It wouldn't change my will to ameliorate the forum in whatever ways that I can.
You're hardly a contributory member, then.

Okay. Here's an example. You see this?  ^^^^

I'd ban. This isn't technically a shit flinging contest in high intensity. But this is the kind of bullshit I'm talking about. This is the shit that sparks arguments and forum drama. You people don't know when to drop the fucking ball.

There would be no one left to post on the site then.

The Flood has always been a cesspool. You just have to decide which are the bigger problems.

They say you are what you eat, but I don't remember eating mYsELF
your incessant aggression and belligerence overshadow any positive contributions you've made
No, I don't think they do. When I fight with someone, that's not me running down the community, is it? Is it really? What's more destructive? Me fighting with someone I hate, and maybe having three or four users gang up on me in the process, even in threads where I'm not even ASKING FOR TROUBLE...

or... someone who posts fifty threads a day that are about nothing--threads that add nothing to the discussion and only inflate the forum's popularity.
The fifty threads guy may be worse, but for me the fighting also makes the place less enjoyable to visit.

That is just so not true. Did Sandtrap say that he'd permaban? No. Just ban. Three days, maximum. If he wants to continue posting on the forum, he wouldn't continue aggravating arguments like he tries to do every time he opens his fat mouth.

He said the exact same thing to me:
Loosely speaking, maybe, but then so has everyone. Get off your high horse.
In my opinion, any shitpost you make deducts from any positive contributions you might have made in the past. But whatever.

I'd ban for that, too.

Pay attention to the underlined passage, and tell me how that doesn't continue arguments?

No. You make a system and you streamline it.

Verb won't can it with his replies and RCcar won't stop baiting. I'm not saying you take a golf club and swing them into the sun.

But you take both of them, and you give them a decking across the face.

3 Strikes 3 Sets is for harsh things. You design two sets of rules.

3 strikes 3 sets is for heavy offenders. But you make anothe set of rules for light offenders. When you get into the heavy zone, you get bans. When you're in the light zone like the stuff up above? You give them a slap.

That way, people have a chance to stop, think, and straighten the fuck out.

Verb and RC aren't at each other's throats. But they aren't fucking dropping it. Neither of them deserve a ban but at the same time this is the fucking gas can and lighter that starts all these drama shit storms.

No he didn't, he just said that shitposting detracts from any prior contribution. It wasn't a specific accusation leveled at you.

Yeah, it doesn't work that way. If a member doesn't give a shit about being banned - which most of this forum's shitposters don't - they aren't going to care about "three tiers of punishments"

I neither fear, nor despise.
I guess I'll simply ask the question: do you want us to be more strict?

As of right now what breaks the rules are personal attacks ( not these petty insults) and derailing threads with arguing. Obviously there are more rules but we seem focused on the argumentativeness we've had lately.

What would you like for us to do?


Edit: I see we've had some ideas thrown around. That's good.

All you had to underline was the word "fat." Which I used on purpose to see if it caught your eye.

Good job. You know how to spot shit. Now what are you going to do about it in the future?

We can only communicate as much as possible. An example was allowing everyone to see the "Warned" title  to show that we actually gave out warnings frequently. Of course, then people used it as an accessory and just shitposted to get it.

It became less of a punishment.
To me, that was a big mistake to remove that. Because if you're willing to shitpost just to get it, that just goes to show how much contributional value THAT user has, if that's how they're gonna treat their forum. That's why if they continue, BAN the fucker. Permanently. They're obviously not fit for intelligent discussion/posting.

I mean, I hate to blame Noelle, but that whole trend sort of was her fault, but she was just being vindictive. And just like the sheep that a lot of this community consists of, they followed it.

I don't fucking know. I just don't think it has to be this difficult.
Nah, it was actually me who started the warning thing.

That doesn't make it necessarily specific to you.

Maybe so, but we both know he was referring to me.

We know what to do Verbatim. You are simply regurgitating the same things that others have said.

But it is not black/white when it comes to moderating.

Because they are the active members of the community - shitposting or not.

Doesn't mean they get special treatment - I'm frustrated as you are. But you can't ban the most active members because they "shitpost"

The Flood has ALWAYS been about shitposting.

Then you take them out back and fucking old yeller them. You let them pass through the system and if they don't give two fucks then they shouldn't be welcome here.

You know what you do with people who don't care? You give them a chance to care. Give them a chance to slow down a bit and straighten out a bit. And when they run out of chances you put your fucking boot down.

So, you want us to be more strict?

We tried that originally, and the forum hated it. Then we became lax, and the community hated it.

Let us know what you will be happy with, and we will try and do that. But it doesn't help that there are 400 different opinions on what you will be happy with - and none of them are what we want to do.

It's exactly this sort of communication which leads to problems.

Yeah, we know you know this because we've been saying it for the past three pages, but you haven't actually communicated any intentions, ideas, or anything really. It feels more like an argument than a discussion/collaboration. . .

Well, let me tell you this.

Right now, up until the New Year - don't expect changes. The staff is focused on getting the Sep7agon 2.0 up, on top of the holidays.

But whatever we do do - there won't be happiness. If we become more strict, we are becoming Waypoint. If we become more lax, we apparently don't care about the forums.
