I don't know what induces more bile.
The fact I can no longer tell trolls from non-trolls.
The way people just irritate me here, despite being perfectly lovely.
How I see the mod process and think "but it's rubbish, it is actually rubbish" and then feel bad because by thinking that you are implying mods are rubbish, which isn't the case, you just see that there are people who are modding who do not have the personality for modding. That is very confusing. A mod should not obviously play favourites, nor should they tout the rules themselves, they should not make allowances and they should have a backbone. This is not directed at any mod. It's just a frustration, a stupid frustration.
I hate the fact that people miss the opportunity to have a thorough discussion, an actual legitimate discussion, in favour of spamming with images. Seriously dudes, seriously, i'd rather take a question semi-seriously and respond than just spam it. Sure someone may be trolling, but sometimes "troll" questions are legitimate ones. Legitimate ones I have heard people ask here, in the real world. I don't like to think of someone stumbling across threads and thinking "that's how they deal with our questions, with that?".
I hate that this forum ... it's ridiculous. It is. It is utterly ridiculous.
I like forums, i'm an antisocial big mouth who likes to cut off communication but still shout out unwanted opinions. I like it. I like that I don't know anyone, I like that you don't know me, I like the range of questions (however endless and repetitive some of them are), I liked that people would take the time to respond with care and passion. I hate that i'm still coming here, I dislike how I now come here and it's only out of habit. A habit that is no longer fulfilling.
What infuriates me, really infuriates me, is that I know if this forum were the one I mod I would have shut down a lot of the current threads a long time ago. They would be shut down because people are not adding to the topic, because the messages are spam, because the reactions are not what I would call good conduct, because of the pattern found in the individuals posting style. But that's because when I have power I get all crazy and selectively weed out individuals who seem to deliberately try to stir up trouble. Within forum rules or not there is something called discretion. You lock, you remove posts, you discuss. But this isn't my forum, and that isn't how things are done.
I am also aware discussing mod actions is a no-no. Is discussing mod actions on another site if this were another site and you have the power a no-no? Is it? I don't know. Who cares. I'm only posting because it's a break and there's internet and coffee and love. Oh and frustration, frustration that I can't anonymously browse without coming across posts and thinking
WHY ARE YOU PROVING THAT YOU ARE NO BETTER THAN THEM, DO YOU WANT TO BE SMACKED WITH A WET FISH, DO YOU WANT TO FACE POST-RAGE, DO YOU WANT ME TO BEAT YOU WITH STALE BREAD.
Then calmness.
So much calmness.
It's not my problem.
Edit:
This is very passive aggressive.
It's my default posting style.
it's okay, I understand that I wasn't here for a while and you needed to vent...
