As for me and the GG thread, it's really much ado about nothing. I'm not going to go back to doing whatever triggered Khalid.
I gave the new board a grace period where I didn't disturb the shit at all. I agreed wholeheartedly with the community's desire for less moderation and greater freedom. I cheered when posters championed the efficiency of the "ignore" feature and how it would make reporting posts obsolete. I nodded approvingly when to-be mods were campaigning on non-intervention and a light touch.
Then, after the elections, I decided to see if everyone could put their money where their mouths were. I made the types of posts I knew would rustle many jimmies right in the GG thread and waited for the inevitable backlash.
What I hoped would happen: In this new era of light moderation and big-boy pants for everyone, people would accept that sometimes someone says shit you don't like to hear and, unless they're breaking any rules, you're just going to have to live with it.
What actually happened: Mod power abuse which was applauded by the very people who wanted light moderation. Excessive and unwarranted punishment, delivered arbitrarily and with no explanation... Just like on Rerolled.
So rest easy, people. Just like during the significant final stretch of Rerolled's history, I'm going to behave myself and restrict my more controversial points of view to the Rickshaw, where they will be kept safely out of the mainstream and be viewable only to masochists, cancer patients, the uncurably curious, and Hodj.
...At least until a_skeleton_03 blows a gasket because I'm enjoying the board too much and just blanket locks the entire Rickshaw.
