You need to own up to your own mental issues.
Itās the same routine in perpetuity.
Enough of us read that shit show that the only way youāre getting away with these new claims of āimproving the forumā is if the same kind hearted people let it go once again.
People on the left are not abused on this forum. That is absolute fantasy victim playing BS and itās making this place worse.
If youāre going to go hard at someone you better have a well constructed, thought out take or prepare for pushback. Thatās reality.
You simply hate anyone that you perceive as an icon of American success.
Nobody ends up on this site who isnāt well aware of American largesse and the problematic nature of its imperialism.
I was raised Catholic and in the South. Do you see me fucking crying every day about all the animosity those groups receive?
Youāre the biggest narcissist on this site and you need to own up and stop relying on the amazing loyalty of your British cohorts.

When I click on a users profile, here is what I see. This is straight from viewing their profile. I have not clicked on the the Admin button that lets me do Adminy stuff like ban, make mod, change usernames, check IP address etc. This is how the public profile page looks for admins.
There is no warning that clicking on Messages or Notifications opens up that users Inbox or shows me all their notifications. When I click on either button, there is no warning I am about to read someoneās private communications. I clicked on both of those at least once on someone elseās account when I was first figuring my way around the software, and opened at least on PM without realizing what was going on. Pretty sure I thought clicking Messages was how Iād send them a message.
I have also inadvertently entered PM conversations when someone has reported a post within a PM. This notifies the mods, and when you click to go to the post, you donāt know youāre entering a PM instead of a regular thread until you get there. Or maybe you could know, but nobody is being that careful before clicking on a reported post notification.
If I look at the site logs, there are entries that look like this
Just today I was like, wtf is discobot doing closing topics and clicked on the Topic ID link. Turns out it was a PM, and as a result Iād just read someoneās PM. It was the welcome message from discobot to a new user so just the generic welcome, but still, thatās how easy it is to enter a PM without knowing youāre doing it in advance.
eta there is a way to do these things without logging your activity, but I only noticed this ability the other day when I was looking for something else, and I doubt jmakin knows about it since he didnāt spend a lot of time going through the settings, whereas Iāve spend dozens of hours on them.

If you lock the thread, it will spill over elsewhere. Throttling moderation threads is better.
Suggestion: find people who prior to say a week ago had not posted in About Unstuck in the previous month and are willing to do the job and make them mods.

I think youāll find I fit that description exactly.

I would add that it has to be someone who was posting on the forum elsewhere but not wandering into About Unstuck.

I donāt get why these dramabomb threads havenāt been throttled although if the mods straight up donāt care anymore I understand 100%.
I still love all of you and donāt hate anyone here except HeritageNotHate. I just donāt understand how you have the energy to bicker for months at end. I usually donāt vote on any of the things because I see both sides usually and try to avoid the drama as much as I can. Not why Iām here.

Iām sorry but there is something I have to ask about
So in the deleted shit I did see something like
āczechos is one of the most right wing postersā
Was that directed to me or superuperbob? If you see me as right wingā¦I give upā¦
No idea how Iām a right wing poster
I thought more about all that. A couple of points:
I didnāt see the thread where it was attempted publicly to organize this subforum. Probably it was started in FrenchBBV after I was already tempbanned and now on this account I canāt see it yet. But I believe JT and dadbud. I also can vividly imagine what erupted from something like such thread on the foundation of saboās thread.
What I donāt understand, why did people make it complicated. Assuming it is like they said, and it was an attempt to improve the situation, why not plain ask nicely and politely JM or mrwookie or greg to make such subforum. Arts and entertainment were just made without huge tramram. JM and mrwookie and greg are nice and reasonable and are actually on your side. They are trying to make things better. And I donāt see any good reasons against a subforum with different moderatrion. I meanā¦ if it results in shit show then it is so. We can keep it contained. It doesnāt matter much for our representation. I meanā¦ we have now different problems than the representation.
My issue with everyone jumping at mrwookie is that none of you is willing to take the responsibility. If you areā¦ if you think that you can manage something with alternative moderation, go for itā¦
You are totally allowed and it is perfectly OK to be mean. I have zero issues with any meanness in the PM thread. But in my POV being always kind > being always mean >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being nice and civil in the face and mean behind the backs. My issue with PM thread is a double facedness. For meā¦ I nodded along in last times at couple of posts of JT in the forum. I agree hat there are issues, I feel similar about the forum but I kinda disagree on what caused the situation be so disastrous. But in the PM threadā¦ I feel exactly like this metaphor says: like people try to organize something on the side, while being in front āyeah, I care I want this place to be good.ā I meanā¦
Swanky made me doubt my view. I am inclined to give the PM guys the benefit of the doubt, even if it is might be pretty naive. But it just feels for me so bad, so really knocks me out of my shoes, that I could be so wrong with viewing people as good and normal. I would like to think that they wanted to improve things and it just went somehow wrong, even if it is naive.

mother of god
What a bunch of toxic, thin skinned, self important, man babies posting in that PM exchange, WTF. You guys make Regina George look good.
And you thought you were gonna save the forum?! Lol

Honestly if a lot of those PM members were white supremacists from 2p2 running an inside job here, I wouldnāt even be angry. Iād be impressed at how well it was hidden.
So this whole forum is a game of Werewolf now? Pissed off any Poggers back in the day?

Itās werewolf but everyone playing genuinely believes they are a villager and thereās no objective definition of a wolf other than āpeople who annoy meā.

Good thing the ban on this bastion of the forum was undone or he might not have been able to get the link to his replacement forum posted.
