Anyone who wants to post in this thread before Dec 26 should be required to attach a video of themselves doing the Elaine dance.
For more real-world examples: Elaine Dance Contest during Seinfeld Night at the Brooklyn Cyclones Game
I of course am exempt from this requirement for this single post due to supplying the instructions.
Good luck and good night.
Iâm an advocate of a Christmas Truce a la World War 1. Play some soccer, share some cigarettes and all that today.
Then go right back to shelling and mustard gas and blind charges into machine gun nests tomorrow?
Boxing day truce and then on the 27th the bloodletting begins, or did the Germans not respect that sacred tradition?!
Or the internet equivalent of it
I would like to extend my best wishes to all, even the haters and losers, on this very special day, December 25th

Iâm wondering how long before this twitter account gets banned by Musk for having no constructive purpose to their actions other than creating dissent within the community.
Yeah, so, I logged back into my main account thus I canât see exactly when the ban expires, but, it really really feels like itâs been a week (much more than a week actually), and, considering the ban length was longer than zero time (that is, 0 hrs 0 mins 0secs) for posting a hobbit meme (no, really, I know lol: otatop is closing any threads to do with moderator nominations or discussion of reinstating mod terms - #6 by 6ixFromTheRiverStyx ) to begin with, I think itâs a fine assumption to assume itâs fine to just call it here. Weâre good.
Merry belated Christmas and happy easily-forgettable non-Christmas holidays!
Anyone can see by simply going to your profile
It even includes the exact time the ban ends so itâs bizarre that people act like itâs some kind of top secret mystery.
Yeah itâs right there to read, 6ix. Maybe you canât read.
dis¡sent
/dÉËsent/
noun
- the expression or holding of opinions at variance with those previously, commonly, or officially held.
Quit expressing opinions that disagree with those previously, commonly, or officially held.
Then weâre good.
@moderators and everybody else, please read and consider.
Once again I see this topic/sub-forum is getting lots of activity, making it very visible on the forum. I do not know or care what stupid shit people are arguing about, but a quick scroll sure seems like itâs the same handful of people yelling about the exact same things theyâve been yelling about for years. It is not really about moderation. It is not even about the forum. It is about the interpersonal bullshit that the vast majority of this forumâs users have repeatedly and unambiguously shown we do not care about or want to see.
I made a place precisely for this crap. It should be used. Nothing good or useful has ever come from any of this and none of it should be given oxygen by allowing it to be so visible. I shouldnât have to constantly ignore and mute entire threads in what should be a useful and informational sub-forum just to avoid the toxic asshattery of a dozen people. I shouldnât have to worry that one day any of this will finally (arguably, again) snowball to the point of putting the forumâs entire existence at risk.
Yes, moving content to French BBV is explicitly stating that content is worthless and unimportant. Anybody who thinks any of this shit is necessary or useful for the forum is flat out wrong. This forum exists in spite of all this idiocy, not because of it. I know this because I was there when it was created. I was also there to help put the pieces back together once when the idiocy got amplified and almost wrecked the forum. None of these arguments have ever helped anything, at all. They only make things worse.
Use French BBV for its intended purpose. The standards for behavior in About Unstuck should be no different than the rest of the main forum. Moderate for the 90% of us who just want to use this place as it was meant to be used, not for the 10% who want to wallow in Jerry Springer drama. If I am constantly being made aware of dumb shit I do not want to be aware of, then it isnât being contained well enough.
Hear hear!
In the past some of those 10%ers have complained about the arguing being contained to French BBV because they canât view it. Maybe an @admins @spidercrab can reduce the trust level needed to view the forum to 1.
If that can be done, great.
If that canât be done, it shouldnât be the tiny minority that gets appeased.
Right you banned me for a week for being âtoo combativeâ in criticizing one of your insane moderation decisions. But you have issues with a one day ban for 3 consecutive PMs calling your fellow moderator a coward? Itâs all just teams with you and you sure do hate me and âmyâ âteamâ. What would you do if I sent you three PMs calling you a coward? We both know what youâd do to someone like me you hate.
I mean youâd never let it get to three PMs, youâd ban me for a month right off the bat.
