October 12, 20205 yr there's more cloak room in football than ever before as well. holy shit, the game thread was a disaster. i didn't feel like doing anything about it, but damn, yall. you don't want politics in your sports, then don't insert it. i know the athletes are doing their thing, but shit, if it's such a big deal, either ignore it or talk about it on cloak room. so many political comments in that game thread. it's like yall say one thing and do another.

October 12, 20205 yr Shit, I could post a thread in DT about how I hit on the daughter of Lee Harvey Oswald, without knowing who she was until a few days ago, and even though a shitload of you probably hit on her as well (if you were in Austin in the 80s to mid 90s), somebody would try and claim it was CR.

Fucking CR!

October 19, 20205 yr Can confirm CR and DT are still full of retarded cliques who brigade neg regardless of good faith intentions. Fucking ridiculous this shit is still going on. I've been on this site for its whole existence, but because I don't post much and don't have 1000+ rep, I'm in danger of being booted because some butt-hurt children have time to waste going around and mass negging thirty posts at a time. I see this kind of immaturity out in the real world, but it's sad to see it's happening to Shaggy.

Mix and or Match: - Shut down negging - Shut down negging posts in CR and DT - Don't allow more than 1 neg per poster per post per 30+ minutes (or similar) - Don't allow posters with more than 50% posts in DT or CR any neg privileges - Automatically neg posters who give out more than 5 neg in 5 minutes (or similar) - Block negging for posters with a high negs given per actual posts written (or similar) Something needs to be done because DT and CR are a fucking cesspool that threatens discussion on the whole site. I understand it's an election year, but if this childish tribalism isn't addressed it will stay and spread like a cancerous malignancy to the rest of the board worse than it already has. And No, I could care less about the actual neg, it's the automatic banning that sucks. All because kids can't use their words, only mentally masturbate themselves with the neg button.
October 19, 20205 yr I think we'll be fine. Election Day is almost here. I think I've probably given out 1 neg point for every 20 I've received. Besides it gives Irth and Rex Kramer something to do on weeknights. I know it's frustrating for the mods, but I think we can limp into November the way we're going. Football Board is jammed up right now but I think that's a function of the shitshow of our coaching situation. I think a breakout of Covid19 as it hits the next (and hopefully, last) wave next month would be helpful. And we're gonna need a non-political forum for all the murder and mayhem that's going to hit the nation between Election Day and Inauguration Day. We do need a place to discuss what's about the be the darkest chapter in U.S. history in the last 80 years. Garry Coleman could host!

I have found myself hanging around less here due to this. Plus side I am getting more work done.
October 19, 20205 yr FWIW I agree that there is too much loosely-coordinated neg-bombing in the CR. There are right-wing posters that get negged for doing the same type stuff that lots of people do in there. I've seen @Wulaw Horn get negged for having the "wrong" opinion when trying to discuss genuinely. I've seen @GRHorn get negged just for posting relatively normal tweets that just fall on the wrong side (although GR does like to throw troll darts from time to time). I've seen it happen to Anastasis and several other Trump supporters as well. Mostly discussing in good faith, or at least in no poorer faith than most conversation on Surly is. I find myself pos-repping posts that I don't even agree with just to offset that at times. That's why all political threads should just move over there. Get that shit off of the DT and Football boards and into the CR where it belongs, and turn CR back into thunderdome. - Eyes of Texas thread? Cloak Room. - Covid threads? Cloak Room - Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping? Obviously fucking Cloak Room, why was this ever allowed to even exist on the DT? - Megathread of Doom? Cloak Room Make the Cloak Room Interesting again. And get the trash off of the main boards. Edited October 19, 20205 yr by BradInATX
October 19, 20205 yr Well right now there is no Cloak Room, or at least nothing is showing up on the page. Shit is borked.

October 19, 20205 yr Had to go to tigerdroppings b/c no CR and they’re convinced Trump is going to win in a blowout. My college gets more aggy by the day.

October 19, 20205 yr I was going to vote Trump, but now that the cloak room has disappeared under his watch, I'm going to have to switch to Biden.
October 19, 20205 yr board upgrade. reactions list names next to it now. there's a new board as well.
October 19, 20205 yr You can still go to CR threads if you don’t delete your history. Why would anyone delete their browsing history?
October 19, 20205 yr sooo...now all the 'news' threads are going to have to be extra-moderated for political commentary bc there's literally no longer a political board? good luck with the "X wins election - NO POLITICS!" DT thread 😄 does not seem wise but okay lol
October 19, 20205 yr Popular Post Blatant big tech censorship. Repeal section 230 of the communications act.

Yes, he's migrating the CR data to the beyond section at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Good luck finding it.

October 19, 20205 yr The prison went away, so now the prisoners are all just free! It's a jailbreak, motherfucker!
