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

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

some plague rats posted: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 we have been 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

the only thread that was ever so bad it cratered into the ground was the cool zone and even it had its moments early on

AnimeIsTrash posted:id like to see how many posters lost their mind in that thread well basically it started off as a fun protest-watching thread and then it turned into a daily referendum on the ethics of anarchist autonomous zones, basically this every day and then it kept sliding downhill from there

on the one hand that thread was a very bad idea. on the other hand, this gif is extremely good to laugh at

it's the "sonic the hedgehog" that really pulls it all together imo.

good job re-enacting exactly why the cool zone sucked because it was just this every day

comedyblissoption posted:i was reminded of a conversation we had in the succ zone you're just running into another example of the glenn problem where people are unable to parse the incoherent politics of gen x journalists like glenn and taibbi and decide they're right-wing by default. the musk thread pulled people in from GBS i guess so that's even more the case than normal. people want to just put him in the same bucket as bari weiss because they're working together on this (that's clearly something elon decided imo) 500 good dogs posted:which is why it should be moved to gbs which is where most of the thread's posters are from anyways there are way too many bernie avatars in that thread for it to be mostly GBS posters. you are welcome to go yell at the bad opinions if you want. ime people start saying that "most" of a thread's posters are from GBS when it hits like 10% GBS 90% CSPAM or so lol Dustcat posted:i don't know where on the forums a defense of matt taibbi would be at home except the now dead glenn thread, but yeah the musk thread isn't going to be receptive to it the glennthread global initiative is complete. all threads are glenn

just post your eloquent musk discourse in the musk thread. nobody who isn't an idiot will be bothered by this. how you deal with the people who are idiots is up to you

Minecraft Holmes posted:mods working their asses off for my part; this is cspam, argue with people don't beg the mods to probate your posting enemies or move a thread you don't like out of the subforum. if you are interested in that type of posting experience i am sure you can find it somewhere. you can rest assured that if someone is unhinged enough they'll still make a post so bad they'll catch some kind of punishment because that's how it works and you know that's how it works so what's the problem

AnimeIsTrash posted:Maybe you should pick mods or iks from people who aren't the top posters in megathreads? There are a lot of posters who's brains are complete mush because they only post about politics. nobody would claim i was a top poster in anything so mission accomplished i think this is genuinely something that has improved a lot recently. i would not call any of the recent mods including azathoth "megathread posters" in the way that you mean Jazerus has issued a correction as of 01:50 on Dec 16, 2022 |
