Is it possible it was a poor attempt at humor? I am biased in favor of chris since i like her and think she is a good addition to the schlog, particularly the dynamic between her and soyteenliker is endearing and a healthy thing for the forum. cant say i really know her but i dont feel like she is the type of nigga to organize to spread terrorism on the schlog from my what impression i get she is kinda like me in the fact that she doesnt really have any genuine friends she can turn to offline, entirely possible that im mistaken here doe.
I feel like discouraging cliques forming is a good thing, since autistic teens will inevitably gossip on schlog related topics,
but at the same time this issue you the staff has been facing with 'discord like behaviour' on threads such as anonymous confessions are in large part caused by schloggers making friends on the site. and then as retarded as this sounds like are scared? or something just to make a fucking discord server or whatever and connect there instead of doing this shitting out casual conversations on forum threads.
its like they didnt read rule 3 about HOSTILE servers and instead just thinking connecting offsite = ban and if thats the case then thats like retarded or something but i dont think thats the case since that would be hypocritical.
discord being tabboo AND for good reason, when i first joined the schlog i didnt get why it was such a tabboo but after perusing the wiki let me just say i geddit why its tabboo.
making friends through interacting with users on the schlog shouldnt be discouraged (i have no one i would call a friend in my personal life so here i am incredibly biased since for the first time in i dont know how many years i feel a connection to people as gay as that sounds), but its bad when those type of interactions clog up threads
then u run into the problem of what tends to happen when spergs congregate off-site sooner they start gossiping about the schlog cus they are like unironic teenagers or some shit.
I dont know how tf you guys are supposed to moderate this offsite faggotry so im not helpful at all
something ala fight club 'what happens on the schlog stays on the schlog' how would you enforce this? idk only thing i can think of is through fear, and that fear is already there from what i can tell its just steered in the wrong direction
i dont think she should be unbanned right away cus even if she was just joking about 'organizing to terrorize the schlog cus staff are villains' that sort of joke cannot be tolerated just like how pedo 'jokes' cant be tolerated since that inevitably invites the very same behaviour it is joking about
i dont think connecting off-site is the problem
i think when people start brining the schlog with them off-site it becomes a problem
if the schlog can be a place where people like me who for whatever reason have difficulties making or maintaining friendships are able to find valuable connection then that should be celebrated.
I have come to really care about the schlog and the people here in general its become an invaluable substitute for my non existant social life. it is very hard to maintain friendships or even to start developing friendships with people when you are housebound for the majority of your life. it goes something like this after declining events due to being too sick too many times people stop inviting you and when you try to plan to get together and do something it always goes like this ur like neet and got all time in the world im like student/worker and got limited time so plan need to plan around me and we both agree then it never goes anywhere. maybe i just have shitty 'friends' but i think its more of a cultural problem than an individual problem
i ended up derailing my own message or something and going on tangents but i feel like i did expose part of my soul or some gay shit in here and it feels genuine to me so im happy with it even if it is unstructured scatterbrained ESL slop. im tired now too tired to clean up text and make it look nicer so this will have to do, thanks for coming to my tedtalk
