Current PYF Mods: The Saddest Rhino, Philippe, HelloIAmYourHeart, Nuns with Guns (Sagas Legends specific)

Current PYF IKs: Shifty Nipples, Inceltown

How is everyone feeling about PYF these days? We want this to be a nice place where goons can hang out and discuss things we like without much nonsense.

Are there any threads that you feel are underserved and might need a closer look?

Any small issues that don't really merit reports but should be dealt with anyway?

Any threads that need rebooting?

Does Post My Favorite work well?

My feedback is we need to replace the two IKs who don't do anything unless they like pop up in this thread to go "my feedback is I'm going to start IKing, at all." because if we have other people loving around making bad decisions and pissing everyone off that will naturally take some of the heat off me

I mean, I feel like blaming your fuckery on the two people who won't bother to show up and defend themselves would work out for you anyways.

Anyways, I've been posting in PYF since I got here, and my general feedback is

Could use some more IKs for certain, separate from the upcoming thread-specific ones

Rhino's great, SPR holds up her end

Other than the specific issues already worked in SAD it's goin' pretty well

Excellent! Can we get some specifics? Is it open call or have they been picked already?

Yes, I am going to make Seth Pecksniff IK of Sagas.

Real answer: we have a couple people in mind but haven't reached out to them yet.

since we're getting comfortable with more transparency around here, what's up with RFC2324? it looks like they've only posted in PYF four or five times in the past month despite a five posts per day average and are mostly in SH/SC. are they doing stuff that we're not seeing or is this maybe someone who could be phased out?

RFC2324 is going through some IRL stuff that takes their attention away from the forums. I've spoken to them recently and they've acknowledged that they don't have time to handle forums matters and are agreeable to not being IK.

i enjoy posting in the pyf threads that i post in.

maybe reboot the huge ones, and on a timeframe rather than a length limit? it's kinda nice to get a new OP on the reg summarizing the zeitgeist of the thread

Maybe I do have a moral aversion to making money because here goes. You could have continued doing this forever if you weren't trying to pin the blame on another user. I read your posts in the GBS thread and thought to myself "drat - who would be dumb enough to buy that avatar in response to those posts?" It seemed to good to be true from your perspective, and well, it was. Why the gently caress would you buy this avatar for yourself? I know you are aware of the ongoing discussion about avatar traceability. The part that has gone unsaid is that I can look up when someone buys an avatar for themselves, and that's what you did here. You log in to the forums to do so and they are associated with your account.


link here:https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=1&threadid=4027239&pagenumber=20&perpage=40#post530681135

I guess I can see why you said this:

I wish I could say this is the first time you've done this, but it's not. You seem to have used the avatar system to direct death threats at yourself and tell yourself to kill yourself repeatedly and even said that you, yourself should "join the 41%". Why? Why the gently caress would you do that? Mirror universe Koala's March where she sockpuppets negative attention at herself instead isn't any more fun. I maybe get it a little bit up until the point where you start blaming other people for them and manipulatively pretending you don't know what they're referring to.

So yeah, I am averse to making money if it's from someone buying hateful avatars for themselves and trying to pin it on other people.

fake edit: lmfao I swear on my forums life I'm not responsible for that KM avatar - it wasn't there when I started typing this post. Someone else must have puzzled it out.

My feedback is that this should be disqualifying for an IK to do, especially when they use it to accuse a specific poster of having to do it so they could agitate for their banning more.

some plague rats is not longer an IK. We will have 2-3 new IKs as soon as the admins activate their new powers.

but, uh... well, there it is

I don't think any of Phillipe's recent probes for days old posts in the Sagas thread are justified. ArfJason's probe specifically is very stupid and shows a complete lack of any effort to understand the very obvious context of the post. It's some very bad word filter modding.

yeah it's very dumb. the arf post got like 20 emptyquotes, are those people going to get a mystery half-day in the middle of next week?
