I’ll kindly ask you to control your abusive impulses and refrain from any posts like this in the future.
Given you are single handedly responsible for 80% of the dumb itt I’m not surprised you took that as an insult.
It wasn’t.
This post was.
If you mean just technically this thread that feels like an angleshoot tbh. The start almost perfectly coincidentally corresponds to when I came back after a 14 month hiatus (lol).
But no, I wasn’t personally insulted. My statement was literal. You are abusive, because you do not want a site with no moderation, yet, you refer to discussions about moderation as “dumb”. That is textbook abusive behavior.
I’d go further and say that what’s really contributed to the problems are abusers like yourself not just being abusive, but, being so casually abusive. But this is veering into Bickering about Old Drama so I’m fine to just leave it there.
Why is a user who doesn’t participate here any more using mod powers to edit a 3-year-old post of mine?
On Unstuck I’ve had a threat made against my IRL reputation as it relates to my career, been doxxed by full name twice, and had my initials posted repeatedly. Most of this was in the past, but my name was posted again a couple days ago. My old username is linked to my real name when searched on Google, so I had asked since changing it that people not use it and edited it to ‘cuse’ when they do.
As a result of the flare up recently, I dug up another round of old posts that mentioned my username to edit, particularly looking for ones in About Unstuck but taking care of others if I found them. All that’s been changed is that one word to a shortened version of it.
Here’s some additional context:
Commonwealth’s old username is linked to his real name on Google because he literally has an updated blog on 2p2 with that information.
That is what Chads was doing, he was trolling the ridiculousness of all this. He wasn’t “doxxing” and those two things are at odds with each other.
(And yes, I’ve said he mighta shoulda get a little tempban for trolling {probably not as long as a week though} because I don’t think trolling is great in any capacity; I think it’s much better in all circumstances to broach a topic directly and sincerely; perhaps he thought that option wasn’t available though)
Because it is ridiculous.
For the love of all that is holy just put “cur***r” behind the profanity filter!
The fact that this hasn’t happened is like kiddie game obvious this is all about something else.
Should have just linked to the relevant twoplustwo post, then.
So cuse is still posting on 2+2 as crounder and expects to not be referred by it here? Ya that’s pretty ridiculous imo. His real name on the other hand should obviously not be allowed regardless of the fact he openly divulged it to all of us.
you don’t think that would have been deleted too, for reasons?
Poll to vote on Commonwealth’s moderator status here:
LINK TO COMMONWEALTH MODERATOR POLL A few posters have recently noted that @anon38180840 remains a mod despite not actively participating in the site anymore. After I posted this: This is something I’ve not paid attention to (because I don’t view myself as a mod or having any other kind of authority), but I think you’re right. I don’t think there’s any reason to have a non-user with mod status, and I’m inclined to revoke it. I’ll give the rest of the day for anyone to suggest otherwise. …
It would have at least been different. I like watching drama, but repetitive drama gets boring.
Yes.
Anonymizing users, editing past posts, nuking threads etc should never have been allowed and is bordering on IP theft.
Totally agree.
How hard is it to not post something you don’t want known? Especially given we can edit our posts for some time.
Talking about what one does for work is both totally normal human behavior and easily weaponizable, as we’re seeing.
Describing Barbra Streisand as an actress and singer is truly insidious stuff.

So funny story about that: I tried adding the N word to the profanity filter after you posted it and for whatever reason it wasn’t filtered. Maybe the filter only works on posts made after a word is added but I sure as shit wasn’t going to post an N bomb to test it out so I assumed the filter just didn’t work.

For the millionth time NO ONE HAS CITED C*** ROUNDER’S REAL NAME (apart from c**** rounder himself in the past).
ffs

I think this is a reasonable assumption, i.e., that the filter rule is executed once when the post is initially submitted rather than every time a post is displayed. So I wouldn’t expect past posts to be impacted by a newly created rule.

I was looking at the profanity filter this morning for the first time (to make sure I knew how to do it if that’s what I ended up wanting to do), and I’m positive the n word was already there.
