I've always assumed you could see every version of the post like Wikipedia edit history or something because I am very naive about this website When you edit a post and submit it the previous version is gone forever. There's no version history. Maybe at the db level but not at mine I had clicked on "edit" but my brain thought I had clicked on quote and I didn't take the two seconds to check whether it was in a quote box Seth Pecksniff fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Mar 25, 2023 |

I just assumed they would want to see whatever horrible thing someone had tried to edit to cover their rear end if that scenario ever came up, maybe higher-ups can do it though? Big oof on that one though Seth lmao

Oxxidation posted:this is your thread. are you the man of the house, or the man of the horse oh my god quote:That horse mocks you. Do you hear the neighing? More like naying! That horse says no to you. The horse is the man of the house. You are the horse. Clop clop! Trot about to your dingy office, little horsey. Your wife kisses her husband-horse when you can't see. And then again when you can. She buys it shoes, finer than any you'll own. Its metal feet crush your soul. "This horse is now man!" it exclaims. "I am defeated!" you cry. The horse has beat you. Soon you'll be in the stall, eating dry, bland grasses, while the majestic Horseband ferries your wife about town. "Oh!" the city folk shall say as they drop to their knees as their muscles fail them at the sight of such a couple. "The horse is such a man!" they weep as they tear out their eyes, knowing they'll never see such beauty again. Your wife and the HorseGod shall laugh and eat gold together. Ha ha! And your tears shall be blood as you shrivel and turn to dust, forgotten in that stall outside the city where the HORSE is now Emperor Of All and Lover Of One. The citizens will genuflect before the great beast, paying whatever tithe the Hoofed One demands, be it of coin or flesh. The people will rejoice to do so, as their Great and Benevolent Equine shall make their crops plenty, and their lives ever long. The rotten stall shall collapse on your worm-eaten bones, and none shall remember a whit about you. Except the UrHorse, the original horse, who shall shed no tear, but blink in bitter recollection of that brief time he had to endure you. I haven't thought about that post in years. I don't even know where it's from, because the PYF quotes part I grabbed it from all the links are broken.

Mr. Fix It posted:question: do these forums make people insane or merely attract the already insane? some combination of the two? I'd say both. Posting online a lot skews your perspective of things and how you socialize. Social media stuff like Facebook or Twitter are great at making it worse. This is a dramatic troll forum so it self-selects on top of that, but eh you could look over at reddit and see it's just as prone to petty tyranny, completely inane power tripping stuff, and bizarre drama.

Endorph posted:i think a big thing that separates these forums from facebook or twitter is that its a large enough community that it feels like there's people but its a small enough one that becoming known to everyone on it is reasonably possible. combine that with the relatively 'buttoned up' rules (people on twitter only get banned for like, posting coordinates to a bomb) and accounts having an active cost/people being actively driven out of the community sometimes it really feeds into these sorts of weird social power fantasies. Yeah I was going to say something along these lines but you put it way better endorph. Generally people here engage with almost any post or real effort to communicate where in so many places you truly are screaming into the void. It’s very easy to jump from “hey these people were cordial to me!” to “actually I’m the main character and I’m crushing it. I can’t fail. They’re going to love this!” And then you reveal your favorite fetish game LP or something.

That's a good point. Facebook and Reddit can have communities, but they're often too big to mod the same way you do here. Plus Facebook and Twitter have their layer of mod bots and such before it reaches the completely faceless people spending miserable work days mopping up all the messes on those websites. This website is large but not so large that the mods are out of reach. They're around and are supposed to engage with people. The paid admission does mean people have more of a stake in the um "well being" I guess of their account, too. Ghost Leviathan posted:Anyone who's been in any kind of community, especially small and segmented ones, drat well knows this kind of insane bullshit isn't at all restricted to online, it's just that online has receipts for what you do and say. Yeah that's true. With more IRL interactions the forum posts are just replaced with face-to-face gossip, or texts, or emails. HiroProtagonist posted:Saga request: when did "I'm gay" become a catchphrase The SAclopedia has an entry from 2007 saying it was originally a FYAD catchphrase: https://forums.somethingawful.com/dictionary.php?act=3&topicid=2030 I remember in GBS 2.0 it pretty quickly became the default first page threadshit type post, so it might've filtered out into the rest of the forum from there.

Someone once told me the joke “Why are academic politics so cut-throat and vicious? Because the stakes are so small.” and I have been consistently amazed at how true that is for so many small groups.
