Clicking on contribution takes weeks?

You realize I have over 4,400 maps and 38 written guides right? I dunno if there is a quicker process to remove all that. But as far as I know, I have to do it one at a time. And I ain't got time for that shit. Sure there is the feedback, but I dunno if Zooper has the ability to hit delete on my page, and all of them are wiped immediately.

Hey, we should start removing our guides before we leave.
Doesn't that feel a little too "screw you guys I'm going home" where you gather all your things and leave the friends hangout?

This is dreadful. Just dreadful. Raising the karma requirement was bad enough, but this is awful. I don't understand what the reasons are either. Did something happen in the last month that was really bad? LUE did something dreadful to get privatised.

Raising the karma limit was a godsend because all the usual suspects could barely stay behaved long enough to reach 50. Then they would survive a day at best once they got access.

Oh no the karma thing was fantastic. I'd have it raised to 1k if I had my way. But yeah, I don't see the evidence in CE needing to be LUE'd.

Man you gotta believe this paradigm shift is going to have a monumental effect on the boards and even the entire site for years to come.

It reminds me of the time the Authority was sick of CM Punk's constant controversy as he would say or do anything in his pursuit to become the greatest superstar of all time.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/5/57b4aafb.jpg

The Authority became so enraged by having to deal with the aftermath of CM Punk's ceasless disputation and talking that they went so far as to name John Cena the actual WWE champion and proceeded to turn off CM Punk's microphone every time he tried to speak.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f4aba7b0.jpg

CM Punk didn't get the message and continued to say whatever he wanted, when he wanted causing The Authority to go the absolute most extreme lengths ever as they got the 6 foot 10, 336 pound Devil's Favorite Demon Corporate Kane to handle it by Chokeslaming the noisy Second City Saint through an annouce table at the 2014 Royal Rumble.

https://i.imgur.com/QUXYVjV.gif

This action was so brutal that it rendered CM Punk broken and in mortal fear for his life. Causing him to not appear in public again for almost entire decade. During his absence times changed. Eventually Kane had retired and the Authority was gone, allowing CM Punk to re-emerge to thunderous applause in Chicago as he entered a new era:

https://youtu.be/H1MBYsVamBQ?si=2F4rTVnIdGBXHJdS

And you have to wonder if the same thing will happen here. Will the Authority reign forever or will things return to normal one day in the far future under new leadership?

Just like with Youtube ads, advertisers can pretty much do whatever they want despite the rules of the site they are advertising on.

WTF?

The "horny" topics are dropping like flies and the TC's getting banned.
They "clarified" it's only when people make creepy comments on pics, then went after a bunch of topics where it was just pictures that the women themselves post to their IG and such. But.... gotta fight that dreaded "mail gays", god forbid if people actually look at those pictures! Gotta protect the children! Or something...

Is it COMPLETELY advertiser unfriendly? No, you're going to still find advertisers who don't care. The thing is though is that you WILL find advertisers who care, it may not be a massive number of them but they do absolutely exist.

Now, banning horny posting and politics will not lose you any advertisers but having horny posting and politics will cost you some number of advertisers.

In the eyes of a company just looking to maximise profits? Banning horny posting and politics has no real downsides.

Remember, we live in a capitalist society, maximising profits is all that matters and if you can increase revenue by even $1 per month? You do it.
