This post infuriates me. Not because of the content, but because if anyone else posted a twitter message like that they would get a warning. I don't mind the message, I understand that sometimes a source is necessary for continued discourse. However if the rules state that they're not allowed, I wish mods would at least follow them themselves. Or if the rule is so rubbish that mods can't follow it themselves (which I believe it is), then change it to something more reasonable. Somewhere there is a middle ground between spamming twitter messages with no discourse and never being allowed to post a single one despite it being relevant to the discussion at hand.

Let me take care of this.


Would I be right to presume our relationship is still too raw to joke about this?

I'll take this as a maybe and go with:

I'm sure we're all now curious whether Womwom has seen his error and why it needed to be addressed by mod action so that he not make such a problematic error again or if he agrees with Excludos that it's a silly rule enforced in a silly way.

I personally don't get why the text has to come before the source. I got warned for that at one point. I probably understand explaining your viewpoint before reading the article, but then that forces the reader to enter the article with a viewpoint that's not theres.

Its about context. You add context (the bare minimum people are asking for) before the post so people have some understanding on what they're suppose to be reading. You put it afterwords and the onus is then on them to read it multiple times to get it, Once as they scroll down initialy and then again after you have explained what they just read and what they were suppose to get out of it.

Your argument doesn't have to come before the article. Just saying "this tweet is by a journo from the NYT" or "this tweet by x politicians staffer" Is enough to not get actioned. Beacuse even that bare minimum effort is the context people are asking for your post not to be clogging up the thread with filler or worse.

The discussion between Plansix and Danglars on the last two or so pages of the USP thread is honestly a good example of an annoying back and forth which makes the thread unreadable.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

That’s fair. I took the “have people not learned from duke and rolling stone” bait and then got concern trolled. I should have known better.

Danglars rejoins the thread and it immediately turns to shit. It was nice whilst it lasted. I suppose he'll be back here claiming victimhood soon enough.

That’s race in politics for you. You can’t even bring up Kavanaugh on the issues without some ridiculous “derp you feel the need to defend rich white males” epithet.

It kind of turns it from Kavanaugh to how Plansix can’t trust me to actually support justice (faux Justice) and my predilections or whatever.

What can I say, I call it like I see it. Justice only becomes your topic of choice when comes to conservatives. You seem to not give two fucks the rest of the time.

Yes, and since you immediately make it about me and what you think about my historical views on justice as it involves race rather than my views as expressed on Kavanaugh, you’re making it personal. I don’t give a fuck if you presume all this bad intent when I say the justice for accused weighs heavily here, as long as you can contain yourself and keep it to yourself to stay on topic.

Ok, so I have apparently missed the updated header for the thread, which potentially makes my post make less sense than otherwise. Is it now always legal to post sources and tweets as long as they come after your text discussing them? If that's the case then Womwomwom's mistake was a lot smaller than I initially surmised, and I feel I maybe threw him under the bus a little. Earlier it wasn't allowed at all if I recall, before or after the text.

It was never not allowed. People said that it was beacuse they refused to do the bare minimum of giveing context to what they were filling up the thread with.

This is true to some extend. The issue was that after opening the last (and current) thread, the rules got stricter on when you could post tweets and links, but the rules were vague enough that people didn't understand when it was allowed or not, effectively making it illegal unless you felt like rolling the dice on getting a warning or not (Which I assume is the reason why the header has changed to be more clear. I just wanted to confirm it)

<citizen hat> GoTuNk!, Kavanaugh stinks. Why don't we find out the source of the stink before the vote?

<mod hat> Also, to those of you treating this thread like a live report thread, please don't. It's not useful and in fact frustrating to be reading the thread and see a short post that just says "Wow, look at what he said!!!"


I spent several minutes trying to come up with an argument for why that should totally be an emote but all I came up with was that it made me smile.

I think it's fairly clear that there's an echo chamber developping in the thread and that the new rules are to blame to some extent. I'm there for a few days because it's laughable that Kavanaugh is going to get confirmed and I'm going to take this opportunity to laugh, but I certainly don't find the thread to be as good as it used to be.
