@CringeNigger No, genuinely drunkposting.
And I'll fuckin do it again.
DB has got a lot of fucking problems / features. When I compare the boards to a sewer / refugee camp / special-needs Auschwitz, I mean it: it's a community made up of banned members from (((elsewhere))). That's the userbase, no great mystery. We're a containment board.
If we went the 40oz path of "make it like doomworld" with no shitposting and a moratorium on retardation then
what's the fucking point? You want a rule that says ,"This forum is for talking about DOOM ONLY, all other conversation is haram take it to other websites?" Then I direct you to the OP of this very thread, that attitude is exactly what caused the community schism in the first place.
A community used to be a fucking clubhouse (admittedly, in this case, a clubhouse of retards, but a clubhouse nevertheless). Come back from a day at fucking work, stand at the bar and speak shit, maybe go work on your bike in the garage if you can be bothered, whatever. So long as the shit-talking stays in the off-topic forum no one gives a fuck, that's what the off-topic board is for: it stops people from fucking around in the garage and sawing their goddamn fingers off.
I keep on seeing this attitude (and it surprises me, coming from farms users) that somehow
not speaking about doom should be totally haram - as if we're a board on fucking reddit, and off-topic shit must not be contemplated under penalty of death. I hear "Take this shit elsewhere, ma'am, this is a McDoomworld."
Look at the fucking internet these days. Take that shit
where exactly?
The great "let's make it like Blogs" idea is a desperate Hail Mary. It's an attempt to please everyone while stopping the fucking pogrom of refugees, the great Bonfire of the Retards that would have been the result of 40's plan to sanitize the boards. And the blogs idea is fraught with possible disaster as well - Out of Sight, Out of Mind is a thing, and it would be the work of an instant to, once the uglier side of DB culture has been removed from the public eye, make that a
permanent state of affairs by locking the door to the backroom and turning on the gas.
And once those guys (and myself, lets be real) are gone? Then you get exactly the same sort of pozzed-skinwalker waltzing through the door that ruined doomworld. People have it arsebackwards about gatekeeping their communities: turns out you don't need to gatekeep if the neighbourhood is an unliveable, forever burning 3rd world hellscape. No trannies in Haiti, Haiti don't need no fuckin gentrification.
So, in order to protect our... immune system of retardation, I need checks and balances. And I've walked nothing back: frankly, I was hoping this shit would blow over and things would return to the status quo, but fuckheads and arseholes keep on shitting up my lawn / counter-protesting the fact that the lawn is full of shit, so I guess fucking not.
