I truly wish I could put this as a feather in my hat and say it's my finest most subtle troll effort in history, I am impressed at the mobilization.
I feel ultimately however, that you guys may have just been waiting for an opportunity to use the phrase "The Black Hand" and go full genocide on the Rickshaw-as cool as my ever so slight impact on the Rickshaw Holocaust has been...but I am kind of fond of the Rickshaw.
Let's clarify something here:
A, B, & C
A. Ireallyshould not be considered thevoYceof reason when it comes to most things here. Remember, my solution to Gryeyes was to troll him until one of us was banned...incidentally it kind of worked out. I at one point impersonated analreadyfictional doctor for several weeks on Yahoo Answers and told a 15 year old kid that his heart was replaced with a Baboon's hence BO - Baboon Oder. To encourage the exodus to Morenetz I started shitting up FOH with pointless threads until I posted a giant resolution picture of a DICK that got me banned. That said, the pedophila shit I can't accept, and I feel it shouldn't have to be purged because it shouldn't be cultivating in the way it seems to be here in the first place, and I'll get back to that in a minute.
B. I don't give a shit about trolling, flaming, baiting, racism, and personal attacks over the internet. I've made jokes at other people's expense and I've been a dick to people on the forums simply to get a reaction I am not a saint--and I don't feel bad about doing it either. I grew up with the internet, they're just words you suck and have a fragile ego if you can't deal with them. American Inventor is just a word, it might be used with hateful intent but I believe the more it gets used with abandon especially in the context of non-blacks calling other non-blacks, the more power the word loses. I don't care whether there is some Mod Versus Troll war going on in these forums or whatever pretend psuedo power struggle that doesn't actually exist, goes on here (unless Draegan makes his wife a mod).
C. I don't care about GIFS or memes related to Herbert the Pervert, I don't care about Pedobear photo shopped into a photo of kids running in random directions. I understand that these are abstractions aimed at keying out a a taboo subject and making it a joke, it's the same vein as dead baby jokes. I don't care.
Now for the point: There is no joke in posting a picture of a 6 year old child and saying "can't wait until she get's into porn", it's not meant as a joke, it doesn't create any absurdity or logical break. It is someone fantasizing sexually in regards to a child. Further band-wagoning onto a person that makes this statement doesn't add a "joke quality" to it, not in any reasonable interpretation, it makes you look like a pedophile too. I did not receive any initial vibe that the people supporting this guy were trying to turn it into a joke; they made me feel like there was a silent layer of people that at a level supported what this guy said and they were kinda of trying to 'feel out the water' so-to-speak.
Now later on when I brought this up in the Amod thread (If I recall), Gavinrad did respond in some context (to paraphrase) "I jerked off twice to the picture" or something like that. Now bear in mind Gavinrod's got an avatar of Herbert the Pervert and a title "registered sex offender" I really can hardly remember Gavinrod/rad? from the forums, his name always got minced in my head with Grimlokk's....(it's a G thing I dunno)
So if Gavinrod was trying to get a reaction from me, he clearly succeeded--I'm a fully grown adult, I follow the Social More that says Pedastry and all forms of Child Molestation are amoral, and also quite illegal in the US. I even know that certain things online will get you targeted by the FBI, etc... (I know this because I have a contact that actually used to work for an organization that did this very thing for a living). Now maybe Gavinrad/rod whatever the fuck your name is, was trying to go full retard and take it to the next level and make me super emotionally compromised, but I don't think it's wise to try and disguise child-molestation as a form of trolling; and I don't mean this as a threat or what have you (the contact I mentioned no longer does that for a living), I just think quite frankly to associate yourself--for the sake of getting an emotional response out of me--with someone who is fantasizing about children in a sexual capacity is really, really, really
R E A L L Yfucking stupid.
Which leads me to this, I'm not interested in playing the infract-a-mole game, and I don't believe its on the mods to be omniscient when this shit breaks out, although they'll be able to suppress it that doesn't mean it's not there, just that it's not being posted. While I understand that there are child molesters in the general population, or we wouldn't be having this conversation at all, it seems like somehow some where along the way we've built some type of filtering system and its bringing this type of crowd in. Maybe because the forum tolerates harsher stuff, maybe because we're not very Politically Correct...I don't fucking know, but it has disturbed me.
I was 13 when I started following the forums, and I was just looking in, I know I had no impact on what brought DPS Sam here, I know the the fucking silly drama just happened on its own, but having over the years started to interact with the boards I can't help but feel like asking myself What the fuck have I helped to create? What the fuck type of people are we attracting here? This place doesn't seem to attractlike minded people anymore. What solution is there? Open up a counseling thread for people with this sickness, because I've never had a tolerance for it, my view has always been to put a bullet in their head and move on. I just feel like turning my back to it, the reality being it's just a forum on the internet.One I've kept tabs on for half my life...try and fix it as you will but I certainly don't expect it to be fixed by razing the Rickshaw...

I'm so totally emotionally compromised now bro :*(
* Yeah I know but I didn't feel like stream lining my ego in a superiorly concise prose, not while the Rickshaw is being bombed.

I will support this only if I can farm a negative post count. Not just stopping at zero bullshit.

In the dream.. which penis is yours? I'm picturing you as the left one, and... lets say... Millie's on the right.Hey all
Or are they both yours?
Voyce is all up in arms over a joke about watching legal porn but is not upset at guys like Trollface consistently posting pics of young girls.

Its like the shaw is a plane of disease that drains HP while you are active in it. You hit zero you die until you can be rezzed (RRP expiration). Another RRP'ed denizen can rez you back to 100 post count by sacrificing 100 of their own posts but upon user rez you will still be in the shaw serving your RRP sentence.
There, I came up with a fair, reasonable and simple to implement solution. Make it so.

Actually he was upset about both, but probably never said shit while Britt and company were fetishizing Emma Watson when she was probably like twelve.

I was actually on hiatus for a good part of that time period, there's a huge gap of what went on at FoH between 14 days and whenever I started following the forums again around..I want to say Kegkilla's first great threads. I don't know a lot about that whole hoofshots thing.
* Also I was probably like 15-16 and wasn't even posting to the forums before Keg, just lurking... so...*

I definitely do not have all the answers, I don't know what we can do to make it better. But I do think things have kind of gotten to the point that something needs to be done. Do I think Draegan should have nuked the rickshaw? Maybe not, but the alternative was just locking all the damn threads, either way the idea of an "anything goes" section of the forum is gone because people are stupid, and in some cases extremely disturbed.
Part of me thinks that the community policed itself better on foh, but that may just be flawed memory. I want to think a guy like Trollface, with all his creepy pedo shit and whatever, would have been shouted down.
