What you do with it will determine whether you’re being overzealous or not. I don’t know. I’m sad it’s come to this. We’ve had a good run without too much interference but I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.
Alright, Suitcase. Do your thang. I’ll respect you and Taysh no matter what you do.

For what it’s worth, this is basically an attempt to curtail Chazfullmetal. The rest of you aren’t so bad.
Comment ID #83638
I understand, I’m just a little more self-conscious about my activities within threads.
Comment ID #83641
Yup, things could’ve been a lot better without the useless threads.
So would dead threads undergo cleanup or will it be there for history purposes?
And are you able to pin this thread?
Comment ID #83644
*Sigh* I will miss derailing the pointless threads but this really is for that best. Alright Captain Suitcase, I’ll keep my random comments in the Random chat.
*Salutes and walks away*
Comment ID #83646
And I thought this forum wouldn’t need moderation.
Ah well, that’s what happens when your audience expands. Decent people will come in from time to time, but most of the people who will be joining will be trolls and such.
You may also want to check Candybooru. Some of the Anons are pretty outrageous, but happily, most of them are pretty decent.
Comment ID #83647
You can still derail pointless threads, they’ll just be deleted in the end either way.
All insta-to-be-buried threads should be filled with fruit babies.
Comment ID #83649
That is a wonderfully horrible idea Toasty, I would but it would lag the server down and then there would be much bitching from everyone.
Comment ID #83688
I’m honoured that i’m worth it.
But, i’ve seen un-moderated sites turn to shit eventually, so this is a step in the right direction
Comment ID #83690
And it has just occured to me that this is probably going to make my unstable social reputation on this site worsen. Ah well, whats done is done, so dont get mad at me it wont fix anything
Comment ID #83691
Ya know you can edit posts right, you don’t need to make a whole new one.
Comment ID #83692
I’m keeping the old threads in a database in case they matter, but they’re not publicly visible.
Comment ID #83693
Well I think I shall be using the emotive response of *heavy sigh* less often now. Yeah this definatly need to be done eventually.
Comment ID #83698
So does that mean all old threads or just shit ones will go in the database?
Comment ID #83702
Just shit ones.
Comment ID #83711
Is a thread about “the top 5 emotions that will run through my head when i receive a copy of the BCB book” a bad topic?
Comment ID #83715
Yes
Comment ID #83719
……what about stuff like- when im drunk these are the philosophical topics i debate about, or maybe- these are my friends who can help you solve your insane problems because they are about to die or have already experienced just about everything.
or- religious beliefs topic
Comment ID #83721
Oh well. I guess we deserve this. ^_^
Comment ID #83730
I deserve this, not u guys
Comment ID #83735
Oh, but sweetie, I have derailed (and helped derail) countless times in countless threads. You are not alone about being off-topic or silly once in a while. ^_^
Comment ID #83742
Me and Jerk use to be the gods at derailing threads in the middle of summer. Good times, good times.
Comment ID #83743
Now we’re just regular gods. :|
So it goes.
Comment ID #83744
Yup, I’m pretty sure I’m the goddess of cupcakes and waffles.
Comment ID #83749
wtf i thought i was god of cupcakes ![]()
Comment ID #83780
let the purging commence!
Comment ID #83784
what’s next, requiring registration? almost an actual message board now. Granted, I like this, it’s fairly unique.
Comment ID #83785
Will we have a shit topic hall of fame? That’d be hilarious, imho. Like, list a few crap topics and why they are crap.
Comment ID #83802
“Mangoes”
“Actually About Mangoes”
“Post As Someone Else”
“9/11 Thread”
“Religion”
“Random Chat 9: I Am”
Comment ID #83831
Seems fine. At least you’re more lenient than my sensei.
Jerk:NO RANDOM CHATS ARE SHIT THREADS!!!
They belong to the utter crap section.
Comment ID #83886
Still, at least they aren’t appointing mods yet.
Cause you know how corrupt people get with power.
Comment ID #83888
This sounds excellent, Souppy. I’ve personally found it pretty hard recently to find the more interesting threads for all the… well, dross threads lying around. An anti-boring policy is just the job, and still maintains that indie charm this forum has.
Comment ID #83894
The first step happens here. It won’t be long now…
Comment ID #83966
Oh, stop being so pessimistic, dear. ^_^
Comment ID #83983
if they do start to appoint mods… who would it be?
all i can think of are people who are the forums every day…. those people include *ninja, jerk, la commie, ilb, and me…. (there may be more im missing) and of that list… only ilb is suited for mod….
Comment ID #83987
I’d certainly second any nomination of ILB, should it come to that. Tae and Souppy will always be queen and prince consort around here, but ILB’s our best bet for The People’s Princess.
Comment ID #84008
Well, making a forum in this manner was a failed idea to begin with. This thing is unreadable. This is a flame trollzone not a forum.
Use PHPbb guys. It’s free and easier to manage.
Calling comments a forum… pfft…
Comment ID #84016
NEvermind,but yeah i dfjksdgjnffnsdf sdfsffdsf visit the forums every day so i’d 3rd a nominate to ilb as mod but i seriously doubt that’d happen soon so w/e
Comment ID #84045
Guys calm down, this doesn’t mean mods, it just means we have to stop acting like complete idiots. And who says ILB wants to be a mod anyways?
Comment ID #84049
Wow guys, way to derail the thread even by just the slightest.
What I’m wondering is, why was my art thread deleted?
Comment ID #84060
Neeeeevermind! My computer and I are retarded.
Comment ID #84077
So. How does this get implemented then? Are you and Tae just going to keep an eye out for the rubbish threads, or are we looking at more of a “click to flag this” solution?
Comment ID #84083
flagging is just a soft version of morderating, as thread derailers would simply flag threads en masse to be rid of them.
I still think this new policy is a good idea, but i feel kinda bad that i was the one that clinched it. ¬.¬
Comment ID #84087
damn my massive clumsy hands!
*moderating
no im not fat i just have massive hands and my right wrist is screwed up kay?
Comment ID #84091
Believe me when I say there are few things I want less than to become a mod. But I’m also glad that’s not what Soup-gun is doing because I don’t like seeing someone I respect turn into a total cunt. I’m not saying I have anyone in mind, just that even completely irrelevant power does stupid things to people, you dig?
Comment ID #84127
I don’t think we will be appointing mods, it’s just a case of deleting things. Or rather a case of Souppy doing it. I don’t really know how to use the site :-[ but I visit the forums frequently so I know when bullshit happens and so I tend to bitch to him about it.
Comment ID #84128
Honestly, I don’t think it will change much because it’s not that easy to annoy me to the extent of wanting to purge a topic. Until now there was only one topic I BEGGED Souppy to delete.
I’m sure nothing will change, if you guys act like.. not stupid you know?
Comment ID #84129
So its come to this…*nods* alright then. I shall do what i can to keep from derailing.
*salutes* FOR BCB!
Comment ID #84210
Actually having mods wouldn’t hurt.
Head back to the forum index.
Comment ID #83633
This is kinda serious!
From now on we will delete bad topics and bad comments in the forum.
WHAT IS A BAD TOPIC?
Anything boring. This includes “cartoon BCB” (it has been done over and over) and “Mike X Tortoise” (it is really stupid.)
WHAT IS A BAD COMMENT?
Anything boring. This includes mindless chatter in an otherwise-focused topic. Keep mindless chatter to the Random Chat.
WHAT ABOUT THE GOOD COMMENTS IN BAD TOPICS?
They will be deleted. If you post in a bad topic, don’t expect it to last.
ISN’T THIS DRACONIAN YOU’RE BASICALLY TIM BUCKLEY NOW DID YOU KNOW THAT
Don’t fuck with us.
(ok really please let me know if I’m being overzealous, but the intention here is simply to clean up the forum so that a higher proportion of topics are worth reading.)
