I like the fact resetera can now determine the BAC level of a user over the internet.

uhhhh

OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATION The timeline of events as laid out by the OP and reaffirmed by other members, as well as a determination by another member in the thread that the OP's BAC was too low to break the legal threshold in America, means we do not believe the OP posed a serious threat to other drivers on the road. Furthermore, the OP has agreed that his decisions were reckless. Ultimately, we do not condone driving under the influence; anyone who wants to criticize and/or educate the OP for driving home after having consumed edibles is free to do so. Continued hostility towards the OP will be moderated as such.

good job 'determining' being so fucking high you think you've been roofied didn't break the legal blood alcohol test limits, so therefore isn't that bad, and maybe not a 'serious' threat to other drivers - again, being so fucking high they think they've been roofied - that you'll ban members for calling them out on it for 'hostility'.

Nepenthe: The OP is my friend and says they only had exactly two drinks and stayed exactly two hours.  Maths says they were fine.  Case closed because people who drive drunk never lie.

[Potato]

Who is the OP and what protected group do they belong to?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Can we get a stickied topic for "Killed By DUIs Day", or does it look bad that that number is really fucking high compared to certain other "killed by ____" topics and giving it a pass for just living their best life because who hasn't got real fucking high then driven home and if you get stopped its ACAB?

Like an hour later I feel immensely weird.and for a good hour I'm just out of it. Low inhibitions, time moving slowly, etc.

No, not a threat at all. Just fine.

REEEsetera mods excusing driving under the influence.

Neopetenthe should be denutted over this. This is categorically one of the worst and most dangerous things that the mods have ever done.

[HaughtyFrank]

Mods laying down some very clear "sometimes it's okay to tell members to fuck off sometimes it isn't" rules

[Pissy F Benny]

Acab has always come across as some dweeb shit to me tbh. I personally park outside my local police station and play fuck tha police loudly on repeat 

[ShutUp]

Ban people for calling someone a fucking piece of shit who says they felt weird and out of it, but still drove a vehicle anyways.

Which mod are they fucking?

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Mods laying down some very clear "sometimes it's okay to tell members to fuck off sometimes it isn't" rules

you're allowed to tell people to fuuucckkkkkkk offfffofffff when its about things that people are. literally. dying. over. like suggesting maybe a trans athlete has a competitive advantage, but not when its trivial shit like selfish reckless endangerment of others or potentially contributing to the leading cause of driving fatalities.

c'mon man, pay attention, its not like they're just making this shit up as they go along, they have a whole team and guidelines and a secret discord and everything

[ShutUp]

Numerous people calling out Nepenthe for that mod post. They'll probably all be banned.

[NegativeCrepe]

they are happy they finally have a reason to get rid of nepenthe

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

if I was royalan id be dropping screengrabs of sabrinas texting while driving history of istories for revenge

[ShutUp]

Damn, people are going to town on that mod post. I'm assuming Nepenthe will be removed from mod status?

Lol almost finished that sentence without chuckling. They'll lock the thread and try to bury it.

[Cauliflower Of Love]

as well as a determination by another member in the thread that the OP's BAC was too low to break the legal threshold in America

what a bunch of fucking losers




nepethene getting fucking dragged

[conradcervantes]

They better bury Nepenthe's stupid ass, that dumb motherfucker.

[ShutUp]

You can call out OPs behaviour without the entirety of your post being “fuck you OP you piece of shit”

Person they are replying to literally said they had two friends killed due to someone driving under the influence. But oh no, the clearly protected member had their fee fee's hurt from mean words.

[benita]

Wow. Someone points out that MJ was never convicted or that they listen to Joe Rogan - go buck wild with the hostility.

Someone drives home under the influence of drugs - let's just back off mmmkay?

Fuck you nepenthe you imbecile.

 

[ShutUp]

Hope everyone dragging Nepenthe/moderation doesn't give up when the thread is locked. Drag these pieces of shit over multiple threads if need be.

[FStop7]

“I got roofied” guy ate some pot brownies and freaked out, lmao. Admits to driving home and under the influence, but bad joke guy is still banned.

Mods have tripled down and gone full DUI Defense Force. That's a hard yikes, over.

[Hermit]

Hey everyone, apologizes for the oversight. We've added this as an addendum to the previous staff post.

[STAFF]Addendum: It has been pointed out that driving while under the influence of weed can still lead to a DUI and is still dangerous. This is a fair point and we apologize for the oversight -- this wasn't okay. The OP has acknowledged wrongdoing so please keep the discussion constructive to help him and others avoid this mistake.[/STAFF]

lmao

Quick doxx google search tells me nepenthe has a problem with dui checkpoints.

Imagine having to edit your staff posts from other staff.   

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Mods all you had to say was "cool it with the overly aggressive attacks" not come up with this BS about how you were able to magically determine they were safe to drive despite being so zonked on edibles and alcohol they thought they were roofied

 

you know, i'm beginning to think this nepenthe character may be kind of terrible at their job

[ShutUp]

"This is a fair point" - no, it's the only point actually.

[ShutUp]

I jumped on the mod post as being a little, if not a lot iffy but I think it was probably meant in good faith as a way to not create a dogpile on the OP - just very misguided and hasty!

That being said no need to go all cancel culture on the mod team either.

Won't someone please think of the OP who chose to drive home after drinking and eating an edible!

Also, going all cancel culture on a mod was perfectly fine earlier this week.

ALSO I thought cancel culture didn't exist as written by ERA Law? 

[ShutUp]

People still shitting on the mods after they sent someone else because Nepenthe is too much of a bitch to face the heat 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I haven’t seen anyone calling for cancel culture in this thread.

Mod made a dumb post, admin apologized. All that’s left is to reverse the bans and just issue warnings like they should’ve done in the first place.

Like I said earlier, it’s real simple.

yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh...

we're just gonna go ahead and lock this up as unproductive instead

[ShutUp]

John Woo has jumped on the criticize Marvel train. Time to say that, like that bum Scorsese, Woo hasn't made anything of note in his career like the greats directing Marvel movies.

How is Neph okay with driving while high but not eating in her new car that she paid way too much for?

Wow lol

How can I apply to be a mod? They seem to let anyone be one these days.

Why did this even warrant a staff post? Is OP friends with the mod team?

"They're gonna stop attacking OP if I make a dumb ass post!" Taphead.gif

Calling the guy a piece of shit? Yeah, I suppose I could understand the argument that that's too harsh. But one guy just said "single digit IQ" and I'm shocked that that is the level of hostility worth banning over.

Not even gonna touch the "we've determined he was good to drive" nonsense.

It’s a touchy subject so just say “cool it with the insults” and give warnings to the offending posts and don’t make a stupid post.

It’s real fucking simple.

What a ridiculous mod post.

Glad to know our mods were on the scene!

The silent majority is slowly awakening to the shitshow that REEEsetera is, but a steady stream of bans will soon put them in their place.

Neopetenthe.  Is. Clearly. Not.   Fit.   To. Be. A. Mod.

Hahaha holy shit what a wonderful thread.

[Lactose_Intolerant]

Now they are trying to get the people unbanned because it is ok to insult people as long as a family member of yours was hit by a drunk driver

[stufte]

I'm good with insulting people who have a high disregard for the lives of others.

[ShutUp]

You deserve to be insulted if you get behind the wheel of a vehicle after drinking and eating an edible.

[Pissy F Benny]

I thought being against drunk/drugged up drivers was one of those things pretty much everyone was against 

[Potato]

When is Hobbes unbanned? I would really appreciate his insight into this and how the mods have again fucked up and really need an incident manager.

[Potato]

I mean, people can call you a piece of shit with impunity for expressing all sorts of unpopular opinions.

But if you ACTUALLY pilot a guided missile under the influence of drugs, we've gotta put the kiddie gloves on?

Getting very close to discussing protection of "prominent members" here. I sense a thread lock coming soon.

I mean, site precedent is that it's fine to get dogpiled and called a piece of shit for not liking Ghostbusters 2016 so to come in hot and heavy with the 'hostility' bans for calling someone who could have easily killed or maimed people through their own selfish thoughtlessness an irresponsible piece of shit is gonna raise eye brows amongst what normies are left, yeah.

Everyone knows it is wrong.
I don't think you have to call people pieces of shit for it after they realized they done fucked up and apologized.  But maybe that is just me.

Apologies aren't going to bring back whoever they hit though, so maybe you are right.

Mods are idiotic and have no power it's hilarious.

Nah fuck em. Throw them in the same shit basket as anti-vaxxers and people who text and drive.

[Nintex]

I only take 1 beer tops if I have to drive myself.
Which is the legal limit but I only do that if I also had a decent meal and won't have to go out and drive for another hour or so.

Drinking and driving is fucking stupid

Whenever I drive I only take 1 beer tops.

I always end up in a weird place when it comes to authoritarianism. I value criticizing it for its failings (cop things among others) and a fervent extolling of order.

Leads to the weirdest compromise with bossy robocops when I try and work it out.

[who is ted danson?]

Making someone as dumb as nepenthe a mod was a huge fuckin mistake 

lol @ ah shit i've been roofied! let me get in my car and drive it off!

[Nintex]

I'm in the camp that says OP was never roofied and just a little drunk for the first time in their pitiful existence.

[Potato]

Mod hits just keep coming...

Lmao, what the hell at whichever mod came in fists swinging like that. Of course it's an OFFICIAL STAFF POST MUST READ and not, I don't know, their personal determination. The hamfisted mod abuse on this site is getting out of hand tbh. When you guys make these OFFICIAL statements like a fucking government agency, how many of the mods actually sign off on it? Because how the hell did multiple mods think something like that was ok to post?

...do you think maybe the mods are not exactly up to the task Herr Cereal?




Edit: maybe suitability for modship shouldn't be determined based on skin colour, sexual orientation, gender fluidity, list of disabilities, list of mental health problems and income in that order.

Hi guests lol

[Tripon]

i dont read this thread but had to come here when i saw that have i been roofied thread where the fucker admits he was DUI and the people calling him out are getting banned

and then mods somehow determine he wasn't a threat to others when he drove home so its all gucci

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

It's okay. (She's high)

So it feels like the recent push for more protection for minority posters is being extended to everyone including shitty people and idk about that. It should be fine to call a piece of shit a piece of shit if they post about being a piece of shit, not every post has to conductive or facilitate conversation. In fact I'm pretty sure most people if told by someone in real life that they they drove under the influence would respond with something to the likes of 'wow, you're a piece of shit' so I dunno why the it would be different for someone online.

After the ridiculous debacle just a few days ago and clearly nothing has changed in terms of the mods swinging their power around with impunity, I think there really needs to be an open conversation on moderation among ALL THE USERS of the site. And honestly can you guys quit it with the whole faceless "WE HAVE DEEMED THIS OFFENCE ACTIONABLE. SEE STAFF POST." vibes you send out? It makes this place so cold and hostile sometimes.

How are you getting this take out of this thread

The bac thing was dumb from the mods, they owned up to it and dropped it, are you actually gonna say they were swinging power with impunity because a few posters rightfully got banned for insults that went over the line? it's entirely possible to criticize op for driving under the influence without the insults and tons of people in this thread did so without getting banned

mmmm boot licking
