NUll's post in the roderick thread discussion

[SpessCaptain]

You have a point, but what happened here is that all the normal kids left the sandbox when that asshole kid started shitting in it, and all the other tards came over and joined in until there was nothing but shit in the sandbox. And at that point, yes, you should probably ban all the kids from using it, if only to prevent them from getting covered in shit.

Did you really fucking post about kids shitting into a sandpit until it became a shitpit?


Holy fuck.

Except we aren't children. The forum is 18+. People are supposed to be adults. If a thread topic isn't funny or rustles your jimmies, logic would dictate you should just not read or post in it. I don't give two fucks about ForeverKailyn but I don't go shitting up her thread about how she is or isn't a real cosmetologist. I simply don't bother with the thread.

I think you're expecting little much from the kinds of autists who shit up a thread like that. Remember, they are literally autistic. Not an insult, not a meme, actual autism. Not bothering with a thread you're not interested in is a given for adults assuming those adults are fully functioning, but that's not an assumption you can make on kiwifarms, unfortunately.

This isn't tumblr, we shouldn't have to child-proof everything just because there are literal tards here.

If autism is the metric by which we define people who can't help but argue on the internet over something they took offence to, I'd be worried about the state of humanity.

Sure, but it also means there's no reason to get salty about a thread going off the rails with autism like that. It's just going to happen by the nature of the forum. It's that very saltiness ('waahhh, my site about autism has autism in it') that made Null unwilling to just kill the shitty thread for so long.

 

[CatParty]

I'm actually pretty pissed that people are so easily offended on the site.

if you are coming here from tumblr, you should probably go back

You're over here acting like a thread title is a legal decree about it's content. Sometimes it's just fun to talk shit, man.

They do say it's best to write about what you know...

Problem is, not everyone thinks it's "fun" to read 20+ pages of shit when you're actually trying to make a point in that thread or trying to understand what the fuck is going on.

 

[Alex Krycek]

How about this, suggestion for a new rule:
If you care too strongly about a topic or issue, don't post in a thread discussing that topic or issue.

I have no problem with Cox and yet I think there is legitimacy in the stereotype of the 'crazy tranny'. Sure it isn't fair to every trans person out there and not all trans people are crazy, but the stereotype exists for a reason. I see a thread I have no input in or don't care to comment on? I say nothing about it, maybe give out a few ratings and move on. Nobody should get so worked up over a thread that they froth at the mouth and get a hate-boner for staff. It's dumb and defeats the purpose of these boards. Said my piece about it.

Have you heard about this great place called the outdoors? If you are finding yourself suffering a severe case of butthurt, please shutdown your computer and go outside.

 

[The Jumping Dwarf]

That is legitemately amusing coming from one of the most butthurt spergs in that forum. You were salty as fuck my friend. Null has a community to keep together what's your excuse?

For fuck's sake stop creating drama you sped. What we don't need is infighting between forum members. What the hell made you think this comment was pertinent in any way?

Alot of lack of self awareness with these posts, but I'll include myself and apologize for shitting things up. Deleted.

 

[MrTroll]

My point is that the thread really should have been deleted when it got to 8 pages and 90% of the posts were just saying "This thread is boring and should be deleted." Not because they were asking for deletion (obvoiusly if there's lulz to be had then keep it alive by all means), but because that in itself makes it a shitty thread. My point about there being a lot of autism here is that when there's nothing of interest in a thread, on a site like this it can only die or get autistic.

Deleting or locking threads when they get bad or have outlived their usefulness is a sensible moderation policy, but if it's the result of sabotage (as in the case of Introman's thread), you're essentially surrendering to the heckler's veto, and the last thing a site like this needs is a group of uber-sensitive tumblristas going around, shitposting in every thread that offends them because they know they can easily scuttle it that way.

I didn't see anyone deliberately shitposting just to get the thread trashed, any more than they did in the ludicrous thread about that nut who killed/mutilated that dog.

see i dont see it as sabotage when the thread didn't have a chance to begin with but i dont think people should have reported it instead of shit posting in it and making it into cancer

The first few pages were almost entirely devoted to people whining about transphobia or the no celebrities rule. I'm pretty sure moral nagging and backseat moderating (in a thread posted by a moderator, no less) count as shit-posting. Obviously they had no intention of actually meaningfully contributing to the discussion, and as Null pointed out, the cow forums are filled with threads that never received a single reply, so what drew so many people out of the woodwork to that particular thread if not to derail it?

 

[XYZpdq]

I think part of it is the shift from focusing less on "lolcow" and more on "moral outrage cow". It encourages people to be judgemental dumbfucks.
