No slack for ROB

a guest Oct 27th, 2015 3 Never
  1.  
  2. (06:22:35) +Kazisho: Volphied370, any news on /vr/? I see the rules have been changed again.
  3. (06:22:59) +Volphied370: nope
  4. (06:23:06) +Volphied370: just ROB is mad https://boards.4chan.org/q/res/496346
  5. [...]
  6. (06:23:21) +Kazisho: Yeah, I was planning to read that one later anyway.
  7. (06:23:32) +Kazisho: I hate this ROB guy.
  8. (06:23:44) +Volphied370: he's also updated his blog saying that he's staying in /vr/ ''because it has lax moderation just as /v/''
  9. (06:24:50) +Volphied370: http://rememberedoldbuddy.tumblr.com/
  10. (06:30:37) +Kazisho: >From the blog author: /vr/ now officially the new home of R.O.B. threads.
  11. (06:30:48) +Kazisho: How is circlejerking related to videogames.
  12. (06:31:53) +Volphied370: >muh culture
  13. [...]
  14. (07:54:37) +AoC: I dislike R.O.B. for evading bans and then having a "lol, leave him alone" mod waiver
  15. (07:57:25) +Volphied370: ^agree, his threads don't belong in /vr/
  16. (08:00:02) +AoC: his threads belong nowhere, they've increasingly become a cult of personality. In a better world there'd be more content and discussion linked to it, but every single thread turns into a fight where we have to take a side to delete the spam while protecting stuff that would be deleted if it wasn't with a !Oopsie tripcode
  17. (08:03:07) +fsdfdsf: This is so long, but I can't stop reading
  18. (08:04:14) +AoC: http://rememberedoldbuddy.tumblr.com/post/44857563992/from-the-blog-author-about-monday-night
  19. (08:04:23) +AoC: You know what, fuck the inner party
  20. (08:04:34) +AoC: ban evasion is permabanned no exceptions
  21. (08:07:01) +Anikitan: i really would like to know how he "appealed" ban evasion
  22. (08:07:22) +Anikitan: he was ban evading because he was posting kpop and shit like that
  23. (08:07:27) +Anikitan: and then kept evading to do it
  24. (08:07:35) +Anikitan: unless he's just bullshitting me
  25. [...]
  26. (08:07:49) +AoC: chances are he talked to a mod in irc, and they made an uninformed decision that we're stuck with
  27. (08:08:06) +Anikitan: hella gay
  28. (08:08:14) +Anikitan: i'll just BR him for off-topic then
  29. (08:08:21) +Anikitan: talking about how he looks like footballers
  30. (08:08:35) +AoC: nah, policy is policy and we're but enforcers
  31. (08:08:59) +Anikitan: just because he appealed his ban evasion ban doesn't make him exempt to breaking the other rules
  32. [...]
  33. (08:18:15) +Kazisho: >2. Yes, I did evade said ban.
  34. (08:18:19) +Kazisho: >4. No, R.O.B. threads are not banned from /v/.
  35. (08:18:22) +Kazisho: Well, they are now.
  36. (08:18:49) +Kazisho: We allowed these threads for too long anyway.
  37. (08:19:29) +Kazisho: Considering they also are repeated, popular threads, they could even be moved to /vg/ at this point if we end up having to defend them again.
  38. (08:20:34) +Kazisho: Reading the threads reminds me of the Gaia avatars in /b/.
  39. (08:21:37) +Kazisho: He is using the "video game-related" excuse to roleplay.
  40. (08:21:58) +Kazisho: They aren't anything else.
  41. (08:22:09) +Kazisho: Such threads wouldn't be allowed on /a/.
  42. (08:22:15) +Kazisho: Nor would they be on other boards.
  43. (08:22:53) +AoC: I get what he's trying to do, just be a positive feel good thread in a sea of bile and anger
  44. (08:23:13) +Volphied370: but /vr/ is NOT a sea of bile and anger
  45. (08:23:22) +AoC: but I seriously don't see why we have to make exceptions for people that thumb their nose at moderation
  46. (08:23:27) +Kazisho: He is aware that his threads cause shitstorms.
  47. (08:23:32) +Volphied370: this is retarded what he's trying to fo
  48. (08:23:33) +AoC: >[...]Or maybe not, since I can clearly see that rule enforcement is almost as lax as /v/.
  49. (08:23:37) +Volphied370: do*
  50. (08:23:54) +AoC: it's more trouble than its worth, that much is true
  51. (08:23:57) +Kazisho: He said he created these threads to "make a safe haven for people who enjoy video games".
  52. (08:24:04) +Volphied370: ^hahaha, no. /vr/ is heavily moderated
  53. [...]
  54. (08:26:05) +Kazisho: Why is there even a "donate" button on his tumblr.
  55. (08:26:51) +AoC: I think that's standard in most templates
  56. (08:27:34) +AoC: or so I want to think, but we're talking about the guy that posts vacation pictures of himself in the "videogame accessory discussion thread"
  57. [...]
  58. (08:37:38) +nemo`: soooo are R.O.B. threads no longer welcome on /vr/?
  59. [...]
  60. (08:39:44) +AoC: and they're still contested nemo`
  61. (08:40:23) +AoC: my interpretation is that they don't belong in /vr/ since they're not retro game discussion and the ROB OP knows as much
  62. (08:40:37) +nemo`: yeah I'm no big fan of them either
  63. (08:40:42) +Thesmothete: I have like a billion people on my SF, but alright, one sec
  64. (08:41:14) +nemo`: but they seem to be at least somewhat supported by the community so removing them will be difficult
  65. (08:41:17) +Thesmothete: As for R.O.B., I honestly don't know. I consider him and what he does secondary.
  66. (08:41:37) +Volphied370: not really, /vr/ seems to hate them from what I've seen
  67. (08:41:49) +Thesmothete: I've seen most enjoy them.
  68. (08:42:00) +Sange: Aren't those threads just one guy blogging?
  69. (08:42:01) +Thesmothete: /vr/ doesn't really get as angry as /v/.
  70. (08:42:43) +Volphied370: It's a shitty RP done by one guy
  71. (08:42:53) +Volphied370: plus he admitted to ban evading
  72. (08:43:52) +AoC: made a /j/ thread about it, see if we can get clarification
  73. (08:44:09) +Sange: I think the less concessions made to what's not explicitly related, the better
  74. (08:46:37) +AoC: I'm mostly worried about the tumblr development
  75. (08:47:22) +AoC: guy is getting a big head. let it take root in /vr/ and it could very well corrupt the board not unlike YWIG was changing early /jp/
