Fuck me I was hoping I’d come back to see a combo-break at this point but alas.
It’s a disturbing testament to the dysfunction of this forum that people, from either side (the supposed neutrals are ~all really on one side BUT I DIGRESS), are scared to post in this thread and even give hearts.
Like, really try to let that sink in for a second.
Even myself! I mean obv I’m ultimately like F U I Do Wat I Want, but I even have this low-grade pavlovian anxiety that if I post a bunch of times in a row then I’m Doing Something Wrong. When in reality it does not matter, in the sense of having some, even negligible, negative effect in the slightest.
Just typing it out is so insane that I hope I’m helping some future student with their thesis about online communities.
Every time this topic is discussed at any medium-to-great length, inevitably (like our specific Law Of Internet) somebody will say something to the effect, “Omg on no other forum will this be tolerated omg on all other forums they would’ve moderated the devil out of this etc etc etc.” But, a specific site is never named.
So. Which forum sites? Name one.
Spoiler alert: You can’t, because it doesn’t exist, because the only thing that is similar to this is {Censored}'s OOT and that was an elaborate running joke. The examples like Cooking A Good Steak Forum don’t apply, but even then I’d guess they’d have an offtopic non-steak subforum where anything goes. I’d wager there’s no forum in existence, of this size and scope, devoted to talking about anything (lol unstuck politics get real), that doesn’t do community modding with a healthy amount of respect in all directions, that doesn’t ascribe to this utterly sociopathic behavioral norm of pretending like we’re all perfect strangers who haven’t been posting together in various venues for almost two decades lol. It’s utterly deranged.
I know guys, sorry, it’s seems too perfect to be real but PVN is not my sockpuppet. Dudes as corny and cringe and mediocre as this really do exist. When an ACist stops saying the n-word he has to go somewhere, I guess, and I for one am a welcoming dude.
Ignoring DrModern because that is a medical emergency anomaly, we haven’t had a ban in over 24 hrs and my erection is barely holding on to 4/5ths chub.
p.s. I would say ban @pvn but it’s my sockpuppet and thus won’t do much for blood-flow.
The same reason you’re still waiting on your account deletion requests, only an admin can handle them.
You know this, of course, but are choosing to bring it up because having your “forum enemies” ask for their accounts to be deleted isn’t enough of a victory, I guess.
It’s so not trolling it should probably be stickied. Whenever NewOnlineFriendsNeeded makes some grand proclamation about the contents of posts, everybody can be reminded he doesn’t read anything with multiple sentences and polysyllabic words and thus his input shouldn’t impede reconciliation.
But seriously Clovis, we just might be at an impasse here. I think my overnight posts do a lot of work towards reconciliation. Like NOFN says, somebody would have to read them first though.
