revenge

right now, my general vibe about byob is that it's cool and good and chill and welcoming and posters here tend to be reasonable also, I wish there was a new killzone because I miss getting probations from nine gear crow

Grinches are Glowing posted:what's your favorite poster It's probably like a smokin' hot babe in a bikini holding a big gun or power tool and posing sexy style next to some super expensive foreign sports car and it says something badass like "2 Hot 4 U" in fancy cursive writing at a slant up in the corner. Oh, and it's hanging above a toolbox in a garage, obviously, and there's probably a tiny calendar or a nascar schedule or something at the bottom as an excuse to make it "functional" even though it's years out of date, and it's sponsored by some beer company or something similar. It's the most "poster" that a poster could be.

I agree with all of the above and also we not only have to post in a some thread to wait for an admin to change the title in a matter of days no actually byob gets ignored in our request all the time so I have to resubmit the post AGAIN and ask AGAIN and it's very involved im going to empty quote this into the mod forum and show the admins what this is really about

I have written a DEAR ASTRAL threadnaught in the mod forum about the above requests especially the last one by Kaiser so either I will now get permad or if I'm not gone by ten minutes from now you can expect implementation in a matter of hours probably, I'm sure astral will make the right choice and not anger the will of our liege

Did you know that the report system is built around a robot posting in a report forum and we post about how we react to said report and then an admin has to move it manually into another subforum conveniently called like the resolution we have chosen for said report yes there is a mod for the report forum and yes we can report reports you don't want to know what happens when we do that, last time the forums were gone for a week
