@jmakin

also, post the staff logs or you guys are up to some shit. full stop.

No.

[Crunchyblack]

You could just not post anymore, or only post in the golf thread. None of the moderation stuff matters at all

@moderators I am grunching here while on vacation in Disney World so I have no idea what is going on and have a ton of unread posts in this thread but I believe there is some kind of misunderstanding. @jmakin does not currently want to be perma silenced or anonymized. Please do not anonymize him, per his request. Thank you.

[econophile]

Noted. This is why we have waiting periods for these things.

Haven’t we had multiple people demand an account anonymizing and then come back? Mods should stop granting these requests unless there’s an actual PII issue, it’s clear they’re being asked for out of spite and they could potentially fuck up the site for everyone else. Just walk away if you don’t like this place, FFS.

@jmakin

Why then did captains request an anon/deletion and you fulfilled their request within seemingly minutes without such process? Why do I have to jump through such hoops? It seems pretty sus to me.

I have honored such requests in the past without moderator approval before. It seems like you’re just making this up and I strongly feel it’s against TOS.

@jmakin

Why can mods do this? They could not before I administrated. This brings up another concern of mine - if this is actually granted, before I do this I would like to save all my pm’s for future reference.

@jmakin

Ok but even fairly recently you have done this for people. why? Why am I a unique case? it’s been done, by admins and you.

@jmakin

why is there a timeline? I’ve brought it up so many times before.

@jmakin

Ok, I know you’re not acting within clear guidelines here because none have ever been stated or defined, but I’ve seen this request accommodated within practically minutes before. I gave up and considered it a lost cause that only applied to people who sucked the right staff’s dicks.

Can’t imagine what gave me the impression he still currently wanted to be anonymized.

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

You did post something to the effect of “reply yes if you want to be anonymized” and he didn’t do that. In any event, it is currently my understanding that he doesn’t want to be anonymized. Again, I haven’t read this whole exchange.

[otatop]

Anonymization just changes the username everywhere it was posted, deleting the accounts is what causes problems. It’s also impossible for a mod to do and pretty much has to be done by goreo.

[Trolly]

I guess anonymizing is fine then, but deletions should be completely out of the question outside of extremely compelling situations.

I’m kind of the belief that the internet + politics is a wretched combo for a lot folks with addicted personalities and it seems like it’s the wild west right now as we are still relatively new to understanding the damage it does. To me, the self nuking or account anon feels similar to drugs or alcohol behavior in terms of the person trying to escape from it for their own self interest. Just walking away after 100k posts and a decade of your life spent would seem pretty difficult.

[Trolly]

It’s fine if it doesn’t risk breaking the site. Deletions ought to be out of the question. It’s just going to be another way for the perma-grievance squad to fuck with this community.

[Formula72]

Yeah, I dont want to influence any changes because I have no idea what would be healthy for the site. I just read your last sentence and my impression was that just walking could possibly be a far more challenging task than we give.

[Rivaldo]

[Trolly]

That’s fair. Maybe this is more of an addiction issue than I realize.

Thanks lol but the whole thing is too dumb to even deserve your rebuttal. Here’s an example of content:

@6ix

(anyhow)

Here’s a story that just popped in my mind, and if people say ‘holy fuck that doesn’t sound true’ well that’s the point, so make a leap of faith:

In the aughts and early teens I lived on a third floor apartment facing a residential street (north and western in chicago if you’re the type that likes to follow along on google maps). So it was a super busy street during the day but empty at night, including parked cars.

One night I was standing at the window (the entire wall facing the street was three big windows) and saw a black SUV just abruptly turn and smash into a parked car. Like so:

The yellow ‘woman’ would be the other witness, and note that we’re on the far side of where the SUV sustained damage.

There were only three parked cars on the street (they had to be moved by 6 AM or whatever like how it works in big cities, so people didn’t bother) and to this day I don’t know if the person was DUI or if they intentionally rammed the car. The driver wasn’t careening around as they came down the street, they just abruptly turned in to the car as if a poltergeist pulled the wheel at that exact moment. Then they pulled out (I heard a crunch) and hit and ran.

So that’s the premise, and I’m looking like wow, pondering if I should snitch. A few minutes later the yellow woman comes out so I go down, thinking it’s the owner. But she says no, she just saw the whole thing as well, and we double checked that we didn’t imagine a black SUV ram into the side of a parked car with its right front bumper, almost as if it was intentional.

A few more minutes the owner comes down to actually move their car and the kid is freaking out because the damage was severe, like, the door was caved in and the wheel looked bent as if the axle might’ve snapped (foreshadowing #2, once again note that the two witnesses, me and yellow, didn’t actually see the extent or specifics of the SUV damage).

Another few minutes and a cop arrives, and we give our statements. I assumed that was that but the cop asked for my information in case they find the driver or car and need a follow-up statement. Yellow woman is a good citizen and agreed but I’m hemming and hawing, half because of some loose no-snitching policy and half simply because it was feeling like an impending hassle. As I’m pondering and trying to figure out if my statement would still help regardless, a black SUV, with it’s front right bumper and headlights and wheel well just fubar, turns the corner, like so:

The cop looks at us like he’s waiting for us to tell him what to do. He asks if that’s the same SUV, we’re the witnesses, it’s our call to make. We furrow our brows for a few seconds an give him the green light, fuck it, I mean, a black SUV with a fucked up right front end just rolling down what is a an empty street at 3 AM about a half hour later, and no, we didn’t see the specific damage but heard the crunch and saw everything else and, come the fuck on right…

As you’ve probably guessed, it was not the same SUV.

@jmakin

This isn’t about a low-content gif/jpeg reply. I mean, come on, Didn’t Read Lol is a tried and true classic.

It’s that the mf clearly actually didn’t read it, and just assumed I was making some crazy conspiracy theory about why Robbi must be cheating, when, in fact, I was making an analogy about perception with a story that made me look like I could easily be wrong about Robbi cheating. He saw a bunch of words and mspaints and just went for it lol. That’s like the shittiest shittastic of shitposting.

You’re the perma-grievance squad. You’re still doing it right now.
