Is GAF too strict?

Only the obscenely long wait time for activation is something that bugs me. Especially when people would like to give actual decent additions to conversations.

The only thing that bugs me about it is the random lucky nature of it. I had to wait 6 months to get in. Other posters take a year+. Some get in hours after they register. Pretty lame if you ask me.
 
I see you moved the goal posts. So should Sunhi stop making gifs? Chinner stop being a duck? Should we also get rid of mods? Or are you just assuming preferential treatment comes with pictures? Still hilarious though.




You don't even know what you're arguing anymore do you?

I am suggesting for the removal of pictures being allowed on Neogaf of members for more fair modding so that certain users do not receive stricter treatment based on their race/gender/appearance/etc.

You are just making fun of my posts and the pm I sent you rather than replying to me.

LostVoyager's trolling us right?
No and I do not appreciate people claiming that I am, or going into any thread and adding "ism" to make fun of me or derail threads. This is not about me, this is about the collective equality of GAF. I understand some people do not want the picture thread closed but I feel that it would lead to fairer moderation if GAF was strict on differentiated treatment and closed said thread.
 
It is not a joke, some members are more popular and get preferential treatment here. Some of that popularity is inspired by the posting pictures thread that establishes a face to said poster. This can be evident in the parade of praise some picture up-loaders receive in said thread.

I would imagine other posters object to the posting pictures thread as well but there is not a place to discuss it asside from this thread. I am basically saying that unless the moderators and administrators are 100% not racist/sexist/etc. Than it is rather unreasonable to let people detirmine what their gender/race is in a discussion that should be on merit.

Maybe the thread can remain but usernames/profiles not show. Then all the users that want praise can have their picture praised but not reap the benefits of a certain appearance from more active modding.

So everyone is prejudicial by nature?

If I'm reading that correctly, you seem to be projecting.

Great. So when does the slippery slope end? May as well ban anything that can lead to any sort of prejudging of another human.

Let's get rid of avatars too.
And names.
No numbers either.
Everyone is known as poster.
If you type without proper grammatical sense, punctuation, and capitalization, you are banned for being different.
 
Furthermore, in my opinion the Post your Picture thread should be closed... I am sure I am not the only poster who reads the thread and is deeply offended said thread exists.
Racism, sexism, etc. are all real problems, so why let the community know the identity/appearance/race/gender of a user... Do you not see how that can lead to GAF being less strict for certain users?

What the FUCK

You have to be fucking kidding me.

Support with evidence your slanderous claim against the mods and then maybe someone will listen.



Also, read 'Harrison Bergeron.'
 
If, in the process of discussion here, you make unreasonable or nonsensical arguments, it's not my responsibility to keep people from simply being unkind about it.
 
Hmm, strict? Maybe a little by comparison of forums open to the public to register. Just read the rules and you won't have any issues.
 
I am not claiming the mods are racist/sexist, I am asking do people believe they are 100% not racist/sexist and completely fair?

They don't have to believe anything. If you have a problem, make your case.

If not, cry more and expect more laughter in return.

I am beginning to suspect that you are a parody of GAF's alleged liberal slant.
 
LostVoyager, a forum where everybody is treated equally doesn't exist.

Well, there's 4chan. You might get a heart attack from all the isms thrown around there though.

This is about as good as it gets.
 
The individual should never be the discussion of a thread.

A thread's topic is the discussion of a thread.. if the topic is post your real pic.. guess what that's the discussion..

Hope that clears it up
 
Good lord, some of you are brutal. I dont necessarily agree with Lost Voyager on the picture thread, but damn...
I appreciate it, its fine though I am used to being made fun of on here. They membered me because I said I would make certain threads and then I made certain threads. (some of which were derailed into ad hominem attacks on me).

I think a poll thread is in order to settle this decisive issue before us.
I would be fine with it, who knows it could show more people want superficial aspects of Neogaf to be shoved aside in favor of objective discussion.

Maybe there can be polling about the wait time for account activation too?
 
^ I'm all yours dude.

What is your ultimate goal here? What are you even arguing for?

Somehow you seem to get nearly every discussion derailed and centered around you. You are a master troll, I refuse to believe the contrary.

GAF in my view is not slanted liberal first of all. Second of all I am liberal but that has nothing to do with why people dislike me on here. People seem to dislike me because I said I made a couple of wrong statements which I admitted.
Heck plenty of liberals hate my guts on here so I do not know why you are making this into a referendum on my politics.

Also I am not "crying", and I find the single GIF responses to my posts to be insulting though.

Answer my question.

I'd agree with you... but it's not just this one issue. The guy--well, I don't want to get too mean, but see his posts in pretty much any other thread he's posted in and judge for yourself.

I want GAF to be strict in a fair way. I do not think GAF is too strict or not too strict just that it is not fair in how strict it is. I think we should remove the superficial aspects to posting here.

This further cements my suspicion.

You can't do that.

Besides how you look is a part of life..
