Do we have a wreath fund for the DT Ukraine thread? We might want to pass the hat if not.

If there was only a CR thread to discuss it.

Just took a look and it seems all pretty on topic? Granted there is heavy historical comparison going on, but bruh. There's more than just videos of ivans getting liquidated to the conflict. Our nations abrupt heel turn factors significantly into how much soil Ukraine is ultimately going to cede to the aggressive invaders.

It comes and goes. a few of the usual suspects. But yeah, that core group keeps it level on the news.

I think a lot of that was hitting the three year anniversary earlier this week combined with some changes in aid.  

That thread is an amazing time capsule for how events played out in Feb/March of 2022.  We went from Russias rolling into Ukraine in their BTRs and BMPs in February of 2022 to *checks notes* rolling in on golf carts and using fucking donkeys to move supplies.

I got to where I stopped posting that stuff after having posted a lot of it unless it’s entertaining, because it’s way too desensitizing.  I thought shitty VHS copies of Faces and Traces of Death was bad as a young lad.

A few days ago, I was talking to some parents of one of my kid’s classmates, and mentioned that the apartment complex they are in trends towards older residents.  They said once a year or so somebody leaves in a body bag, with the wife joking “yeah it’s full of old people” and all three of us chuckled.

We may need a wreath fund for Ukraine at this point, if Dear Leader decides they're ripe for plundering for mineral rights

Look man, it’s your board so knock yourself out. But if you keep up this Katy at the end of hornfans days shit I’m not going to be the only one cancelling my sub. I even prefaced my criticism by saying moderating is a thankless task and I usually don’t begrudge you for making mod decisions I disagree with, but this is a new low. If you want surly to grow, literally recreating why we all left hornfans isn’t going to help.

You really just don't get it and that's honestly the entire problem. 

Why don't you think long and hard why your posts got deleted, why this one didn't.

I deleted a bunch of stuff after I locked the thread because it was stupid and not funny and not a real gripe and nothing was broken.

I locked the thread to prove a point of how pointless the conversation that was happening in that thread was. There was nothing of substance posted in that thread or the new thread after and miraculously after I unlocked it people started posting about what was going on instead of bitching about how I'm protecting the maga posters and everything in DT should be politics because you wanna say mean shit to people you disagree with instead of just moving on with your life and you know actually posting about the topic of the thread which is much much larger than your stupid beef with a bunch of maga morons. 

A bunch of accusations thrown my way for coddling maga and treating them better etc. I cannot tell you how many times I've said being an idiot isn't against the rules.  

Your gripe right now isn't a real gripe, you cancel your sub and act like you give a single fuck about this place, but all you are doing is making this about you, the entire time you are just screaming for attention, we get it you are mad, you are sad, whatever. 

I'm sick and tired of this shit. Do you know how fucking disgusting it is to own a message board where anytime something major happens it not only personally affects me but it ruins my fucking day and most likely week because of people like you who I constantly have to babysit and moderate? You don't think about any of that shit, you just spew a bunch of toxic nonsense. 

But sure, yeah I'm a fascist, I'm a thin skinned bitch because you have no fucking idea what I'm going through or what my situation is. You just think it's cool to talk shit on the internet to make yourself feel better.

I'm literally getting better news updates from the CR thread. DT is great if you want more updates from Facebook posts and Mystic text chains. The transcripts and meeting minutes? The fact that the State of Texas had just validated their emergency planning two days prior?

It's not that they're being an idiot, it's that they're politicizing the tragedy by refusing to look at the fucking causes for hundreds of people getting killed in the most flood prone valley in America. You're setting the Overton window at the point where asking "why our government approved a plan that gave zero warning to a camp full of children" is """PoLiTiCaL""".

For real?

Dude, just stop, seriously. You are allowed to like the CR thread better I'm happy thats what you like. The DT thread is what other people like. You don't have to like or participate in both or either. 

That's the fucking point. The point is there is no rule restricting conversation. Your job isn't to fuck up the DT thread because you disagree with what it is, you have a fucking place to post and read stuff you align with or are fine reading because it's politically charged. 

Get the fuck over it and stop fucking with the rest of the board.

I am genuinely sorry to hear things here bleed negatively into your personal life. It’s a persistent, passionate group of habitual line-steppers you interact with who you may not otherwise. Regulating that is fraught, and possibly not worth the exorbitant profits.

It must be weird to be thrust into a quasi-journalist role of editing content. I’m not sure what you got into this for but it probably wasn’t that.

I appreciate that, but my honest question is how could an avid user of this site not know that it is like that? (Not saying you specifically)

The crazy thing is some of you think I make any money off the site. 

Its one thing for some lurker to say some stupid shit, its a whole different thing for someone who knows better to be doing stupid shit and just being oblivious to what it is doing to the community and the people running it.

You're setting a standard here that objective facts like meeting minutes that explicitly say WHY a critical warning was not delivered and reporting from the Associated Press is verboten outside of the Cloak Room?

I don't disagree with a news thread being a news thread, but I don't see how what I'm posting there is anything but news. Yeah, it's pretty much all shitty news. Don't shoot the messenger.

You're working your agenda constantly.  Hell, you tried to stir shit up politically in the Andor thread.  People ignored it, but the effort was there.

This is not true. I think some of you live in a weird internet bubble and read force fed news or are getting curated nonsense that is driving you to think everything is political. 

Are things super fucked up right now? Moreso than 2001? Moreso than 2008? Moreso than 2020? Moreso than 2016? 

Just because some of you are more interested in politics and let it have a deep impact in your personal life doesn't mean a bunch if people who come go this site for FOOTBALL RECRUITING NEWS, and maybe a little bit of a funny take on current events or a crowd sourced news thread that goes further and more diverse than any machine learning based solution would pump to you. 

That's the magic here for 90%+ of posters. Then there are 10% of posters who legitimately cannot divorce themselves from politics in any facet of anything. Stay in the fucking cloak room, no one asked you to stop posting there. People repeatedly ask, and the rules have been the same since the inception of this community that politics stays off the rest of the board.

Not since the PC when I split the thread. I believe some posts that were overtly political got the axe from Blacklab and that was accompanied by a timeout.

And dude. You kidding me? It was more having a laugh at how pitch perfect the critique is and how good Lucas' vision was 50 years ago. You do know that Star Wars ('77) was modeled after the Vietnam War, right? The rebels were modeled after the VC, and America was the Empire. George Lucas himself said Star Wars is supposed to be anti-colonial

https://screenrant.com/star-wars-george-lucas-vietnam-war-inspiration-explainer/

That's pretty explicit and direct from the creator.

Edit:

Well, I'm not sure why you're taking slorch's word for my posts in the Andor thread. He's characterizing me as some zealot in the thread (and I'm pretty sure he just plain doesn't like me). I'm not. I'm contributing to the discussion and talking about the show and what's on screen.  Go read it for yourself since you have such a strong opinion.

Man, do you truly not get why people would be annoyed or upset by the “take it to CR!” then locking the CR thread move? To teach the people who are already keeping what you’ve deemed to be CR discussion there a lesson? What lesson, exactly? And what recruiting traffic are we running off in the CR thread?

I know you don’t think I care about this place and I’m clearly not going to convince you otherwise. But this place, all its assholes aside, has been a shockingly enduring community for a very long damned time now, full of people who care more than any of us would generally like to admit and has genuinely been capable of doing good in the world. I don’t want to see that fucked with because running the site is eating at you.

I wish I had a solution or some help to offer, but all I’ve got as a normal user who was happy to contribute my tree fiddy for the last five years is this ain’t it man. Just nuking dozens of posts that happen to rub you the wrong way is in no way conducive to maintaining a healthy online community.

Have you ever thought that some people just watch it to see cool star wars shit?

Y'all need to chill out.
 

Snowflakes aren’t going to listen or change (DT MAGA). So it doesn’t matter.
 

Furthermore, when “we” briskettexan a DT thread it does detract. Yeah, the state passing mystic’s license a week ago, Kerr county/kerrville minutes and more are absolutely fucking damning news and they get very little traction in DT - so what? Yelling at dumbfucks isn’t going to remove their moral cataracts. The reality is “they” politicize everything and then “we” rail on them for it and everyone is miserable. There’s no need for it.

I’ll also say there are threads on DT that are safe havens for liberals, there’s a fair amount of DJT criticism on the Ukraine thread, the Elon thread is scathing at times, LA thread, Covid thread and others. 

so anyway, fuck the snowflakes and their feelings but cut imma some slack and you want to go full briskettexan do it in the CR it’s a fair ask.

The solution is to quit when shit is like this instead of being a dick and doing more. The solution is to follow the rules when moderators come in and a thread is clearly super off the rails and needs to be intervened with.

Stop acting like I'm a regular poster and things are my opinion when it comes to running the board. 

You have an opinion, I have a responsibility to moderate the site. No one, not a single time in the mod team has said any discussion is off limits, just that it needed to be in the appropriate place, we don't control the message, we don't shape threads, we don't edit posts to say different things. 

What ain't it is acting like this happens all the time for everything. What I am doing is saying to knock it off repeatedly and a handful of posters just can't fucking help themselves.

What ain't it is posting over and over in a thread after you have your post deleted because it was clearly way out of line, and way off topic.

What ain't it is being so toxic that you had to come in here and put out how terrible you think I run the site and that you canceled your sub. 

Posted

The other thing I’m going to say and this is political but fuck guys and gals we can’t be partisan on this, a special session is being called for other stupid reasons but the public welfare and flash flood warning systems will take all the air, we absolutely need these fucking assholes to make real change. The good news is their people died so we have a legit shot at real, good, and lasting change. Let’s get on board and see to it that it happens.

I moved to Fluid view last year (thanks for the rec) so I could remove from view the CR and DT and I only move into view when big things are happening and it has improved my mood and BP immensely. Ask my wife, I’m a much more pleasant person to be around. Are things more fucked up? Possibly. Are we more divided now because of the internet? Absofuckinglutely. 

Your point about people coming here for recruiting news is valid. My point about you spending 99% of your time trying to avoid pissfights between left and right (DT and CR) could be solved by shelving everything into a single forum. I’m on lots of other forums that are similar in they exist for a single topic, but they keep anything news/politics to a single forum, and nothing bleeds. Fence the left and right in to a single playground. As it stands, you have divided the board left vs right into two separate boards. 

I agree, that a lot spills out of DT. But at the same time, the folks that complain you handle the DT posters differently because they only post in DT can also be correct (and when I say you, I don’t only mean you, its all the mods). This could all be solved by merging the forums. 

Contain the shit to a single forum. Nuke everything outside that forum.

I understand the suggestion, I just don't think it'll work here. Thunderdome works some places, but I think this one it would just be about the loudest and most active people and it would actually kill threads. DT threads aren't supposed to be a bunch of people arguing and huge engagement. It's supposed to be current events, news, shit that happened that isn't for lulz that people can make fun of or keep people in the know as a sort of human led aggregator vs AI slop feeder.

There's a minority of posters that want to inject themselves and their opinions everywhere, that can't happen on a board like 9.95 or football because mods and cultural rules and how many other posters there are that will self police. In DT it's a smaller number of regular users that wouldn't be able to self police, and obviously can't, when things go off the rails mods have to be a lot heavier handed than the other way higher population and trafficked boards.

There's a minority of posters that want to inject themselves and their opinions everywhere, that can't happen on a board like 9.95 or football because mods and cultural rules and how many other posters there are that will self police. In DT it's a smaller number of regular users that wouldn't be able to self police, and obviously can't, when things go off the rails mods have to be a lot heavier handed than the other way higher population and trafficked boards. 

Fair enough. I disagree, but its your board.

The other option, is to have a news board that requires approval for posts. I think that is more effort than what I suggested for the mod team.

I can see the merits, but when we have gone mod light in DT it has been overall bad. It's hard to do a full trial run.

You’re quick to give that guy a week off while the poster that gave you a “heart” for it is the same donkey cigars, turkey chew, whatever that helps drive these fights. 

Is vegas64 a permabanned reincarnate? I haven't had anyone call it out and I don't really remember any if his posts/history. I'll permaban him again.

I don’t think I’m the only one that has noticed it and called it out.
