The transparency was a flat out fucking lie, and was dropped from almost the first day.

You're just an ad revenue stat to this place.

For all the talk about this being a safe space for people is a fucking joke (the biggest one of all) as the admin are far too concerned with optics from the off-site places of all things.

Constantly pulling the "clean slate" for people who just go of-site and just laugh and laugh how they're constantly given another chance. And flat out say they're going to make trouble, and yet nothing happens.
And the only reason those people are kept it, is for the numbers. Cause it's all about the $$$ baby.

I'm still genuinely hurt by my banning when opening up about being afraid of being doxxed. And then, AND THEN. The staff fucking mock me publicly.

This place was created by white feminists, for white feminists.

You need to speak in specifics, because this is really vague. What is it you specifically expect when it comes to the notion of transparency? That is going to mean different things to different people, some of them doable, some of them not. Almost everyone is going to agree with the general notion that transparency=good, just saying it doesn't really present any specific problem to be addressed, and oftentimes threads like this just become a general pile-on of re-litigating old threads or discussing a general sense of malaise.

I've been banned 9 times, but only warned 3.

Apparently. The staff don't know what a warning is, when it comes to me.

bitch, do you really not see you get lenient treatment that youre still posting after 9 fucking bans?

Shy continually posts like an asshole and will never be permanently banned.

I take back ever thinking unbanning KetKat was a bad idea, TVC you were right that it would lead to a slow boil.

Y'all know an incident Manager is just a entry IT person right?

Sorry Hobbes, you are the hero in my heart

What is an Incident Manager?

Working in the area of information technology, an Incident Manager is essentially responsible for the upkeep and smooth operations of IT systems. They oversee all aspects of the incident management process, from evaluation to resolution. An Incident Manager records all issues and helps to design ways to prevent similar problems in the future. He or she will manage technical support teams, create procedures to deal with problems and develop solutions.

Incident Managers are employed in IT departments across all industries. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment growth for computer and information systems managers, including Incident Managers, will be 15 percent through 2024. Continued upgrades to newer computer systems and increased reliability on the operation of systems by all industries are major reasons for this expected growth.

Moderators here, for the most part, are literally fending off a hoard at the gates. I’ve been helped out numerous times by them directly. I’ve eaten some bans early on for being extremely harsh towards fascist dickheads, but moderation has since adjusted to the ever changing and frankly terrifying hot hell we are currently living in.

Once again, a bunch of egotistical asshats come into the thread and claim everyone else hijacked the era trans communities concerns. It's always about them.

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.

Being under the legal limit for BAC does not prevent you from being too impaired to drive or from receiving a DUI. It's a single one-size-fits-all standard so it's more difficult to challenge in court, it is not at all medically chosen.

Especially when combined with other drugs. If you're Nepenthe's size and take something like ambien with your glass of wine because you're an idiot there's a good chance you won't even know where the fuck you are let alone be able to operate the motor vehicle you have 83 months left on your loan for.

Yeah that "roofie" thread is nuts. Strong edibles are just as bad as booze. Someone gave me a dozen cookies once and I had 2 and asked if it was like 20mg per cookie and proceeded to tell me it was 1g for the batch and I strapped myself in bed and watched F is for family. I remember seeing the show in 2.5D and my short term memory stopped at 10 seconds at a certain point where I would laugh at jokes and as I'm still laughing not remember the joke anymore. My face was sore from laughter. Who the fuck eats edibles and then waits 30 minutes and starts driving.

[benjipwns]

By the way, Brock Reiher's ban has finally been set to a duration of one week.
...For a post he made seven days ago, so does that mean he's gonna get unbanned in like a few hours, or the twenty-eighth?

Should be in a few hours. I don't know the exact time however as the ban system is a bit finicky in regards to time zones.

Meanwhile:

User banned (duration pending): History of hostility towards members and staff, posting private messages with other users as a personal attack

Called it!

I'm going to pin this ScribbleD post to my new tab page and check it daily now. I'd have to check the Mod Admiral records but ten days is definitely up there at the longest a duration has been pending. Especially since both the only other two people in the kerfuffle not only had "mass" movements to undo their ban but are back posting on the site by now.

Wait did the staff really try to minimize driving while high, so high you couldn’t tell that the drugs you took were making you high? Because they thought only alcohol counted against you?

I just see the rules not applied uniformly. Example:

-Thread 1: Poster A calls Poster B a "fucking douchebag idiot".
Result: Poster A banned

-Thread 2: Poster C calls Poster D a "fucking douchebag idiot".
Result: No ban. No warning. Despite the post being reported. Poster C continues to namecall for several more pages.

The rules need to be clear, and followed up on without bias. I've noticed it a lot and for a while. It's only gotten worse.

Protected users probably reporting the shit out of that thread by now, look at all these posts made in bad faith.

So I’m at university. I’m an introvert, I don’t make friends easily. I don’t often share classes with the same people, and so it’s difficult to make a social base. But you try to be like, pleasant right? Like there’s no point in being a dick to people you don’t know well.

But I know a guy in one of my seminars, not well, but well enough, have him on WhatsApp. And he messaged me and he said he has to talk to me about something. Long and the short, the rest of the class, I don't know if it’s all of the class, have a group chat, that I wasn’t aware of, and they frequently make fun of me in it, like all the time. Someone even made some poor quality memes of me.

i don’t even know what I’m supposed to do about this. I’m 26 years old, I feel too old to go running to the teacher about being picked on. I don’t really want to confront them, cos that’s just embarrassing given they apparently think so little of me. And I really don’t want to do what I’ve done with college and access courses before and drop out and waste more of my fucking life sitting round doing nothing. But I’m not a machine, it does hurt my feelings, even if it’s a bunch of people I don’t know well.
