its really amazing how the actions of mods are so freaking far beyond the pale that its actually impossible for a bystander to believe.

Nazi mods gently caress off

I think party plane jones deserves one of those lifetime achievement awards the mods were handing out for his excellent work defending the people of SA against threats abroad

It's gonna be a looong time before I ever understand how no one went "this thing we're doing is stupid, all of this is stupid, cmon now"

I feel like when I do, I will have unlocked some secret knowledge about how human beings function

So, where would this rank on the list of the forum's dumbest/weirdest drama?

You know what's weird, I'm actually more angry now that he got revealed and self perma'ed. What the gently caress are the other admins doing coming in here and probating everyone, deleting/moving threads, and closing without comment?

What the actual gently caress are you doing?

Grondoth posted:

This is fair

This is the dumbest goddamn thing I've ever seen and I don't understand how EVERYONE didn't go "what? no, don't do that" once he explained it to literally another person. A single other one. This is an obvious terrible idea that accomplishes nothing unless what you want to do is talk with racists while maintaining some deniability about chattin' up those racists.

ah man something just clicked with me

this is why they've been so stupidly cagey about adding new mods

they either had to perform extensive sweeps of their secret forum to keep this secret from new arrivals, or could only take on new mods they could trust to not immediately blab to the community about this insanely stupid plan

it's just stupid all the way down

this perspective makes sense if you thought this was about "winning" in the first place

it wasn't

lol Nichael specifically probating a Nazi made it clear that he wouldn't keep silent on this if ever modded and that's 100% why they took away his buttons

Cerebral Bore posted:

furthermore i'm also sure that the mod team, in their ineffable wisdom, will realize just how bad a look it is that they've been harassing and punishing people to cover the tracks of the keystone kop of nazi hunters and will seek to quickly open a constructive dialogue with the userbase

but then i remembered that cspam consists of a bunch of howling monkeys and it's useless to even try to talk to them. they might even call you a nazi for no reason

Mods knew.

i still have a hard time believing the story he and jeff and KM threw out. too much of it is just unnecessarily complicated, plus that sun tzu person putting another nail in the coffin

it seems far more likely that ppj was just posting in a nazi discord, someone else caught wise, and the whole fable spun up out of necessity to justify what ppj was doing

like he couldn't provide even one example of his "operation" successfully unmasking a nazi on our forums

Grymauch posted:

How does this stack up against the jack-booted catlady mod purge from the 2010s?

Schnorkles posted:

this is the wrong way to think about c-spam

c-spam is a welcoming place where you are encouraged to post and feel safe and comfortable and where we do our best to take care of each other. you are also encouraged to recognize that idiot kings are mad tyrants, or not, as it suits them.

we wish no heads on pikes.

just post really

Sheng-Ji Yang posted:

im not a mod anymore and dont really give a poo poo about Picking Sides on this drama, aside that its loving dumb and funny.

Schnorkles posted:

the fact that ppj was enough of a brain genius to post... whatever that was is enough evidence to demonstrate he needed to go i think

Admiral Ray posted:

real fuckin' impressive fact finding mission by master spy party plane jones.

"THose shitheads over there?" he motions to the framed picture on his mantle of four men giving the nazi salute. "they're real pieces of poo poo." he says, solemnly. "I should know, we hang out on tuesdays and play poker and watch porn"

The worst part of this whole ordeal is that I've been lying about being able to self-suck all these years

foobardog posted:

Remember how we were told PPJ was necessary to have the mod queue run on time? lol

TowerofOil posted:

All the posts about ppj making the mod queue run on time have so much more meaning now.

I like Jeff just yukking it up in GBS like he's not a central player in this drama lol

we needed a nazi spy to uncover the amgical secrets of a thread that was literally on the forums

their logo was literally

it's cool how every single event of the past month or so has shown that the mods are willing and able to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to make the absolutely stupidest decisions w/r/t everything
