Idk if astral is looking into this as part of some far future forums upgrade but currently as I understand it it's a complete pain in the rear end to do this
I had suggested being able to select from a set of icons for like $5 each change, with submissions from the subforums to keep it interesting, but yeah someone said it would be a huge loving headache so that sucks.

Applewhite flew too close to the Deviantart Event Horizon this time, but we really dont need pages about how everyone that read the thread needs to be banned so those people arent posting with us.

Unfortunately 16B is a noted SAD Pet Freak and vice-treasurer of the SA HOA. So until they go mad with power we will have to abide by their insanity.

They probably should be hit for yelling dumb slurs like a 14 year old on AIM tho.

Issues with using "aids" is fair enough to discuss and I encourage folk to share their opinion on it. I don't like it but I'm also not a huge fan of word filter moderation (see: cuntgate lol).

It's been a homophobic slur from the 80s.

I was a kid but I still remember all those Very Special Episodes about how a kid has HIV and they're still cool just don't like interact with their blood and you're good you don't need to treat them like lepers. Also Magic coming out as having HIV and how much of a Moment that was.

I don't know why this is such a hill to die on. As a community we're pretty much accepted that some words are harmful. I don't see why we carve out an exception for posting like you're 15.

i don’t think aids need be an automatic probe word or anyone needs wiped, seems like posters in the sub thread were already coping with butt head embarrassing himself just fine. bit overblown imo.
Eh. Personally, I'm wary of the whole slippery slope about this slur being kinder and gentler and not as bad. Folks boiling it down to "ha it makes you mad that's funny" is really a weird thing, too.

I think someone posted something along the lines of just taking the hit if it doesn't land and, while I don't think it exactly solves the problem, seems more in line with the way the forums deals with attempts at comedy.

I apologize for posting like a shithead to try and rile up Baal(?) when they re-modded. Obviously I'm not going to change your minds about those exchanges, and you could always PM me if you legit want to speak about it.

Yeah, I see a lot of, like, oppositional defiance being the snag point here.

I think, as others have said before, that the repeated going to bat for the right to say those things is kind of weird, as is the sense that if you don't personally like the rule it's dumb and fail and deserves to be a mocking point?

If it were a reaction against, say, "16bb is confined to only the groversub thread and now has to link to it if they post elsewhere in GBS" then it makes sense as the directive is targeted and unfair.

-- for the record, I don't thinknthat post about making 16b a pet was earnest and the joke didn't land for some.

That's pretty much what happened when the IZ copyright thing blew up, if I recall correctly.

This seems less cut and dry about it?

The fact that you've cut those words out of colloquial use on your own, but now feel ok to use them is probably the point that doesn't connect for me, personally.
