brother if the covid thread posters are allowed to compare covid to the holocaust or aids you should be allowed to say the r word

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.

and we should be able to joke about killing people

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.

Yeah if it's actually funny because otherwise it's just a bunch of losers doing dour wishcasting about how they want people to die and what type of loving psycho thinks that would be good to read

And like spoilers for the musk thread: those guys are extremely not funny

i skimmed it and it's very u.s. centric

it makes sense given more deaths were recorded from COVID in the USA than anywhere else, by a long shot, about 1/6th of worldwide recorded deaths. your life is less likely to be hosed up by getting sick if you live in, say, denmark. nevertheless we have posters from denmark and elsewhere, like the philippines and china. we even had an afghan and a maltese.

getting insanely tired of epic takes about which threads cause mental illness

Look in the mental illness thread and tell me there’s not a strong correlation with posting in that thread and mental illness. How to establish causality?

This is something that especially you do all the time, and it's so annoying. Half of you have posted in D&D and know that breaking off a topic completely kills any attempt at a conversation about that topic. It's probably not ideal to be having a conversation about holomodor in the pictures thread but I don't get why that hurts anyone.

One of the reasons people post here instead of D&D is that you can have conversations like this without having to provide 8000 citations or be probed because you're going off topic.

I know what you mean, bud. I too thought it a conflict of interest when he, as a father to be, shut down childfree discussion yesterday. Kind of a conflict of interest if you know what I mean?

Neilia was a drunk who killed her kids and then Joe Biden blamed the other driver and made his life hell.

As someone who also had a mom who died to alcoholism I'm giving everyone the pass to totally dunk on her.

When I was making calls in Delaware some old dude told me that he was a rug cleaner back then and was trying to do a delivery to their house and she took a swing at him outa nowhere lol.

(USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I like you as a poster but come on, you need to read the room and have some compassion for your fellows here. It seems very hair trigger and personal — especially when you don’t explain why — which makes you bad at being a moderator. It’s upsetting! This kind of thing is why people are reacting strongly I think.

majorian admitted it was a bad probe & that he had acted injudiciously.

I don’t think his approach has actually changed which is why the discussion continues, and we have to dowse his intention from probe reasons. saying “I hosed up” is nice I guess but unless it’s from the Bahamas it’s a sparkling “gently caress you.”

It's me pointing out that you seem to only get offended very selectively. One might say cynically.

That doesn’t matter with regard to the feedback, which is correct. When you deflect negative feedback with “this is clearly in bad faith,” “you have impossible expectations,” “send a fax to lowtax if you don’t like it” etc. it makes it seem like you care a lot about holding onto your seat but not much about the community you have powers over.

As someone who has been pretty open about his own struggles with mental illness, I’m gonna have to ask you to miss me with this gaslighting horseshit: “Seek help” is pretty mild compared to the ableism you clearly don’t give two shits about.

e: lmfao literally your most recent rap sheet entry is you saying “retard.” That was a month ago.

I would like to remind you that suggesting people who disagree with you could be mentally ill is something that can get you probated in this subforum. Maybe you didn’t know.

Dogs are part of the unique thread culture imo but please rigorously enforce a no-posting-about-sex policy for problem posters.

There is a way to easily get there. You :justpost: (you can say what you’re doing or not) and hit the ?

SPR is unfit to be a moderator due to failing to model good behavior and committing button abuse in the Glenn thread. Should have had the stars stripped tbh but Azathoth is too cowardly to ward off interference in his domain. Additionally, there are too many video games discussions already.

I keep a log of all the death threats I see, actionable or not, and all the wishes of death. Lately, in my tallies, I’m noticing a lot of favoritism — some people never seem to get probated for making death threats even at a 400% increased rate over others. Why is this? Also, do you enjoy the reports?
