I mean I have not been happy with 6ix lately but I definitely don’t want him banned. Prior to this big blowout I enjoyed a decent chunk of his posting.
That being said if every post you make includes personal insults then it’s probably time to re-evaluate your craft. This isn’t meant to start shit but if your main point in each post is that your detractors are too dumb to understand you that is either a) true and you are a poor communicator or b) not true and you are an asshole.
Just wait until we have 3 classes of mods to keep track of whose term ends when and we’re exactly the Senate.
Please tell me the point of this post (like 1000s of his) other than “the guy who bragged about trolling wasn’t actually trolling because argle bargle” - which he could have said with one sentence instead of his usual nonsense.
I’m sorry if we can’t all agree this post is hot garbage then again - we have a fundamental difference of opinion.
Comparing someone who relentlessly posts in af to stir up shit to me is nonsensical whataboutism.
And damn guys 6ix caught a short ban ffs and it spawns this. You’d think something serious happened.
Of course but I don’t see what value there is in doing that now.
By the way I’m painfully aware that in answering questions I’m posting two or three times as much itt as any other person, and so sometime soon it’s likely that someone will make that observation and seek to blame me for everything they didn’t like about the forum today, because that’s happened before.
So on that note I’m bowing out of this.
I want shitposting banned. It’s ruining this forum. Threads like this are ruining this forum. I fucking hate coming to the forum right now and am about to leave. Congratu-fucking-lations - one more down for the CoC. Keep up the good work.
That 6ix post is very good if you actually want to know what the Captain’s thread was about and what we were discussing.
The Ikes thing really grates me.
Believe he self-permabanned from 2+2 after Trump for the nomination in 2016 and this forum opened in 2019…. so that is like a 3 year ban, something like that?
Point is he is a completely different person at that point…. yes, he still has a good amount of the tone problems as before but he has posted absolutely ZERO deplorable content here that I am aware of.
If we don’t believe in rehabilitation for fucking internet posting privileges then what the fuck are we even doing here?
who wants ikes banned? No one afaik.
You’re taking a very uncharitable reading of my posts if you think I’m trying to whatabout with you. I’m not, and I’m not interested in fighting.
And I know you know this, but obviously this thread isn’t about one ban.
I read every 68x post until like 5 days ago. In the last two weeks he became more combative, insulting and added insults and personal attacks into posts at a rate we haven’t seen. He directly told Clovis he is doing this because he enjoys it.
All he has to do is cut out the 5-10% that is personal, vicious insults.
Come up with a workable definition of shitposting that a social awkward person with a poor feel for context could use to decide which posts need moderation.
Worse, we’re the star wars prequels.
No it wasn’t. There was nothing good about it. He continued to make the gaslighting claim that bragging about trolling isn’t trolling, then deliberately completely missed the point about using the N-word being the only way you can actually catch a racist red-handed.
Of course you guys have found a way around that by claiming there are many kinds of trolling, and even admitting to trolling doesn’t constitute trolling. Because you know - trolling isn’t about intent or anything. And you’re fucking laughing your asses off at us for chasing our tails arguing the sky isn’t green.
Jalfarezi just now said that he wanted it in the past but realizes he is the minority so let it go.
Will reply later.
You also thought Sabo was a quality poster. Take your condescension elsewhere.
It’s absolutely wild we have people literally saying to others they are trolling and intentionally being offensive to other members of this forum, then the same group of people defending them saying they are not doing the exact thing they have admitted to doing. It has happened over and over again lately.
That’s the problem. If someone’s intent is to shitpost/troll they’ll always just push it right to the line but not over. At some point you have to look at body of work and the fact that they’re always in the middle of a shitstorm.
For example, I am in the middle of a shitstorm right now. I am way too worked up. My face is flushed. I am beyond miserable. I absolutely fucking hate it when I get sucked into this.
I just had to pay tilted $375 because that plan didn’t fucking work.
But I don’t think anyone except the disingenuous CoCers being clever about whether or not words even have meaning would call me a habitual shitposter. And if I was, ban the shit out of me. Put me out of my fucking misery.
