Why do you type so strangely? What led you to wanting to connect all the threads in the forum in such incomprensible manner?

I am sure there is internal logic to your method, but through the years I could never tell what hidden connections you saw when tsgging the threads like you did.

and yet somehow still less pathetic than 95% of shit threads here that get posted on /main/

> So if someone is being annoying with things like tagging, guess what? Xenforo (the forum software that powers Agora) allows mods and admins to prevent users in specific roles from messing with thread tags. The solution is just to put that person into a role that doesn't allow tagging. That solves the behavior and allows the user to still participate on the forums

Okay, his tagging is annoying. Petition the admin to create a new user role just for him so he can't tag threads. He also spams links in chat, so you ban him from the chat or create a special chat room where he's isolated from everyone else. He keeps making threads and posts that most people find completely incomprehensible, so you limit him to a special sub-forum or make it so he has to ask permission before making a post. What's left for him to participate in at that point? You are policing everything he does and are effectively telling him "we are going to hold your hand until you start doing everything differently." And now, if you want to at least try to be fair, you're also committing yourself to doing all this stuff for every other user who might make a bunch of incomprehensible posts in the future. By creating all these special cases for this one particular user you've blurred the line between what is and isn't considered acceptable and have created a bunch of pointless containment forums/chats that make controlling the forum discourse more complicated, all while still effectively removing him from the site and accomplishing exactly the same thing as a ban. It would be pure mental gymnastics, all to get around having to say the b-word. What's worse, committing to that kind of hand-holding and hands-on moderation would set a bad precedent for the site in the future. I am not going to let Agora turn into another old web forum with a long list of rules and moderators who watch everyone like prison guards.

I've said my piece and am not going to waste any more time arguing over this unless it's with Porcupine himself.

Did the internet run out of porn or something?

> To use this same analogy (which is a stupid one because it implies that not being able to post on a website is as serious as starving to death), "corrective measures" in this situation would have meant locking the kid in a closet where nobody could hear him instead of kicking him out

Actually, it's an apt analogy because it compares appropriate levels of severity when it comes to responding to events. You modified the example to add nothing to it because both kicking the kid out and locking them in the closet would be excessive and the wrong solution

> I think you're just offended at the general concept of banning someone from posting on a website and are trying to pretend that coming up with a bunch of arbitrary rules designed to prevent a particular person from doing 99% of what they come to a website to do is somehow better because it technically isn't a ban.

Clearly you haven't been put into any sort of position of authority before, so I'll spell it out for you: moderators, or anyone with authority over a situation, are put in place to keep things in control. They have tools in place to help them to do this. Banning is an obvious one because it is generally the most extreme and one that people don't want to have happen since it involves removing a person entirely from the situation

> A ban kicks someone out entirely. Counteractive measures stops the unwanted behavior without kicking the user out for good. It's like saying that if your kid is hungry and they keep complaining, don't feed them food. Kick them out of the house since both solutions stop you from hearing the kid complain

To use this same analogy (which is a stupid one because it implies that not being able to post on a website is as serious as starving to death), "corrective measures" in this situation would have meant locking the kid in a closet where nobody could hear him instead of kicking him out. It's the same result with less bullshit and beating around the bush about what you're actually doing.

I like porc but the quality of the forum suffers when

> dsafdsf hello dsafjklsdflk what dsfjlkdfsjlksdfsfdajksdf am kjsdf i ljkfsd saying aljksdfa who ljksdfa really ljksdfa knows ljksdfa i jkldfsa guess jklfsd it aljksdfa does kjldfsa not ljkdfsa matter ljksdfa

basically this is allowed.

porc needs to learn to post more coherrently otherwise he will never be accepted anywhere

A ban kicks someone out entirely. Counteractive measures stops the unwanted behavior without kicking the user out for good. It's like saying that if your kid is hungry and they keep complaining, don't feed them food. Kick them out of the house since both solutions stop you from hearing the kid complain

>>0x00000d

> All of these things could be solved by ignoring Porc and/or limiting what he can do through adjusting user permissions in Xenforo. The jannies are literally retarded

Sounds functionally identical to a ban on posting to me.

A few users are already claiming things like your fanfic being sexfic, since they were never able to see it and now the mods deleted the original.

Difamation was to be expected, however I was surprised by how quickly the jannies were supported by people who seldomly posted or interacted with you. Do you have any thoughts on that?

I support the porc in exile.

what programming lang is this?

Some_Porcupine, how would you have felt if you hadn't ate breakfast today?

Porc, I appreciate you posting this in the right board.

I'm sorry about what happened. If anyone wants to talk to you here, I'll allow it.

I wouldn't have had any problem with this post on /main/ if you had done something like

Indian Altchan, "Hi, this is an Indian culture chan, are there other Indians here?"

See rules on self promotion, "The problem is never the plug; the low effort is the problem. If you're going to post a quality post in the correct thread that includes links to your stuff, I'm very inclined to allow it. But otherwise fuck off."

" *Porcupine had been:

Repeatedly flooding threads with low-quality replies and cross-links to other threads that were only tangentially related to the one he was posting in.

Making new threads where every post was copy-pasted from either another thread or another website.

Repeatedly flooding the chats with YouTube embeds that nobody watched.

Repeatedly flooding the chats with copy-pasted tweets and articles that nobody read.

Repeatedly spam-tagging threads with tags that didn't make any sense and that broke the search engine by making it turn up faulty results.

Repeatedly copy-pasting site content, including chat logs, into various AI things and either leaking it to the wider internet or reposting it back here."

SP: So it came to this. Was I bad, was I good, The truth is, you can't outrun yourself because there is no one left, then. Abandoned by all, denying (self-)love, all there is it to admit - there are no limits. If I was or wasn't, it isn't on me, - because no one can see above the limits of one's perceptions! Posse or not, it is vaporwave (or not), because if not, they don't play modern pop there anyway! So, play then, vaporwave!!! Teh purrfect critique!!!

/Whole "bus" cheers/

the "fanfic" in question (amost forgot):

##1 (for himself; aloud):

Why! For the love of God, why! How many times I have to say to that twerp, vaporwave is when... [ah]. It is not like I don't like him, but maybe I do ...!

S_P (thinking): [self]

I wonder. While HK was bit weird yesterday, I wonder how is our relationship, actually. I might get him, yet, maybe I don't want to know because I am in denial and when I try, it is only worse... Fuck it we ball, gonna make some posse art, post it and pretend how on-nose it is; everyone does...

##(V)2:

"Fummie look! Total spergout in chat again!"

V's husband:

"No surprise, yet --- fummie? How."

"Teehee. You know what? It get really tiresome how we bicker on about S_P. What he thinks! I am the queen(king) of chat! But if I will post all the time, others will assume I am as bad and dull- as him! If he is h[e, one wonders], lalala[...]" (/shared speech/thoughts with ##1, at the same time.)

##2:

"Noted. Now, [where were I...] - do you see it! Again! How that place can be so... [ah] Time to log off, or [together with HK, at the same time:] I will come and kick S_P's ass!"

"Woah. From what I 'learned' of him, that guy/dude/emo kid must be fucked as hell. On other hand, So... No. They sound pretty alike at times. Bay-da-wei, do you think who is worse, Pickle, Vetu, Denver Asexual, the q... nes... Nesquik, Parzival, S_P or Antoine? They are all so... Lol[...]"

###: But can I ask you something: Why are you like "this"? Not implying anything, but I was always confused as to "who" or "what" was you; A bot? An insane person? A character? An ARG? Why you write like this? Why were you called "Porcupine"? This kind of thing, you know, lol.

reply in embeds

But I doubt that even if others would get it, or better that terrible part with V-h got deleted, the form, still, misses something crucial, yet to be believed/solved.

I think, basically, that all I wanted was to write something for the (fun's/whim) sake of it and then let others finish it, as all I can think of, is funny, jokes, innuendos or totally random things too long and complex to ever get explained in talking manner.

I wanted to be remembered no matter what, and that was kinda a wish-came true, also with no matter what -way. I thought I am the next Polansky, and for like the third time, just sperg out bollocks in and out, so I'd feel special (what others think, anyway…) and not like someone who… Need to cope with "everybody got it the same", the way proponents of "reverse (white ivory tower lit-ac "decolonize!" tumblr girl -sorts) racism" tend to do - to my dismay to not be that obtuse when also still denying I cope so -not…

Have a nice day! (Meant sincerely. I am not mad, I will maybe be in the future, like week~month from now, but now I am just a little sad but also alway knew that the more "cool" I am, the more "corrupted" I am underneath all that (as the saying with a tree goes).)
