The Lowtax cuckoldry thing that got the last thread sunk was actually posted by me. I had a bet on with a friend that I could torpedo the thread in a single confession, and I did. Won my bet, bought a case of Sunburst pilsner and Spartacus on Blu Ray. I've never met Lowtax, never even been to America, and have never had any dealings with the man beyond him getting a bit snippy with me on IRC about a decade ago.

So, sorry about that. Although in my defence, being such a thin-skinned wonk that you can be Literally Puppetmastered is sorrier.

It was v funny that the guy running a jokes forum based on his website full of internet pranks lost it and destroyed a thread because of a fake cuckfession. That old anon thread was kind of lovely and full of weiners anonymously confessing mod sass too, there were plenty of less embarrassing excuses to gas it

I think all it would take is at least a light filter on obvious trolling and fake stuff or things like "shut the gently caress up nooner" but for whatever reason he semi-insisted on posting everything he got until he got the probation.

yeah im not saying it's not an absurd overreaction, just that the main thing that seemed to make the mods mad (i.e. it was an active thread) could have at least been lessened a little with very little effort and would have made the fakers have to put in a little more effort.

I guess this is my biggest problem about the whole situation. Good modding involves working with the community to develop rules and guidelines that everyone can play by and still have fun, SA mods seem really reactionary in that they mostly just respond to reports and occasionally boot really bad offenders. It leaves the actual posting etiquette super murky and that is, in turn, gonna stifle a lot of comedy and creativity from people who'd just rather not deal with infractions outta left field.

the best thing for the forums is to have a daily-rotating Peewee's style secret word but instead it's a secret concept that if you joke about it, confetti falls from the ceiling and you eat a ban

All the mods really need to do is have a bit of transparency. Is that too much to ask for? Just tell us why you did something and why.

I liked that thread so much more than the niceguys.txt thread or the reddit/relationships thread. Those threads quickly got flooded with weirdo narcissist goons who had to keep insisting they weren't like the people they were making fun of, and had to constantly ask why these creeps couldn't be functioning normal humans like them. Their obliviousness was off the charts. At least with the Anonymous Confessions thread, there wasn't any of that, it was goons reveling in how goony we are. Self-realization and being able to laugh at yourself beats teenage-level reddit replies any day of the week. Plus there was some solid advise for guys going through real poo poo.
I posted a bunch in the relationships thread just because the posts were funny, entertaining, or interesting. I used to read old e/n too and r/relationships is that cranked up to 11. I definitely didn't see myself as better than them. I could post at least 3-4 r/relationships tier stories about myself, but those are in the past and I've hopefully learned from them.

Maybe you're misinterpreting the mindset of the people posted in the thread, or maybe I am misinterpreting the mindset of others who posted in the thread.

The problem with good threads is that ppl from the Very Serious subforms will read them and get upset buy words then make reports.

This is why I exclusively post in bad threads, like this one.
