What would the OT be like without mods and bans? I type the best shite but half the time don't hit submit for fear of getting banned.

Nah. People do read this site. It has popped up in the news on a few occasions. Thread titles that mentioned that someone should die is not something that the site owner wants to be out there.



I get this point and it's a valid one. But you say that and 4 pages down there is a 10-page thread about a bikini model with no limbs as a WYHI thread.

I miss the days of endless babe threads, and gifs on other days than Friday. The identity of the board is so serious now. It used to be about white squirrel sightings, and Cameron the quad ninja.

I always try to put in most of my posts. If I forget or assume people know I'm joking or sarcasm or whatever, someone gets butthurt.

yeah I think people take the OT way too seriously. if you want to be serious, go to the political board.

Tigerdroppings is starting to be linked to more and more stuff (notably Cracked and a lot of news places during the GeauxJudge stuff) and it makes sense that Chicken doesn't want some crazy arse threads ruining the profitability.

It does look like they are pulling the trigger faster on anchoring/whacking threads, but I'd hazard a guess that it's resulting in less bannings too.

chicken, I respect you a lot man, this really doesn't fall on you. This coming from one professional admin to another. I can't come up with one off the top of my head due to the nature of anchor/whacking erasing all history but there have been several lately.

solution, make me a mod, or just give me access to all the deleted/anchored threads (I know you still have them in a mod panel) and let me comb them.

You might need a "mod" type like me (not me specifically) to balance out the white knighting that's been going on.

Anyways chicken, kudos man I used to run 2-3 popular forums years ago and I know the challenges it brings, overall you are doing the best you can and overall, TD is a great site, just the OT has been watered down is all.

You need a good example? This thread got anchored? And it pretty much perpetuates my point. Can you give me a specific reason why THIS thread was anchored? I've seen more like this, none go by the FAQ anchor rules, yet inexplicably get anchored. This is a good starting point.

I'll hang up and listen, since Chicken himself asked for this exact proof. :popcorn"

How about for starters, this thread?

It's anchored. Why?

This is great launching point for others.

I'd also LOVE to see a list of JUST anchored threads in the past 2 weeks and see the explanation for each questionable one.

There was a kratom thread a few weeks back. Seemed pretty civil and there was nothing against the rules about it. That's all I got offhand.

found it

I challenge Chicken to give me temp MOD access or at least just to the anchored/whacked history for 30 minutes and then have this discussion. At the time of whacks (most whacks are legit btw) and anchors I usually make note, then forget about them because they drop so fast.

Hell chicken, even a screenshot of the past 2 pages of anchored threads would start an actual legitimate discussion.
