Weka posted: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

Jazerus posted:what can i say, i'm capable of basic separation of a behavior by a small group of posters from an evaluation of the thread as a whole. historically a rare skill for a cspam mod, i know 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

docbeard posted: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. 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

ScrubLeague posted: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. If you can make it funny or interesting and not descend into psycho parroting deathlust I agree. if people just want to post over and over about how they wish the worst people they know would die or kill themselves, or celebrate it when they do, all with zero humor there are other subs for that

HashtagGirlboss posted:Have you ever known somebody who has bad discipline with their dogs? And you go into their house and it smells terrible but they don’t even realize it stinks because they’re accustomed to it? i think the mods are doing a pretty decent job of balancing this lately. gotta walk a fine line where the people handing out punishments understand what the thread's vibe is, but also don't get so caught up in deflecting outside criticism that really wild stuff snowballs. never gonna be to everyone's liking

TehSaurus posted:I also have mixed feelings on the prohibition of death posting. so much of civilization is organized around murdering the powerless for profit that it feels a bit like imo, the "you can do it if it's funny" rule is to prevent the Ashli Babbitt effect -- basically what happens when it's socially acceptable for liberals to post the most deranged takes they can think of on a topic, it escalates into really unhinged and unfunny stuff pretty easily. It's not about defending billionaires or even stopping people from posting about horrible things happening to them. It's just about putting the absolute minimal effort at humor into it, to avoid it turning into just pages of people posting about graphic death and suicide, which pretty quickly becomes posting about the graphic death and suicide of anyone liberals are mad at for related reasons. speng31b has issued a correction as of 15:24 on Dec 14, 2022 |

to not be able to publicly lust for the deaths of the oppressors. Like sure it would be better if the death posts were funny but so much of cspam is just unfunny wailing and gnashing of teeth and I feel like this is just a different flavor of that?

comedyblissoption posted:i was reminded of a conversation we had in the succ zone i think you should just be proud of having achieved perfect glennbrain. you can post correct things people get disproportionately mad about because they've already decided what "side" you are on, and even the mods are mad at you for it tbh i figured this was your intention

TehSaurus posted:I agree with everything written here. Except for maybe the premise. We’ve carved out a special exception for death posting instead of just probing people for bad posting. I think this is important as if we probed people for being unfunny then like why is my account in good standing? What would even be left of the forum? So we need exceptions for posts that go beyond just being bad. there is an explicit rule against bloodlust in cspam. as it is this is enforced very loosely, which is totally fine as long as people do not get ultra weird about it (challenge - impossible) quote:7. Do not say that anyone, on here or off, specific or general should kill themselves. Do not say that it would be good if anyone killed themselves. Do not say that anyone should be killed. Do not lay out methods for successful suicide, even if you direct them toward hypothetical terrible people who might be reading. These types of posts can be triggering and it's not cool.

Majorian posted:Okay, well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but here's the thing: if you're going to be a prick, gently caress you. I'm going to probe you. i don't have any feedback on this stuff related to moderation policy but i will say that going back to when i started posting in SA actively again (i guess about a year?) you and AIT have been so openly hostile to each other in such petty ways that I wish you'd just fight or gently caress or whatever it is you need to end the bloodshed

If he could chill even for just a little bit I'd ignore him. idk man, i have no dog in this fight. im just telling you from the outside it's looked super weird and petty from both of you, and now that you're a mod you'll just get more poo poo for using your mod powers to litigate your slapfight. Take that as you will

Majorian posted:It's just as weird and petty to me, and I really don't know why it's happening, but I didn't start it. You can believe that or disbelieve that however you like, but I'm tired of it. Like I said, I don't get paid for this, so I'm just not going to put up with it anymore. fwiw, I thought you did a pretty good job with the whole Ukraine meltdown saga and keeping things from going off the rails again. hope your experience on the forums stays positive. try not to let cspam's trademark style of low effort aggro trolling get to you too much
