Dear nazi douchebags, (or: no-ban policy has been revoked)

[DarkUnderlord]

I know that most people do it as a joke, but the joke is old and tired imo.

Okay. Every joke will now be run by Lockkaliber so that he can advise whether the joke is "old and tired".

I also said that I didn't want anybody to get banned

-->>

My take on solving the problem is to try to get rid of some of the shitposters.

...

This is the part where I ask you to point out all the shit posters that have expressed genuine racist or nazi opinions that you believe should be banned "gotten rid of". This is the part where you struggle to find more than maybe 2 names, one of which is nomask, the other of which is someone everyone else will call you a fag for wanting to ban "get rid of".

Hey, Lockkaliber, you're a nice guy and all, I would totally have your children if I was more female and less young man, but you're (I'm?) getting sidetracked here.

The world would be nicer place without the spamming and the inaneness, but then, what I find spamming and inane, some (retarded) people find funny and enlightening. And like DU already's made clear in that very diplomatic fashion of his, the only way to distinguish between the two, is to have the mods decide.

And I think we both know where that road goes.

Just buy the newest cybermodule from Disneyland and filter out what you don't like. Codex is 1.000.000.000.000 times better than any place with moderation, despite the people who think the same nigger-joke repeated for the umpteenth time is funny.

As long as shit such as the stuff EmoVamp posted is banned, the rest is tolerable.

If it's a matter of nigger-jokes or me and Skyway talking politely to each other, I sure as fuck know what I choose.

@DU: Let's say that I agree with you and that you have convinced me that I was wrong and just whining. Still, is there something that you think is wrong with the current userbase or the site as a whole as opposed to how it was a couple of years back (except for "newfags" whining about decline)? You seem awfully neutral and not willing to express any opinions on the matter, but are quick to refute any criticism. It'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter.

@Grunker: Point taken.

You have fell into his trap. Don't let his bullshit get to you, this man is a giant parasite that feeds of the crass of these forums

Shit is shit and you shouldn't complain. Good for what it is indeed

 

[Unradscorpion]

The thing is that DU doesn't see anyone that he feels should be banned, if you don't have any exact examples then you are just wasting his time.

Do you think Nomask should be banned? While he is annoying, he never tries to explicitly shock and he seems to put more time into his posts than those shitposters we are talking of.

 

[relootz]

Look X is whining about Y because Y is a shitty poster, so X want Y removed.

The discussion doesn't have to be about who should or shouldn't be banned. It would just be interesting to hear his thoughts on the stuff I asked about above.

I'd rather not have anyone banned.

Every comment has some value in documenting a period in human history that for the most part has not panned out the way, many of us would have liked. It's been a difficult transition for some, to see their neighbourhoods change within a generation (be it because of immigrants or a change in the air).

I'd rather have them vent their frustrations here, than take it to the street. I may not understand nomask's hate of the Jews, but if it means he's here instead of desecrating Jewish cemeteries than more good has been served.

The problem isn't political views/racism etc, it's the sheer amount stupidity and retardation in the GD regardless of the poster's views. Yeah, yeah, "it's GD what you expect" but if there isn't any shred of humor along with the retardation, then the thread should go quickly to retardo land.

The banning policy should stay as it is, but retardo-ing should be stricter and quicker.

One man's retarded post is another's comedic relief for the day. It's a slippery slope, because which posts are truly retarded and which are humorous?

 

[Dny]

Oddly enough, most people don't live on internet forums for all their lives. They go through a period, post and move on.

You shot yourself in the foot man. Isn't that painful ?

 

[Lockkaliber]

It should be up to people that I think have superior taste to decide what is funny and not funny.

 

[Unradscorpion]

When you look at his actions you see he doesn't really give that much fuck about the decline, or perhaps he does but thinks it has nothing to do with the moderation.

lol, that sounds like a line from the Censorship Board in Australia or Apartheid South Africa.

I think the best way to stop the rot would be to not feed the trolls. Do we really have to reply to a shitty thread/topic or shouldn't we just let it slowly sink into the abyss?

Duh, obviously there must be limits. Obviously there *are* limits now and that's why some threads get retardo'ed. If we go by the notion that everything can have comedic value for someone then we might as well retardo nothing and let the spambots reign. I'm sure someone out there thinks ad-plants are funny. What I'm saying is to make these limits stricter.

 

[Droog White Smile]

Looks like somebody should go back to ESF.

 

[Achilles]

You shouldn't resurrect old topics like that. For a moment, I thought the Codex was hit by a pussification ray and turned gay. I was relieved to see that it's still the tranny-infested anarchy I've come to know and love.

Fascinating view of the Codex's past though.

 

[Luzur]

its like looking back into the chaos after WW1, the Weimar Republic and the early days of a struggling National Socialism.

 

[Shannow]

I'll give you that cRPGs had a weak period around that time as well, which might have something to do with it as well, but I don't think that's the whole truth.

Well, Saint got hit by a truck and was left in a coma for about 6 months. He's never really recovered. Roshambo is off doing other shit I think but he comes back once in a blue moon. VD is working on his game and running his own place, though still posting here too... even though I kicked him in the nuts. Shagnak is busy with the family. Rex, whom we also kicked off staff, is running his own site. Role Player left for other RL things if I recall correctly. Volourn is still here. Some of the old-timers like Whipporowill, Zed and Jed have all posted a few things recently. Most of the developers were banned by their employers when we bashed their respective games.

Meh, that's the first I heard about SP. If it's true it really sucks.
Fez, Section8, Obediah, Bradylama... I even miss "guys" like Jasede (when he still posted intelligently and wasn't just about whining and furry-fagottism) and Ladonna. And more recently Edward R Murrow and Brother None.
Just seems like many quality posters entirely leave or post so rarely (in BN's case, so specifically) one hardly notices them anymore. And in the whole influx of newer posters there are simply not enough good ones to compensate. That together with the lack of true(ly interesting) RPGs manufactured the real decline of the co'x, imho. Not newfags, memes, lulz or nazis.

That's the best policy. Instead of simply getting rid of people (thus turning the forum into a wasteland), constantly retardoing retarded shit forces people to improve.

...new motto: Let the Codex improve your life

Updated my journal. Entry: this is what Lockkaliber actually believes.

 

[Lockkaliber]

Oh come on, that was irony.

 

[Helton]

I read your name as "Low Calibre" which is appropriate.

 

[Lockkaliber]

That's rude
