Size matters when it comes to the social setting for some ducks, a new study finds.

Ducks are the rapist kings of the bird kingdom and the male and female genitals evolve in an arms race to outdo each other that's terrifying.Duck Penises Grow Bigger Among Rivals

Well I don't know anything "behind the curtain" but I guess Ownership was disapproving of the way the politics forum was going and was testing the waters (he banned the guy who was compulsively copy pasting from thedonald.w) then shit hit the fan and he let go of the brakes. At that point the ringleaders felt the floor crumble under them and all went to hell. It did expose some unsavory Mayo power types that had been taking cover here but ultimately the way politics is now is incompatible with the relentless partisanship from before and just being righty ain't enough for some.
Good old chain reaction.

Sure, rejecting racists and white supremacy is fine by me. But regulars disappearing all of a sudden doesn't strike something in you? Because I'm sure the regulars aren't racists or whatever because they're still not banned and just decided to leave.
This is giving me headache and I hope to god that what I have in mind is not true

Hardcore trumpers who've been fed a steady diet of "traditional media is all SJW COMMUNIST BABY EATERS" and thus prefer random guy rambling in front of his phone can't survive because new rules demand news and facts being discussed can be traced to reliable non-conspirational media/reputable tweeters like Andy Ngo.
If you think this looks like cleaning up before "things change bigly" eh, who knows but we still have too much people shitting openly on SJW to be mainstream friendly.

But did they lie though? That's what I see too by the way. Everything is turning into woke shitfest. You can't stop me from writing what I feel as long as I'm not crossing the line, same how I can't do that to you too. Come on now, conspiracy theories and racists aside. Where's the "free speech"?
You don't take that away from people all of sudden that were here because of it. Saying whats in their mind without feeling the threat of being watched 24/7. The biggest problem we had in GAF in the past couple of years was console warriors and thats it. Now look at people being divided and bouncing off. Thats surely not something anyone wants at the end of the day

It's impossible to discuss the veracity of facts provided by people who have no interest on ethics and thus don't provide sources. It inevitably leads to a shitfest that breaks down into faction-to-faction combat. Rooting discussions on reputable sources at least provides a solid base to spring from.
Ownership didn't want politics to be a shitfest no more.

I know that very well and you can tell by my clean history. It was more flexible in here for the past 3-4 years so what changed all of a sudden? I'm not here saying you're a cunt bro, nor saying that you shouldn't keep this place under control. At the end of the day nobody wants chaos across the board. I just hope to god that whats happening in politics stays in politics because I have a feeling that whats currently happening over there will get out and slowly reach the gaming section
Have you been keeping tabs on the Politics forum on an incognito tab? I assume not, so you haven't seen what it's been like lately. It got way out of hand, and we've had to react to a serious incident for America on January 6th for various reasons. Nothing to do with Gaming.

No I don't plan on doing that honestly. I'm better off like that if you ask me. The world is already fucked, I don't get on here for more of it. I want to relax and have fun with the others.
You do you brother and I'll stick to what I do best which is the gaming section. And I hope to god that one day the gaming section won't get infected for any reason.

A lot of the regulars we like overreacted, and that cost them. A set of reasonable rules were put in place. The most triggered users couldn't handle it, and got banned. Then other users who are normally quite calm took the bannings as a harbinger of doom and eventually it became an increasing domino effect of a self fulfilling prophecy due to tribal paranoia. The same overreaction happened in 2016 too but on the other side of the coin.
The truly partisan and close minded are somewhat of a lost cause, but the more reasonable ones we lost are a tragedy since they got swept away in the commotion. At the end of the day, however, all actions are the responsibility of the individual, and if most had just took a break to calm down, I don't think we would have seen as big of a bloodbath as we did.
All the melodrama and self bannings are pretty selfish, IMO. If they cared about the cause, they would have stayed to argue it within the guidelines.
You'll be the first to know if I lose my mind and dye my hair purple, no worries.

I find it a bit curious that some people lament the deletion of some threads and citing "muh free speech", like free speech gives you a guarantee to talk fucking absolute shit and be an asshole in general. I still think that you can say whatever you want on GAF as long as you aren't behaving like a total asshole all the time and attacking everyone. The Alanah thread and the GB thread were deleted/closed because it degraded into ad hominems based on body features of people and health conditions (like Jason's diabetes). Now I'm not saying that I don't enjoy shitposting from time to time but when a thread has prolonged activity like that, shit needs to calm down.

GAF is one of the few places where NOT everything is politics. One can give opinions on the hobby without first checking a list of blackballed names or forum-approved political viewpoints. This environment allows like minds to meet and form connections without fear of being backstabbed or reported to the powers that be for petty reasons.
Walking away from it all because you can't talk about one piece of your particular politics is incongruent with how the community rebuilt itself over the last 3 years. I'm happy for all the dissatisfied liberals and passionate middle-of-the-roaders who got a taste of conservative viewpoints on GAF, even if they scurried at the first sign of trouble. Better luck next patriotic resistance.
I've taken a few tours of politics board since its inception and it ain't the board it was even a year ago. The "50 posts minimum" was a nice temporary dam. However, an increasing number of posters began signing up / returning and heading straight to politics board without much mod intervention (the community did its part to point it out, at least), and the quality of discussion dropped in tandem. The drop in quality was anticipated. Regulars suggested different ways to address it, such as adding a ratio ceiling to the # of posts you could make in politics in relation to other boards. I still think a ratio would do wonders, but in the end, Politics board continues to serve its purpose as a honeypot for people who can't help but make everything political.
Even under the best of circumstances, stolen election articles and discussion was only gonna result in another russiagate-tier board takeover where every topic and every retort would spiral back to "stolen election" like everything spiraled back to "but but Trump". The board already suffers enough of those fools. We didn't need a republican version doing it too.

They deserved to lose. Gill played well and bowling was excellent. Australia needs to get off their high horse and go back to basics.
