Can it actually be posted unironically?

Oh trust me before Ishan started making moderation less robotic we had plenty of mod interventions for way more mild stuff between mates.

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

I remember those days. It was like, “Oh another mod intervention, what a surprise!”

[Akar]

In the old days this would've been infracted to , but now as long as nobody hits report...

Nah, it's not illegal to post a bunch of wubs, so long as you don't bypass the censor.

Can it actually be posted unironically?

I'll have you know that I have over 300 confirmed friendly fire incidents...

My moderation, because of my modding background, was also robotic in the early days and I think it was also due to me being a non-native English speaker. But that soon changed within a span of few months primarily due to mentoring done by Darth Red, Garb, imb, Noble Savage & Jom.
Secondly the main credit goes to TD members themselves. Back then the forum activity was pretty crazy and the only way to get things more friendly and less chaotic was by direct interaction and befriending rule breakers and spammers rather than stomp authority for every other ToS violation. Because in the end, no one really wanted to hurt the site or any other member.

Things can never work until there are positive actions taken from both sides.

So what you’re saying is we need to make things way more crazy and out of hand again.

Let’s do it boys. ANARCHY

What a reprehensibly insightful take. I loathe your wisdom.

In all seriousness though I do respect it. I can understand, especially with Islam and many mods being ESL, maybe at times not getting the tone of something being said and having to take a hard stance on it just because it allows a precedent for actual TOS breaking behavior to slip through and create toxicity. It’s a delicate balance between enforcing rules and creating a good environment for everyone and also being so heavy handed you kill enthusiasm and the fun posting atmosphere entirely. The TD and it’s members have grown up and pretty much everyone here has known everyone a long time so it’s easier to really just have a chill environment than maybe a decade ago when everything was legitimately crazy and you still had a ton of noobs funneling in. I think the balance it has arrived at is pretty nice, and certainly different than what is necessary in the D&D sub

I’ll be tossing my hat in tonight in Inkie’s thread, standby for the announcement coming soon. There goes the neighborhood.

[ggggtotalwarrior]

If you won who would you relinquish the throne to on December 31st though?

No one! I will stay to rule the TD.

Jokes aside as long as my tests come back I have to have done in the upcoming weeks I’ll probably in all honesty stay, (I’m having some concerning health issues) if they don’t then, we’ll you know, but even then it won’t be a truly permanent thing TWCrack is strong. Wish good luck on your future majesty for good health so he can stay and rule the TD good geg. You do like cashews and milk do you? Mr.Peanut?

[Akar]

I can understand, especially with Islam

:S

and many mods being ESL,

:S

everything was legitimately crazy

:S

[ggggtotalwarrior]

I DIDNT MEAN ISLAM THAT WAS A TYPO

ISHAN ISHAN

don’t cancel me for autocorrect, cancel me for the things I do deserve to be cancelled for

[Akar]

Freud would have a field day with you, boy.

[Derpy Hooves]

You see even the '''Golden age''' peeps here have their individual favourites.

Admittedly, for all the laconism of his input, the bunny's sheer speed of response, not just in this thread but across the board, is still unparalleled. That much is indisputable.

So even Derpy falls so low as to commit lese-majeste and treason.

All Mr. McBeal wanted was his breakfast muffins, god damn it.


In the old days this would've been infracted to , but now as long as nobody hits report...

Au contraire mon ami, it has always been Cahoma

[Akar]

Amen, brother.

Don't worry friend, there will be freedom of speech here.


Finally home from work, almost fell asleep today in the conference room.

[Akar]

Freedom of speech =/= freedom from consequences my friend

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

So you want to cancel gggg?

[Akar]

I mean, yeah.

[Derpy Hooves]

Freedom of speech =/= freedom from consequences my friend

I dunno about that. I've been trying to cancel you for months/years, to little to no avail
