i think its appropriate in a poetic sense that jeffrey is doing everything he can to ensure the comfort and safety of the same people who instantly ditched the site for bnr and only came crawling back when the offsite imploded due to having no good posters (the only reason). keep chasing those moderates my man, it will pay off. you'll see. once the angry mean girls are brought to heel or destroyed, the trump thread posters will quiet down and stop looking for new targets. we saw that just a few years ago

there's not much to say. pyf sagas thread loves to rubberneck the weirdest and worst poo poo on the site, and they finally found a dragon they couldn't slay in the "i jerk off my weiner to human beings dying live on camera" thread

that thread is disgusting and it deserves to be trolled. The cspam Ukraine War thread is bad but it ain't that bad.

the mods are known for giving out harsh punishments to their posting friends

eh, the sagas were very done and it was a weird chat thread that was kind of amusing because of the user cross section and qcs being closed. seems like those should only go up every once in a while as they're already repeats of repeats. the balkanzation of SA is pretty weird

this is the site the admins want.

The contempt that the mods and admins have for the users kind of rocks.

it used to be a more active, vindictive hatred. Now it's more apathetic.

My favorite part is that they came back lmao

my favorite part was F Stop Fitzgerald reposting it and getting banned because reading posts is too hard for the mods

anyway i knew pretty much nothing about that thread and the people who post there, but taking a quick look it seems bad and the mod protecting it also seems bad. seems like a hosed-up thing that will only get worse the longer it goes unaddressed, so see everyone here in 2 months when one of them assaults russian immigrants in public or whatever

reading posts and understanding them in context is a power few possess.

the mods are middle managers and no matter how many words they write they still won't be paid, listened to or cared about

long posts in qcs and qcs-likes are sometimes unpleasant to read but necessary imo. its important to remember that the staff of this site, from jeff on down, are incapable of even perceiving subtext, much less understanding it. they cannot comprehend something unless you spell it out for them in as much detail as possible. even if they could, they're so afraid of being wrong on some minor technical point that they won't engage with any ambiguity.

except prag, obviously. always except prag

Pity the mods can't appreciate when Cher says she has so much more fun vegging out instead of partying exactly when her secret crush Josh is around.

James: You were a decent moderator. Improvements that come with experience happen gradually but not to this extent. Something inside you, it shifted. What was it?

Hallucination: Go on kid, say my name. SAY. MY. NAME.

Jeff: LARRY!

i really do believe at this point that they only opened that new feedback sub to honeypot the posters they didn't like for further bans and permas for sass

welp

I'm very sympathetic to the anger over Jeff's mass thread probe and I told him as much at the time, because even for those of us with healthy and happy social lives outside the forums, the forums are still one part of our social life where we post with friends and the holidays are a nice time to be with your friends. Like from my perspective I wasn't able to post about the busiest time of the Premier League season with my friends because like 80% of them were on probation and some of them never came back afterwards, which made me very sad, and I know the football forum is hardly the only place on SA with a similar story

yeah more and more posters aren't coming back.

then why is there a 15 page thread

because mods use word filter moderation as a facade to punish people they don't like. also

I'm dumb as gently caress and posting in newCS never crossed my mind even once

people who like the forums want the admins to understand why they do and change things to reflect that, but no combination of words or images is going to do that.
