Seems pretty stable to me!ChooChooTrain, circa 2009 wrote:Actually, I've reached a decision. I'm done with this place for good. Call it a tantrum if you want. I like a lot about this forum, especially the size and most of you people, however this forum is just too poorly modded. There are more forums than there are posts. Mods edit peoples' posts without hesitation, for stupid things like grammar or, even worse, to change the content. Certain topics (religion) are off limits. I say I don't like my title, and instead of a change, I'm argued with. Having to deal with this shit is just too much. Moderators should let a forum go naturally, only wielding their authority to prevent trolling and to keep things running smoothly. Instead, Mage and Ed take every opportunity they get to brandish their mod sticks. Well done, you ruined a good thing.
This, I think, is the crux of it. We all went into it eyes open and fully aware of the consequences of an absurd derail over privilege in a thread about the atmospheric conditions in your corner of the world. If the probations had happened during a thread expressly created for exploring the concept and consequences of oppression then there would be cause for complaint but as it stands there is absolutely no reason to be so irrationally upset over something that does not matter.DonRetrasado wrote:also, notice that no one who got banned gives a shit but you do
If it had been just this thread. But it's not. It has been not even possible to post in the top trumps thread recently because you threatened to ban (probate) people. Given the last months there was no way to know how serious or not it was.Edminster wrote:This, I think, is the crux of it.

Look at the thread with the ban times. Always getting higher and higher. That's what I mean.
The rule says "Keep it PG-13, Fuckers".Omega wrote:Is the PG-13 rule here serious? Cuz we've all seen plenty of R-rated SMBCs, and I've seen plenty of R-or-worse-rated reactions to SMBCs in these forums.
