It was a snide and snippy post even if it wasnt meant to be mocking someone getting a death threat which given their previous snide/snippy post about horny posting getting them a probation they should have already known this wasnt the place for that stuff.

"is there an update on this?" There I managed to achieve the same thing Seth wanted to without getting probated. I know there's frustration about the moderation in here (I've been a critic about not doing enough multiple times in these threads), but coming in trying to dunk on them is gonna achieve gently caress all. My goal is for mods to actually use their buttons and handle repeatedly problem posters, that ain't gonna be best achieved by open warfare

Yes, Seth Rollins' probation was due to him trying to use the thread to be a dick. It was about a particularly bad and serious topic and warranted a stiffer probation length than a day which, as noted, is the longest probation that can be automatically given by a moderator before an admin needs to approve it.

Can I get your thoughts on if the posts here created an environment that enabled someone to send a death threat they otherwise wouldn’t have?

I do not for a single second believe that anybody's posting here justified or caused anybody to send a death threat. Whoever did that has absolutely zero excuse to have done so, no reason can justify them doing it, and the fact that at no point through the process did they stop and think,"Maybe what I am doing here is a stupid, gross and disgusting thing to do" is a pure indictment on them and nobody else. This is a forum for posting about wrestling, MMA, grappling, sumo etc. We come here to watch it, talk about it, shoot the poo poo and have some fun. That anybody could think anything said or done here justifies tracking down somebody's offsite details and sending them a threatening message is beyond pathetic and is utterly inexcusable. It's not an environment or a situation or a tale with two sides, it's one person being a gigantic piece of poo poo.

JOHN CENA posted:im thinking it was probably The Other Forum on here that he frequents that by coincidence seems to have to regularly ban users for posting death threats Let's not start speculating about whether it was people in other subforums who did it, that's outside the scope of this thread and this sub and is pure guesswork since none of us were directly involved. CJ2 believes it was most likely somebody from here as this was where they said they were experiencing hostility from before the message came through to them, and I don't see any value in instead trying to post about why other subs might have done it instead. If it was nobody from here who did it, then that's great. If it was, they know who they were and I can only hope they feel even the slightest level of remorse or regret for doing it.

Hopefully we can make actual progress without it just being 'say something lovely and get a sixer' time for people already frustrated. Not that I don't understand both sides, but lets meet in the middle and get some real poo poo done. Breaking the cycle of 'we're listening, tell us how to fix it' and 'doesn't matter, nothing is going to change' has to start somewhere and maybe we're well on our way.

Even outside of all that drama, people were begging Lowtax to fix the search function for almost as long as I've been here he kept saying "Can't be done!" Within a couple hours of Jeffery being owner, search function is fixed lmao

RealFoxy posted:Even outside of all that drama, people were begging Lowtax to fix the search function for almost as long as I've been here he kept saying "Can't be done!" It was fixed multiple times but then various issues would make it break. I don't really blame Lowtax, a guy I doubt who is very good at coding, to not know how to fix it.

Even discounting everything else Lowtax was a lovely absentee landlord who clearly stopped seeing SA as anything besides a cash cow a long-rear end time ago, so it's entirely plausible that he'd just not give a poo poo about fixing anything broken.

A lot of the technical stuff happening now is down to astral being given the ability to look under the hood. I don't understand most of the magic they do, but that little search bar is a Godsend and I deeply appreciate how much interest they take in working on the site's various idiosyncrasies.

Congrats to the current mod team who will never again have to deal with Tax disappearing for years at a time. Only for him to then show up again - claim he wants changes - demod random people - make some rando he hired for his Missouri office an admin - and then disappear again.

 In the thread where he came back to post after promising he would never come back to post until SA collectively apologized for hurting his feelings, I invited Lowtax to meet me in a truck stop halfway between our houses and suck on my rear end with a crazy straw. He shortly thereafter PMed me actually wanting to meet up. Richard The Dick Formerly Known As Lowtax Kyanka legitimately wanted to meet me in a Missouri I-70 truck stop to suck on my rear end hole and/or cheeks through a silly straw, probably for sexual gratification. Now that the sale is finalized I feel like I can share this without causing problems somehow. It feels good to get this off my chest and share with others in case they too went through this, so know you are not alone. We are safe now and we are strong

Hey you know how there's a vbulletin link at the bottom of each page? Did you know it actually links through to a changelog of recent forum upgrades/changes that astral and/or Jeffrey have been making? Because I didn't! Really handy way to keep track of a lot of the great stuff that they've been working on, including the ability to ignore PMs from users which is an option people have been asking about for years.

Alright, the news of Lowtax's sale was significant enough to post about in here, but this isn't a thread to talk poo poo about other admins/wider forums crap. This thread is back to only on-topic discussion of FIGHT ISLAND rules/moderation.

I know that I've said this before, and I think it counts as forum specific content, but when people make posts like that can they please just say who/what it is that they're talking about? It is very useful to those who aren't that interested in forum politics but also want to steer clear of kiddie diddlers or whatever.
