Maaaaan, that fucking banana

God is dead and memes have killed him.

do you wish to make a virtual copy of it?

>19 pages

this isn't even that entertaining goddamn

Didn't they make an offsite back when they were first stirring shit on b.net? Tbh I thought sapphire died after they tried recruiting everybody on b.net and it turned into a shitstorm again last year.

Has somebody come over here and done the whole "we r teh bestest oldest bnet communiteh nd wull b around 4 eva" routine yet? I'd assume so, seeing as they dedicate every waking minute to scouring the internet for any mention of their name. How long until they start spamming every site/forum/group that ever had a single member say something bad about the group again?

I already got a warning 12 posts in during my time on there LMAO

What were you posting?

There's a thread with the title "Biggest detriment to society right now?" and I put "Black people" jokingly and not meant to be taken seriously because of other posts in that thread.

My post got removed and I got a PM from one of the mods.

It's cute that Madmaxepic said their site will outlive all other Bnet offsites when their rules are that strict. I don't see a site containing and getting many new members when they warn people for making a insult in an insult thread.

Then you haven't been on very many Internet forums.

Forums like this, where people can flame each other for hours without punishment, are rare. The vast majority of most Internet communities will have punishments laid out for flaming, shitposting, etc.

Why? Because most people aren't degenerates like us, who are okay with the things we post on a day to day basis. It's not "strict"--it's normal human behavior, and the fact that you don't see that is kind of disturbing, and goes to show the level of desensitization that forums like this bring about.

We're the outlier--not them. They're just trying to run a forum.

The reason why so-and-so got warned for posting an insult in the insult thread is because so-and-so crossed a perceived line.

There's banter--there's fun and games--and then there's just being a genuine dick. Now, Irish may not have been serious with his post, but how exactly is their mod team supposed to know that? Look at it from their perspective: A new member stumbles in at near-random, and some of his first posts are just him talking shit about their website. How else is a mod meant to react to that?

He didn't even get banned for it--he was just warned.

I know shitting on Sapphire is the "cool" thing to do right now, but let's be reasonable.

On an insult thread

I wouldn't have been so hard on the words if it was anything else. Hell, someone said "site needs work lol" and got warned.

Don't take away the context from this, it's a bullshit excuse. It was so bullshitty that I called out on it and had it rescinded.

Allowing the insult thread at all to continue is a greenlight to go insult there, or it's a lapse in moderation and seeing as mods were posting in there, green light a-go-go.

At least here the rules are fairly set in stone, so everything is set out and very easy to follow. There the rules are greyed or simply followed or ignored depending on who it is. Can't be a bigot there, but by golly you can create your own thread and question the sanity of religious people, yet I can't do a single insult on an insult thread because it referenced the website in a sea of posts saying various manner of insults. That sorta bullshit.

The matter was already settled there, but I'm surprised to see you attempting to defend them. Sure there is a "perceived line", but if they aren't setting it out in the rules or the rules are broad statements with them not being followed impartially and with impunity, it needs work.

Not a great comparison. None of the insults posted in that thread were particularly vitriolic, and most were obviously meant to be jocular little gibes among friends--people who are actually familiar with each other, and know not to take anything too seriously. The thread may as well be retitled "banter thread," because that's clearly what it is, and what it was intended to be used for.

What you posted wasn't banter. It was more than just a simple "you have a baby penis," or a "your mother sucks cocks in hell"--it was an attack on the website, which, as I've stated twice now, could not possibly have been gauged as serious or unserious, given that it was your first post on the fucking forum. You could've been a troll, or someone just trying to start shit for no reason. That's clearly how they saw it, and they responded accordingly.

Not to mention, Sapphire's perception of Sep7agon is very low as it is. To them, we're a group of toxic bigots, trolls, and shitposters who circlejerk about hating feminism and anything remotely "progressive" in any way. Can you honestly tell me that you don't see why they would've been so quick to punish you?

You're not part of the Sapphire circlejerk, so you simply don't get to joke around with these people as if you've known them for years. I don't think I need to be telling you this; this is basic social etiquette.

I'm not really "defending" them as much as I'm trying to get you to see it from their point of view. I'm completely neutral on this. From your PoV, you dindunuffin and there's no possibility at all that you could've done anything wrong, because the thread was designed for insults.

Meanwhile, from a more rational point of view, it's understandable how your post might have crossed a line, given their standards, and if you examine the circumstances.

Again, I know this Sapphire hate circlejerk is fun and all, but I utterly refuse to bandwagon.

ITT verb joins the sapphire circle jerk

Aaand that's the part I call bullshit. Being elitist about being a supposed better offsite when all they do is ban and censor opposing ideals, even by association is no better than we are for openly shitposting and going "lol muslims/women". I could show you how superior they feel with the PM's I received, but I know what the rules are here, and I intend to follow them.

I don't hate the people there, not at all. Some are quite nice to talk to about some topics, privately or otherwise (after some convincing I'm not some Sep7 stereotype, whatever the fuck that is). For the record, while it may have been my first post, it was the first topic that appeared at the time. Soon afterwards there was a totally opposite version of the thread and I posted the exact opposite. Should they warn me because I may have been sarcastic on the happy thread too?

The people are nice, the moderation is quick to judge and lackluster.

Does posting pm's from another site violate our rules?

hey verbatim 🚬🚼?? 😉

I would think so. Either way, it's not something I'd risk.

The release of other user’s personal information, including full names, addresses, social media accounts, images, private messages, etc. without their consent is not tolerated. Doing so will lead to the information being edited out and bans being applied.


So if they aren't a user on this site it's ok?
