It was a training ground on how to avoid moderation while being a nazi imo.
i will only reply this once and disappear. i shouldn’t have even allowed this lapse, but independence day and all.
i don’t know or recall what SHS is. carry on. sorry for the interruption and best of luck to all of you. lots of people behaving like penises in this thread. not ■■■■■■ mind you. Penis.
this “throttle” seems silly imo. and now in case anyone sees this. thanks for the throttle.

You guys beetlejuiced Mat here.
I get that in regards to in sub behaviour.
Is that intended to stop people poking/trolling folks from the other place, within their own.
I.e. if if people reply to a post from one place in the other, or @ each other cross sub… what happens then?
Alright, I will see if things improve in the very near term, but I am honestly not optimistic. Pm me for unlock.
I typed this up right as the throttle got to throttlin’ and was going to abandon it considering that ruined the joke, but now since Suzzer did what he did maybe it’s appropriate again, though I don’t know. I mean, the cat’s out of the bag at this point.

This is a good ass post, “exegesis” is the type of word that gets my taint hairs tingling. But, I need to know if you’re going to lock the thread if I, not even, like, rebut, just reply in the spirit of vigorous debate and a little fun. I don’t even care which choice you make, but there’s a finite amount of keystrokes in a poster’s life and I’d just like you to do me the solid of letting me know upfront.

I’m not going to post a super long reply if you’re not looking to get into a whole big thing, but, yeah I can see that. This isn’t a formal debate club so when speaking informally, opinions and question-begs can look the same, and the reader should be charitable and not assume one is question begging when they’re just speaking informally and off-the-cuff. However, while what you describe might apply to some posts 100%, it totally doesn’t to others, and there’s a sliding scale in between. Even sticking with the example of a quasi-abstraction such as “disruption/being disruptive” there’d still be degrees to which we could state things with more certainty than others, depending on how much subjective agreement we could arrive at about how abstract the disruption is; thus, the opinion-stater bears some responsibility as well. IMO, it’s just best practice to attempt to make it clear what is opinion and what is objective truth, and we even have a hand little acronym to do so.
I mean, I’m quickly giving less and less of a fuck but since everybody’s is surmising the what-ifs, yeah, what if a proud non-reader starts lying about the subforum, what happens then? Should we nip that in the bud right now or do we have to be more epistemologically certain that Suzzer just told a big arrogant lie? Will these questions be ignored? Do I need my magic 8-ball jpegs?
Just so you know, the subforum is being formed despite your “hired gun” advocacy, not because of it. Don’t quit your day job.

I second this motion. At this point, we are no worse off with the subforum moving ahead. In the spirit of Kaizen/Lean/Agile, let’s iterate and course correct. In any event, let’s go go go!

The pot doesn’t even have any honey in it man holy shit have some self-respect.
And considering you all seem to have so little self-control, my advocacy inadvertently actually worked pretty well. But at this point it’s just overkill and you’re making MrWookie and them look bad.

What website do you buy mushroom spores off of?
Thanks for posting this correction. It’s a pity suzzer didn’t post a retraction of his own, but nm.

I sent them the PM only because I couldn’t post for another 4 hours, with instructions that they could post it if they could still edit.
I was planning to post itt when I got back tonight but saw AiF already posted it.

I don’t buy any spores from any websites, what makes you ask?
Yeah his posting is sooo crazy he must be on mushrooms!
It was meant to be a joke and I’d like to buy some. 6ix strikes me as the type who might know. His undertitle is galaxy brain after all.

I just don’t see how, based on history, that:
- Someone takes a perceived “shot” at someone from the “other” subforum
- A person “snitches” (for lack of a better word) about the perceived shot
- The “snitchee” makes an attempt to “defend” themselves and ends up moderated somehow, or at least gets a ton of “just don’t read/post in this subforum, duh”
- We end up right back here doing the same song and dance
You are kidding yourself if you think there won’t be a ton of posts shared back and forth and pearl-clutching saying “look what they said about you!!!”
As someone who has been around since 2+2, it sure feels like we’ve done this all before, and will do this all again. And no, I have not voted, because I’m really just a lurker with very few posts. Maybe it’s possible you feel like I don’t deserve to post my thoughts since I’m a lurker. I suppose you might be right. I don’t know.

I don’t disagree with any of that - I just don’t see how a forum within a forum will make anything better but understand the frustration those advocating for it feel. People behaving like dicks isn’t helping.
Lurkers’ opinions are just as valid as anyone elses - and in many respects can be more revealing. We need a forum in which low count posters feel comfortable - otherwise how do we expect them to become more active.

Yup. I realised that when I tried to edit my post but couldn’t because of the choke.
Does DYOR on the c word thread now make you curious about whether the narrative here in related mod threads is also correct?
