[QUOTE=Reds;52617220]See, the thing that people haven't seemed to figure out yet is that if you tell somebody that you find something they're doing annoying, they will immediately suddenly decide that it's the funniest thing in the world and triple down on it and go out of their way to do it as much as possible. Complaining about that only intensifies it and prolongs it.[/QUOTE]
So treat the mods doing it like you'd treat a 3 year old? Sounds about right.

man I'm really annoyed that people can become gold members, like what the fuck. I'd just be insanely annoyed if I were to become a gold member right now
[QUOTE=TheJoker;52616872]Don't be an ass. It's a constant battle because you can change one pixel and I'll have to block it again[/QUOTE]
What do you mean? If they keep changing it, you just need to trim the filter a bit. Instead of this:
[code]
||facepunch.com/image.php?u=579009&dateline=1503781411
[/code]
do this:
[code]
||facepunch.com/image.php?u=579009
[/code]
This filter will block Mezzokoko's avatar no matter how many times he/she changes it.

Make an alt and never post outside of fast threads and you can be an unwashed blue for life.

People who do that are dicks.
[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;52616931]ive already posted my thingy that i use to block an*me avatars, but you can also select stuff like this:
[code]img[title="Reagy's Avatar"][/code]
if you want to make a userstyle yourself
put a display: none in there and youve filtered any avatar they have forever[/QUOTE]
Can also use this:
[CODE].user_344802 .avatar_image, /*Tudd*/
.user_42774 .avatar_image { /*UncleJimmema*/
max-height: 160px !important;
}[/CODE]
Though this specific code limits it to a max height of 160px instead of not displaying it. Still results in posts being far smaller though:

I've been browsing without avatars for a while now, and I prefer it honestly. I keep all avatars blocked just by using the VBulletin settings for it. It actually helps with the problem I had beforehand which lead me to blocking avatars: not remembering who people are. There were a lot of people that were changing their avatars way too frequently and I couldn't remember who was who. :(

How about telling Jemima to stop shitposting as well or is there some reason that isnt happening.
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("You were warned about your behaviour - take a day out" - Hezzy))[/highlight]
because then all the mods that are shitposting would have to stop for it to be fair.

Like that will happen.
Let's all remember the"'hey hows it hanging" visitor message.
I feel two ways about this situation
On one hand y'all take this forum way too seriously, it's crazy how bent out of shape you guys get over the same dramas over and over again, at least get mad over something new for a change
On the other I think that the mods honestly act a bit childish to a point where it's unbecoming. It comes across as petty and juvenile in the worst possible way. I know fp has never been a place of professionalism and I don't expect that, but it feels like the mods can be some of the worse shitposters on the site from time to time which really isn't a good look

What's wrong with people wanting to not see dogshit posts that they can't do anything about?
[QUOTE=Tomo Takino;52617642]What's wrong with people wanting to not see dogshit posts that they can't do anything about?[/QUOTE]
I've just become numb to it really, we've gone through this exact cycle of drama multiple times now (with the avatars, poor mod behavior, etc.) and I know full well at this point that it won't go anywhere significant. It'll die down and be forgotten in a day or two because in the end, some unsavory posts on a forum isn't going to be a significant enough motivator to pursue any real change even if it was desired by most. We'll be back to arguing about Tudd's place on fp again within a month or two as soon as we get tired of one piece of outrage for the next. That's just how this thread has functioned for months on end, although it has been punctuated by some cool stuff from time to time.

The counter-point to the mods faffing around is going to be something like "oh it's just a lark, this isn't anything serious", but if you ask me, that reflects even worse. They can't stop being mad petty over the most benign and inconsequential requests and instead have doubled down on the "we are mods and can do what we want" card. Judging by the ratings and replies they're getting the moment, it's pretty evident that they're not handling it as well as they probably want, and that's a precedent to how they're going to be trusted to act towards future, more serious events where their moderator power is actually justified. In other words, why should someone have any reason to think that a person who abuses their power for fun will suddenly see the light and act properly when their power is actually needed?
Pascall is excepted from all this, of course. Probably the only green name in this thread that hasn't said something stupid again and again.
I do my best!
I'm also very tired like 99% of the time!
i like to have a title
The whole mods shitposting thing is all well and good until you remember that they're banning people for the same shit
This thread just blew up!

Reminder that Hezzy had given out asinine titles to people who dared to speak to him about this while posting about how people shouldn't be rude and condescending.

The story of Alice3173's current title is a really good example of mods being petty, actually.

I think people just don't respond well to hypocrisy in a lot of ways
It'll all blow over and I don't think it's worth caring about but it's still silly to see

Same guy that wants people to pay to change titles and avatars of other people.
Really makes you think of why, hmm.
