Harsher penalties for stuff. The suspensions have driven many users away. I used to get suspended very often, so I can tell you how annoying it is to see a six month suspension when you genuinely dont feel like you did anything to violate the TOS. The site and moderation policy is driving off the users.

You mean mass bumping constant stupid questions wasn't a positive contribution?

Where else could we get some worthless fucking nominal level data?

I guess this topic proves why this site sucks now.

All the smart/fun posters left.

Now we're stuck with the leftovers. The Z-listers.

I miss the good posters that were actually entertaining.

It's so fucking lame posting here now.

Tbf, it's incredibly easy to brush off one liners that aren't funny to you.

It's more annoying when the whole topic just becomes political when you're trying to talk about something more nuanced. Because everyone is looking for the excuse to flex their perspectives on each other. Even though their perspective looks super narrow when they can't go into more nuanced aspects. They feel like they're coming off intelligent and that's what matters.

But, sadly, this is most the internet. You usually need to curate people into a discord to have more nuanced conversation. Get people in there that won't just immediately throw you into whatever crowd they hate as soon as you say something they disagree with. Again, trying to look intelligent but instead just looking like they have a very shallow understanding of how people work.

I wish I would of put more effort into discord, cause it was fun when you got the more open people and no one is just throwing around labels.

It's also really easy to state your opinions and not get modded when you don't get all emotional about it.

I would know. I use to get more emotional about topics and was constantly suspended. Now, Not much gets to me and I can state however I feel without getting suspended. My jokes still get modded. But that's fair. Im a habitual line stepper

I would agree with you, but some posters still get ass hurt over sensitive words. You can lift the censor bypass but you can't remove the censorship from the overly sensitive ninnies of the world.

I just wouldn't use those words then. That way they couldn't avoid my points by focusing on them. I'm not proud over what words can be used or not. I'll just still use those words with people not so sensitive and not use them around people who are too sensitive to concentrate on the conversation if they're used. If the main goal is to try to get someone to understand your intention, it's best not to get caught up on the petty things that can distract from it for whoever you're talking to. I think people just get too proud over petty shit and it makes it so they never even get to core conversation.

Of course, some people are just disingenuous and are purposely looking for any escape from the real conversation. But, who cares about those people. Those are the last people I want having any influence on how I carry myself

While I can see the point, I also see the point that people should have thicker skins when interacting publicly. You can not live your life in bubble wrap.

Oh, I agree. But that's something they gotta live with when they walk away from the conversation, not me. Im apathetic as hell to offensive stuff and don't step on my own fun. And I feel like me trying to change their whole world perspective would also be stepping on my own entertainment I get from conversations. I just wanna get to what I wanted to talk about.

The unfortunate problem is that often they don't want to talk about what you want to talk about.

Simple. Amount of users are constantly going down, no new blood is being added meaning all conversations are the same stagnant ones we always gets

There are approximately 1306 registered users currently using the message boards.

Yeah. But, you always got the option to walk away. Except for that one time Vegy abducted me and kept me in his basement for a year just so I could tell him if I thought girls he brought down to present were hot or not. No matter my answer, he would just walk away in the same manner until he brought down another one to show me and ask again. It stopped being scary after the first few days and just got irritating. I don't think he hurt any of the women. Probably paid them. But there was this one that came down without him and asked me herself. And Im like 98% sure it was just him in a mixture of the clothes of the women I said were hot. Anyway, after we got done making passionate love, I was 99% sure it was him. He exited the room like Ms. Doubtfire when her face starts falling apart.

Anyway. Yeah, just don't talk to people who avoid the topic with distracting responses.
