Sick of the retarded flame-wars between grown men spilling into random threads?
I think we ALL are.
If consenting adults choose to engage in shit-slinging, that’s fine with me, but there’s no reason for the drama to spill into other people’s threads.
From hereon the “Dream Team” brand of endless flame-wars will be contained in their main thread, which I have renamed “THUNDERDOME” (thanks, @Nitecrawler).
Anyone who WANTS to join in on the drama is totally welcome to do so, but if we see it spill into other threads, suspensions will be handed out.
If you see something, say something. We sometimes get complaints about us ignoring issues that none of us @moderators were even aware of - so please flag posts. None of those reports are made public, and they’re necessary for us to do a good job.
ALSO, please use the “IGNORE” feature to hide annoying users and their threads.
This isn’t Reddit. We only have a few rules - so you have to curate your own experience on here to some degree.
There have been requests to elaborate on those “few rules.”
Here’s a list:
No serious harassment:
Regular on-topic arguments and insults are totally allowed, but if your beef is spreading into others threads, then we will take action. POST STALKING, AKA using posts from here or off-site in order to dig up information to use against OGers, is of the spirit of MasterShake and will not be tolerated.No Impersonation:
No posing as OGers or real regular people that we would know. Celebrity parody accounts are fine.No doxxing:
Zero tolerance for even HINTING at using someone’s personal data against them.
MasterShake was permabanned for ATTEMPTING to doxx a user and cause them harm IRL, so that should give you an idea of how seriously we take those types of offenses.No egregious spam:
You’re allowed to talk about whatever you want on here, but there’s no reason for one subject to spread into a ton of different threads. When we see this happening, we will contain them, just like we’re doing with these drama threads here.Nothing illegal according to US law:
No links to illegal downloads or streams. No “questionable” porn or anything else of the sort.NSFW will be moved to The Lounge
No nudity in the main forum. As the title implies, if you’re posting a video or image that could get someone in trouble at work, then it will be deleted or moved to The Lounge.
As I’ve stated before - nobody on here acting like a normal human being is in danger of getting suspended or banned. You have to WORK at it.
I hate heavy-handed modding, and definitely opt for a more personal form of moderation, in which we reach out via DM to deal with stuff.
Believe me when I say we have been dealing with THIS type of drama directly, far longer than any sane person would. Everyone has now received plenty of warnings, and so the nonsense shall be contained henceforth!
Please keep in mind - internet is NOT serious business.
If you’re not having fun here, then you’re doing it wrong.
