Plagued Onion Farms and other KF Splinter Sites - Watch Kiwi Farms members slapfighting in this thread

There are standards for "well adjusted" and seriously, KF mods should be judged by that standard.
I dunno if you'd have mods then man. I dunno what a traditional medical or mental health field list of standards for being "well adjusted" looks like, but I can't imagine being a part of Kiwi Farms gives you positive points on that scale, much less "helping to run Kiwi Farms."

It's not the standard of normal people.
Oh, err, maybe then? Is it just being able to function in some social space without chimping out or something then? I'm uneducated on this, you have any insight or citations to learn from?

All in all, we're all a little nutty (or autistic, if you prefer) and that's okay, long as you don't expect people to go beyond their means.
 
This could be fun. Maybe we should redirect him to other splinters like Applecat's Tea Parlour or autism.cool. I don't know if those even exist anymore but the power of his 'tism can probably revive them.
You know where he'd fit it great? Lipstick Alley or The Coli. I hear null loves those sites.
did i ask :story:
By coming into the thread you kind of did.
people actually appreciate the fact I made them aware about how dumb Cicadas are, so *raspberry*
What I find most concerning is that you had to explain to someone that insects aren't known for being intelligent.
That LJ does not scream well adjusted
How about when compared to Sneasel?
 
Literally what I said 7 pages ago happened already and now no dox on website. Wait until he gets a letter from a European telling him to get rid of hatefacts.

I fucking hate this stupid hypocrisy people have with the forum. So many people use it to dig up dirt on people they don't like, then in public cheer when it's taken down. As it stands there is no other drama documentation website that is as reliable and open as this one, and that gives it a utility that, should it be taken down, will just not be found anywhere else. Have fun digging through twitter threads written by teenagers with BPD on hormones the next time something juicy happens.
 
but why?

Imagine getting mad at stickers.
Nah, it's funny when dumbasses get pissy over stickers.
I just don't think stickers are all that appealing to be honest, it just gives me a reddit vibe that I don't particularly like is all.
So the solution to a forum having stickers which creates a herd like mentality is..... create another splinter forum that has stickers?
I probably could have worded my post a little better. I just think stickers are dumb is all.

I think stickers supposed to be a way for people/users to express easily their feelings/reactions about the posts made by another users they read on this site.

EDIT: Also this thread is about onionfarms, not about you bitching and moaning about some internet stickers.

It's a way to prevent people from clogging up a thread by making 20 posts saying nothing but "I agree with you" or "That's stupid."

A perfectly reasonable function, and this site would be considerably harder to read without them. If gay cliques and petty vendettas are the prices to pay for that so be it.
 
tf is this sticker sperging now? A lot of you don't seem to understand what the point of the site is.
OF isn't a splinter as much as it is an extension of KF where threads on Null and sections of this site can exist, both of which are massive cows. I'm sure Ken and some of the banned tards would love it to become KF 2.0 but that's not gonna happen.

Most of this complains about the politics, but this guy seems to be the only one who really understands the situation we're in.

This is the reality. After 2016, the entire world changed, and many people who were not politically active (CHRIS) suddenly became literal card-carrying members of local LGBTQ+ alliances actively canvassing for Clinton and posting about Trump online.

The other reality after around 2016 was trans shit. Back when trans shit started happening in early 2010s, the only person on the site making fun of them was @introman. He had a weird prescience where he insisted trans shit was a cult and soon it would be a huge fucking deal. He ended up being right, but at the time, his obsession about trans lolcows seemed weird. Now the site is one of the few high-visibility websites where you can openly ridicule trans people without restraint and not be completely banned and ostracized. That is also politically rooted in conservativism, and (especially with people like Jonathan Yaniv making international headlines) it will drive a politically charged, right-leaning group of users to join the site.


There's a post by kiwifaggot after that and it's very articulate. It's a shame he feels that the only way to express these thoughts is on a website owned by someone who boils hamburgers.

Here's my problem with this. On one hand, he thinks I'm joyless and bitter.

But on the other hand, when you take someone like CDM and make fun out of it, that's me needlessly humiliating the userbase.

The whole thing with CDM was that he insisted he was a great user. He was shit and about to be banned regardless, but since he made appeals to public opinion I put it up to vote. This is for fun, it's a community game to kick the autistic, something that has always happened on this forum, but in this instance it's a bad thing for whatever reason.

This is along the same vein. I am legally required to deal with DMCA complaints. When I receive an improper, inconsiderate, or outright fraudulent DMCA, I still have to respond to it. So, to keep this requirement fun for me and the community, I make it a spectacle. For some reason, this is also a kind of fun I am not allowed to have.

This is also a mechanism of deterrence. I get far fewer complaints these days than I did before I made it clear how I handle complaints trying to abuse the process. You also don't see the complaints that I quietly handle. I get a lot, and I still have to say "no" most of the time. The rule of thumb is that I will not show someone more respect than was shown towards me in the complaint. Many people realize they are not in a position of power, that the law does not dictate they get to censor the Internet, and I handle those appropriately.

For instance, I get a lot of complaints about revenge porn. Someone joins, dumps an entire imageset of some girl naked in a random thread, and then a week later I get a complaint politely asking they be removed. Since they're not fair use, since the user had malicious intentions, since he abused my site to achieve those malicious intentions, I will often just delete them without issue or spectacle.

They wanted to charge everyone posting in the Chch thread with the same law they use for possessing child pornography. They wanted to put my users in fucking prison for a decade for looking at that footage. I take back nothing and I am glad that it got the media coverage it deserved. New Zealand deserves to have its public image be "censorious shithole that tries to throw people in prison for looking at news footage", not "where the Hobbit was filmed".


Summary:
1. The consensus in the thread is "xyz politics bad" while they themselves don't have a political consensus on what politics are bad, which sort-of highlights the issue.
2. A lot of people complained about me being a doomer, which I am. I maintain that the site will go down if Section 230 is repealed because I cannot host it without those protections. I'm sorry that this bothers you but that is reality.
3. Some people complained about bans but that's more of a case-by-case basis. I didn't see anyone in the thread I regret banning.
4. There is a TON of sperging about stickers from absolutely everybody.
5. Things feel different now.

I feel the worst for the guy who can articulate himself but chooses to do someplace where he doesn't expect to be heard. I realize that I'm pretty arbitrary, but I've never banned anyone for making a post like that. This isn't even the first time I've heard of people being afraid to just tell me things and I consider that a deep failure on my part.
 
I've always maintained that stickers are preferable to the alternatives, which is the kind of dogpiling and white noise posting that made places like SA unreadable much of the time. If you agree or disagree with a post, you can press a button and move on, not make a whole post just to say "this post good" or "this post bad". It also prevents something which also happened at SA, which is the mods starting to think that the noisiest posters represented the majority opinion, whereas the most prolific posters on the forum are the ones with the most spare time, i.e. Communist Tranny NEETS whose opinions should be disregarded. Here, if someone says something dumb, they get negrated into the ground, informing them that we don't like their opinion without censoring it. It doesn't matter if they post more dumb shit, they just get more negrates. It prevents fringe posters from gaining too much influence, because the "silent majority" of sane posters can contribute even if they don't have the time or inclination to type out a full rebuttal. I think the sticker system is the only thing keeping the political sperging under control outside of A&N, because the second someone blunders into a thread to give their opinions about Jews, the people enjoying the previous discussion can call them dumb without having to start an argument with them, that would only derail the thread further.

But if you get mad about stickers, you deserve to be pointed at and laughed at. It's rarely personal, I almost never look at who the poster is before I give a rating to a post. I just want to like good posts and dislike bad ones, and if you're racking up hundreds of negrates then it's probably not everyone else who is the problem.
