Sincerely appreciate this. Rock on.

And we're now being told that the site has a "toxic culture", by the same people who allowed this shit to go on for so long.

Make it make sense.

I'm honestly not sure if I've ever interacted with you before, but having read the things you've posted over the last few days, I sincerely hope you stick around.

deliberately misreading a good faith attempt to address how toxic some of the site culture has always been and how rising cynicism had made it worse.

The way I see it, it was more that there weren't really any attempts made at explaining what the last part of this sentence actually means. Plenty of people did sincerely ask for clarification, and got basically nothing beyond "this is bad because we've decided it's bad" or "go look at the modlog".

And when you say that things have actually gotten worse, I genuinely do not understand that because I don't share that impression. It's perfectly possible that I should, but it would have to actually be explained to me why.

Yeah, that shit is uncalled for.

So you say something like, "This seems kind of unfair and vague to me, but I'm curious to know more about why you feel this way, and I would like to talk to you about it."

People did basically say this though, but only got back "go look at the mod log". Which obviously doesn't resolve anything.

I think you laid it out nicely, it sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous.

Pretty sure the alts have already been banned, what people are wondering is if the user who created them is going to be dealt with or not. The user is supposedly a mod.

Edit: Never mind, didn't see your reply further down.

Oh-bamna!

Turns out that comm is cool and good because the most prolific poster over there is a good friend of the admins.

Funny how that works.

which we think is toxic and boring

Who exactly is "we", and why should what you think matter to the rest of us?

Hell yeah, we freaky and proud of it

Alaskaball remains the one good mod.

I'm unironically concerned they might kill the site

At this point it kinda looks like they're actively trying to do exactly that.

Fuck knows why.

Yeah, I think you're right.

You have to be fucking kidding.

See, I tried to tell you yesterday.

As usual, Frank is 100% correct.
