The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[MichaelSomething]

The truth is not every thread is worthy of my awesome and totally smart commentary. Their lost I say!

People are talking about trying to make their DND worlds conform to fit real world logic and what not. Meanwhile I’m trying to figure out how to stat out this monstrosity into my game just because.

Are the two really mutually exclusive?

I think good forum moderation is hard (I've done it for a major non-RPG site, a long time ago), but boy, a certain not-ENWorld site appears to be killing itself off by doubling and tripling down on rules violations being anything that occurs to a moderator at a given moment, rather than any sort of codified rules.

It is shockingly dead over there and yet it is being policed like a full-scale riot is going on.

There’s a joke here but I dare not say it.

There’s also a huge difference between trying to explain something and mindlessly repeating yourself. If your goal is to communicate, you will explain what you mean in more than one way. If your goal is to bludgeon the other person, you will mindlessly repeat yourself.

I think people purposely are obtuse and don't want to understand, it like the song Small Victory by Faith No More: "you still won't hear!"

Some people will find literally anything to argue about. Even if they have to invent a position for you and attack it.

Can we just lump them in with the ones inventing things to be morally outraged by?

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

My least favorite mod style is what I call the “Stalin” or the “there is no war in Ba Sing Se”. The mods don’t talk to the posters, don’t warn them, they just edit and delete posts after the fact to make everything appear perfect all the time. If you violate the rules hard enough they boot you for a few days with no explanation. Creepiest mod style I’ve ever seen.

Compare your favorite mod style to a fruit?

If you’re going to sock puppet, at least change your obvious “tells.”

Most people seem to find it difficult to write differently, possibly for similar reasons to why they find it difficult to think differently.

I'd say chatgpt to the rescue but then you might get accused of plagiarism at best and copyright violation at worst.
