this sure is a half measure that guarantees that everyone's at least a little unhappy so we'll see

just make the rule "do not mention real AI at all in TG outside the designated thread"

Agreed

For real though, that's a slap on the wrist sixer for just drive by posting "see its just like the thing" without anything else to say

The point is that it’s an utterly normal post to be making. Like if you posted about Elon Musk’s computer brain implants thing in a cyberpunk thread.

Yeah but if they posted that as well you would want more than just here is a thing because otherwise anytime a tomb or a cool sword is found I'd post it in the dnd thread and go "just like the tomb of hotdogs!!"

Edit: my phone corrected horrors to hotdogs and I don't want to change it

EDIT VVV: I mean, yeah, you want more than that. But we aren't probating people for making profoundly mediocre posts.

Why not
Post mid get 6 seems right

I try to live by a policy of "don't feed the trolls," but

In their defense the big long effort posts have largely been the same arguments that were made in the previous threads except more bitter

Edit: I don't think either of them are forums stalking but just slap fighting in this thread

Well, yes, that's how you come off. If multiple people describe your behavior in similar unflattering manner, it might just be because that's what it looks like to other people.

How do you think you come off lol

I'm not sure if this board has more broken stairs type posters than your average sa forum but I'm in support of the moderation team taking a harder stance than "well, we don't wanna"

I think it's very evident why you got a sixer for those posts. My feedback is that not all discussions are healthy or should be encouraged.

A sixer is barely a punishment it's telling you to take a nap or hit the showers and post again when you're cooled off

One time I told Arivia to take a break from posting and come back after cooling off. The result was a vendetta that lasted for years, with various attempts to smear me as being a white nationalist, child pornographer, blatant heterosexual, or all of the above.

if you're straight you need to apologize for the good of the community

Also it's A SIXER it's barely above time out why grudge about it

This thread seems pretty fine. If TG rebooted a thread every time there was a fight or argument no thread would last longer than 5 pages

I don't think that reflects well on this board

It really feels like every time the moderation staff here get any sort of feedback they read it in the worst possible light and insist that actually things are fine the way they are. Give more sixers about aggro posting. Nobody except the very worst this board has been cultivating through inaction will be mad about that. Don't overthink it.

like the stuff that makes threads poo poo to read is drama, hostility, slapfights etc. thats the whole point of giving people a "cool off" probation

Especially if they are the kind of person who continues to have that be a problem
