Topic: You can shitpost on MC, but make sure not to start any drama!
Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago#5,488
Because that would be a serious crime!
Are the mods of MC trying to imply that shit topics are better than drama topics?
I know that they are trying to help by locking the topics, but I think it defeats the whole purpose of locking a drama thread if you leave shit tier DM wannabes, troll all over the board. If the problem in the drama topic isn't sorted it usually leaks onto another topic or onto another BBS. Thus causing tension in the board and between other boards.
The amount of quality posts in a drama topic far outweigh those in a shit topic. Are we not trying to improve quality here, instead of diminishing it?
This is a very important thread and you should feel important to post in it.
What? I want to have a discussion about this, I won't let people tell me to politely fuck off.
We all know if I report it nothing will be done about it.
Also just because you know one phrase in Latin doesn't allow you to spew it in every thread.
Inbred shit.

I've filed a few reports on pedo shit in the past, and they were acted on quickly. Just because you file a report doesn't mean that a mod has to act on it.

Drama? If you keep it in the threads, nor hijack the topic, you can can can can
If your IQ is not quite high enough to comprehend? Go to Gullibles where you will find acceptance.

Well then you either weren't paying attention or did not understand, because you're not using it properly.

That's really overused nowadays lol. Calling someone names isn't an ad hom attack, nor is asking someone to type coherently. If he were to say "your argument is invalid; you're a cunt" then it would be an ad hom attack. :D

Good points but "Your argument is invalid; you're a cunt" is still not an ad hom. It's just a poor argument followed by an insult. If you meant "You're a cunt and therefore your argument is invalid" that would be an ad hom. :D
You can insult someone as much as you want during an argument and as long as attacks of character are not a basis for your argument, it's not ad hom. :D

You're right. Trolls on Internet forums are more qualified that college lecturers!

It's just a bit of fun, Broseph. I don't mind if I'm not quite using correctly.

That's what I meant with the semi-colon. "Your argument is invalid, because you're a cunt." :P > You can insult someone as much as you want during an argument and as long as attacks of character are not a basis for your argument, it's not ad hom.
Yeah. Everybody still insists that any personal attack is an ad hom though, especially pedos on AT. :/

@96,241 (A)
That's not an ad hom either. It's an appeal to authority. It's not unreasonable or an attack of character to say that if someone much more qualified than you says you're wrong, you're probably wrong.
In other words, yes, because you are a troll, you are less credible.
Have a nice day :D

I never tried to imply I was, either your lecturer was using it incorrectly or you were. And seeing that you seem to have total faith in your lecturer I'll assume you're the idiot.

I agree, OP. Shitposting of unfunny memes is encouraged, while actual appeals and complaints that warrant attention are silenced. It's nice that this place doesn't take itself so seriously, but shitposts and recycled content make my eyes bleed. If the shitposts had an ounce of wit to them, it wouldn't be so bad...

I disagree because I don't think shitposting or meme spouting is encouraged, and I think complaints are taken seriously. I agree that shitposts and recycled content suck, but there really isn't that much, and it doesn't seem to be encouraged. I also agree that it's nice to not be all serious, and I agree that witty shitposts aren't all bad. If they're clever and can make me laugh I'm OK with them. People who think they're being funny or clever by posting random gibberish need to die.
