i also find it funny that crazy clouds mostly unsubstantiated shitposts probably would have just been ignored if party plane jones hadnt charged in here and made a thread explaining how the nazi discord thing was both real and good

could not have been bothered this entire time to just talk to cspam and listen to cspams concerns like a sane sensible mod would but impugn his internet honor with nazi discord rumors whoa that necessitates his immediate full attention

Funny how once PPJ gets permad that it turns out that the whole thing is his fault and he tricked all of the other innocent mods and admins. Incredibly though every single poster on the forums saw through the stupid story the nanosecond KM posted about it. But all the mods were simply tricked because of this one guy, you know, the one who already got punished.

yeah it is absolutely incredible that this is where the admins' thin blue line crap took them and lol at anyone willing to believe on their say-so that this particular thing they got outed on was an anomaly, one bad apple, or otherwise not representative of a vast sea of equally asinine bullshit we just haven't been told about

People hounding guyovich obsessively because he made a dozen went blanket posts in bernie threads was so stupid. Also making "genocide denier" a meme because he mocked US propaganda - when the US lies all the time - was liberal bullshit

i want to see guyovich readminned just so he can quit and turn it into that simpsons gif where the sanitation head comes back to fanfare only to immediately leave saying that the town is screwed

same episode that was referenced earlier with the five miles down the road thing not that i have any idea at this point which thread that was posted in

Excellent points, all. Here's an amended version:

Remember, CSPAM's current goals are:

1. Free Crazy Cloud, Benghazi 2, Lastgirl, Scoops, and any other political prisoners, and get a full explanation on *gestures all around*
2. Make CSPAM a top-level forum with our own mods
3. Reopen QCS, because CSPAM is getting clogged with bullshit and all we want to do is tarmp
4. Get some actual representation on the mod team and not just the absolute bare minimum
5. Goldmine last night's threads because they're the funniest the Something Awful Internet Comedy Forums have been in a long loving time

Anything that isn't related to those things is wasted energy and antipraxis

So we're at the point where it's

Bad mods: hang out on Nazi discords, ban good posters, refuse to engage with the community
"Good mods": believe the bad mods obvious bs, cover for them, do nothing in a crisis

I'm starting to think all the actual good mods resigned a month ago because they saw this coming even if they didn't know the exact shape of it lmfao

2. Make CSPAM a top-level forum with our own mods

Anything that isn't related to those things is wasted energy and antipraxis

Plus it's also beneficial for the mods because 1. is like a 'sorry for the drama!' and would reduce a ton of anger/hostility while 2. would help prevent more drama in the future

It's win win

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah, there has to be a middle ground that avoids mob rule but lets everyone have transparency into the mods and how decisions are made. This entire plan thrived due to a lack of transparency.

correct. this whole thing stems from mods thinking of the whole situation as forums tribalism.

us (posters) vs them (mods)

when ultimately we're all just posters on a big dumb site, the mods should be a part of the community that's there to remove people making GBS threads it up, not ruling over it like a loving fiefdom granted by king lowtax lmao, because you know what doing that causes? it causes you to be party to someone abusing their powers so they can be a secret nazi, and you're left looking like the worlds biggest sucker or worse, complicit.

Just from an HR standpoint, if your hiring process is literally a closed system where a largely homogenous group is picking their favorite person apparently primarily on the standard that they will keep the boat from rocking, you're going to get bad selection after bad selection. Which, shockingly, is exactly what we got over and over.
