I'm not. Going by numbers alone California will always have the most in just about everything people related since it's the most populated state in the Union. Plus you have other factors that come into play such as the willingness to prosecute something as a hate crime.
I was also a bit annoyed they didn't measure hate crimes on a per capita basis.

How about a tag beside known shitposter's names?

The only problem is that some users don't believe what they post is shitposting.
But you could edit posts to be labelled as a shitpost rather than locking them. I'll admit, when my threads get locked when I think they don't deserve to be, I get pissed. If they were simply indicated as a shitpost, I wouldn't get as angsty and go to war with the moderators.

There are people willing to shitpost more than others, and some people really don't care about it while others do. I'm just thinking that maybe there could be an option while posting a thread to label your thread as a shitpost (similar to posting it as anonymous). The shitpost would be properly labelled, and users can have the ability to turn off shitposts in their settings. The monitors can be barred from being able to hide shitposts and can delete shitposts if they break the rules or become too spammy. Shitposts should also not affect post count and thread count.
Some shitposts do get replies and people would really be annoyed if the mods cracked down too hard on fun. But if there was a filtered way to make shitposts then it would ease the tension going on in the Flood about shitposting and spam.
I really would have liked to see some of the popular shitposter members get bans and warnings, but this solution I think works better for the forum.

Some shitposts can have, to a degree, a level of discussion value.
Not discussion value, just more shitposts.

What a stupid concept.
Care to elaborate?

Why are people only getting upset about shitposts NOW?
I've been decrying them since day motherfucking one.
A lot of people spam song lyrics threads, but most people don't have the balls to call people out on it, they can only manage to give criticism if it's to someone they don't like.

There's more freedom of expression in liberal areas. Conservative culture pretty much puts everyone in their place.
That's just my best guess.

Joining the military to make money is about as stupid as it gets.
Officer pay, mang. Since Dustin is gonna have a four year degree, I'd hope he's smart enough to realize that.
Engineers can make $60k straight out of college and up to six figures once you get five years experience. No idea if you mean to say that officer pay is really good, but I definitely don't intend on joining the military for money.

no one is mad about anything you do. more like, disappointed and piteous. it's like watching a retard struggle to ask a girl out on a date.
These justifications are really lame and pretty obviously not true. If you felt contempt you wouldn't be getting so angry, you would just ignore the post.

i'm not some case study, i really don't care if you think i'm fake anyway. i'm just trying to have a discussion
I've been doing this shit for five years, I can tell when someone is playing a character with the sole intention of trying to influence other people.
Can you tell if I am playing a character?
Also if you can read that then they either are poor at it or you should look into MOS 35M.
I assume you must be to some degree otherwise you wouldn't have asked. But I'm really just basing my assumptions off the effect his posts have on the unsuspecting reader (or maybe it's more of a subconscious thing, who really knows), and examining the likelihoods of the possibilities. I wouldn't say I'm an expert at reading people, this situation is different because I've been playing this same game for many years where I pretend to be a political ideology I don't like and I make myself an extremely unlikable and unintelligent person. MOS 35M seems pretty interesting. I do plan on joining the military after college, but as a chemical engineer. It's something to keep in mind though.

They don't like you because you're smarter than them and they're too dumb to differentiate between when you're joking and when you're serious.
I'm not even shitting around. Like technocracy is retarded but you're probably up there with Meta as one of the more intelligent users here.
Meta can be considered an expert on multiple fields, I wouldn't really consider myself an expert on anything. I guess I'm an amateur social engineer, but beyond that you'd have to put pseudo in front of it.

No one gets offended by your obvious bait, bro. Sorry to tell you.
But why do always I get such colorful and vibrant reactions then?
It's like when people say "I don't care" but they continue to post and argue with you.
You don't have to care to argue with a well-known troll for fun.
I doubt the majority of people are having fun though. How could such supposedly "happy" people write such butthurt responses?
One day people will learn and they'll thank me for teaching them how to maintain self control.
You're a true martyr.
I mean I'm aware I just come up with bullshit to justify being an ass, but shitposting is a form of venting (meaning that it's healthy). So it's all good in the hood, right?

tbh you come off as a bit of an idiot.
Nothing of what I say about transgenders actually matters or represents what I actually think if that's what's got you offended.

I can only figure this out through experimentation, but I'm guessing that you guys aren't actually offended by what I say (so I was wrong to call you out on that). If you were then you would also be giving shit to Ryle and all the other people who make transgender jokes. The only conclusion I can make is that there is something intrinsically offendable about me that triggers so many of you to get mad. I will have to look into this more, but I think I'm finally getting somewhere with you guys.
Keep me updated with your reactions to my threads, criticism is especially helpful.
inb4 this is a shitpost

Bias.
If you want to use that shit, sure. Back it up with something that isn't as biased to support your viewpoint then.
So if I made a thread arguing in favor of homeopathy and I used biased sources it would get locked? Isn't it a bias as to when to consider something biased?
Not at all.
But it would get locked if I wrote it with the intent to get a rise out of other people?
More likely moved.
I don't like that.

But you still blatantly told me that it was 'illegal' to discuss a certain topic because of its offensiveness it has on you.
Where was this alleged statement, Dustin?
I think it was the thread Meta made about how liberals are close minded.
You and Mr P said that I'm not allowed to make a thread on homosexual genocide.
1.) It wouldn't have gone in Serious under the trial rules
2.) If you can honestly discuss it seriously, fine. Talk about how we should murder all the gays. That doesn't mean you simply go find some backwater internet source that's from 2002 and try to present it as concrete evidence. Shit like that gets it locked and/or moved.
So it's a rule that you can only use sources from after 2003 to support your argument? Why can't I use God and Science as a source? What's wrong with Christian conservative citations?

What you ought to do is say that threads must be conducted in an academic fashion. You have a topic, a stance, and your arguments, if a thread can't manage that then it wouldn't belong in Serious.
A good chunk of your threads still wouldn't meet that criteria, Dustin.
Obviously I shitpost time to time, half the fucking forum shitposts time to time. But you still blatantly told me that it was 'illegal' to discuss a certain topic because of its offensiveness it has on you. And I'm not itching to have a conversation about homosexual genocide, but the fact of the matter is that we should be able to discuss any Serious topic (political, economic, scientific, mathematical) even if the idea doesn't sit well with your emotions so long as it is carried out in an academic manner.

The definition of bait is when someone gets offended over something someone says. You should not be deciding or even considering whether or not the post was written to get people offended, it's irrelevant. What you ought to do is say that threads must be conducted in an academic fashion. You have a topic, a stance, and your arguments, if a thread can't manage that then it wouldn't belong in Serious. But you don't understand how to do that. You consult your feelings and ask yourself how offended you felt at the thread and make your decisions based on that.
