Now this thread is a million times better

"Heck, if my information is right, they have a thread where you post your dick."

Your information is not right.

Nyarly

While I agree with you here, I wouldn't even say that it makes much of a difference whether it's a respectable forum or... something that's not-so respectable.

Besides, considering the horrible nature of the internet, where being an asshole earns you a lot of respect, SA, along with 4chan, is most likely the most respectable thing in it.

Icalasari

^^ Just corrected

Crimson

This will end well.

Icalasari

^ Oh but won't it?

All Nines

How many of you actually lurk SA (I don't know whether or not the paywall is up on the entire forum)? It's far and away the best forum I've been to, in terms of quality of discussion and variety of topics.

^^ Well, there's another Goon here already.

For the record, I don't care if SA makes a fuss over what happened yesterday. I just don't think we should be posting our dicks to the forum.

Icalasari

^ And I'm not here to argue that

It's the caring what SA thinks part that I'm arguing

All Nines

^ My first paragraph is somewhat relevant in that SA is actually a great forum, and that as far as finding people with valuable opinions, you could do much worse.

Nyarly

^^^ I don't and I have not interest in doing so. The only thing I would ever visit SA for are LPs.

Crimson

Dude, if you really didn't care about what goons think you probably should have just not made this topic and saved the rest of us some drama.

Vivi

I still don't see why the dick posting is a big deal, and no one will tell me.

Icalasari

^^^^ The TVTropes thread and a few other threads make it seem like an average forum to me, albeit with fewer trolls due to accounts costing money

MadassAlex

WMG: Ica just wants his cock on the forum.

Crimson

^^^Because not many people want to see that, and it if doesn't outright break the rules, it does cross some lines.

All Nines

"I still don't see why the dick posting is a big deal, and no one will tell me."

Have you not seen any of us using the word "skeevy" in reference to it?

And ^ that.

Vivi

Oh my gosh you are not explaining anything. "Skeevy" does not tell me what is wrong with it. "Cross some lines" That doesn't tell me anything. If people didn't want to see it, don't click the thread that says Cocks NSFW!

Nyarly

I still don't see why the dick
posting is a big deal, and no one will tell me.

I hope you are kidding. If not, then I weep for you.

SA actually has a pretty decent moderation system and a type of community mentality that keeps the place clean of the sorts of things that make TV Tropes a mess. Troublesome users on that site get banned very quickly, and get shunned very quickly too for being a dumbfuck. On the other hand, troublesome users on TV Tropes have a history of being a problem for a long time before they finally cross the line at some point and get banned. If they're keeping most of the troublemakers out, they must be doing something right.

I agree, however, that true criticism comes from within the self, and that TV Tropes shouldn't improve just because SA "doesn't approve". However, if a number of people are following a forum they don't even go on, and they see and point out the same problems over and over, they may be on to something. What they have to say about the forum could be valuable for a forumite to listen to.

Quite frankly, I don't care if it's Something Awful criticizing TV Tropes, or Neopets (pfah!), or the most respectable forum on the internet, or the president of the US, or my grandma, or TV Tropes itself. It doesn't make a difference to me. If multiple people have a criticism of a forum, and they bring up observations of the same sort of thing over and over, that may be sign that that forum needs improvement.


Also, if the dick thread does exist, which I doubt, it's probably in that shameful forum where if you post you get forums cancer or something, but I hear that forum doesn't exist anymore.

All Nines

"'Skeevy' does not tell me what is wrong with it."

How does it not?

"If people didn't want to see it, don't click the thread that says Cocks NSFW!"

It's more than just "we don't want to see it"; we just plain think it shouldn't be there, period.

Vivi

There was a thread that posted hentai pictures of Hitler yaoi!

Definition for skeevy:

Web definitions:

disgusting or distasteful.

that tells me nothing

Crimson

^Doesn't make that, nor what you did, okay.

But seriously why are you being so adamant about this dicks thing? It was just a stupid joke topic by your admission anyway

Vivi

It would be almost impossible to find. It was from forever ago.

If you can give me a good reason why you don't think it should be there, besides the fact that it is against the rules because it isn't, then fine.

I have principles. It isn't about the penis.

How does that not tell you anything?

AnneBeeche

Why do you want to look at pictures of people's cocks on specifically IJBM so much? If you absolutely must look at cocks there is a myriad of porn websites out there. If you cannot satisfy your urge to look at people's cocks outside of IJBM, then there is no hope for you.

1i. Do not post pornographic content (images, text, videos, etc.) or
NSFW images in general on the forum.  You may discuss "not safe for
work" (NSFW) topics and link to NSFW material, but it must be CLEARLY
marked.
1j. The mods reserve the right to reformat or outright remove
any images or other content deemed unacceptable, even if the thread
containing them is already marked 'NSFW'.

Here are the rules, by the way.

Are you incapable of respecting the webmaster's desire to not want a gallery of people's cocks on their website?

Icalasari

^ Weren't those rules JUST added last night though?

Vivi

Everest, there has been disgusting and distasteful things in here already that did not get threads locked.

And I told you Anne, it isn't about the penis.

AnneBeeche

They were added last night because as it turned out the rules were not clear enough, and rules need to be specific.

Vivi

I'm not incapable of respecting it. I just think I deserve a good reason to respect it. If a mod said to me right now, "Accept it, or we will ban you" as their reason, then I would be forced to accept either way, but I would still get my point across.

AnneBeeche

Oh, so that thread had nothing to do with penises at all?

What was it about, then? Enlighten me.

Icalasari

^^^ Just pointing out that they can't be used to counter Vivi as they weren't there at the time of the thread being posted
