[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;52213861]I had the same thing on my ticky thingy. What is forum 33? we the people demand answers!
Ticker is pretty cool didn't realise it did this fancy quoted and mentioned stuff. Very useful gizmo[/QUOTE]
Forum 33 is the mod forum. And it was likely Kiwi either posting a list of names in a mod shitposting thread or otherwise utilizing some exploit I don't think ever got fixed that allows you to make a post and make the ticker mark everybody as mentioned in it cause I noticed I was randomly mentioned in the mod forum as well a little bit ago.
Forum 33 has something to do with pigs and that's all I can say about it.

[QUOTE=Beetle179;52213883]Facepunch "rules" have always been extremely vague, inconsistently enforced, and wildly open for interpretation. Even your recent bans: what rules was [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1563291&p=52212960&viewfull=1#post52212960]this user[/url] breaking? You closed [url=https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1563103]this guy's[/url] thread for "furry shit" but I don't remember ever seeing a rule that furry content wasn't allowed. People are banned for posting subjectively unfunny pictures in LMAO pics because "not an LMAO pic" (a lot of times it's just some dumb racist meme trash, but it's not always so offensive).
So no, no one can ever point to any rules Tudd is breaking, because the rules are minimalistic and the rest is just "use common sense". The reality is just that Tudd is a problem user that only causes, and thrives off of, drama. That's his only contribution -- he doesn't put effort into his debates (incidentally, this is touched on in the Polidicks rules sticky). He's just trolling and baiting at this point, riding his meme status, if you ask me, and that does not a good forum user make.[/QUOTE]
To add onto this:
If it's all really about people getting bothered about another user's opinions, as mods claim... then why has nobody else ever complained about similar opinions or articles posted by other users in this thread?
Because unless I'm missing something in Facepunch user history, there's no reason to believe that Tudd would be treated differently by anyone over his politics. :/

i appreciate the offer but i think you should make arc mod instead of me. He's worked harder, deserves it more and has more popular demand.

Unless "SJW liberal immigrant upturns garbage bin" counts as a defense, I wouldn't hold your breath.

I mean it's pretty obvious why these people would get banned, do I have to really explain it? We hand these out like candy to people that seem they're about to blow their top and break actual forum rules.

You been here for 7 years and you have no idea why we ban/lock furry topics and posts? I know it's rare ban by now, but It is guaranteed people will derail a thread over furry content, so just retroactively close threads about it or ban people posting it. Even if the judgement call for furry stuff to be removed is lost, it's always consistent furry threads go to shit - became commonsense to me at least.
About "not a LMAO pic" I'm hoping people realize they should be posting things that are funny to others and not just them. That should be how to avoid that ban. No ones being banned solely because a mod thinks the picture is only unfunny. I hope not but I wouldn't blame them, modding LMAO pics sucks. You need to post a specific example or you get the generic "it was probably really unfunny and didn't belong there" answer.
I get it though, none of these are on the rules page and the actual explanation / First judgement ruling on why they're banned in the first place are probably lost somewhere. All these judgement calls are by memory, I'm sorry they're not perfect. being "extremely vague, inconsistently enforced, and wildly open for interpretation" for old/unwritten rules is the best you're going to get on a forum on the internet. None of those bans happen without Mod Discretion which should always has a reasonable explanation baked into it before banning, so just asking us why shouldn't be a problem.

We can ban for taking the piss, trolling, baiting, drama, all of that and more. The problem is you fucks have elevated Tudd meme status so high it has become impossible to tell if hes doing that or not. Tudd really doesn't have to move a centimeter to get people mad, and that is squarely your fault. Mod Discretion doesn't even work here, in fact to ban him now would only be of mob rule / personal.
Since we have a grid lock and it might seem someone is taking advantage of it, only a new rule or judgement call can get that fixed. Restricting a user on where to post isn't the answer either.
There was a while where it was very clear that Tudd was shitting out right-wing propagandist nonsense left and right, but ever since he hit that controversy and 'meme status' it seems like he's been diversifying his... resume. I see more threads that seem, well, normal than I used to. So I can see how if you missed what he was up to before he got his 'meme status.' I can understand how it's hard to tell if he's really worth banning or just a witch hunt.
The problem I've always had with Tudd, and still have to a degree, is that half the damn threads in Popular or at the top of Sensationalist Headlines (and now Polidicks - I really like this change btw and kudos to whichever mod came up with the change) were Tudd threads that seemed like they were baiting controversy. His replies in the threads always seemed like trolling to me, but he could just be stupid and I don't think being stupid is a bannable offense. It really seems like he's still threadshitting and that doesn't lead to a good user experience, which is why so many people are probably complaining (besides the content, but I think that's a political issue and not worth banning over).
The problem, as you said, is that he's hit 'meme status' and it's increasingly hard to tell if the large amount of Popular Tudd threads is because he's threadshitting or if it's simply because it's Tudd's threads are so controversial just by the virtue of being his threads that they end up there.
[editline]11th May 2017[/editline]
Actually, while I'm on the subject for praises about the separation of Polidicks from Sensationalist Headlines, I'm so glad this happened.
Originally ratings were removed from SH because you mods deemed puns to be cancer to the subforum, which I can agree to an extent, but what followed is that people just changed the thing they were fishing for. Less "funny" news and more political news is what followed and people now tried their hardest to cause controversy in this new format. Human beings, to me, are very simple creatures that at our most basic levels thrive on drama and attention, so by making that change there was no way the awful posting would go away, it would just shift to something else. That's what I argued back when the change was made, and I honestly feel vindicated now. This is the environment which birthed the whole Tudd meme.
Now with the separation, we can have the shitty 'serious political ra ra ra' nonsense and also have the easy-going more entertaining news back. People have an incentive to post stuff that fishes for ratings, as shallow as that sounds it's honestly the truth.

Of the top 11 threads, 4 of them have the humor icon, and one of the others has a bunch of funnies (also, oh hey some of them are Tudd threads [although they're still fishing for controversy{side-side note: Judas is essentially Liberal Tudd at this point}]). Almost half of the last replied in threads for the section are light hearted now. This is what I remember the section being in the past, rather than mostly-political grobbling nonsense that filled the section when ratings were disabled or just stars.
You may think of this as silly, but I legitimately think it improves the user experience here.
Not a suggestion or anything, but there was a 24 hour period where nobody got permabanned and that hasn't happened in a few years I think. Thought it was interesting.

I need clarification here, because this is what I'm getting from this post.
You can't tell if Tudd is taking the piss, trolling, baiting, or causing drama because... people made him a meme and/or overreacted?
