D&D's US politics threads and general-subject threads are probably the best they've been in a decade. People are actually having an enjoyable time having interesting and informative friendly discussions, instead of endlessly miserable shouting matches with people who made up some spicy fiction and belt out weird-rear end accusations at anyone who asks for evidence.

This is super gross. And really sad that this kind of behavior happens.

Do the mods of the forum feel that D&D should include or allow poo poo posting or poo poo posting if it's funny? While it's still a comedy forum there is a sub-forums GBS and CSPAM. It's not like people can't have their fun elsewhere.

Most of the time, when someone tries to do "funny" shitposting in D&D, they're either regurgitating tired jokes they saw on @lib_destroyer_420's Twitter feed, or belting out incomprehensible in-jokes that no one will understand unless they've been reading a specific politics thread consistently for at least three years.

That said, it's not like telling jokes is completely verboten in D&D, you just have to tack them onto a post that's otherwise worth reading.

I'll go ahead and just help VS out by saying that anytime there is a post that falls well outside the traditional liberal orthodoxy or is even just the least bit spicy, it will get reported. You guys might be underestimating how often posts get reported.

It sounds like the problem might be that the posts Vitalsigns is complaining about aren't getting reported, then? Any given post can only be reported once, so the question isn't "How often does X get reported?" so much as "How likely is X to get reported?" and "How likely is the mod to take issue against X when they see the report?".
