Alright we tried to have a thread solely focused on more in depth discussion but some jackass disrupted the thread caused problems and then it turned into people calling each other names. This was not the idea I had in mind for the thread when it was created. So if people want a more hands off approach instead instead we'll try that. I'm going to relax the posting guidelines but the few rules that are in place will be dealt with in a stricter manner. There are only three rules to this thread. Breaking any of these rules results in your account being banned. There will be no probations handed out in this thread, other than six hour probations to shut people up until a ban is approved. Other than that you are free to post however you like in this thread. Do not report any posts in this thread unless you believe they are breaking one of these rules. 1. Harassment or intolerance of any kind is unacceptable. If you are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or just a garden variety piece of poo poo you will be banned. If you complain about too many women in comics or diversity in comics you will be banned. If you support ComicsGate and actually are stupid enough to say so you will be banned. If one of those people disrupt the thread you're free to treat them in a manner a bigot is deserving. 2. If you post in this thread to argue in bad faith or play devil's advocate you will banned. If you post to antagonize or play games you will be banned. 3. No NSFW posts/material. Even in spoiler tags. Especially in spoiler tags. If you do you will be banned. If you are banned for Rules 2 or 3 in this thread you not only forfeit your account you also forfeit your rights to post in this thread again if you pay to unban yourself and will be banned again if you post in this thread. If you are banned for Rule 1 in this thread you forfeit your right to post in BSS in any thread and will be banned any time you make a post in this forum. If someone is reported for breaking one of the rules above it will be dealt with as soon as possible. Bans are not immediate. I will give a six hour probation to shut them up when I see the report and submit the ban but if the ban is not approved in six hours that means they might keep posting in this thread. Other than that you are free to engage with each other in whatever manner you wish. So do not report someone that simply disagrees with you unless they fall into one of the categories above. Do not report anyone that argues with you unless they fall into one of the categories above. If you don't like what they're saying then say something back to them. The gloves are off now. EDIT: Since apparently it needs double double clarification if some bigot comes into the thread to cause issues you are free to respond in any way you wish.

That was the last thread. This thread is not that thread. The report button is so I can ban anyone behaving like that. After you hit that button you can use the reply button to do so in whatever manner you like.

Are you going to ban people for perceived harassment against nazis and other assorted bigots? The post above literally says you can reply however you like. I'm not sure it can be made any clearer.

Well 420 Gank Mid and I spoke via PM hours ago and I added clarification in the exact terms they suggested to the first rule but since you apparently need even more than that I've added it again to the bottom of the post.

Guggenheim has TV money. Lots of it. So I'm not surprised at that amount. Most comic creators are not lucky enough to have that kind of money to throw around.

When someone is banned and probated they keep the probation avatar until the probation is over, then the banned avatar shows up. There's no way to know until then if they bought an account again or not. But if he posts again I imagine the outcome would be identical for him.

Captain Rufus posted:Maher hates a lot of harmless stupid poo poo for idiotic reasons. And it seems things not aimed directly at adults being enjoyed by adults are one of his big rage ons. Like he seems legit mad at adults reading YA type books or anything online as its not REAL READING. Also he hates the current superhero movie trend because OMG CHILDISH. Also rages about milk but loves his weed not exactly seeing the hypocrisy there. There's not a  big enough to adequately reply to this.

Even the smallest of Stan Lee’s creations will be remembered decades even after I die. Nobody will give a poo poo about anything Maher has ever done years before he’s gone. If they even care now.

Bill Maher is an anti-vaxxer who talks about getting high all the time yet he says it's comic books that make people dumb. I mean even if you didn't know about his rampant racism, xenophobia, and other other numerous lovely beliefs those two things right there should be enough to disqualify him on being able to say "X is the thing that makes people dumb" or even start that conversation.

I have more of a problem with people asking for money to subscribe to an Instructional Video site than I do with someone having a video on the site. I mean get your priorities in order. People shouldn’t setup a GoFundMe for every expense on things they want. There’s no necessity there. There are people in bad shape using GoFundMe for legit reasons. Wanting to watch a Neil Gaiman video series ain’t it.

I'm not sure who Peter Simeti is or what he did to get on some people's bad side but even if he's a poo poo head you don't SWAT someone. That kinda poo poo has gotten someone killed before. If he's a poo poo bag then call him out on this poo poo he does and make him suffer that way. Don't endanger his life like that.

Yeah he sounds like a douche alright, but whoever decided it would be a fun prank to SWAT him is an even bigger rear end in a top hat. That is of course if it even happened at all like you said.

Being skeptical of someone like that doesn't make you an rear end in a top hat. But it's also good for other people like Cates to put it out there that if something like that did happen it's not ok.

They're threatening his life because they ship Eddie and the Symbiote (they call it SymBrock instead of, well you know Venom, because they're crazy) and the Symbiote was just revealed to be manipulating Eddie into staying with him by doing some really terrible stuff.

I don't even know if they existed then. I don't follow crazy shippers of any kind. For all I know they could be byproducts of the movie. All I know is that the Donny Cates Venom book is real good and is the first time I've ever really liked Venom outside of Flash.
