idk just let the megathread IKs police their threads (make me the ik of the weed thread thanks) and unban the word. I don't like or use the word but the ban just causes goons to use it more lol

Infidel Castro posted:Technically it's 2 threads. (3 if you count this one too) but you guys can just remove the ban on the word and then ban anybody who uses it in the lovely American way. That's called policing the community and setting expectations. You just gotta communicate that it's okay to use the c-word but not in a hateful way and if you do use it in a hateful way, you're banned. No probes, no weird punishments, just ban 'em if they are being lovely. That's always been the right way to handle poo poo here

Seth Pecksniff posted:I guess my issue is that the internet is already a hotbed of misogyny, and if we were to allow that word to be used freely it should come with the expectation that mods and IKs have to make judgement calls on where the line is if any hey look Shrek, it's my post I posted earlier, just fuckin do it already. If it doesn't work, go back to the old rule, ez pz. You'll have to endure like a week of heavy c word usage but the kids will tire themselves out I promise

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

Full Metal Jackass posted:The point is the absurdity of you being so concerned over the word oval office or retard. It's about context and is the exact same discussion you're already having. my dude I'm sorry you're BIG mad you can't run around dropping the r-word everywhere like it's 2005 and the Black Eyed Peas are popular but times have changed, society has moved on, and you should too

Full Metal Jackass posted:I honestly don't give a poo poo about using it personally. The fact people endlessly litigate this dumbass poo poo because theyre scared to death trying to comprehend context or posts is dumb as hell. The R-word is a slur for disabled people, why should we tolerate immature people who can't stop using it? There's a million other ways to convey the same message but posters are stuck on the fact that we used to throw it around willy nilly when Limp Bizkit was popular

CaptainSarcastic posted: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. dude make thread regulars who aren't psychos the IK of that thread and it'll cut down on the work drastically. It's not that tough to ID who in the thread doesn't have meltdowns regularly and actually gives a poo poo about keeping the thing alive

tbh an actual word filter on the r-word that replaces the word with an embed to this video would be a solution I'm down for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX-7AnOx22k that way you don't gotta police poo poo and everyone can listen to that hit song from black eyed peas

Charles Bukowski posted: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? idk man there's lots of pockets of fun in GBS. Unfortunately there's also like Greg of Doom and Grand Wizard Master and all Those Guys. But they are kinda fun because they say super stupid poo poo for us to laugh at

Tarquinn posted:We probe for it when we see it. There is no oval office alarm that goes off in the GBS mod club house whenever that word is posted. We are all human here and do tend to miss stuff from time to time and when the thread goes on just fine with us occasionally not enforcing rules, I am ok with that. GBS: The c*nt alarm goes off

AARD VARKMAN randomly made me the IK of the 5000 Page Thread and he eventually left for the greener pastures of posting gross food I guess but that's let that thread be its own thing for a while with no fuss. I almost had to probe BBC once that was about it

Suggestion: MegaZord all of Greg's accounts together and send it to SAD to wreak havoc upon that forum so we can discuss important things. Like renaming Seth to Shrek Pecksniff And making Smugworth a mod and making Sid GBS-wide IK
