Imp, for me the gaslighting is the biggest problem. I will be sad if you don't offer your input to discussions, you are one of the moral compasses of this forum.
So since gaslighting is the biggest problem and you are one of the biggest gas lighters. How can we help you solve your problem?
I sent Whirly a PM asking if he wanted to cut the crap on the endless race threads. He has declined to answer to I will assume he won’t. So therefore we will have double the amount of racism threads for the near future because every time he makes one.m, I will make one.
Imp I would suggest making a bulk racism thread and make it mandatory that the go in there so this place is less of a cesspool.

Hey, we're mostly civil in the OTF, we already get Bash flaming everyone in sight and constantly baiting Surtur (which the mods entirely seem to not care about), and we don't need any more of it! We actually work hard on maintaining an active and friendly community there for the most part, other than the GDF flame wars spilling over.The main issue in the GDF from what I can tell as mostly an outsider is Whirly. He makes thread after thread about the same race baiting stuff, and actively ignores anyone trying to start real discussion in favour of further baiting the usual people.
TI started doing the same thing in response, adding fire to the flames, but he wasn't doing anything that Whirly wasn't already doing. Also one can have a normal discussion with TI, it's much harder to get Whirly to engage in a debate without him diverting or ignoring. Either way, TI shouldering the blame for this is abject dishonesty.
I like Whirly, but he's been going full guns with the shitposting lately and then acts as if he isn't the main player in making this place a dumpster fire, and instead complains about 'gaslighting' and acting like everyone who isn't him, Rob, Bash and Adam are literal Nazis. It's silly.
You make a good point.

Yeah, why don't you guys just start by not posting so many threads? It makes discussion muddled. There's a GDF racism thread now so any racism-related stuff can go in there.

I’ll actually respond in kind.
I only started making the Race threads to mock/mimick Whirly.
Everything went perfectly as I planed (2 minute plan) and it disrupted this whole place.
I figured I would makes as many racism posts as whirly did. Someone would call me out for doing it (ignoring whirly does the exact same thing) then the excuse would be “well this is why what you did is different”
That excuse sure and Shirley showed up in the form of “well you did it 10 times today he only did it 5 so that’s why it’s different.” Surtur then asked a reasonable question “when past 5 does it become excessive.” That was never answered either.
So before all this I hardly made race threads because Whirly did it, but then it was every day 5-10 times a day. For weeks if not months now.
I did it for 2 days and they melted down. But never said anything to Whirly about his ridiculous exessive posting on it daily here for months.
An I only did it to highlight the nonsense of it all.
Talk about a double standard.
Originally posted by Old Man Whirly!I didn't say that, did I? I said that perhaps you should just have a single thread for specific topics. That way, things are less fragmented. For example, there's the Donald Trump thread. Anything Trump related goes in there and furthers the pre-existing conversation. Anything Coronavirus related goes in the Coronavirus or COVIDiots thread. If you have to make a thread, why not limit it to, say, one or two a day? Because you and Broly have been non-stop for the best part of a week, and it's getting silly.
Disagree I am trolling you. I'll rephrase why don't you want to see threads based on msm stories? Why do you want to censor my content?
My point is that this kind of thread-spamming is specifically what Impediment was talking about when he said the GDF was turning into a cesspool. And he's right: it makes it less cohesive and only furthers tribal conflicts, instead of actually focusing on one or two good topics at a time.
Originally posted by BrolyBlackI do find it strange that you were reported for making loads of threads, specifically called out for it, with no mention of Whirly.

From what I could tell, you were essentially parodying his sudden outburst of racism threads. Whilst that doesn't exactly help the situation, you getting flack for it and not him does highlight, well, let's say... certain members' perspectives on general events.
