Laurel we need help!

[KimGordon67]

Yes, I agree. I have been trying to lobby the staff to ban the habitual trolls (e.g. Busybody, who as of this writing is calling himself "nonothin") but they always manage to evade the ban by creating a new account.

I think a better approach would be to just lock or delete the threads started by these people, so that they eventually get the message, or at least, discourage them from participating in the forums. Everytime "Busybody" starts an obvious troll thread and people respond, he just feeds off of it, but if people were not allowed to respond- that is, if his threads were instantly locked or erased- I suspect he would be far less compelled to post on the forum to begin with. (Or, would hopefully stick with the Stormfront.org board where he and his kind can have their own echo-chamber.) It would solve a lot of issues we have here.

I've tried to suggest people don't respond to BB in the past ... no one really seems to get that it's the only thing that'll work. Pretty much the only thing that upsets a sociopath is being ignored.

Exactly. Who's to blame? An idiot? Or those that interact with the idiot? They both make my ignore list.

 

[KeithD]

Why do you care?

A non sequitur. My post doesn't connect with needing to care. Your post, however, shows that you care. Why? No need to answer because I'll not be responding. I don't care.

 

[KeithD]

Why is Laurel unable to ban KeithD from pol. forums?
a. because his stories put 99% of the food on her table
b. because he bought this site

Oh, you poor baby. I haven't been giving you the attention you want from me, have I? Sorry, but I'm not into sniveling posters this week.

I think freezing their threads or erasing them each time they came up would work over time. That's a good form of pointed ignoring.

 

[sundries]

an observation:

Posters usually dislike certain posters because of
1. their spamming
(more than 5 daily threads by one poster will inevitably drown other voices)
2. the offensive or irritating content of their threads
(well, I might fit in this one too)
3. a desire to censor speech that' not in line with their own

Do you think that redefining spamming as "more than 3 daily threads by one poster" (aka nook any thread from 4+) could help bring more diversity to the forum?
Or what Jada suggested: other posters to start contributing with threads.



Honestly not trying to impose my will this time, I'm not in a position to do so.
Just thinking that all other ideas that I read are either driven by personal dislikes, or dumb.

 

[Tryharder62]

Nope 2244 post and no threads, can't break my record...

Oh no, you do not want to tell me that! YOU KNOW I have a yearly thread to get Adre to make one. I can be very persistent! (Don't be fooled by the fact that it hasn't worked)

Sounds alot like censorship.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

There is nothing wrong with censoring sociopathic forum trolls. In fact, it teaches discipline, manners, and respect- things which several people could stand to learn.

Banning an unruly user who repeatedly trolls the forum by posting inflammatory and controversial crap is not a bad thing, rather think of it as a bartender or restaurant owner escorting out an unruly obnoxious patron.

There are plenty of forums where his kind would be welcome. Stormfront.org, for example- as I've pointed out. Let him go post his drivel over there, where he would fit right in, and so-called "Censorship" wouldn't even be an issue.

You can put anyone on ignore (barring mods) and never see a thing they post. It's not that you don't want to see it. You don't want anyone to see it. I don't want you or anyone else in charge of what I consider worthwhile, valuable, or damaging.

Your analogy is as flowed as that fool Lazaran. Are you his alt?

I get what you're saying but we are still lacking funny snarky threads. I use to laugh so hard I had to take a potty break. Now......not so much!!

Laurel herself said it's cyclical. Personally, I think what the GB was is gone and isn't coming back.

While you can put people on ignore, you still see posts when other people quote them. So ignore is not a 100% complete removal of their posts.... now back to watching the painted turtle lay her eggs in my driveway.

I'll have to get on that!!!

That must be very disconcerting for you, associating with the great unwashed.

 

[Conager]

This discussion comes up all the time. I don't mind because it lets those with little to no self-awareness about their contributions to the very situation they decry show that deficiency.

 

[loquere]

I'd be willing to be the GB sheriff, I wonder if the job cums with a badge.

What is needed is a GB moderator to move the threads and to start banning repeat offenders.
Oh Wait!

They would need weekly therapy sessions, a life time supply of chocolate and more.

now that ronmcc is gone,
it's the same "political" shit by the same 10 men, taking over pages 1 and 2 and drowning all other voices.

"Fuck the Blacks" "No, fuck the Whites!" "I'm clever, you're dumb so fuck you!" "no, you're dumb I'm clever so fuck you!"

I used to love opening political threads of any type.
You all used to be snarky and come up with great &new ideas, a pleasure to read.
Now it's just repetitive angry material.

What th happened to you all?
Are things in the US as depressing and bad that they sucked the joy out of politics?

 

[sundries]

I think it started ever since a particular poster asked Laurel to split the GB in two.

But the average GB women aren't stupid.
They don't like posts catering to the mental age of 14 (as most threads in the Lounge typically do).

Nor do they get entertained by "Trump bad/good You're stupid, I'm bright" threads, or nubiles and hardcore male porn. Or being harassed with spiteful pictures reposting or "you're old fat and you disgust me" posts.

So, as narcissistic as many of them were too,
the males and females who could have bought variety to the forum just checked out.

Could be, but I think it's funny the politics on the GB got worse after the political board was started.

Yes, and the Political Board is SO Left-wing, it risks falling off the planet. It's kind of funny, in a sense.


But nowadays the GB first two pages look more and more
like STORMFRONT.

Whenever I log in, 90% of page 1 is like:
"Blacks are dangerous and mooch on benefits!
The two officers were in the right to kill George Floyd &, because Floyd was a druggie, and they had criminal records!"


Don't get me wrong, I'm I am equally disconcerted by the RL riots and lootings, and bybthe anti-White sentiment fueled by your Leftist media.
But the GB IS disconcertingly becoming a Stormfront substitute,
just like in the past the GB used to be militant White-hating far Left.

I don't know what it is about American Politics that turns normally nice people, into such intense ones. Everywhere else, bashing politicians and Politics are just Pub fun on Saturday nights.
