There's minorities threads in E/N that handle that poo poo way better than we did and DnD probably could, though you'd probably get laughed out for trying to talk about problematic videogames in there.

That's astounding. I'd expect though that any problematic videogame talk would be replied with the time-honored tradition of "Have you tried weed?"

Uh, I don't think that's exactly it. If I remember D&D went, "lol, nope" and kicked it to E/N because nobody really wanted to deal with that mess.

Hello Commandos
Minorities by definition are a smaller group of people than us so we should just kick the ever living poo poo out of them over and over again until they comply

Oh and that Minorities thread was an absolute loving atrocity. I know there were ideas floating around to discuss how a character has a really skimpy skirt is problematic or whatever to DnD, but why'd a thread never pop up there?

Because just saying "x is problematic" is not really that interesting, because it's usually self evident (which means only idiots and trolls will disagree with you).

The endpoint of that sort of thread is also the conclusion that most people outside of Games reach: video games are dumb and immature.

Awesome!

2) Probations/Bans are way down! In the month of June, 13 dudes got a probation or a ban.

Holy poo poo man, congratulations mod team. Game fans are shitheads so this is quite the achievement, props to you. You're probably right about this:

Kewpuh posted:

Oh dont get me wrong, a lot of people still act like shitheads, but I honestly feel that its better for them to either get ignored or trolled back than for a mod to step in over something that is almost always harmless and easily ignored.

But a lot of it is just about setting the right kind of culture. If six dozen posters freaked out every time someone made a bad post, this "live and let live" mentality wouldn't work. But for whatever reason, it seems like that's not happening. Like I think you've mentioned, it's probably because of the example the mods set for everyone to follow.

Well probations and bans are way down because, as far as I can tell, you can post basically however you see fit. You could post in a nuGBS way constantly if you wanted and make a bunch of white noise and I expect you would not be punished for it. Someday people will figure this out to the detriment of this subforum.

Othwerwise wow! Games is still a pleasant place to read and post and I'm glad a little of the starch is gone.

all of your posts are whitenoise including this one
