May users have a personal thread in the rickshaw?

As for me and the GG thread, it's really much ado about nothing. I'm not going to go back to doing whatever triggered Khalid.

I gave the new board a grace period where I didn't disturb the shit at all. I agreed wholeheartedly with the community's desire for less moderation and greater freedom. I cheered when posters championed the efficiency of the "ignore" feature and how it would make reporting posts obsolete. I nodded approvingly when to-be mods were campaigning on non-intervention and a light touch.

Then, after the elections, I decided to see if everyone could put their money where their mouths were. I made the types of posts I knew would rustle many jimmies right in the GG thread and waited for the inevitable backlash.

What I hoped would happen: In this new era of light moderation and big-boy pants for everyone, people would accept that sometimes someone says shit you don't like to hear and, unless they're breaking any rules, you're just going to have to live with it.

What actually happened: Mod power abuse which was applauded by the very people who wanted light moderation. Excessive and unwarranted punishment, delivered arbitrarily and with no explanation... Just like on Rerolled.

So rest easy, people. Just like during the significant final stretch of Rerolled's history, I'm going to behave myself and restrict my more controversial points of view to the Rickshaw, where they will be kept safely out of the mainstream and be viewable only to masochists, cancer patients, the uncurably curious, and Hodj.

...At least until a_skeleton_03 blows a gasket because I'm enjoying the board too much and just blanket locks the entire Rickshaw.

Threads should be approved on a case by case basis. Most people are retarded and unfunny and they don't need a vanity thread shitting up the shaw.

New rule suggestion: If you call for somebody be banned 100 times, you get banned.

Screenshots are for important shit, like butts and titties.

Shitposting, petty bickering. Kinda like this thread.

So we should open it up for people to make threads there then?

So bickering or shit posting in screenshots should immediately be sent to the shaw?

No, the part of it that sucks is the same part that was complained about previously, which is that unless everyone ignores the person, and that person takes over a thread, then an entire thread is just responses to that poster.

A shitty poster still can destroy a thread.

No one person has the power to "take over a thread". Many people were engaging me directly in the GG thread. There was a back-and-forth. Challenges were made, rebuttals given. If a thread is "destroyed" by the posts of many people, then you can't blame the one person who everybody is actively choosing to continue to engage with.

Also, I guess you weren't listening: I'm back to "good boy" mode now. The GG thread is a safe space again. You keep ranting on and on about something that isn't a problem.
