From observation I will say the second a thread gets on featured on the front page there is a high chance things will go downhill fast in terms of on-topic posts. As for why this is, I would say its because everyone sees it and wants to get their hot take in or something like that.

I think this is just a result of having a forum where people can talk about content, this a thing in any thread that is big, someone posts goodies and then the next 150 posts are people essentially reacting to the information, this should be expected if anything but there isn't really a way to fix this IMO unless you had some sort of community emote filter but even that could be potentially abused.

For context and those wondering, Josh got fed up with Wings' trolls' less-than-infallible logic today starting with this post:

Wow damn. That is pretty fucking excessive. Unless the person is a kiddy rapist or animal fucker, it really is pretty inappropriate to A-Log some fat retard that ultimately is only hurting themselves instead of sitting back and watching lolcows hang themselves.

  • Stop encouraging SWAT pranks and other criminality; it's not funny and I'm the asshole that has to deal with the FBI.
Then stop allowing dox information on the site. How is someone's address pertinent to making fun of that person? Yes I know it's legal. Do you understand how much of a psycho you would come off if you got into an argument with someone in real life and then you said, "I know where you live." Don't pretend to be surprised if eventually someone punches you in the face.

How about don't call the cops you fucking retard.

Ok, and if someone had been more vigilant about doxing Byuu the site wouldn't have lost another fucking provider, because his shit lies wouldn't have flown.
A person's living arrangement, what state they're in, what income class, etc. are all pertinent to understanding a person.

Plus where is the line then? How much can you post? What's your definition of doxing?
Even if explicit address isn't included, people are going to dig up information on a person; if they don't have their name out there and someone finds their name which could easily lead to an address, do they keep that under their hat, since then someone could use that name to look up an address and swat them?

Care to define exactly where collecting and posting character information ends and "doxing" begins? I'd sure be interested in hearing that.

I only post here because of this fucking bullshit:

Tell me how to solve it and I will return to my former home and never infest your beautiful site with my shit posts ever again.

Yeah he's a stupid fat retard with stupid fat retard opinions, laugh at him and call him a giant nigger faggot. Until he's actually hurt someone (e.g. Amos Yee being an actual kiddy fiddler instead of just being an Internet cock gobbler), he's entitled to be a stupid fat retard with his freedom of speech and be laughed at by Cambodian goat farming message boards.

Not many people who joined after 2019 seem to appreciate how the forum's existence is constantly at risk. Between 2014-2019, we were removed from at least 100 VPS providers. It was a constant game of cat and mouse. In 2019, I spent thousands of dollars to put the forum on its own hardware to reduce the number of third parties who can deplatform us. Despite this, every year, something else breaks. In 2021, Dreamhost (a company I have used since I was 13) told us to move our domain to another registrar.

As others have said with media advertisement of the website you get a lot of new members. You get a lot of people who didnt grow up with the site and dont have the same experiences.

@Null - not to be a yeasty cunt, but if you're going to draw lines basis which users have the requisite experience ie: pre-2019 then you're just a gatekeeping negro. I get that current users have strayed from the sites purpose and raison d'etre but thats a site management issue. You cant sit here blaming users for not doing what you want. You cant stop this kind of thing from happening unless you close your forum to invite only so only the "right" kind of people can join the site.

I view it as the forum mgmt responsibility to foster and promote the kind of content and discussions that the KF needs.

but what do I know i'm just a shitty user that joined after 2019 - i've posted no content, my participation in discussions is mediocre at best, and I've for sure thrown a few absolute shit posts around, looks like i'm the asshole

Not being to see the captcha in person, don't you just have to slide the slider over until the letters are clear enough to make sense of and then type them in?

That's the idea, but it never works for me. I can fill out any other captcha fine, but I just can't do the slidey thing. I assume its hiroshimoot trying to get me to paypig.
