I bet that it's because being a mod (or cop or other rules enforcer) puts you into regular contact with the very worst examples of any given population to the point where in order to stay sane you begin to see everyone in that population as an offender who hasn't been caught yet, or you become a moral relativist.

But mods are glorified php scripts, at best they'd be I dunno Paul blart mall cop

Need buttfeathered savage gangtag pls.

Actually need a "g" word in front of buttfeathered savage for GBS.

Edit: "gang" buttfeathered savage really doesn't have a ring to it. Lacking a certain je ne sais quoi.

Speaking of shaping poo poo in an image; if you like cosmic horror in the vein of lovecraft and want poo poo-shaping as an essential element of the backstory, try the short story Bulldozer by Laird Barron!

You keep flinging this poop, good man

You can see an example in the Swole thread 2nd page with Ralp theorycrafting about the forums and duplicate threads hmm yes I'm so close to solving the Forums Theorem hrrmm

At this point Ralp's so deep in, I doubt he'd consider he's been loving it up for all the wasted time it would imply

Curious as well. I made some out of balloons and rice last year for a cosplay that worked well other than being different sizes (more realistic depending on how you look at it). Other than the constant fear I was going to shower my boots in wedded bliss I enjoyed them a lot. It was a dress and the fact that I enjoyed it so much in a non sexual way despite identifying very adamantly as cis was sort of a red flag I had to repress hard.

ahahahaha you talked to me on steam and insisted I talked to you on mumble, so I did and answered some questions about modding but you obviously were too drunk to remember the one thing I told you: the posters suck and you could do a huge thing by dissuading the bad, hateful people from posting. But instead you did the opposite and coddled them, causing what you see now: where joy is gone and a misanthropic group of dorks run the show.

So I would report things to help, and you ignored them, so I just reported things to spite you and hoped that someone would do something, so ralp had to step in and take care of it for you. Then you started having slapfights with ralp because he would mod GBS for you and you got butthurt about that.

regardless of anything else, all Franco ever posted in the mod forum was how he hated GBS

he made a thread about how GBS was terrible

I tried to help out in that thread, but he was dead set on being some kind of martyr
