I once read that a certain subset of consumers will always buy the worst available product across any industry or area of life and I think the same can be said for judges of character.

Turns out when you can put effort into a post without the first reply being "I ain't reading all that" and immediately derailing the whole thing it allows you to be more creative

basically if someone goes onto the internet to post as hyperballs hitler and make shitposts about their spec script for "Phat Turdz' Funkest Dunk: a christmas story" while weaving increasingly implausible tales about the smells of their bbq chicken farts, they're probably a pretty decent person just blowing off some steam. they're probably fairly Good in real life but need somewhere to vent the monkey disturbance that lives in the brain of every man. but if someone is on the internet to prove they are actually the apex of moral rectitude, watch the gently caress out. probably an psychopath

here's the thing. people don't have to go onto the interbnet to be more of themselves unless they can't be themselves in person. maybe they like train too much. have too much interest in fountain pen, for those around them. but no one is forced to go Underground about being too good of a person , or respecting women too much . u got to look out for the people who have to find a more easily controlled tabula rasa playground to assert theyre good because they're probably not very convincing in the "real world" where the " people harmed by their behavior" live

It always seemed like a big part of that was due to how cavalier Lowtax was running the site and the modmins having to basically work around what he wanted to keep their power/authority. Koala's March bragging about being able to call Lowtax and get him to do something is a pretty good indication that he was seen as someone who would create a massive shitstorm at the drop of a hat if roused and they all wanted to avoid that.

The consequence of that seemed to below a laxity in certain areas that led to some marginalized posters to claim(whether correctly or not)they were being harassed and gather a significant chunk of support for themselves. As if evident from here and literally anywhere else this stuff happens there's always some grifters willing to jump in and cultivate an environment to enrich themselves.

It's not like the matter was suddenly fixed there's like bimonthly QCS blow ups over some issue or another that without fail will be used by the same bad faith people to try and re-litigate the events. It doesn't help that a big chunk of all of this depends on the ability to believe what people say, because that exact mentality is then used as a cudgel against posting enemies as "well I choose to believe what X said" whenever they feel their side is attacked.
