Welcome to the new Rerolled! We've got a light-handed touch to moderation! We're all adults here and can handle hurty words. Oh, also: If you make off-topic posts (which already is not against the rules) in the fucking RETARD RICKSHAW (the no-man's land where anything goes), then you will not receive a warning like you would for breaking any other rule, you will be instantly RRPed (or, if you're already RRPed, your sentence will be extended).

How is this not blatant over-moderation? Do you not understand how the previous Rerolled environment directly contributed to you becoming a mod here? Why are you trying to out-do the over-moderation everyone hated there?



Why the fuck are you deciding what the point of the Rickshaw is? It's always been the toilet of the board. There has always, always been little to no moderation in the Rickshaw, specifically because posting in there at all has been considered somewhat shameful when everything that matters happens on the surface among the normies.

Now, because I happen to be OK with expressing myself in the sewer, because I don't give a shit if I'm not allowed to speak my mind among the surface-dwellers, you've decided that I have it too good. You've decided to micromanage no-man's-land simply because it bothers you that I have any say at all. You've made it your goal not to make sure the board is running smoothly, but to make sure that my personal experience is as miserable as possible. That is, by a wide margin, the pettiest action I've ever seen. Bravo.



Let's see, recently you've incorrectly claimed that I was making DEMANDS (when all I did was ask questions or express an opinion) and now you're claiming that I'm not ALLOWING you to touch specific rickshawed threads despite my having no power to even suggest, let alone enforce, such restrictions.

Why do you consider me so threatening?




Again: Why are you taking it upon yourself to decide what the Rickshaw is for? This is not only moderating after you said you didn't want to moderate, but it's literally OVER-moderating! You're taxing the homeless here, bro. It's getting ridiculous.



Are there? Are there really? Perhaps you missed this post:

...Where I was threatened with excessive punishment for merely posting here. I wonder if all the other off-topic posters here (which, since my first post here, has been ALL OF THEM) are going to get instant RRPs! Somehow I doubt it.



Finally: P Picasso3 is a cool dude. How's that plumbing project coming along, Picasso? Were you able to fit the ferncos in? Are the pipes still too close to the wall?
I didn't read this post but I feel like it probably deserves an infraction.

If you guys are going to be so arbitrary and have specific behavior for Tanoomba and no one else and especially don't want him to have any place to post the kind of stuff he enjoys posting (really, hands on moderation in the Rickshaw, to the point of threatening warnings for off topic posts?), you might as well just stop dicking around and ban him. It's not like the previous board or this board is truly some glorious land of "free expression" anyway.

It's cool though that a number of people here who were so self-righteous about the power of this board's new ignore and hated on any type of restricted spaces like the grown-up forum or SFW forums just can't help but forget about all that in the dislike of this one poster. Just fucking ban him and stop pretending.

Do yourself a favor and don't believe Tanoomba's shitfest whining here.

It wasn't arbitrary and it wasn't specific to Tanoomba. If any other poster did the same shit that he has done, that person will receive the same treatment.

My thread is more of a honeypot to keep me from whining so much about my shitty life in other threads.

Yeah, keeping Mist and Tanoomba relatively self-segregated seems like an ideal solution to the problem of many people being annoyed by them. Clearly some people do have an interest in these threads since they were far from dead. Moving their threads so they can't post seems like a pointless thing because now they'll post in other threads and there was nothing in the threads worth ever reading again, so it doesn't belong in the Hall. And anyone bitching about content in the Rickshaw should probably get a warning, anyway.

The Rickshaw has always been a shithole so saying people can't shitpost to their heart's content here is mind-bottling and speaks of heavy bias instead of objective moderation. Not surprising, though.

For the record, @a_skeleton_03 moved those threads without consulting the other moderators. I wouldn't have moved them and don't think they belong in the HoS because they are garbage threads but it's his prerogative to put them wherever he wants.

Letting Tanoomba continue his antics that he's been getting away with for years at the old site is punishing this community harshly and unfairly.

Get over it.
Are you retarded? I haven't been "getting away with" anything. Ever since your abuse of mod power, my behavior has changed dramatically and I restricted my controversial posting to the rickshaw. FFS, you were a key player in this, how can you not remember?

I had to test the boundaries here to see if we were the bastion of freedom and light moderation we claimed to be. It turns out we're not, so I'm back to "play nice" mode. You, apparently, just aren't happy unless you get to bitch and whine about me incessantly, forever and ever, like a petulant child who loves the sound of his own tantrums.

Grow the fuck up, dude. Holy shit.

Okay so this "operate differently" is a figment of your imagination. It had always been for the longest time a place where threads were put to die and for people that are punished to have to stay only there. Nobody was posting in there for fun and nobody was made threads in there for personal playgrounds.

Only recently either Tuco or Draegan decided to allow or turn a blind eye to people getting personal threads in there over on rerolled. This was never its intent and I find it absurd. What's the point of rickshawing the very people that prefer to have a safe space in there?

Mist has not been prevented from shitting up any threads, she still shits them up but she also has a hangout for her to shit up as well without any consequences because it doesn't bother people in there.

Tanoomba the same way, it has prevented nothing.

The safe space aspect is that it's their special thread that nobody will delete or move or infract in. Sure people might attack them but they are 'safe' from the moderators there because nobody dares infract in the rickshaw. It's ridiculous.

If this happened 6 months from now you would have a leg to stand on. This is the START though and I am putting the finishing touches on how we will start come September 1st. If the moderators change that in the future then you take it up with them. In the meantime I am setting a precedent that if you have something to say you don't pussy out in the rickshaw, you actually use the rest of the forum. If everyone hates you so much that your every post is being reported the moderators will do what they do.

If you are a poster that only posts in the rickshaw you don't need to be part of this community and you are admitting that for all to see.

This is asinine. Nobody, not a single person on this board except you, had a problem with the Rickshaw being an unmoderated shithole. The unspoken understanding was that if you were posting in there at all, you had already lost. Heck, even Hodj saw it as a place where you can "throw peanuts at the monkeys".

Now, you've noticed that a couple of posters have built up a heavy enough tolerance for ridicule to put up with the stigma of posting in the Rickshaw, and for whatever reason you find this personally offensive. "How dare they derive some form of pleasure from this board in a way that doesn't involve getting the social approval of others! This must be stopped!" The fact that Mist and I kept certain posts to the Rickshaw benefited everyone, as has been pointed out. The sanctity of the public safe spaces was maintained, and we were very, very easily ignored by people who didn't go out of their way to climb down into the sewer and engage us.

You went from "I don't want to moderate at all" to "I'm totally going to over-moderate and try to fix things that aren't broken"... And it's not even for the betterment of the board, which, again, benefited from our arrangement. It just really, really bothers you that Mist and I can continue to have fun here even after being socially shunned, and you think you need to "fix" that. I legit have never seen anything so petty.

HAHAHAHAHA Jesus Christ.

"Teacher! Teacher! You told Tanoomba to stand in the corner but he's looking out the window!"

Hodj, you are the very definition of pathetic.
