How is banning for abuse of a forum feature hypocrisy?
[QUOTE=Craptasket;52655079]How is banning for abuse of a forum feature hypocrisy?[/QUOTE] no I mean the banning for caring but then also banning for spamming which is only there because people get mad from caring Gwoodman explained it away now but oh well I still like to think of this place as very fucked up
making my head hurt
its just the 'cares about ratings' thing really, having a bitch about it or not adding to discussion and focusing solely on ratings makes sense but if someone edits their post to say 'hey what's dumb?' or 'hey what's funny?' or 'hey how's this late?' (i don't really see bans for the latter two though), i really don't think it's harmful especially considering everyone can still completely ignore it and it did nothing to fuck the thread (bump it or creates posts solely for it) idk, my two cents, i guess it's just something that really bothers me, the whole 'use it to convey opinion but don't care about it but also don't spam it' which to me really doesn't make sense [editline]7th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Gwoodman;52655054]spamming to provoke others as a troll[/QUOTE] i mean yeah i agree, but then shouldn't the people complaining be banned for caring about the troll rating them, then? i guess semantically that doesn't make sense if 1 is a. don't care and 2 is b. don't spam (because people care) that's all i have to say for now lmao i feel like i've hijacked the thread about ratings but i guess this is forums discussion soo
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52655131]Well to make things clear. You won't get banned for saying something like this. "why is this post wrong" You will get banned for saying something like this "omg why was i RATED DUMB" You have to be careful with how you ask it. Don't come off as obnoxious.[/QUOTE] This is probably the best conclusion to this ratings malarkey, I think that's fair and is generally what people want
would someone get banned for saying 'why is this post dumb'? vs 'why is this post wrong'? like is it bad to directly reference the rating or..
I think people sometimes use the dumb/disagree ratings interchangeably, so it's probably better to assume someone has disagreed with you (or thought your post was "wrong"), so I'd say just ask why it's wrong. You're there to take part in the discussion, rather than to wonder why someone thinks you're dumb
If my understanding is correct, reaction pictures are only allowed if the picture has been created solely for a specific response, in other words, not something grabbed online, correct?

[QUOTE=da space core;52655209]If my understanding is correct, reaction pictures are only allowed if the picture has been created solely for a specific response, in other words, not something grabbed online, correct?[/QUOTE] If you nab a still from a video or use an image from an article from the OP or in the thread, and use it as an image marco or reaction image youre ok Still counts as a post so putting an annoying meme on it doesnt bypass the rules
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52655085]I'm toying with the idea of changing the definition so cares about ratings can still exist but it requires the user to actually embarrass and [B]thread shit rather than just edit a post.[/B] If that user can't understand why because they're that ignorant then it's threadshitting and regardless and could also fall wishing cares about ratings still There is a level of irony, always has been but I think we can change the definition. I've asked about it and we'll start discussing it.[/QUOTE] That's how it should've been to begin with especially since they're meant to replace the "I agree", "this is dumb", etc posts, replying "Well why?" to one of those wouldn't be bannable, but the second it's a 16x16 icon it's suddenly something that's bannable. Wondering why people think something is funny/dumb/late/optimistic shouldn't be bannable, especially if it was on topic and wasn't going to distract from the thread.
[QUOTE=Kiwi;52655256]画像マクロ!!!![/QUOTE] Wtf I thought this was an English forum
Okay so I've just read about 11 pages / 400 replies whilst ill with the flu or some shit. I haven't replied to everybody because I don't want to restart old debates but feel free to reply to me asking questions [QUOTE=AtomicSans;52632580]the FP steam group has been undead for years now[/QUOTE] I will revive it [QUOTE=Swebonny;52632966]When does mod riddles come back -_-[/QUOTE] As fun as it was, it was too much work and we've lost CosmicDuck and Hexxeh who were the driving forces behind it. [QUOTE=Genericenemy;52633398]Not surprising Pentium gets a lot of shit here, the attitudes towards mental health on this forum are fucking disgraceful. When people think its OK to refer to people as "autists" or use "reeee" and Autistic screeching memes among various other shit and it really compromises in my opinion that this forum is quite progressive. Its hard enough to deal with mental health on your own, its even more difficult when you feel like your being judged.[/QUOTE] This is the internet. We poke fun at things, I very rarely see any posts that are genuinely malicious against people with MH issues. FP has been (and as far as I know, is currently) a bastion for people with MH issues. We've been a vital support network in a lot of people's lives and I have personally been involved in at least 5 (probably more) interventions that have prevented people from committing suicide after they've posted about it. [QUOTE=sam6420;52633981]Help I'm being bullied on an internet forum through ratings trolling! [editline]31st August 2017[/editline] Make it stop!!!![/QUOTE] Crafty [QUOTE=hexpunK;52634186]That was a few years ago now if I recall. Back when some of the GMF were borderline untouchable because the rules in general were weirdly enforced. Shit I only posted there a few times and I'm sure I got away with shit I probably wouldn't have now. But views do change over time. And a lot of the more outright toxic members from that time are banned, left the forum, or fucking dead. The forum has changed a lot since I've been here too. I remember being gay was still a weird fucking thing on here for a while, but as everywhere else made progress so did this forum. Mainly as the users grew up, it's worth remembering that a lot of the regular users here have been here for close to a decade (give or take) by this point.[/QUOTE] If I recall correctly, I banned quite a lot of people who were being transphobic towards Lithifold. He got quite a lot of abuse when he came out because he was a moderator. They thought it was safe to do it in the GMF but it wasn't.

Also quick update with the Community Fund I am in the process of farting about with Paypal. Once that is done I will be putting the relevant thread up

so ok i'm hearing about this community fund and such and i'm seeing all these people with lit af titles, how the hell are they getting it? i don't see a community fund/title store or w/e anywhere

All the titles that people have currently were either given by us, paid for with the old system, or given by someone else who paid under the old system.
regardless i can't tell if you can put in your own custom CSS or images or something but they look fuckin' rad

[QUOTE=sam6420;52656435]I'll donate 100$ to the facepunch community fund for "ban animeshit" for one month, please.[/QUOTE] Can we get sgt doom to approve this, thanks
If we buy a title with the community fund thing, will that transfer to newpunch? I want to make sure that my great grandchildren don't get ripped off when newpunch is finished and they try to access it through my account, which will have passed down through my family from one generation to the next.
i dont think custom titles are even gonna be a thing for newpunch. i cant remember what was said exactly, just that was the whole reason I started that batch of new custom titles a year or so ago, because i figured 'why not' since i thought it was all about to get purged anyways. but who knows that may no longer be true.
is there something wrong with Hezzy? he literally posted a porn gif on the fp discord [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Leaking GMF content" - Hezzy))[/highlight]
