bro i do and then half of the discord is just blocked messages it's so annoying. it's even worse when people take the bait or interact with it because then i open up blocked messages to see what people are vaguely talking about and then get hit with Cat Girl Blushing Doing Weird Face While Getting Petdragomagol wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 2:32 amJust block them dawg.iwishforducks wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 2:05 am okay but on the topic what the hell are you supposed to do if an admin posts something wildly uncomfortable / borderline porn? or has a habit of doing so? there's been more than a few admins recently but idk who to talk to about it because i dont want to come off as concern trolling/being a whiny baby. admin complaint? admin feedback thread? @'ing the discord jannies? but idk @'ing the discord jannies can be a bit of a gamble. but what if i think this kind of behavior should be brought to the headmins themselves? cause i think someone's ability to not post uncomfortable things should heavily factor into their admincy. whatever. been racking my brain on what steps i should take because IDK what would be the best tbh. sorry this is kinda a brain dump because this has been bugging me like crazy for the past month (it's also why i don't use the discord very often)

"just block the admins" is not a helpful response; if you block an admin and they can't reach you, you're just gonna get banned and made to go to the forums.

I dunno, if someone showed up after we buried them that would seem pretty significant, a less frequent occurrence than people successfully appealing permabans.

The only reason peanuts exist is because allowing a place for people to post their (mostly) unfiltered opinions about administrative action in a sanctioned place where responses can be made and issues and concerns addressed is important. If it just becomes a place for people to spew stupid pointless mean posts then we should just delete the players club again and ban nut threads altogether
sure, this is reasonable thing to draw from the appeal and im not saying it isnt, which is why i didnt try to discredit the sections of your previous posts saying things to this effectconrad wrote: ↑Mon Dec 04, 2023 11:10 pm My peanut is that the intent of the appeal doesn't address the reason for the ban.

minus a few fuckings thrown in there (which is honestly just my natural speech bleeding in, whoops) I think ive been pretty non inflammatory, and just tried to lay out my issue with certain lines of reasoning i dislike, sorry if its come across as anything else
blocking someone whos active in a discord only serves to keep you out of being able to understand a third of all conversations. its a shit solution, and its miserable to have to do just because someone keeps spamming something they know makes people uncomfortable, partially because it makes people uncomfortable

Remember when the moz monster made admins uncomfortable so they got a three day ban but because it's something that is only making a group of players uncomfortable it's totally fine.

Untrue really. I will not repeat this incident and will be careful with what I say in regards to the environment and targeting of an ooc entity. however, I have always been an advocate for being able to say kill yourself in an ic context. Obviously ooc targeting is too far, there's nothing to say here. I should not have been around to engage with that aspect.Justice12354 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 1:20 am Now that we're on the second appeal that I think has a chance of getting upheld and Kieth obviously learned a total of dogshit with his ban, I'm gonna give my peanut on these permabans:
I could be bribed to make some pizza dough and churn out some pepperoni rolls. My beloved snack of choice that takes 6 hours to prepare.
This game is actually good as shit, amazing writing, terrible characters, i want them all to die painfully (this is a positive)
Its shown that way, but its glorified and obsessed over by the developer and the fandom, to the point of hiring artists to ship them together.DATAxPUNGED wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 10:53 am And for those worried about the incest:

Fuck, even in the death scene where she is decapitated the sister still has a stupid fucking tongue out eyes rolled back face
its painfully fucking obvious if you play the game that it isnt uncomfortable for horror its just the developers fetish

Although i definitely missed something because i didn't see him actually killing her? It was implied he was gonna do that but the chapter ends before the resolution
100% agree here... I'm a free speech absolutist myself. I think everything should be down for posting so it's not the act of posting that pisses me off kinda, but it's just the posting is fine but the backlash isn't? This feels really fucking shit. Especially when admins defend their posts then the backlash is like owned.cSeal wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 11:54 am ive had good faith discussions with taxfraud and i dont hold any hatred for them but it is kinda coocoo bananas that they can blatantly state that they enjoy seeing people uncomfortable and angry about it, post the most uncomfortable content you could derive from that game around people who have repeatedly said they find it uncomfortable, and then snarkmins will come out of the woodworks if you complain to say "ERM you fucking illiterate DIPSHIT it actually says on the steam page that this game is about EATING PEOPLE WHY ARENT YOU MENTIONING THAT HUH WHY ARE YOU HUNG UP ON THE INCEST!!!!?!??!?!

The first one is murder in a game with murder as a central point. Unless I'm mistaken, aside from tot with 2 steal objectives, every single antag is gonna murder at some point. In the past someone argued about being told they're gonna be murdered and that made them uncomfortable, and the sad truth was that they would then need to play some other game. One without murder.kieth4 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 8:36 am Yet I've never understood why kill yourself (which is something I've used a good amount up to my ban from which I'm trying to not use again) is such a point of contention.

Please do. It pisses me off that there is some sort of preciousness over the admin position (even more so for the DJ which, dear lord, why are you like this) and I am fairly certain I dodged at least one warning for having a purple name.

I am really not trying to. If you feel I am, I apologize, and would request you re-structure what you said, or ignore what I said, 'cos if it looks that I am arguing in bad faith, I just misunderstood what you said.

In this case, it seems that he was also in the same boat of targeting CC. IDK bro what do you want me to say here
how do i say like calling the game an "incest porn game" is not exactly honest about what it really is and yet at the same time posting memes and images which are basically "LOOK GUYS LOOK INCEST LOOK" is also not something admins should do. Look seal. LOOK. I guess I have to be 1000% crystal clear, this post is pretty much mirrors my take on the game:cSeal wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 11:54 am ive had good faith discussions with taxfraud and i dont hold any hatred for them but it is kinda coocoo bananas that they can blatantly state that they enjoy seeing people uncomfortable and angry about it, post the most uncomfortable content you could derive from that game around people who have repeatedly said they find it uncomfortable, and then snarkmins will come out of the woodworks if you complain to say "ERM you fucking illiterate DIPSHIT it actually says on the steam page that this game is about EATING PEOPLE WHY ARENT YOU MENTIONING THAT HUH WHY ARE YOU HUNG UP ON THE INCEST!!!!?!??!?!

I don't think admins should be posting stuff that makes people uncomfortable (an unfortunately long time recurring theme) just like how we expect players to not post stuff that makes people uncomfortable. At the same time, Prussen responded in the one way that wasn't going to go anywhere by pinging them days later with a flippant ping to restart the issue in a new chat with unrelated people instead of just reporting it or going through the countless ways you could bring this up as an issue. And none of this is even related to the ban appeal, where again, I just wish he would say he got swept up with what everyone else in the chapel was saying and doing, which is far more honest and far more understandable and it avoids even having to open the can of worms that is telling ic role admins play as to commit suicide vs telling adminsItseasytosee2me wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 5:40 am Oh damn I didn't know that game was like actually a borderline inscest plot, I was under the impression it was just the cannibalisms thing being an allegory for incest. Hot fucking damn.
You know, normally I would be compelled to defend this with like "It's a horror game! Uncomfortable themes are a core aspect" but if your main community is feverously devoted to the cuteness of an incest relationship I think you probably went a step wrong somewhere, and that's my generous interpretation.
Oh yeah for sure. I wasnt defending his behavior. But I do think its disingenuous and really shitty for people to characterize it as mean old prussen coming in and stomping on taxfrauds innocent infatuation with incest posting like it isnt multiple people being extremely shitty in the discord on purpose, and then prussen and others making stupid posts in reply rather than ask the jannies to clean up (not that i actually think the jannies would do anything about this particular mess because a lot of them seem to think theres no reason anyone should be uncomfortable with the incest spam :/)Armhulen wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 4:43 pm At the same time, Prussen responded in the one way that wasn't going to go anywhere by pinging them days later with a flippant ping to restart the issue in a new chat with unrelated people instead of just reporting it or going through the countless ways you could bring this up as an issue.
/tg/ in particular stands out as a place with a really wide overton window of acceptable posting. Goon, narrow in what is allowed, when you play there you understand immediately what's OK to post and what goes too far. It's kinda common sense. But /tg/ is different, because there are people ranging from oneyplays fans to 4chan server founders and that makes for a WIDE variety of what flies in the chat. It might be a reason this community in particular ends up having so many incidents over the years. Not to say I would narrow or shift the scope. Despite the ongoing drama spikes you get to meet so many interesting and cool folks here. It's an appeal other servers WISH they could bring.cSeal wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 5:08 pmOh yeah for sure.

Also sorry if my post seemed to be attacking you, your incense post was entirely fine, it even made me chuckle a little. I was referencing a few specific other incidents entirely outside of the forum when i mentioned people acting snarky by pointing out the steam description
blue ceramic i got from a very wonderful japantown. the sticks have a really nice refined smokey richness, slightly herbal but more like a spice road kinda vibe
If they are doing it deliberately to make people uncomfortable then yes, that is a problem. If you (or whoever) has evidence of someone posting something that they know makes others uncomfortable, that should be reported.cSeal wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 6:35 amblocking someone whos active in a discord only serves to keep you out of being able to understand a third of all conversations. its a shit solution, and its miserable to have to do just because someone keeps spamming something they know makes people uncomfortable, partially because it makes people uncomfortable
You keep missing the core of the deal, dude. If the only issue was name-dropping, you would've been instantly unbanned, as well as 5 other players. Telling someone to kill themselves ICly is allowed and that is not gonna change very soon. The (rare) issue, which was what happened, is when you got a parallel set between OOC and IC and go "Well, technically, I didn't tell the admins to kill themselves; I told centcom to kill themselves", which I'm not gonna go over again bc I already did. The technicalities don't mean crap to me if this can lead to a toxic environment and, regardless of who you mean this to be targeted towards, that's not cool. At the end of the day, what matters is not whether you meant it or not (we all know no one here actually wants other players to die), but the possible consequences your actions may lead to. I know this can feel like a huge hyperbolic, but it's not worth taking the risk when it is not uncommon at all.kieth4 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 05, 2023 8:36 amUntrue really.

I'm really not sure what else you want me to learn/do here, engaging in an activity where ppl are oocly targeting someone is bad and I should avoid it in the future.
