A-logging

ChaosAkita said:
One big problem here is people are quick to jump to prove how "non-spregy" they are. But most normal people don't give a shit about what a random guy on the internet does, nor do they go to forums about them. Maybe people here are confident but I feel like a lot of the comments here are because people are super insecure.

People also like to attack Chris for random shit, but I can guarantee there are a ton of people here who have embarassing lives themselves, it's just that no one really can tell. Yet I've found when you try to talk about it people also complain you're a "sperg" or soemthing. lol Ummm i guess people would rather have "asspats" here or whatever?

And I also don't get why people feel the need to compare themselves with someone who pretty much just has the mind of a child. Chris is pretty well off to a lot of autistic people (in that he can speak, etc), but I think it's pretty clear that he has some in-born tendencies that would prevent him from having a regular life regardless if he has an excellent school system and excellent parents. (And that would be a pretty big if) I think it's pointless to feel bitter towards Chris or even towards people like Anna or "Borb". Rather than criticizing random strangers over the internet, it's probably better to work on criticizing yourself.

Look I feel bad if you have autism but there's nothing any of us can do about it except point out when your sperging gets out of hand.
 
thread topic: chris is kim il-sung reincarnated

op text: hello has anyone considered that chris is not in fact autistic but the reincarnation of DPRK founder and father of the juche philosophy, kim il-sung? consider the evidence: 1) he is overweight ha ha fatty fat fat, 2) he is eternal leader of cwcville, 3) he too has amassed a mountain of material wealth on the backs of his fellow countrymen, 4) dwells upon slights both real and imagined for decades, 5) festers in an impoverished trash heap while maintaining delusions of grandeur, 6) clearly hates koreans based on all available evidence

^ that is an example of both a spergy and a-loggy thread

i will demonstrate an a-loggy comment by mentioning that my life and character are both objectively better than chris's and sneak a veiled plea for validation (from both myself and internet strangers) while i'm at it, also i'm way more fit and get way more sex than whoever started this dumb hair-splitting derail
 
Akita, being a dick is only cool if you've got something interesting to say or you're classy about it. Picking fights in every thread you're in makes it look like you're dumb or you're just doing it for shits and giggles.
 
I'll chime in a bit more:

A-Logging is strongly discouraged, and especially egregious examples get locked and whatnot. But sometimes there's grey areas and if I was a hardass who had to crack down on every instance of A-Logging, I would have to lock or delete probably about half the posts on here. For example, I'm not really crazy about the "What if you could punch Chris anywhere?" thread. It's not strictly A-Logging, but I don't want to appear to be a hardass about it. That's the thing about being a mod or an admin, on the one hand you have to enforce the rules but you can't be a hardass about enforcing every single rule to the point you can't have any discussions because some part of it infringes on the rules. I know recently there was a thread that was something along the lines of "For people on disability, what do you think of Chris?" and I thought Compy handled it well when he warned people on the thread to tread carefully. The thread topic was just ripe to provoke A-Logging but it's not entirely impossible to have the thread without A-Logging if it was properly done.

The whole A-Logging rule is mostly a safety measure for all parties involved. One, unfortunately there are people who lurk the forums who have the intention of finding a new lolcow to replace Chris. I know what these kind of people are like, because I hang out with them on PVCC and I've frequented /cow/ for ages and to them, saying something like "I hate Chris! He gives autistics like me a bad name!" or "I wish Chris would die!" says to them "Yes, please troll me, I hate a harmless autistic manchild because I am desperately overcompensating for my own miserable life." Second, I don't want to give Chris fodder. I have a strong suspicion feel that Chris thinks we all hate him and want him dead, when I think most of us are just have a morbid fascination with Chris, albeit on the unhealthy side at times. I think the average person here doesn't want Chris dead, they just think Chris is bizarrely interesting and they probably wish Chris would listen to people and change for the better. Third, it's to keep Null's and by association my ass safe. If Chris ever wisens up, I don't want him to show this forum to an attorney or someone and show them posts that say things like "If I had the chance, I'd slit Chris's fat throat" or shit like that. I don't want to give an impression we're some sort of hate site and jeopardize us. Likewise, if some psychotic person decides to physically harm Chris, I don't want law enforcement to find this forum and argue that we encouraged this person. This is similar to the reason why I don't allow trolling plans.

If you see A-Logging in a thread, report it. There should be a little button in the post to do so and that makes the mods' and admins' jobs easier because it'll pop up for us and we can investigate it immediately. People have been posting out threads but nobody has reporting them, don't be afraid to report bad posts.
 
Thanks for the clarification, Champ! However, I'm still not really sure what threads qualify for locking under the current A-log rule since you seem to give a lot of leeway. I know that anything wishing harm on Chris is a no-no, but what about anything else?

Look at all the thread basically saying "Chris gives people on disability a bad name".

Frankly, Akita, CWC gives all of humanity a bad name. Maybe I should have thought twice before posting that "shot dead by the Ruckersville police" comment on his most recent YouTube video, but the son of a bitch makes me sick to my stomach. Michael Snyder should have pushed for him to get consecutive life sentences after the car incident back in 2011.

*braces for imminent banhammering*

Consecutive life sentences for vehicular assault? Your understanding of the law is a bit shaky.
 
If you feel that a post is "A-logging" or breaking any other rule (like "I may be on SSD, but I'm better than Chris because I mow my lawn" type stuff), report it. Himawari is on top of her shit and like half of all reports we get are from her, but the feature is available to everyone.

Now we'll never know where people could punch Chris. :heart-empty: Anyways, I figured it was obvious that was a joke thread. I dislike A-logging because it is tiresome. As for /cow/, I don't see how they are relevant. They really aren't any different, except most like to post anon so someone out there can't "get them" or something. I agree with the rules posted, but I doubt Chris actually reads through the forums. The forums are just an easy scapegoat for him to rationalize why he doesn't have a sweetheart yet.

I'm still not completely sure what constitutes A-logging and what's just regular forum discussion.

But thanks, I never thought about the report feature, thanks.

A-Logging: Chris is so stupid! He really should die/be raped/get robbed for what he does to other with autism! I'm better because I have autism and I raked the leaves! :alog:

A normal onlooker to Chris's antics: Lol :lol:

A normal onlooker who likes poking fun at Chris: Hey, do you think Chris washes down Healthy McWraps with a giant ass cup of sugar water? :asperchu:

Faux Intellectuals: Blah blah blah armchair psychology blah blah blah mental disorders *yawn*

Epic Weeners: :julay:
 
Laying down some really strict definition of what constitutes a rule and what doesn't is generally an ineffective approach.

Instead, if something seems really over the top or inappropriate or graphic, report it. If the mods agree we'll take care of it. Simple as that.
