and because the admins closed qcs and Stuff happened

who cares if there's an official complaint forum or not, it doesn't change the fact that admins weren't forcing mods to do their job and stop making hosed up enclaves of goreporn and splatoon fan art

3/4 of the recent qcs blow ups could have been avoided if threads were actually moderated and hosed up things were nipped in the bud before they became forums institutions

jeffrey is afraid to come into cspam since the first time he posted a "hey guys, whats going on in the subforum" thread everyone weirded him out on purpose

that was the thread where he promised he'd be right back and then disappeared for 36 hours, the entire thread got moved to the mod forum for reasons

one of the few times cspam and qcs got along was by acknowledging that goku is a devout muslim in that thread, good times

how are you guys so mad about a ukraine thread you don't even post in

have you considered just not being so mad about it, and this is a serious question, i genuinely don't understand the level of hatred

did you work yourself into a forums bloodlust where bashing your own metaphorical faces against the metaphorical wall won't cut it or something

because it's about owning the gbs mods, op, the ukraine thread seemed like an easy win

another ukraine thread has constant discussion and plenty of combat photos and links, weird that nobody tried bombing that one

pretty sure all of the following are true:

1. a functioning group of mods wouldn't have allowed "give your money to a dude with no accountability and it gets distributed to people, maybe" in the first place, much less sticky it.

2. letting a dude get roasted with unsubstantiated accusations is a terrible way to get him to comply but on the other hand, it lets a bunch of people do a victory lap.

3. no amount of transparency would have satisfied the people who never cared about whether goons were being scammed, and the issue would never actually be resolved until he was perma'd and the fund shut down.

i think people should fight forum battles without guile

if you're really concerned about bloodlust and people jacking off to gore posting, go charge into gip and protest their poo poo. maybe open a second front on the osha/schadenfreude threads too.

if you think it's hilarious when goons get scammed or waste money on dumb poo poo, why are you trying to kill a walking tax liability, it'd be way funnier if he had to post "have to shut the fund down. can't talk about it. will update you in 5-10 years." and never posted again.

you can want to improve the forums by getting rid of bad poo poo while not being a drama addict hoping to become a threadban martyr

this is legitimately what several people who tried talking to plinkey wanted to avoid. it would not, in fact, be funnier for plinkey to get hosed for trying to do a good thing. i dont understand why this must be explained to you but i am explaining it. its not funny, when things like that happen.

that's my whole point. not everybody attacking plinkey had his best interests in mind or was doing it in good faith--some of them were doing it because lol drama. we can disagree on the percentages all day, but conflating "dude running it like this is going to screw you and the people you want to help, let's make it better" with "this guy's blowing the goon fund on craps and hookers lol" just whitewashes the shitheads and makes the genuine concerns seem less genuine.

it's not actually funnier if plinkey gets in trouble, it's loving terrible for him and the people who need help. the optimal solution would have been "don't let him start the fund without accountability", followed by "try and work with him when the issue was first raised, not after several days of people dragging him and making it clear that a perma was the only resolution".

the problem is that both of those require mods to do their job and welp

on one hand, the drama posters get slapped by mods a lot

on the other hand, they get slapped by mods a lot because they make it a goal to antagonize them while also getting their punishments reduced if they cry enough and other people have been perma'd for much less

many sides!

curious what you mean by this

i don't think there's an actual conspiracy. there's no formal arrangement or agreement, just two groups getting loud at each other with no lasting consequences.

the drama crew help point out where the mods are especially fail and the admins give them more leeway than other people. the arrangement mostly works with the occasional ban or 30 day thrown out to keep the storyline going.

if the admins actually hated the drama crew, they'd be perma'd already. they can just do it. maybe find a few drop PMs if they feel like they need to justify something.

all of this makes sense until you consider that many mods and admins are terrified of any kind of conflict or confrontation. they're afraid of most things, in fact.

yeah but this is balanced out by the super hard tough guys who start crying like baby mario when a probe or ban is given out.

it's p good theater when it's not making threads unreadable.
