Hi - I've been away, but now I'm back. The number of emails I have returned to about GBS turning into a steaming pile of garbage is disappointing. I will be handing out bans and probations as party favours for people who are violating forum rules and generally being terrible. If you think before you post, this will not happen.

Besides that, I'm happy to be here again! Give me updates and highlights of what I've missed!

I haven't noticed any major changes here lately, maybe the people who emailed you were dumbasses? Anyway, please ban anyone who says bad poo poo about Jews, because my best friend is a Jew. Also please have dare committed and arrange for his death in psychiatric prison, because he spams word salad and that's ten times more obnoxious than regular shitposting.

I won't post them, but let me detail to you, instead, about how one of our girls accidentally left a bowl with cheese in it out in the blistering sun, and then the rain for a week. And the bowl became full of water. And then we waited until she was back this week to ask her to clean it up. And when she did, the water inside smelled like trench foot and it spilled all over the deck and her feet. And then she came in the house and all of us were dry-heaving and screaming while she tried to make it upstairs to jump in the shower, and every place she stepped smelled like the cheese and had to be scrubbed.

yeah but when LA was here she banned the idiots instead of the funny people, so that's a pretty key difference.

Hi forums mom....the "issues" have been a weird combination of mostly Dare etc. re-reg's, but there have also been (a few) weirdly unjust bans....in my opinion anyway.

It's hard to be all things to all people I guess.....welcome back anyway!

the people who send you the emails are the ones you should be banning instead of listening to them and eroding the community even further.

I agree with everyone who says most of GBS's problems have been Dare reregs. However a lot of actually funny people have been banned recently too, which is worse.

DGSW trolling Dare resulted in the only funny thing related to Dare ever

Dare is kind of hilarious, but a big part of that is his getting banned and immediately reregging over and over again.

LA, serious question: Were you around when GBS was actually good? It turned into a steaming pile quite a while ago and it honestly seemed like the mods at the time pretty much allowed it to become FYAD lite in a real hurry for some unknown reason. In fact about that time was when it had a weird background suddenly (trout?) and for a short period, much like BYOB/FYAD do.

I am all for GBS becoming decent again, but the staff really gets the bulk of the blame for effectively tossing the reins up in the air and willingly allowing no holds barred for too long.

the "unknown reason" is because you guys gave thousands of dollars to a hot dog racist and turned a comedy forum into a place where improper punctuation was a bannable offense

I was wondering where that thread went.

I mean, LA, that very thread is case in point of how bad moderation is anymore. Not because of SWBM's OP, but the very fact that even that thread was unmoderated to the point where it landed in the gas chamber.
