    I'm on your side autismdragon. If you're not a fan of one comm's content and block it, the last thing you want is to see it in the comms you do like.

      That sounds like a great idea, the mods should allow normal dunk tank content in the dunk tank again and then those of you who don't want to see it can block the dunk tank and all the content you don't want to see will be blocked with it

        "if you dont let me post whatever I want to the dunk tank with no standards of quality, I'm going to flood other comms with dunk tank content and fuck the people who dont want to see it because Im annoyed with the mods"

        You sound like a petulant child who didnt get his way and the fact that so many people here don't seem to get that is infuriating lol. Like grow up.

        I have refrained from calling you out or replying to you directly, but why don't you or another person upset with rule 8 just request a comm here on HB for shitreactionariessay or whatever you decide to call it?

        I think the reasoning behind rule 8 is fine, I don't think everyone who like the_dunk-tank style content cares about what the lowest common denominator is posting. Public figures say enough stupid shit as it is. Who knows, maybe you are vindicated in the end and the new comm eclipses the dunk tank.

          but why don't you or another person upset with rule 8 just request a comm

          If I remember correctly, when this issue has come up before, which it has several times, mods said that no comm requests for rule 8 posts would be granted. I even suggested a weekly megathread where people could post and talk about all the low-hanging fruit they wanted, but it would be contained to a single, easily-ignored if chosen, thread. But no one seemed to like that idea. kitty-birthday-sad

      Yeah thats exactly my problem. I actually love dunk tank content but there are tons of people who block it because they dont want to see it. It leaking is not good.

          Yeah I'm kind of confused as to why people are acting like you can't have it both ways. It's a website. You can both have a place for people to freak out over posts from pepehitler69 and whatever ghoulish thing the NYT just said. It's no more a detriment to quality than the same 20 people calling Tom Friedman a ghoul for the 40th time.

            I agree, but I would think the onus is on the disaffected rule 8 posters to request a dedicated comm for it.

              The dedicated comm has already been determined to be /c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml as it's an already existing community and it also helps foster increased interactions between Hexbear and Lemmygrad.

              The disaffected rule 8 posters already have an alternative space available to them, those that refuse to use it for some reason don't somehow gain the right to post their content elsewhere just because they're frustrated with the rules.

              We've been through this discussion several times already, the official position of the mods is "this content is not allowed on hexbear at all no we won't explain why" as of last time

                  What exactly am I not dealing with that I should learn to deal with? I am currently being paid as we speak so I'm sitting around engaging in a discussion about a rule instead of working. I'm not posting stuff that breaks the rule, I'm not proactively posting about the rule. I discuss it when it comes up.

                  A person on an internet forum is posting about relevant topics in a thread, deal with it

                    i don't care who you are, what you do, or how you feel

                    rules there, its not changing until it is, do something else with your time

                    you are just angry at a rule you can't change, on no basis except that you think its lame, you're not doing anything that isn't childish

                Do you mean admins? Because if this is a comm request the moderators shouldn't be needed. (I certainly wasn't asked.)

                I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't see why there would be a problem with the hypothetical new comm and am curious to know why.

                In any case, the lemmygrad comm others have mentioned is available. I do not agree with you in much of this thread, but it's not a big enough deal to start beef over.
