I got confused in the fallout of everything and it fell to the back of my mind tbh. Regardless monsterenvy feels bad about the whole thing so I'm not gonna probate him and the thread is already gassed and over with so I'm not punishing people solely because they made bad posts in an already hopeless thread.

based on the only other instances of "hornyposting" i've seen being the extremely epic GBS guys who post/posted about wanting to gently caress snakes with tits or "tugging," i'm going to disagree on it being sometimes funny and instead propose it's extremely bad

Calling someone a retard isnt really akin to at the most generous reading being really really creepy about characters that look like children.

Yeah this lmao. Either the vtuber thread has to be ok with this to some degree because it's such a part of the general community now, or there shouldn't be a vtuber thread. And I mean that honestly, a vtuber thread just might not make sense for SA because of this. You're probably better off finding a couple of people who are on the same wavelength as you wrt streamers talking about sexuality and starting your own discord server.

I think hornyposting is ok (liberating, even) if you have certain, trusted friends to do it with, but I do not trust goons on SA with that power and don't think SA is the right venue for it.

Anyway I only lurked the new vtuber thread, but I thought you did a great job moderating it Baal, considering the circumstances

can't believe there was creepy posting from the person who got a month-ban and threadban from the Dungeons and Dragons thread for being too creepy there

no one could ever possibly have expected that

I don't think I was being creepy in the Dungeons and Dragons thread, I was just being stupid. And I like to think I have largely improved in the years since, though I did make an rear end of myself here.

I think Captain Baal was in the right, and did a good job moderating.

Dunno, seems to me that the vtuber thread was just destined to fail. Both the posters and the mods didn't seem very chill in what should (in my mind) be a stupid thread about watching a bunch of people pretending to be anime idiots while playing video games. I just wanted a place to find links to funny vtuber stuff. Oh well, at least there is a bunch of good clippers to follow.

i would not have this opinion if i had ever once seen funny horny posting on this website. note that I sat horny posting and not merely having sexual content. i don't need to see a bunch of guys in their 40s making the text version of siren noises over some babe, i work with old dipshits irl and I hear enough if that all day long.

the thread was called be cool or die. a lot of people werent cool in a lot of different ways, so the thread died. if for whatever reason baal would want the thread to come back and take an even heavier hand to it, and have me or someone else ik it on top to make sure its more stringently moderated, then that would probably be the best case scenario, but as it stands it deserved to die so its dead. let it go and post about anime girls on one of the infinite other venues on the internet

My apologies if reporting the people who were responding to be more egregious shitposting was causing stress. (Though most of them showed as already reported and I'm not sure anything written actually gets through as an attachment to the original report in that case?) My line of thinking was just just that it's as much threadshitting to respond to the posts instead of ignoring them and that maybe if probes were handed out for that too the hangers on and the people who couldn't help themselves might get the message.

It's too bad that people who do not seem to have the capacity to not equate enjoying something with wanting to gently caress it can bully the thread off by making posts far worse than anything going on in the thread, but I'm sympathetic to the fact that doing something more substantial was blocked at a higher level.

If there was a group of users who deliberately made a thread unusable with the intent to crash it into the ground I would probably remove them from the forum instead of giving them what they wanted, but I look forward to having drivebys decide which threads people can post in.

There was some pretty fail posting on both sides of the vtuber wars, but the reality is that SA is just not a place where discussion of vtubers is a viable thing. It's a shame, but it's not like its the only place to talk about them lol

I think, conversely, that the jacking off to anime avatars thread basically exists to be driven into the ground. Every iteration of that thread has been a bunch of depressing 'just spent my rent check on a superchat so the shark girl calls me sweetie' or people trying to put together a foot shot compilation. That poo poo doesn't belong on SA or frankly in polite society lol.

Anyway in general there's not a roving horde of trolls in this website. If people are getting made fun of it's either because they're saying stuff that's weird even by the degenerate standards of this website or they're incredibly easy to wind up. in both of these cases you shouldn't punish the people making the jokes and instead get the weird/annoying people to stfu, as they derail the conversation.

Or in this most recent case, give everyone with a functioning brain stem a case of the heebie jeebies I guess.

The problem wasn’t necessarily people being horny because I didn’t see a lot of that, it’s the fact that people are just really loving obsessive about the tubers and just hunt for drama. In a thread that should be like funny clips or links to streams that aren’t fetish tier lists, we got epic speculation about rushia’s mental health instead.

I'll be honest and say that the "lol everyone who watches vtubers is a sex weirdo" stuff that was said in complete sincerity was really bad. There was people being weird about it and they were rightfully made fun of, but it veered into like a trueism that a lot of people on this site genuinely believed 100% and that was pretty bad.

Just overall not a good environment for a thread on the topic.
