The Official Psychoanalysis GAF Thread

[CajoleJuice]

Wasn't the Futbol-GAF massacre a Dragona Akehi joint?

no, it was Red Scarlet

[thisismyusername]

Wait, I missed the NBA-GAF drama: Could someone give a quickie summery about it?

As for my two cents that no one will give a damn about: SportsGAF is a bit "insular" and the mods give them wayyyy too much leeway than they normally would. I'd say a few other threads also get this leeway that some other communities/threads wouldn't. So a crackdown is a bit "much" insofar as kinda "needed" to make sure the members of those threads don't think they're all invincible because they post in a mod favorite thread where they can get away with murder a bit.

Also SportsGAF can be a bit "manbaby" at times (IMO!) like that one dude/"HockeyGAF" that wanted "Epic Tales of Penis" unbanned going totally apeshit on twitter when he himself got permabanned. Maybe it's because I'm not part of that protected/insular group but it's like "really, dude?"

NBA-GAF is only insular so much as we don't tolerate ignorant drive-by posters. We're also quick to call out bandwagon fans who obviously haven't watched the team all season pretending to be lifelong fans when their team makes the playoffs. Anyone who knows a thing or two about basketball will get along just fine.

The leeway you refer to is mainly an accepted level of trash talk that goes on between all of the posters. It's fine, IMO. The nature of sports fandom is trash talk.

Anything clearly over the line should result in a ban for that specific poster.

I honestly wouldn't know. Like I said, I'm not a part of those communities. It's just my opinion/view from any time I've seen the pop outside of their threads to gang-up on someone in another thread. I'm sure you guys are good guys and all that, but like I said: I feel you guys "get away with murder" a bit too much at times and it seems like the mods don't go "yeah, okay, knock that off" too often to where these crackdowns happen and then there is hurt butts and tears over it. 

Wasn't the Futbol-GAF massacre a Dragona Akehi joint?

Red Scarlett, wasn't it? Or am I thinking of another SportsGAF thread drama?

[Phoenix Dark]

The NBA-GAF mods foster a rather snappy environment which doesn't work outside of that thread. The same can be said of the GAF hip hop thread to a slightly lesser degree, with Blackace as the main mod there. We get away with stuff that wouldn't be tolerated anywhere else.

The difference is Blackace will actually give people short bans to kind of tell you "dude chill before we get busted" whereas the NBA mods basically let Ninjascooter and the gang run loose.

[DJ_Tet]

So anyone want to spell out what the hell happened or are you going to mexican hat dance around that shit for 5 more pages?

well i'm sure we'd rather yap about that than see another one of your butthurt evilore hate fuck posts

Then fucking do it or I'm going to tell you about how much of a fucking fagg0t Tyler Malka is

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Hell, I'm jealous of EviLore.  If I could make $300,000 a year from virgins and seldomlaids, I'd do it no question.  Bonus points if he can score some groupies just by running a fucking messageboard.

Give props when they're due, son.

[king of the internet]

Most bitter poster in this topic, The Experiment or DJ_Tet? Tough call.

[DJ_Tet]

He's got me beat, I'm just trolling trying to get fagg0t and Tyler Malka onto google search.  So far no luck.

I'd love to make that much scratch lording over a messageboard and 'hitting' on the hot women, are you kidding me?  I could do at least one of those better than that fagg0t Tyler Malka, too.

[DJ_Tet]

Most bitter poster in this topic, The Experiment or DJ_Tet? Tough call.

just bitter as I was banned w/o due process or any real cause.  but it's cool, I probably deserved it anyway.  At least he didn't make a public post about me like he did to jamesin818, at least that I ever saw.

Now more about these girls with huge tits that were stalked on gaf.

I wonder what koshiba is up to these days?  Has she given up all pretenses and went full out stripping or prostitution?

I know the last time she talked about her train wreck of a life, she was a cocktail waitress at a strip club.

[DJ_Tet]

WHERE'S MY TRIAL, EVI-CHAN

At least at SA they can link you to a post, or some behavior.

All I got was a vague stalking warning with a message that the authorities were notified.  The fuck outta here.


Anyway, enough about me.  I'm just trying to figure out what the fuck you guys were chattering about for four pages but wouldn't mention.  I've combed through the nba-gaf topic and can't find shit.

[Himu]

Well, if you are on SA, why do you care about a gaf ban

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Himuro, I got to give props to you for your avatar selection.

[DJ_Tet]

Couldn't care less about a gaf ban except that I can no longer look people up by their posts.  And I lost my subscriptions  :'( The reason I kept on with the Tyler Malka shit is for google and now that I know it annoys you, to troll you.

I feel bad about what I did.

I should been nice and understanding, and tell her that feeding off of attention from nerds on the internet is not going to make her problems go away, that getting thousands of dollars into debt for fake tits is going to escalate her problems, and that she should seek professional help as opposed to trying to gain e-attention.

I dunno. It feels wrong when it's so obvious that a bunch of dudes who just want to see some skin are enabling someone who obviously isn't right in the head doing damaging herself/himself even more because "he/she is so hawt and i have never seen a vagina/penis irl, hold me"

koshiba wasn't all that hot but she was aight

Is she who got stalked?

I would not feel bad.

The real bad people were the people feeding into her issues by following her around and enabling her behavior.  She needs serious psychiatric help (she even posted she was put away in a mental facility on Reddit) but GAF decided to enable her various issues because she had fake tits.

I think that is really low of them to do.  Fucking predators.

Which is why I laugh when people think you went on a tirade for other reasons.

You can't rationalize because she needs serious help.  There's only so much that people on the internet can do before trained professionals need to step in.

I hope she gets that help and can turn her life around.  I just know that people following her around in hopes that she gets her fake tits out is fucking vile and predatory.  Fuck them.

neogaf is nerd indoctrination. uninterested in participating in what could be an actual community and culture, the meek take solace in the fact that the board has so many posts that theirs will either a) drift off into a sea of sameness and unoriginality that will (at best) feed some idea of a collective consciousness, or b) make a post about a controversial (but arbitrarily acceptable) thread that makes four paragraphs out of two sentence's worth of farm team debate club logic.

all of this stems from the fact that the community itself knows that's it's too populist to handle anything that isn't absolute white bread or hides behind an unaware sense of importance.

A gaffer finally gets some pussy one night.

well of course I can't help her through the internet, but I'd like to at least try to tell her to stop whoring herself off like it's going to make her feel any better about herself.

[Momo]

why not just actually moderate the sports threads then instead of all of a sudden going HOLY SHIT LOCK THIS DOWN

what happened to NBA-GAF already happened to futbol-GAF

I posted in futbol-GAF. The mods were fucking distinguished mentally-challenged about that. If you don't understand that banter is part of football you need to gfto. We started a new forum, but I lost the link when i got banned (was in my pm box )

[Shadow Mod]

Devolution, you're alright.  Fuck the haters.

I gotta keep this mantra in my head to keep from letting stuff get too real.

What the hell happened to this thread

[Shadow Mod]

All I know about futbol is they throw bananas at black players in some countries.

[blame space]

it's why sports/mega threads get ruffled when new people show up: they've been able to carve out what is acceptable in their space and attack what they perceive as new or different appearing in a place they had learned to be safe. the longer a thread is allowed to exist (regardless of "official" status or stickiness, or either), the further its patrons become comfortable around the norms and community they've fostered.


The crux of the issue, though, is what makes a thread successful or unsuccessful. if a nerd on neogaf thinks something is even remotely outside of what the board has conditioned them to reply to, they do just that. Trolling is not a nuisance, but a constant witch hunt so obsessed with earnestness and face-value that its mob are given free reign to literally make ignorant posts. if something isn't apparent to you or you do not understand a thread, you are encouraged to not only post in this thread, but to post dogshit as quickly as possible.

[Momo]

You know how Manchester United fans are usually smug as fuck and gets trolled then counter troll? Banter. People thought those were actual arguments. :/ Mod ignorance basically, i'm pretty sure there is banter in the NFL threads, but because mods understand it they allow it. It's like shutting down F1GAF because people we're debating Hamilton heatedly.

[Momo]

Italy, all the stupid shit happens in Italy.

[Momo]

Well Spain has it's fair share of shit too, but Italy really.

[Momo]

Something like that as I recall. You know football ribbing doesnt go like that right?

[Himu]

i hate how mother fuckers always pretend to be injured in soccer.

christ. rugby is the far superior sport.

[Momo]

I played rugby and football(soccer). Preferred football since I broke 3 limbs playing rugby

That diving/flopping/pretending to be shot is something you can blame continental Europe for spreading through the game. I want to say the French started it, but they have far been surpassed by the rest of the world.

[blame space]

So basically like

"Rooney fucking sucks."
"You fucking suck. Van Persie is a fucking fairy."
"You're a goddamn moron. Van Persie is the best player in the Premier League."
"Arsene Wenger is a fucking pedophile, and we're going to kick your team's overrated ass."

Ban, ban, ban, ban?

the first response is key here. when the topic demands it, respect should be given to specific posts or statements; but contrary to moderation policy, not all topics do.

if you take a post as simple as "fuck [sports thing]" so seriously that your immediate reaction is to escalate to shit-throwing, you don't have anything more to say than they did. and it's not to say that childishness or silliness or bullshitting should be looked down upon or punishable, if anything it's the opposite: not everything needs to be taken personally or debated. Taking a bullshit comment seriously and escalating things shits up threads somuch more than the actual bullshit comments.

i guess its a good thing wrasslegaf is monthly and not sticky. all we have are old members pissed that things are different, or random dudes coming in telling you that they plan on informing a mod if something happens again. and i thought backseat modding was bannable...

[Shadow Mod]

I saw awesome-o post something about how some people come in only in playoffs, some posters tried to say I did this with the niners, when I didn't. Kind of pissed me off.

That complaint is only understandable for NBA. NBA regular season is too long and boring, and the best games are always during the playoffs.

Playoffs for NFL is like one & done and not even 3 games for some teams. I was there for the season watching the Niners pull some 1st half ineptitude most games then come out in the second looking like a whole diff team. But nope, butthurt dudes gotta act like I just showed the fuck up when we hit the playoffs.
