Linko90: The punchline would be banning you :P
But really, not every user who becomes inactive is banned, some just simply stop posting.
That's why I'm not a mod here, I'd change the avatar to a horse's ass.
Say what you will about the moderation here, but it does seem to be reasonably consistent.
Telika: It's hilarious in a way.
This thread is exactly like one slightly odd kid leaving school due to the hostility of the classmates, and all the children attempting to justify it because "
she started it anyway / he looked weird / she had that accent / he was effeminate / she wore odd clothes / he had strange hair / she had freckles / he had that annoying tic / she just wouldn't understand that we don't like her". Kids nodding at each others in front of their sighing parents.
Humanity in a test tube. Everything I detest most about it, concentrated on display.
Here's the thing, by her own admission she can do better, she just got lazy about it.
If there were some reason to believe that she were suffering from some sort of cognitive impairment or learning disorder, that would be one thing, but she didn't used to post like she does now. I took a break from here for a bit and when I came back, I saw tons of "gamies" threads and the like.
People on an international forum are going to have issues at times with spelling and grammar, but there's a point at which you might as well be posting in a foreign language as at least Google Translate can handle some of that.
fronzelneekburm: Woah, what the hell...
Her entire posting history is wiped. All of her posts say "deleted".
Actually, I would like a mod (or someone in touch with Fairfox) to clarify what exactly is going on. I figured she was "having a break", as one of the mods put it earlier. All of her posts getting nuked is pretty hardcore for "having a break"...
wpegg: They did it for Gameon a few years ago (before GDPR). Nowadays legally anyone can request that, under GDPR GOG have to allow you to control the data they have.
It would have been user-requested, as has already been made clear.
I've got mixed feelings about that. Culturally, we're already suffering from a sort of amnesia as it becomes increasingly hard to find older, less popular information due to search engines trying to give people what they think we want rather than what we ask for.
In this case, it's less of an issue, but in some cases it can lead to threads that make absolutely no sense as the thread gets cleaned.
