Firstly, I care what users think.

Second, the ongoing feud between factions of posters has larger negative effects that can’t be undone by just ignoring a few posters.

What are those larger negative effects?

Caring what users think, is good!

[NotBruceZ]

It’s good for the health of the community if you drive engagement and get people who care about posting.

I enjoy watching it.

AQ, I don’t have the energy to respond to all your questions right now, but I may reengage later. I’m not proposing banning anyone for this.

@Trolly

Multiple long-term posters have openly said they’ve left because of this neverending toddler shit

“This” is doing a lot of work here

Thanks. I feel better, and I’m always much happier with this kind of message than a ghosting or a ghosting + ban.

Oh boy! 107 unread posts in About Moderation, I’m sure it will all be calm, reasoned discussion. Now let me just scroll back up and start reading…

@CaffeineNeeded

It has not failed. It’s been so much better. The usual suspects have come back for some reason from their modless utopia to stir up shit again.

I pretty much stayed away for a while but for some reason certain people kept mentioning my name. Weird!

Seems like a bad idea

Yeah this avatar thing is silly. Could y’all stop that?

No problem.

@j8i3h289dn3x7

all coincidentally decided to come back at the same time

Was it right around the time that you couldn’t help yourself from stirring shit by proposing to get rid of rotating mods?

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

No, that was in direct response to Sabo stirring shit by coming out of nowhere posting for new mods despite doing no other posting in the forum for months, and despite the fact that we had zero drama with the current mods for months. Nice try though.

[jmakin]

sabo posts a lot in the mlb thread

[anon10387340]

I seem to be getting along with you just fine now. You haven’t been smearing me at every opportunity even when I haven’t been around, and I’ve responded in kind. Imagine that.

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

Worth pointing out that the avatar thing started again because Jbro called me a pedophile, so I converted my avatar to one stating “pedophile” and somehow that was me trolling Frezi I guess.

Your avatar of a woman holding her nose at stinky food stated "pedophile "?

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

Nope.

[JustSomeIdiot]

Oh ok

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

I mean, I know you know the order of how things happened because you’re on the “other forum” so I’m not engaging with this bad faith bullshit.

[jmakin]

it was the old weird guy from family guy, which I interpreted as a friendly way to make a joke out of the insult, which was kind of funny. all parties involved seemed to have calmed down about it til it started blowing up here again.

@Trolly

It is profoundly embarrassing to watch and I think bad for the health of this community.

You lost any chance to actually promote change when you continually toned police one side for the last 2 years. (And goofy no, I’m not interesting in you dredging up the handful of posts where Trolly might have tone policed the other side. Tone policing one side 98 percent of the time might as well be 100 percent.)
