God almighty, some of y'all simply are not happy unless you're feeling aggrieved about a friggin' internet message board, huh? How much more are we going to have to see posts crying and complaining about moderation on the old ZZLP? What kind of lives do some of y’all live where remembering slights on a damn message board from **years ago** occupies real estate in your heads in the year of our Lord 2024?

Interesting comment on a thread complaining about moderating on this forum. Poster's point is don't let it become what ZZLP was.

Yeah, I knew exactly what thread on which I commented. I have absolutely no earthly idea how some of you supposed adults do not see why continuously whining about past moderation **on a board that no longer exists** is anything other than completely bizarre. How does *anyone* care THAT deeply to harbor resentment over ANYTHING said or done to them YEARS AGO on an online Internet forum. And for the record, yeah, I also don’t see how complaining about moderation on this board, when there is a handy dandy ignore function that actually works wonders, is helpful.

The Pub victimhood complex dies hard. I suspect we'll still be seeing these same complaints years from now, assuming this board still exists.

You don't understand his point not to let this become ZZLP? That is the context. I have found this board far superior to zzlp. He made point about zzlp only to argue against these subjective bans. As others have said this board has functions to ignore posters.

I’m pretty sure everyone has the collective goal to not let this board become like the old ZZLP, so no, I don’t understand his point or any point that involves continuing to litigate and relitigate years-old complaints and grievances, considering this board is nothing at all like the old ZZLP.

Do we get to post like this on this board? I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm fine with it. I just would like to know before I hand you my response.

Yes. We do. We are all adults here. If you want to use profanity, use profanity. if you want to talk shit to someone, talk shit to someone. Nobody is getting banned here for using profanity or for talking shit.

Tell you what...I'm still pretty pissed at TagTerp, StampedingTerp, Beowolf, and Statesmith from accboards.com

Buncha twerps and wolpfackers every one of 'em.

Eww Wee....now we talking.
 
I don't ignore users, and I don't think anyone should be banned, regardless of politics, except for especially egregious chronic behavior (e.g., constant name calling, belittling, etc.).
 
Outside of actual threats, let it go. Use the super ignore feature. It's a message board. There are tons of keyboard crusaders out there. Just ignore if you don't want to engage with them.

There's a certain poster with a Slim Jim between his legs and coconut milk between his ears who decided to graffiti the board and completely ruin a thread.

Super ignore does nothing to prevent this POS from destroying others' experience on the board. The content of these posts was personal, accusatory and confrontational. The intellectual content of them is zero.

If there are no consequences for this behavior, then I will be reassessing whether this is a productive place to spend my time. It's only going to get worse. Give a MAGA an inch, and they will try to take a mile, always. It's why they are MAGA, after all -- they lack self-control and self-reflection, which have been squeezed out by the metastatic puerility to make room for more bullshit generators. Let this go and it will take not long at all for that to become the norm.

If everyone puts said poster on super ignore, isn't that equivalent to a ban?

I have this same issue with my mother. She will bring up stuff from 20 years ago where she felt that she was taken advantage of.

I know I complain sometimes, bitch sometimes, and sometimes I'm not an easy person to talk with, but I hope I don't do this. If I do please call me out.

Earlier today I buried several time capsules around sites that would likely be excavated for future construction. In those capsules I included hand written complaints about this board (and the former) along with screen captures. I left instructions to broadcast this information across whatever medium they may be utilizing.

It is my hope that the future inhabitants of this planet will understand the suffering we endured so they may prosper.
