also mods please stop with the finger wagging probation reasons like you're a parent scolding a child (not singling any one mod out on this). it's extremelyt cringe and only further serves to separate mods into this authoritative class that is separateand morally superior to posters

this


Also please, please for the love of god kill gimmick accounts and gimmick posting on sight. They're not funny, they've never been funny, and there will never be a funny one.


Also make me IK of the RLM thread so i can chain probate driftingmouse and xjakk when they post there

Anyway I think rebooting megathreads at least yearly should help out bringing in new people to them at least.

I know there are some technical issues on the backend where things can get wonky once a thread reaches x pages. I think it’s more that it’s hard for new folks to get into the culture of a mega thread because there’s thousands of pages of back history. I say :justpost: but I can understand less adventurous or newer posters getting intimidated by larger threads.

It's still kind of weird that there's tiers of slurs?

Not really? Some words are felt as more offensive than other words to different people, and depending on who's setting policy or the community at large (in general terms here, not trying to point out anyone or even SA specifically), a word might not be a big deal in a space, while the same word is a big no in other spaces. This is just a language thing, not specific to SA.

My point was we used to be the good part of the internet without the AOLspeak bullshit. We were once a proud bastion of smart in a sea of dumb. What the gently caress happened?

Yeah, it wasn't, but it was also pretty clearly a somewhat convoluted but on-topic joke so I let it ride.
