The way people are posting in a thread I don't read is making me mad as heck!

I would have no issue with it but it produces posters like zerg mans and man musk. The latter of whom just accused me of being an anti semite completely unprompted which seems hosed up.

it was almost too surreal to get mad about it seemed like they were having a stroke or something, too incoherent. very weird post.

while hand curated SYQs have been rich cultural tradition within cspam going as far back in time as anyone can remember, we are now moving into an age of automation and can't be stuck in the past.

As such, I'd like to propose a system of auto-SYQ that chooses posts to SYQ at random from other subs and brings them into CSPAM threads at random as well. I think this would bring a number of benefits.

For one, many of our posting brethren feel unfairly targeted for their takes. This would create a fair system that eliminates bias, and helps to restore the dignity and honor of cspam as a result.

For another, SYQs are often focused on d&d and GBS, which both creates animosity and also misses out on a huge opportunity to mine hilarious SYQs from largely untapped sources, such as the pet subforum or crafts subforum, etc.

now i recognize that the effort to automate this process will be time consuming and not a high priority at first, so here's the last part of my proposal and really the key part. Let's prototype the concept using a low fidelity substitute for complete randomized automation. We'll need a forums poster who is utterly committed to the syq as a tradition and art form, and also a poster who has the ability to become indistinguishable from the content of a bot. in other words, catpetter, let's usher in the future together.

Thanks for your consideration.

Sometimes trying to read the Trump thread and glean the context of a reported post is akin to smashing my head with a hammer and trying to navigate a fun house mirror maze. I'm not hating on the thread or its posters, it can just be incomprehensible sometimes.

I agree that the spillover tends to cause a lot of friction and I try to nip that in the bud where I see it. Main character syndrome is always bad whether it's a non-CSPAM poster coming for a visit or a CSPAM regular, but as noted it happens a lot less than it used to, which is good.

SYQs are a posting cancer that escaped from the Succ thread around 9 months ago and has metastasized into the good threads, and people who want to read D&D and/or GBS should be chain probed until they go back where they belong.

D*D quotes are boring but GBS post about ripping up your DSA card because [ukraine news] is something that was tailor created for cspam

first they came for the marxist megathread, and I did not speak out, because I don't understand what marxism is.

then they came for the glenn greenwald thread, and I did not speak out because I am a homophobe.

next they came for the covid thread, and I did not speak out because my immune system is strong.

then they came for the trump thread, and I spoke out via vlog and was permabanned.

I'm away from my buttons (no modding poo poo on the mobile app!), but if you report it i think admins can take a look (not sure where or hoe, but I'm still reading the guide).

I have an incredible headache from thinking about being a mod for too long so I'm not going to be doing any real mod stuff tonight
