Trying to police peoples language for not looking in a thread and clicking everyones profile and taking a tally of the genders first seems like a bad move, imo.

To be clear that’s not what I’m discussing. Using gender neutral language doesn’t care what genders anyone is.

I can only speak for America but "guys" has been neutrally used when speaking generally basically my whole life. And as someone who works with kids, they still do even now so it's not some boomer thing.

What possible benefit would there be to moving the industry thread to byob other than making it another terrible deranged chat thread.

In any case, no the Industry thread does not need a dedicated IK. It needs the current moderation team to back up what we've said in here about wanting to moderate it more strongly and actually follow through.

Mods have BYOB brain I'm afraid.

It's possible to be critical about the glitches and bad performance in a game without getting all XBOX loving SUCKS mockthread tier about it. worms butthole guy clearly failed at that.

I just don't get it, it's not like the old trolling of spamming table breaking gigantic images or whatever. if for some reason I didn't find it funny I would simply scroll past the post since it's not fanning any flames or causing derails lol

why does that old trolling style make a difference, they didn't really ban those people either


I remember someone going throughout multiple threads posting table breaking stuff that made the threads unreadable, they were banned for all of 3 days before the constant "nooooo you dont get it they did it because they care about the forums and thought the threads were fail" excuse somehow got the ban rescinded


Arf is nowhere near that so anything more than a slap on the wrist for this stuff is weird but I also laugh everytime I hear someone bring up the table breaking stuff. Whine enough and the admins/mods cave eventually

I brought it up cuz I can understand being annoyed that scrolling thru a thread becomes hard because of a gigantic image of the dancing baby or whatever. I can't understand getting mad over "I will not watch the run" posts. It's no different or wasted space than people going "holy poo poo!!!" cuz they saw something cool on the run or whatever

Ibram Gaunt

Is "Sounds cool, not going to watch it though" truly any more of a waste of space than the million other white noise chaff posts that the thread gets.

I think the real disconnect here isn't that some people find him annoying or don't like the gimmick but that they are generating SO many reports for something so harmless which is bizarre.

I never really noticed anything wrong with this forum tbh. What's changed

For a very long time, Games used to be a joyless place where only a few sanctuary threads allowed Jokes, or more importantly, enjoyment of the game in question. There are still some holdout threads of this terrible era but for the most part people seem to enjoy Gaming now.

Pokemon ScarVio kicked rear end - and the DLC is going to be even more sick. The DLC for SW/SH turned it from a 7/10 game to a 9/10 game for me so I can only imagine what this will do for an already great title.
