By banning the evil word, the mods have increased its usage by about 1000% and turned it into a contrarian rallying cry

Good job

I never got rebooting threads. Are people really afraid of clicking a thread that is to big?

as for megathreads, the key to overcoming megathread anxiety is to click on whatever page is 3 pages from the last post and start reading there. If you enjoy it you can read the rest of the thread. booya, fixed

There’s only one time the r-word should be used and that is when describing former US president Donald J Trump, but also I just stopped using it because it sucks outside of that context and it certainly isn’t worth fighting over.

Yes, Donald J Trump is a Rapacious lover

To some extent, yeah. You're talking about requiring more labor from an unpaid, volunteer workforce. Why would I want to further cut into my shitposting time by feeling expected to read every post in every thread to see if the use of slurs is appropriately contextual? Having clear lines makes it much more manageable.

Well, it's a volunteer position, why do it if you hate reading?

Do you seriously read every thread in GBS? Does anyone? Actually, I'm not sure I want to know the answer to that last question.

No, you clarified it in a later post, and your response was reasonable, it's just as you originally wrote it, it sounded as though you were responding to reports blindly.

I find the big threads never leave and I don't want to enter a post with 1k pages. Otherwise the little threads are often worthless boner posts. Why isn't GBS fun anymore? Why am I, a 20 year gbs poster, living in Byob now because they're at least nice?

Because it's effectively a GBS offshoot? There's probably a debate to be had about the merits of compartmentalizing the forums into ever smaller subs.

People in GBS aren't gonna go to SAD to post because SAD is not GBS. So slowly but surely people who do invest a lot of time in SAD will get to dictate policy site wide to the dissatisfaction or detriment of other areas.

Yeah, sad is already a toxic cesspit, no better than qcs at its lowest point. Nobody sane would get involved there

Yeah we don’t need to probe punctuation anymore but the trolls need some harder slaps. Unfortunately $10 isn’t really a deterrent to 40 year old men with disposable income.

Change it to 10 push ups

SA has cultured an environment where bullying and abuse are the best and often only way to get results, I.e. get mods to kowtow to your demands. This is, of course, a self reinforcing behaviour, and really needs to be cracked down on.

Seems like a pretty pathetic behaviour for a mod to follow their posting enemies around, boiling with impotent rage (the only state spr is capable of)

So i assume spr is going to be demodded and banned for maliciously stirring up poo poo and trying to blame her forums enemies from the psycho subs for it?

I applaud Smugworth for working behind the scenes to ensure a safe posting environment for GBS freaks and psychos.

In light of recent events, let me just say that I, Smugworth, candidate for GBS moderator, plan to take a hard stance on posters from outside GBS with a proven track record of poo poo stirring, fabricating and fomenting drama, and frankly a toxic, unhealthy obsession with this fine forum. This is not the place to work out your frustrations from whatever you may be going through, and I sure as poo poo won't turn the other cheek because you happen to be in the grip of an absolute loving episode brought on by some personal poo poo. Those types are not welcome in GBS.

Vote Smugworth for moderator in 2023!

It's a fair cop
