GMs aren't devs, as based as that suggestion is.

As god intended.

Well, when I see the same group of people brigading threads until they inevitably get closed (which is a weird way to handle that, by the way.), and they're still there weeks to months later doing the same thing, one can't help but think nothing's being done about it. I'm sure you're all great people that hate sentinels just like any proud members of the community, but the moderation policies might need an update or two, because there's clearly a problem.

Oh no, it's fitting. Some people on these boards are in their 50s and have less social skills than a toddler. The real issue is that the authority figures do exactly nothing to solve the problem. They just ignore it, hope it blows over, and then we're back doing this song and dance again because nothing actually happens.

Yeah uh, this was kind of the problem. Greycat's protest thread got a response and the actual thread didn't, lol.

Oh, my bad, nevermind then.

That's not at all what happened. Being told "no" isn't the issue here. And uh, frankly, I don't care if you disagree. It's an objectively bad look and Cipher even acknowledged that.

It is what it is.

The whole "volunteer" line gets tiring when used as some sort of 'gotcha'. Is HC maintained by volunteers? Yes. Does that mean they can do whatever they want without any criticism or retaliation? No. Good will buys you a lot of leeway, but said good will can also be burned. We are not entitled to anything simply by donating, but HC isn't entitled to an echo chamber either. Remember: HC is only the most popular server because it was first. You can't claim to be all about the community but neglect it and hide behind the 'volunteer' defense when you screw up. This situation was handled extremely poorly and is hopefully a learning experience.

Reopening that one is profoundly confusing. Maybe they thought it best just to keep all the heat off the genuine one, but this has the indirect effect of, you know, reigniting all the arguments about why such a thread is in poor taste.

It's still not a good look. I doubt this particular case was inherently malicious, but the fact they lacked the awareness to go "Hey, maybe we should respond to the memorial request in the thread requesting it." and instead chose to enable the person essentially yelling "Get off my lawn" at the funeral is a HORRIFIC look. He made it about him and got exactly what he wanted. I can't imagine anyone who actually knew the person is looking at that in a positive light. That's such a bad look it's like something you'd see in a comedy.

"The earth is flat." "We're not talking about flat earthers, idiot." "Ah, but you haven't debated the merits of my other points." ???

You got two brain cells fighting for third place, man.

You didn't even make one, you just kinda said things and hoped Rudra would tell you you're funny. But hey, I won't derail this thread like every single one your assumed friend group here touches. We can debate the merits of any arguments you might have in PMs where the GMs can't bail you out, if you're brave enough.

She isn't mad she was told 'no', genius.
