i for one enjoy spr's style

i agree wholeheartedly, which is why we need to get rid of the cspam insular chat threads because people just don't feel comfortable walking into threads and insulting the regulars

it is a goddamn crime that the only place that lets me make fun of cspam posters is drama threads posted in other forums, the mods should all be fired into the sun so i can do more victory laps and be one of the cool kids

i request that the mods and admins do not work to develop three or even thirty minute probation lengths

nah, gently caress it, use the mod powers. you're not hitting anyone that will get you demodded.

if there's a group of people who just want to stir poo poo and be hostile towards a forum, idk, maybe they should post somewhere else, there's like four other forums where people can go "ha ha remember the cool zone and plinkey? heh", they can go post there

refusing to use buttons and moderator authority except in the obvious cases of rulebreaking or when another forum piles in to gawk is how cspam managed to achieve all of the following:

a dipshit in an elementary waving a razor blade for vlog clout when he wasn't noticeably increasing the forums revenue by plastering his face everywhere
a thread that radicalized the scourge of pacific northwestern proud boy toes
a goonfund run by the laziest possible person instead of being given parameters before it was allowed to not be gassed on sight
a "containment" thread for baiting people into arguing with the most tedious and contrarian centrist takes since the media literacy thread

and the takeaway from all of this is "no, mods should use their buttons less and just let posters riff it out"

Your whole argument is predicated on the idea that there was a forum war between C-SPAM and GBS, and that if we did something to C-SPAM, we had to do the same to GBS and vice versa and that's just dumb.

the impression given was that every permaban from GBS for the war thread was met with one from CSPAM, which checks out per the leper's colony. more people got regular bans from the GBS thread, but that's also the thread that had more people posting in it. :shrug:

it may have not been intentional but i can't blame someone on either side looking at the results and going "that side got off easy, there must have been some sort of negotiation or tit-for-tat"
