WELCOME TO THE (new) GBS FEEDBACK THREAD!

Well that last thread was a trip for a multitude of reasons, so let's reboot this thread. If you want to discuss what happened in the last thread, please post in that one. I'll be taking a hard line on that for this thread.

:siren: RULES :siren:

GBS shitposting is allowed within reason (because we can't keep you from being you), but we're going to be enforcing the rules hard.

  • Regular GBS rules apply.
  • For this thread only the c-word rule is lifted. However, don't use this as an excuse to just spam it because you can because we're not going to allow it.
  • While mentioning other forums is fine, don't use this space to bash them or start interforum drama. If you want a discussion of how we interact with other forums, by all means do it. If you disagree with other posters, do it respectfully and don't insult them (unless it's funny) or tell them their feedback is worthless.
  • There may be regulars from other forums who give feedback. If given in good faith, that feedback will be considered. Just because they're not a "GBS regular" doesn't mean that they may not have some ideas we can incorporate. Conversely, if you're not a regular of this forum and come to poo poo up this thread with non-constructive feedback, that won't be taken lightly.
  • As this thread evolves more rules may be added. They'll be announced in the thread and added here if so.

So, GBS, what do you want to say (again)?

If you see a non-mod with it, chances are a) they're a former mod or b) they got it as part of a donation drive. Those are the only two ways I know of how people got them

Bad Purchase posted:

suggestion: each week the mods should post a thread containing an elaborate puzzle with clues scattered among the many active and vibrant gbs megathreads and the posters have to work together to solve it

I don't think we have the time to do that weekly, but this is a really good suggestion to do one day. I'm already thinking of ways that this could happen.

Rust Martialis posted:

So before the recent "exit, pursued by a bear" of SPR, Captain Sarcastic had agreed to look at updating the GBS rules to handle misogynistic abuse on par with other forms of abuse like ableism, racism, etc.

Hopefully that won't be lost in the recent drama.

Another rather weird thing is the return of calling posts/posters/things to be "aids" or "totally aids". Having grown up in the 1980s and knowing a number of people who became HIV+ with some dying of it, it seems *really* weird to see it tossed around casually 40 years later as an insult. It was homophobic back then, and it sure doesn't seem to be any less today.

My gut feeling is that "aids" is being used where those posters would previously say "retarded", but with SA taking steps to stop ableist insults, they can't any more. Like how Freep started saying "Amish" for their usual terms for PoC.

We're definitely looking at updating the rules.

I get where you're coming from but I don't think it's in the cards for more wordfilter moderation. I think it's just another way of saying something sucks, plus AIDS is no longer a death sentence like it was in the 80s and we've finally broken the stigma that only gay people get it.

ninjoatse.cx posted:

A bit odd for him to drop that bomb and leave deciding to perma up to the admins

It's not. Jeff really is delegating decisions to the admins, and it's really never been the case where he launches a perma except in extreme cases since I've been here. The spr thing was a case where only he could look it up; from my understanding that's a store level access ability that no one else has.

Thanks for the feedback!

Part of this is based on the SAD recommendation of larger forums having feedback threads, and it's one I agree with. I think if there's an open channel, we can deal with issues quicker than someone wondering if there's a mod around and PMing them with no response. Y'all can keep us honest here :)

I mean I'm glad it's going great! Always looking for ways to improve

I've heard talks of wanting to halt the inter sub forum fighting through moderation and such. I wonder if that tribalism energy could be channeled into competitive inter sub forum rivalry? The subforums could make teams with an IK as the leader. The competitions? The skies the limit baby.

I believe in the past we've had stuff like this. I'll look into it more but I think a friendly competition isn't out of the question, though judging it would be a bit hard.

I think we can probably take a couple of these down. There's a few that'll be permanent (feedback, rules, etc) but it's good to cycle them out

I like highlighting Photoshop and paint threads as a way of encouraging others to participate. Sometimes they'll fall off the first page without a chance so I prefer to give them a bit of a chance before I let them die

Why? I'm not objecting, just curious about your reasoning.

In my personal view, I guess it's part "it's always been that way not just in GBS but on SA in general" and part "I don't necessarily want to turn the rules thread into a pseudo-chat thread". I know the first one is dumb reasoning, trust me, but I also like the idea of having one space where people can see the rules and not feel like they have to go through tons of pages to see why everyone's talking about something
