I know this isn't exactly the thread for it but it's hardly the most off-topic thing ever either so here's Titanic guy too.

OldMemes posted:

This guy is OBBESSED with the Titanic, and posts about it and how great it was nearly every single day.





Jakabite posted:

That Titanic guy sounds incredibly...odd. Is there any particular reason he's so attached to the Titanic? Have you ever asked him?

OldMemes posted:

Just asked him, and got the incredibly insightful answer of "I just do".

I think the idea is that if you at least tried to message an admin first, it shows good faith. If they ignore it then posting it in threads or on QCS or something might be a reasonable next step

Also, all the people in that iosm thread who were defending the pedo poo poo or saying it was a normal part of being gay or trans should seriously be probed. I do not understand how a person could see some repulsive sex creep poo poo and think to themselves "oh that's fine, they're queer and they're all like that" and still consider themselves progressive

Generally in that case a "I messaged the admins about this 3 days ago, they took no action so here's the dirt" would give serious cover against anyone getting permabanned for doxxing for something like that.

Another 100k probation just dropped. I feel like I hadn’t seen them in ages until the Guy Mann ones and it’s kind of fun seeing them in the leper’s colony again.

I reverse image searched the picture he ate the 100k for and it didn't seem anywhere close to meriting the 100k so I was wondering. Apparently I don't share the same threads as our colleague.

Just as a quick question, but isn't a 10,000 hour probation effectively a ban?

I know this is more the "posting about stuff that is going on in the forums" thread but I was wondering why bother with the extra long probe?

Thanks!

exactly this

A 100,000 hour probation is roughly 11 and a half years, it's functionally a permaban but it's way funnier.

If you're curious, probation lengths available for mods to queue go from 6 hours to 30 days and then jump straight from 30 days right to 100,000 hours :allears:

I could've sworn this came up in the mod forum recently but I can't find it. I think at least one person has posted after coming back from a 100k probation but I can't find who.

Somebody came back in the last couple months and summarily ate a ban.

Lungfish.

A 100,000 hour probe can still read the forums, so it’s kind of fun to imagine someone like Guy Mann lurking and just gettin’ mad, unable to post their hot takes.

I presume that due to the drift in the forums culture you may well end up being correct in the argument you were originally banned for.

My read on how 100k probes and permabans are used now is that it seems like 100k probations are sorta the new "lifetime achievement" perma. Permabans are for people doing illegal or really heinous poo poo, while 100k probations are for people who are just like, "okay, you haven't done anything truly permaban worthy but you have sucked really badly for a really long time, so go away and don't come back."


Yep, that's who I was thinking of, thanks!
