I just opened potd in a private tab because I was curious what all the missing posts were in a topic, and it's just an unusable cesspool. Like there's all the duckbear stuff, really lazy trolls, and boring right wingers bitching about everything

Sometime I get annoyed that this board is so slow but then I remember I'm missing 1 and 1/2 pages more or less of random awful shit that buries any actual conversations.

Do you want people to have an unhappy 9/11. If everyone is unhappy 0.3% of the year then the terrorists win IMO

Most of the fun and upbeat posters don't post as much if at all anymore. Everybody's so hate-filled and grumpy now. Even though they'll swear they aren't.

They also like to spend hours in looping arguments full of name calling.

I mostly come here when I'm bored at work now.

I hear ya @PunishedOni the internet is an absolute nightmare if you're too afraid to block people.

I will give any amount of money to never adopt this bs mentality again. There's a lot of really kind people on this site, and I started noticing that shortly after I stopped being afraid to block people.

Using anything that even remotely resembles social media without blocking and muting people is unhealthy and stupid. The only people that will tell you otherwise are people you should be muting/blocking.

Especially on this board. I have most of the CEgals and some of the more hateful CEmen blocked, but that's it.

There's only like 5 people here (not to scale). Ignoring even one person would remove too much content, even if it's bad content

I've never really had a problem "manually ignoring" people, and it's pretty rare for somebody to be so truly awful that I never want to see anything they post at all. Even the worst posters occasionally contribute something interesting (mostly when they aren't talking politics), and even when they are posting crap, that crap usually ends up being the subject of further discussions and it's nice to at least have the option of seeing that context instead of having awkward holes to read around.

I get why some people prefer to ignore problem users, but I'm not a fan of doing so.

They are, but I can generally tune out and scroll past their inane babbling in sex- and/or politics-related topics, and their contributions to other topics tend not to be so horrible that I'd want them totally eliminated.

are you suggesting that reading nazi's forum posts is a good tool to eliminate nazism. are you going to debate them out of being fascists or something

I agree, but unfortunately, I haven't heard of too many instances of people dying because their GameFAQs posts get ignored. Actually eliminating them would involve far more production budget than I'm willing to sink into this movie, so it's not particularly likely to happen, and half-measures like ignoring their posts just do more harm than good (by which I mean they yield no benefit and are occasionally inconvenient).

That's fair. I find it easy enough to skim past them as needed, so I don't bother.
