Dear [Forum User],

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns on this forum. We appreciate open discussions and diverse perspectives. However, after carefully considering your post, it appears that you may be engaging in a behavior known as concern trolling.

Is this not you admitting that the only reason you accept Starsector Posting because it's something you like? This isn't meant to be a jab, it just genuinely reads (to me, at least) that you're saying you'd try to bring threads back on topic more if the derail wasn't something you like. Which is...kinda my entire point.conrad wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 7:23 am Granted if it was something I don't engage in, I'd try to put the thread back on rails more often. But I wouldn't be a bitch about it like people who derail threads with a big load of nothing and then refuse to stop after being told by forum mods, then make an appeal when they get a warning. (sorry ducks I like you but this is lame)
When people are engaging with the thread and an upcoming headmin who is one of the people under scrutiny for the decision in the thread, immediately calls for Starsector, we have a problem. Because it means that the derailments are so accepted that people can outright ask for it. So if a common, contentless-for-most derailment (counting) is a bad thing, why is an even more common, contentless-for-most derailment (Starsector) a perfectly good and a-okay thing?conrad wrote: On that 9 page thread, Starsector was mentioned once. The derailment caused by people getting banned over managing to break forum rule 7 was over and done with. The counting crap happened like three times after the thread had already run its course.
If you want to talk about Glass Houses, in response to the crime of "reacting with disgust to someone comparing an extremely minor case of metacomms to a literal serial killer and rapist literally immediately after I had made a desperate, empassioned plea for someone to consider having empathy about something" you said I was "stirring the pot like baba yaga and being an insulting, insufferable twat" and "did nothing but act like a twat" which was also incredibly toxic, rather disgusting, and poor conduct from an admin.conrad wrote: Not to mention the same people bitching about Starsector posting are the people that start or participate in counting chains. Glass houses and such.
1. No spam. (Contentless posts, repeated posts, off topic posts)
Calling hypocrisy isn't ad hominem. "I think this is wrong, so I'm gonna do the other thing I know is wrong and complain when I get banned/warned for it because of the first thing" is a very common trend that admins have to deal with. I do not respect this sort of behaviour.
Your track record makes it very, very hard to be compassionate about you when you get forum banned for being toxic and then go on defensive like you're the victim of admin abuse. However the yelling I got from AsbestosSniffer was quite warranted as that wasn't any better than what you did. I apologize for my poor choice of words there.
See, this I respect.AsbestosSniffer wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 12:09 pm I may have counted before people were told to stop, but I will wear that forum warning with pride.
You know what now I agree with this 'cos this arguing is exhausting. 1984 starsector, do it.

Since it's supposed to be a shitpost area people should be allowed to derail to some extent, no? I took action on everyone counting because it's lower effort than starsector-posting, essentially being spam. In retrospect I should have included something about spam in the warningiwishforducks wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 10:27 amare you saying that it’s fine to derail threads, as long as it’s not counting? the in quotes “derailing a thread” was quoted from my forum warning

I will still wear it with pride nevertheless
Are they actually rules of their not really enforced?
No it wasn't. It was a dumb non sequitur with no actual reason for it being funny. It was the equivalent of saying any random word and thinking it's funny.

Nah, that's not allowed. Having fun is forbidden.

There is a lot of very bizarre nonsense being talked on this forum. I shall now remain silent and logoff until my points are vindicated.

I would love it if threads turned into discussions about professional wrestling, because I love professional wrestling! However, I wouldnt start randomly posting about professional wrestling after deciding myself that the thread needs it (although I think ive tried once or twice? idk), because thats subjective and unfair to the rest of the people that want to continue discussion.Kendrickorium wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 4:24 amstarsector is an interchangeable noun for any kind of discussion that starts up inside a threadTheLoLSwat wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 1:59 amKendrickorium wrote: ↑Mon Sep 11, 2023 9:30 pmif the thread has devolved to the point that people are actually having a discussion about starsector or literally anything else, the thread is done and should probably be locked
also its a fucking spaceman game forum not wikipedia or digg
if we want to talk about something else in a thread that has clearly run its course we should be able to
counting is just /b/ tier trolling, and should be punished as such
"counting" and "starsector posting" seem interchangeable here, and it feels like youre defending one because you personally like it
if instead, we started to have meaningful discussions about wrestling when we are all sick and tired of midwits giving their thesis' on politics and throwing shit at each other in a thread, would that work out better for you?
a completely different discussion happening inside a thread is a subtle way for people to say holy shit this is fucking garbage, we want to talk about something else now. it also cools everyone down.
let me put this in a way you can relate to, when there is a super serious episode of bleach, it's typically followed up by a filler episode to allow for everyone to calm down and relax
another example - in ds9 after Dax is killed, they all play baseball. (this, like starsector posting, was also very funny)
i notice a lot of people are focusing on starsector-- heads up, a lot of other random discussions happen in threads too, it's just that starsector is one thats SOMETIMES forced instead of organically happening when a thread hits max shittery
gravel posting and counting are just one or two posters having a temper tantrum when a group of people having a discussion typically are groupthinking in a way that isnt liked
or you can all have your wish, and the forum gods will be actually enforced to smite anyone that brings up literally anything not directly associated with the first forum post in a thread 5 pages long.
And attitudes like this make trying to overcome my "track record" feel pointless because it's forever going to be held against me as though I'm some problem player.conrad wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2023 3:01 pmYour track record makes it very, very hard to be compassionate about you when you get forum banned for being toxic and then go on defensive like you're the victim of admin abuse.

Certainly true, and I accept that people may not like me. I acknowledge I have work to do to try and change that. But I don't want to be treated like I'm some monster, either. Like I'm looking for and relishing the idea of causing trouble. In that thread in particular, I was calling for kindness, compassion and empathy and being frustrated when people either Just Didn't Care, or in one case, were outright malicious.Jacquerel wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 3:19 pm if you treat people badly then they won't like you and it's hard to get that respect back, yes
the easiest solution to that is to not do it in the first place, the only other one is to work very hard over quite a long period of time to change their perception

Yet there were harsher words spoken of me by some, than those same people said of the guy who was comparing a new player excited about something and making an oopsie, to a literal serial killer.
Doesn't that strike you as Kinda Fucked? Is it unreasonable for me to Kinda Wish People Didn't Do That?
