Someone got really upset that third party candidates are running in the US presidential election and are being discussed in one of the election threads. The probations are all the people who showed up to dunk on that idiot.

I didn't realize pointing out D&D and socialism are inextricably linked using a vulgar analogy was probation-worthy but whatever.

To be honest, most of this website's problems would be solved if every post that somebody made in the politics forums instantly resulted in a six hour probation no matter what it was

I’m not sure if it counts as a saga, but I remember a thread where some MRA type asked for advice about his girlfriend. Over time it turns out that it wasn’t his girlfriend but just a friend, that he had gone off on her over something that happened on a laser tag outing, and he was leaving dolls on her doorstep/in her mailbox as an apology? It lasted like a week of him getting increasingly indignant that nobody was seeing his side of things before the thread was finally closed and he was banned.

My great grandad was a german cop In the thirties (really high position by the time he retired) and I hate all the ACAB poo poo. I didn't see much of him before he died since he retired in South America but I bet he would have had a bunch of fascinating stories

A longer time limit between posts in D&D and QCS would make things a lot better. One post an hour, gives you time to read and others to respond.

maybe make it like /r9K where each user gets a timer, like your first hundred posts are just a 10 minute timeout, then it rachets up.

Hey my grandad was on the correct side of ww2. He actually worked for the communications department and somehow had dinner with the president once or something.

Edit yes i know no one was talking about ww2
I don't know what my point was other than my grandad was not a nazi

In fairness, 4chan's use of robot9000 is the most popular. It was originally written in part by the xkcd guy as an experiment in improving signal-to-noise in IRC channels.

Imagine if someone decides to doxx Seraph on this site one day, and it ends with him losing his job (if he has one) because of slanderous posts like that being found out by an employer. That would be a lawsuit for Lowtax.

If I ever made a threat, you'd know it. And if I was going to doxx someone, I'd buy 100 people avatars of it so the damage would be done long before any cleanup was possible. Fortunately for everyone on this forum, I don't doxx or harm other people in any other way. Those days are behind me.
