Imagine if Volourn had never been allowed to say r00fles because of a word-filter! What kind of sad place would the codex be now!

Thing is, Volourn usually writes coherent and relevant posts. His shtick is fairly minor and not annoying to read in most cases. Same goes for BLOBERT. He posts infrequently, and despite his posting style he usually also makes coherent and salient points.

AWS on the other hand is frustrating for many to decipher and rarely seems to post things that are actually worth deciphering in the first place.

Codexers: "I absolutely believe in free speech and so I would never put someone on ignore"

Same Codexers: "Oh thank you DU for filtering this annoying poster for us"

Hypocrites.

Hypocrites.

Since when has this site ever guaranteed shit posters eternal posting powers? It's literally rule 3 and rule 5 of the site rules.

AWS only shit posts as far as I can tell. I've never seen him make a quality post in GRPG or any other section of the site.

Most of the long term shitposters on this site contribute something, whether that be pure entertainment value or they self-moderate and know when to join real conversation.

Shitposting the only thing you do? Then don't be surprised if you end up like T-Rex or Neckbeard Shitlord.

It's true, but the rules basically amount to, "We can do whatever we want." I'd argue it does violate the spirit of the site. But it was probably inevitable one day that would end, all we can do is mourn the passing of an era I guess.

Nothing new for the staff to fuck with (and often eventually ban) dedicated shit posters though. It's been a thing as long as I've been here.

In my experience you have to be really dedicated to pure valueless shit posting to get banned for it.

Neckbeard Shitlord was a distinguished gentleman, and I do remember him posting in GRPG.

The 4chan spambot, otoh - good fucking riddance. I don't remember ONE WORD of meaningful conversations off him prior to putting him on Bester's ignore.

Yeah I probably picked a slightly bad example with Neckbeard, he did used to occasionally make non shitposts.

Thing is, what defines shitposting? Once you go there, they can just argue your serious opinions are shitposting.

And yeah, there were other things. Like when DU went full BLM and word-filtered the serpentmen. I don't personally care about that either but it's indistinguishable from a Reddit-tier mod philosophy.

A fair point and something likely to vary per individual. A dedicated shitposter is one I'd mark as who posts purely for comedic effect with little focus on relevant content.

That's incidentally something I don't have an issue with by itself, but I feel they should at least make some effort to make their shtick amusing if that is going to be their main focus.

A lot of people seem to agree that AWS's posting style is neither entertaining or very insightful. I would guess DU's word filter is a subtle warning for him to find new material.

The point is that DU has a mechanism for you to avoid shit-posters. It's called ignore. All the codex tards that refuse to ignore people should be forced to wade through AWS posts.

Nah it's ok.

When you murder, you act against the right to live, and it is a reason to believe you have forfeited that right, or at least, the right to your freedom to act.

When you try to violate the spirit of the site by crying to censor others, you act against and forfeit your right to invoke the spirit of the site and free speech.

The filter is quite justified. AWS asked for this.

Neckbeard was a real dude. A stand up guy. An injustice was done.

You got it backwards. This all started because AWS couldn't just ignore a poster and asked to censor Codexers.

It doesn't really matter who "started it". Anyone that is unwilling to just mute someone who has nothing useful to say (e.g. saeci), but then posts in this thread that they're happy that DU has filtered the person for them.... well that's a pretty cucked way of thinking when you want someone in authority to do for you what you weren't willing to do for yourself.
