Derails that involve talking about food in the Trump thread are a good thing imo. Like if we end up talking about pour over coffee in the Ukraine thread, that would be great as well.

Maybe old isn’t the right word, in fairness. But, without knowing 100% of the details, it seemed kind of pointless and my read was the intent was to stir things up. Thanks for taking it in stride.

Being able to drink pour over coffee is one of the top five perks of working form home…

Yeah but what I’m saying is they are different ā€˜derails’ in terms of relevance. I wouldn’t call one a derail. Annoying for posters yes and if that’s a ground for a derail then so be it (though it is a bit depressing). If discussing war motivations is a derail in the Ukraine thread (from it’s purpose as a news sources I guess?) then I think it’s a bit weird is all I’m saying. Regardless, I’m not trying to undermine your approach to modding or anything, I really hope it works.

Oh I am happy to see a new thread, just wasn’t a fan of the constant excising before this. Just labelling it a derail is a bit harsh and might invite trolling of the poster over discussion (and rejection or support) for the idea. Also like 50%+ of the posts being excised are from posters just enraged at usernames I feel like.

This is something that works if you only get an occasional jab. I know there are some users who either hold back on what they post or just stopped posting altogether because they didn’t want to deal with having someone else weaponize the information to bring up at every possible opportunity.

for a bit there were a few people who’d only respond to me in pm’s for fear of being attacked for talking to me, lol

but yes this is all totally sane and normal behavior

@goofyballer you’re trolling about old drama here, this is a warning.

You’re clearly trolling goofy for getting a warning, so here’s your warning.

These warnings don’t expire, right? A mark carved in flesh.

It’s a shame cw doesn’t want to quote posts in the Mod Action Log thread because I feel like the dildo of consequences deserves to be enshrined there forever

Having a separate thread for Ukraine memes and goofs seems fine.

So far a quick count suggests 12 warnings and three bans including one retracted, all in just 24 hours…

How do you feel this is going, @anon38180840 ?

I dunno, that was a pretty rough dildo of consequences I received. I’m not complaining, but it definitely piques my interst.

Actually that makes sense, purple prose is pretty corny.

But if we’re banning corny shit, whoo boy hold on to your butts.

I guess commonWealth disagrees, but something isn’t really a personal attack if it’s true. Describing the world isn’t a personal attack.

lol
