If someone is being off topic and tedious let the thread yell at them for a bit, and if they keep persisting slap 'em with a 6. And then if they come back after the 6 and want to keep going keep pushing the 6 button. Longer probes should be reserved for being an egregious shithead, not just for someone being tedious. Where is the line between tedious and egregious shithead? I dunno, but probably it takes a couple of sixers to sound it out. If you don't like pushing the buttons all the time, maybe that thread needs an IK to push them for you? Don't be afraid to delegate power to the posters at ground level. Let a hundred IKs blossom.

the reason that’s fine is because they’re reasonable and proposed by people who have those conditions. I think if you have this condition you should be applauded when you use it.

CODChimera posted:

you can right now but this should be set in the rules, cause only some posters can do it currently and it’s stupid when others get punished for not being them.

1. Can animeistrash's book club thread get stickied up top? More people might participate.

2. Do other sub forums have the same rivalry between threads that happens here?

I guess this isn't really feedback.

Scrolling through the musk thread from the post Majorian linked to CBO's second probe I counted 4 or 5 people saying they didn't want them posting about that, which is about one per page. There were far more people engaging with the topic. Is that the metric for when you can't post about something?

what did those tweets cbo posted by GG have to do with musk tho other than being tweets? does the musk thread care?

secondary topic what even is going on with the musk thread. almost every page is filled with low effort unjokey posts about killing elon musk, which is fairly cringe. mods just swoop in occasionally and hand out probes but that thread seems like it is long overdue for an ik that will try to make it even vaguely different from its GBS counterpart, or if it's just gonna be a secondary GBS thread close it

musk thread was pretty good until elon gave us a snoozer weekend on the Twitter Files and the thread got stuck on hunter biden's hog for days. the inevitable descent into glennchat was just the end result

idk other than the suicide stuff it's not an obviously bad thread but it could do with people putting in a bit more effort i agree

im not asking you to separate your mind into boxes, just either put an ik in charge who will do it or start handing out more probes to people who make unfunny posts about the death or murder of elon musk. that would improve the quality of the thread. if there's a funny post about killing elon musk you can even leave it alone! crazy I know, just get ahead of psychotic behavior for once

Related to the broader topic of twitter censorship, which it's pretty difficult to have a Musk thread without, and specifically about Matt Taibbi and his work as one of Musk's favored journos.

Yeah but the form that separation takes should be probing them until they stop, not smiling in satisfaction at how smart you are and moving on

CBO's 'gimmick', to the extent he has one, is saying enraging-but-technically-accurate things (and really mostly just enraging to libs), and that's the sort of posting CSPAM was actually made for, not something that should be stamped out.

report the posts if you think they're so bad because they're clearly getting lost in the shuffle at the moment. i can't read every post nor should anyone frankly but several cspam mods check the report forum daily

if that's working well enough to enrage the mods into probing him in the musk thread of all places is that just the system working as intended

I think it should be acceptable to wish death upon rich and powerful people who are making the lives of everyone else worse, as long as those wishes don't include threats or calls to action.
