Everything is ego, why should it matter how I seem ?
There's multiple ways to display the ego, and in the end it comes down to the expressions' level of collateral damages. In such cases by aiming to leave as little change as possible beyond making needed patterns be pre-established, you ensure equilibrium in lieu of other problems.
Yes Snowflake. And in this case, those patterns keep members. SC did lose HALF of it's community before and in my opinion it's a bit critical to be losing members at this point in time.
Was I mean to Cawk ? Yes. Were people delighted ? Absolutely. Are people upset with my personality in how I handled Cawk ? Only you. It's like you want a safe space from big bad ego in SC. In SC Turncoat, IN SC.
At the least he was told in advance what would happen if he didn't knock it off, but he was dumb.
This is like when TK began warning Meta to shut up and he didn't.
It's about precedent and setting an example. It's not just as simple as if you did something, it's also the "how" and the "why".
You're ignoring the "why" and deluding yourself into thinking I was power tripping. Maybe while you prop yourself up with "look at me, which mod is best". I'll tell you again, many were annoyed with the faggotry and never wanted to see it anymore. Had I known I was able to silence Cawk's ability to post images in discord I would have cooled him off with that instead.
Again, that image being constantly posted WILL cause members to go elsewhere, and it's foolish to let it carry on if we wish a successful community.
Look what happened to EC. We had members like Cawk, Edvard, and a few other SC members I don't care to mention, destroy EC with material that repels members.
As for my logic posing risk for the community ? LOL.
When you start drawing lines, that's then they can use that to do more damage. It tests your emotions and your sense of consistency, and when they can get a response out of you that typically means they are winning.
Surprises start drama, and drama is where changes can happen.
Yeah well I don't really think like a cuck, and I'll push back. It's not me drawing lines either. If the material makes me gag, that's not me drawing lines. When the material makes the community gag, same shit, so I did something about it.
I'm not the only one who doesn't want to see it again, it's a quality of life issue. I'm close to bailing actually, this is becoming pointless.
Your logic poses risks towards the community as well.
Everything I do, and what I've done contributes big time to the community. Even every post I've written here, in this very thread is SC gold as a matter of fact.
It's a staple, a classic, but I wouldn't even call my own stuff "Gold".
This is SC gold. Just because I'm the first to point it out, doesn't mean I'm being conceited. Isn't this what we do in SC ? So happens it is.
Look at this. Cawk looks dumb. Ed looks dumb. Meanwhile, they are. And your argument isn't working that well for you either.
I won't sugar coat it, and this isn't my ideology, but the truth is most people don't give a shit about Cawk, while the majority was pleased with him getting kicked today. Again, not my ideology, it's just the way it is.
This poses tons of clique-ish ingroup risks, and makes it about trying to become "The Cool Kids Club".
Next thing you know you'll be trying to have it be a protected board where only the approved are allowed to talk, like you proposed back on S-C.
Slippery slope, and we need to work hard to not turn this into some sort of gated community hugbox neutered of it's culture and variety.
No. It does not make it about trying to become part of the cool club. It's just raw truth. You seem to be having issues accepting it. Don't resist those facts. The Truth is unbeatable, and if you struggle to agree with it, you'll surely lose. No risks. I promise.
Jim himself said ban the needy fucker today.
...do you even figure why he'd say that? You've used his backpat as fuel twice in this discussion already.
Don't risk being a tool others can just use, you think you're better than that.
So now I did this on Jim's command now ?
I stress even Jim said so to convey the level of demand for something to be done. Coming from Jim, that is extreme.
Not to sound authoritative or anything, as I know you're sensitive to that, but I let him off with a kick.
It causes chain reactions, and you're just focusing on an outlet for your feelings while they still feel overstimulating.
Some tea and some quiet time should show you the error of such choices.
That's not abusive, while less abusive than burning a repulsive image into the minds of members. Some of which have ditched SC before, over such antics.
Advise they block them or make a role that can't post images: Problem Solved.
Even Vard advocates banning Cawk, more than I do. MAJOR TRUTH.
You're aiming to use a list of people behind you to justify an act that is otherwise outside of character.
At the end of the day, the kick/ban won't matter, but how you handled it will be everything. This is how reputations are made.
And Vard, he can't process that fact right now, he just wants to advertise how much we'll miss Luna, and why wouldn't he? We've all known for years how he's a tool out of his own neediness. On that note he has some serious attachment issues. Like damn. I don't hate Luna or anything, but I'm not worried about her not being on top anymore lol. Let her detach from people in peace.
Yeah... but your bias about him that makes sense to have currently distracts from the real subject here: You.
I couldn't bother reading the rest. I can feel this clawing away on the same energies that produce success in life.
I only have the truth, and it's not all that important to me if it's perverted in your mind.
