Title: State of the forum, where we go from here, and a short experiment.
Post by: Great Rumbler on December 14, 2021, 10:56:17 AM
Look, we all know that a big chunk of the forum has been pretty crap for a while now and we all know a big part of the reason for that. So, with that I'm mind, I'm doing some things that will be in effect for the next 3 months.

1. Several posters will be banned. [if you have someone specific in mind and are wondering if they're included, the answer is "yes"]

2. Off-topic is done. Nobody cares about NeoGAF and Reset anymore. If you see something interesting on reddit, post it in the meme thread. Otherwise, just chuckle to yourself and move on.  We will try the other forums thread in the members-only sub-forum.  Don't fuck it up!  http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=48300.0

3. Maybe a few other minor things here and there.

This will be in effect for 3 months. If at the end of the 3 months everyone hates this and wants things to go back to how they were, I'll undo everything and leave the board for good.

This is smart. You're doing both those people and the community a favor even if it doesn't seem like it.

I won't name names, but I know for a fact that one of those people is severely mentally ill and letting them go unchecked here as a dominant personality does far more harm than good. Severing is the right choice and I truly hope they get the help they need

Not gonna step on your toes, but if people want that kind of thread back, it will go in the closed subforum, hidden away from everyone else who doesn't or no longer cares.  But only if it's agreed on.

No, it's garbage posters being given too much free reign for too long and things need to change. Discord has nothing to do with it.

in my personal opinion I feel that it's important to have the ability to talk about such things, but maybe it doesn't need a dedicated thread, I feel like it could go in bad vibes where I'm sure a lot of people already don't go anyway

with certain people gone I'm sure a lot of things that would've been said about it would be reduced regardless

I know it's not a democracy and any subject that mods would want to ban is up to them, but I feel like this gets into territory where you're like, ok people (not even at era) are trying to cancel this game because the tits are too big, are we able to talk about that since it's adjacent? jason schreir has dug himself a real twitter hole this time, does this get a new thread somewhere? nft bros are being morons, oh wait now the people making fun of them are being morons

there's always something weird going on and I'm not sure what's too "era adjacent" and what isn't, and I don't like the idea of having to be on tiptoes or risk being banned

if you'll just close topics you don't like that's fine

I don't even know if I would be posting about these things, I honestly found the thread to be a good internet news source in general

the shit thread should have stayed in the "secret forum" there for those who want it, and out the way for the rest.

I get that it brings a vibe from certain posters just shitting the place up, but I think a single thread is far better than multiple "lmao, look at this dork" - then mod locks

also for me it wasn't all "point and laugh" in a mean-spirited way, it was sort of a thread to respond to all the weirdness from across the internet, because you can't or won't respond to their face, not because you're being abusive but because you're trying to be thoughtful/reasonable in a place where reason isn't welcome

kind of work through how I feel about shit but also have transhumans and such steering back to not going too far, and all that

You should come back. There's been literally no drama in there for months, and I think everyone, that certain poster included, would just move on like nothing happened.

If you wanna talk about a specific thing mentioned on Re or Twitter, you can make a thread about it. As long as it's for actually talking about the issue and not just dogpiling, fine. But we're well past the point where it makes sense to have a dedicated thread for every stupid or hypocritical thing some rando on another forum says.

I'm not against it being brought back and placed in there.  I think it makes more sense.

We had a single thread to keep all that shit contained, though.  I prefer that to multiple topics.  Again I think we should just have a thread in the private forum so nobody who wants to see that shit has to go there.

Unless something happened while I was sleeping, I agree 100%.

The shitbin thread is the shitbin thread and rarely does anything there overlap into the forum proper.

What caused all of this, specifically? We're all grown ups here and capable of ignoring things we don't agree with and if the people whom I think have been made verbotten have been, then this seems a bit disproportionate tbh.

This was a long time coming and honestly should have been done years ago.

Kind of difficult to ignore Nintex given how much he posts. Having him in ignore doesn’t eradicate his posting habits. He made the politics thread unreadable

Wtf is going on here, bro? Don’t you still own this place? Rein this Labrador in. The Other Forums thread was like 75% of the traffic. We’ve been reading it for 15 years.

Why does random Discord drama always leak into the forum? Same thing happened to OA. That chat room shit is cancer, bro.  Fire this golden retriever and let’s get back on track.

There was a bunch of deleted posts, then filler, Nintex, James and others were banned for posting lots, then the discord people jumped back in to do some gloating and gravedancing. Then your forum died.

Nintex is the hill you want to die on for a difference in political opinion?  All he ever did was spam shitposts, in the shitbin thread it’s fine just scroll past like I assume almost everyone does.  But in threads where people are trying to actually talk about stuff I can imagine it gets tiring.

I don’t even think I could peg a specific political ideology onto Nintex from his posting, it just seemed like he’d post whatever went against the prevailing opinion in whatever thread he posted in.  Chaos for the sake of chaos in other words I guess.

When you are batting for James threads, you are no one to bitch about manchildren.
Lol. Is it really that hard to ignore him?

I didn’t mind James or filler. James always made painful unfunny threads but I was okay with him. Just not going to pretend we are missing something from a regular James thread.

(I will take filler and James over Nintex).
filler seemed harmless to me. I dunno. I’m desensitized because of the autism I’m exposed to elsewhere.

I’m guessing he caught serious heat for posting a tweet of a guy getting murdered in the REE thread. It was totally unsolicited too. Dude just dropped it randomly on thanksgiving. :lol

I rarely venture outside of the REE thread here so I’m not exposed to other recreational fuckery those guys got into.

Not really. Question was asked and answered.

Still doesn't justify the wholesale banning of members just having a good time. No one posted anything deserving of this and the overreaction is embarrassing really.

Eh, at least we shouldn’t pretend Nintex wasn’t being a shitposter that made many threads outside containment unreadable.

The others I dunno, lame discord drama to know.
Which threads did Nintex make unreadable?

The politics threads? Just because you don't agree with his politics doesn't mean he should be banned. Disagree with him or ignore him. It's not that hard...

 ::)

Motherfucker, lets not pretend that 75% percent of every single page of that thread were not alright sperging and alt right twitter news. He zigzagging between regular Trumptard to nihilistic shitposter doesn’t help.
Alt right? Are you fucking joking? Stop being so thin-skinned and you might just learn to have a good time.

So you admit that he was shitposter that buried every real conversation in that thread?
No, but you certainly are having a little tantrum over someone daring to have different political views.

Nintex is the hill you want to die on for a difference in political opinion?  All he ever did was spam shitposts, in the shitbin thread it’s fine just scroll past like I assume almost everyone does.  But in threads where people are trying to actually talk about stuff I can imagine it gets tiring.

I don’t even think I could peg a specific political ideology onto Nintex from his posting, it just seemed like he’d post whatever went against the prevailing opinion in whatever thread he posted in.  Chaos for the sake of chaos in other words I guess.

when was this fabled era when people actually tried to "talk about stuff" in the us politics thread? all i remember is glenda sperging out about hillary and mandark bragging about how many posters he ran off the forum in his yoof  :lol

I like a lot of the Discord people, and think it's a good community as well, even if it started killing the forum. This silly drama is just putting the final nail in the coffin though, making sure it's dead for good. But whatever, I got other places to visit and some I am more active on already. I just always liked the more old school feel of thebore as a forum, with all the weird moderation decisions and all. Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

as usual the best solution seeks compromise

if for whatever reason filler and nintex were ever unbanned, just limit all their posting to the consensual lovemaking hidden forum

that way nintex could have his own personal US politics thread separate from the other one (assuming anyone actually uses it in his absence anyway)

Filler in particular was given more chances and sent more "please stop or you're going to get perm'd" messages than anyone else over the entire time I've been on this forum. 

I said this already- James would have been banned anyway for the comment he made about ZomGee's daughter in another thread.

Re: Discord.  Does this forum get talked about there?  Sure- the Discord also gets talked about here.  Did this have anything to do with what Rumbler did?  I don't think so, but I can't answer for him.  There's no "drama" going on, though.  Not everyone is exclusively on one or the other, either.  Plenty of folks are on both.

Bitching about anyone getting banned, for any length of time, is classic Bore though.

Look, we all know that a big chunk of the forum has been pretty crap for a while now and we all know a big part of the reason for that. So, with that I'm mind, I'm doing some things that will be in effect for the next 3 months.

1. Several posters will be banned. [if you have someone specific in mind and are wondering if they're included, the answer is "yes"]

Right, so if none of this came from discord, why was it the discord members started posting again a couple days before banhammer gate?

Why did Shosta straight away go gloating in the poli thread?

What the fuck? Like cool, you want to ban people it's your forum and your rules, but it's very off that magically at the same time discord members start piping up again.

I have no issues with discord members, but they've been AWOL for the best part of a year, then suddenly return to shit on people? Very cool guys. So mature.

Also I have respect for Bork, I dm'd him about the shit thread being cancelled and said it should at least have a place here as they don't want multiple threads about "Some dumb Reee poster" and it at least got moved.

What I don't understand is why Rumbler made such sweeping decisions to just flat out ban posters, when you've got HIMU posting all sorts of shit and gets slaps on the wrist.

I guarantee you it won’t even be half as active. You’ve gotta be pretty dense to not see that. A large part of the appeal was that it was a public thread. You’re both incompetent and have effectively kneecapped the most active thread in all of Bire.

Most people here hate that thread and want it gone.

It would be nice if those that want the shitbin thread gone could explain why they want that, and what it was about a single thread that they didn't have to enter that fucked them up so much.

I don't know if 'arrogance' is the right word, but I've never felt that I have the right to tell others to stop talking about things, just because I personally don't want them to talk about things, or want them to talk about things in a certain way prescribed by myself.

I do get that some things said in there were a bit sketchy if you wanted to pretend that everyone's perfect, but egregiously offensive statements seemed to get clipped by others in the thread naturally.

Right, so if none of this came from discord, why was it the discord members started posting again a couple days before banhammer gate?

Why did Shosta straight away go gloating in the poli thread?

I think it's that a lot of people find it overwhelmingly negative, dislike "gossiping" about people on another forum, or just think it's flat-out stupid.  But there is no mistaking that the thread's existence has driven people away from this board.

That would imply that I sleep, I don't know what that is :D. Again I don't have issues with discord people, I do however have issues with Shosta being a little bitch and gloating over a ban.

Anyway, I'm bored of this chat now. I'll fuck off back to the shit thread.

Here's my problem though: it's one thread on a message board. I'm not buying the negativity / stupidity because you simply don't need to click on that thread. If you're consuming that content, it's entirely on you.

Maybe the thread has driven people away from the board. I'd suggest that those people would've probably flapped their way out of the door if they read opinions they didn't like in threads they did approve of. If I were being a dick, I'd say 'fuck 'em'. If I were being charitable, I'd say that not everything is meant for everyone, so having to 'leave' a board is perfectly natural and not something that requires the board to change, when a user has already made the relevant change themselves.

The other thing I would say is that people on the 'very' left of the spectrum don't seem to appreciate that some people can still be resoundingly left whilst happily slaughtering sacred cows. There's an assumption that if you point to a subset of a demographic acting like cunts, you must be taking shots at the entire demographic. The old 'agree with me or you're alt-right' nonsense. That logic is wrong, simplistic, and should not be encouraged.

Ultimately, this isn't my community. These aren't my rules to uphold or my values to dictate. You cats do what you feel is best and let the chips fall where they may. I just hope that the 'winners' of this whole affair are considerably more valuable and gracious than that cat that ran straight into US politics to shitpost. Funnily enough, it's posters like that which have always made me feel unwelcome when I left the shitbin.

It’s kind of like when we had a few kiwi farmers shitting up the shit thread, people threatened to leave if they weren’t removed.  They were removed (rightfully so as they were just generally racist and homophobic), and the people threatening to leave did so anyway.  Those people who left because of the shitbin most likely aren’t coming back.  They moved on and found new places to chill.  Removing the shitbin isn’t going to magically transform this place into a utopia where everyone gets along and only posts fantastic content that the whole forum agrees with.

I am also going to lower / reverse the bans given. Slightly

If people want to come back and be dumbasses, then they get dealt with like dumbasses, like the people before them did

I do - there's a screenshot from the discord where it clearly states what they wanted to achieve. They wanted to disappear a group of posters on the bore. The way they wanted to do this was by removing the 'most problematic' people and then the others they don't like, they hoped to see just disappear through attrition after they killed the other forums thread. It's literally written in the screenshot in black and white, like a bad bond villain explaining his master plan.

Nintex was the most insufferable person to post here since Assimilate... not going to apologize for doing a big dance about it.

I don't feel any particular way about the other people who got banned but I think other people had real problems (like filler randomly posting anti-Semitism and James posting some creepy things on occasion).

Nintex was the most insufferable person to post here since Assimilate... not going to apologize for doing a big dance about it.

I don't feel any particular way about the other people who got banned but I think other people had real problems (like filler randomly posting anti-Semitism and James posting some creepy things on occasion).

If you want to really chat message me on discord, I really am not having a public fight with you, if you want just check your DM's here and I'm more than happy to have a chat with you.

I'm not being petty anymore in a public space, I've checked posting habits and a few disc members only came back when bans happened, yourself posted for the first time in three months to say LOL NINTEX.

Nintex maybe a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, but at least he stood by his distinguished mentally-challenged guns.

Regarding Nintex, you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him."

Did filler ever write a post longer than four words and giving likes?  :doge Not sure what the deal is. But anyone who isn't completely distinguished mentally-challenged can see that a place is better without Nintex, even if he technically didn't break any rules.

The only thing I know about James is that he's a pedophile, so I don't know why anyone would want him either. :brain

Turns out everyone saying “Discord is killing forums” was right, just not in the intended manner of that statement.  REE, GAF, OA, and now The Bire. So much drama, splintering, “leaving”, and schoolgirl gossip behind the scenes, largely by grown men in their 30s and 40s.

Benji-kun save us :existential

How is OA btw?

Completely taken over by racists, anti-vaxxers, and nutjob conspiracy theorists. It’s barely readable.

It's not mine to post. Anyone with access to that Discord can scroll back up and see what was said no doubt. (it's not like it was some massive secret - it was all talked about quite openly in a semi-public discord server).

Ugh, just fucking clip it. Posts can be deleted and then what. PM it to me as I'd honestly like to know, since any blame on the Discord's involvement in anything is frequently dismissed as speculation.

I don’t derive pleasure from posting on internet forums anymore. I won’t pretend I care about Nintex. I think most people here were smart enough to realize he was distinguished mentally-challenged, and maybe it was good to keep him here where he was harmless. Maybe being away will make him a better man. I think you guys place too much importance on how niche internet communities are governed :yeshrug

if 8bit reads this:

Thanks for letting me know, but I still think it was best for me to leave. I’m mostly left alone with my thoughts now, but I don’t feel subhuman after sharing something personal.

...I have no issues with discord members, but they've been AWOL for the best part of a year, then suddenly return to shit on people? Very cool guys. So mature.

...What I don't understand is why Rumbler made such sweeping decisions to just flat out ban posters, when you've got HIMU posting all sorts of shit and gets slaps on the wrist.

People that have been here 10+ years have left because the forum went to shit with losers like nintex and filler. Not saying they did anything "wrong" per se except a lot of the people that made this place what it was originally simply don't like them. HIMU has been here since the beginning, is friends with people. An icon of the forum, of course he gets a pass to an extent. Also yes, an incredibly frustrating character that has said some really nasty shit over the years. It's a small offshoot forum and some people want it to be "like it once was" before the hot take reactionary shite took hold.

What are people complaining about the other site thread getting less traffic because it's private now think they're getting at? Do you think Demi et al make money with the traffic to this place?

riotous got irrationally angry about dog mod posting a spoiler that actually wasn't a spoiler as a meme related to Dune :doge then started calling him a pedo. it's some of the pettiest shit i have ever seen on a forum lmao

Maybe for the sake of karmic balance and to soothe troubled brows there should be a thread where people can post nice things about Ree, or things Ree have posted they agree with. Such as -

Quote
What do you feel is overall the best beverage to have with dinner? Of course it can be meal-dependent, but if you had to pick one, which would you choose?

I'd go with milk. It pairs well with most foods, it dampens my reflux, and it's tasty.

I agree. Personally I'd rather have a cup of tea or a lager, but milk is fine too.

Great Rumbler? More like Great Tumblr.

i don't even know what that means. I'm just happy demi stepped in to reverse the bullshit. discord cliques and terminally online people who want to control others are the fucking worst. free nintex and free filler.
