Bannings

I think one of the things that is most frustrating about the new MSB (I swear I’ll get off this horse anytime now) is that the whole point of the Hog Pit was to be able to call out abusive pieces of shit, so having her running around the kinder friendly message board pretending to be a new person who oozes rainbows and compassion from her pores is like shit icing on an ugly damn cake.
Yes, the celebrating of no longer being held accountable for actions is an odd one. But I’m glad the previous things are still accessible. I do like the idea of a perfect society and all that, but I am reminded of Demolition Man. And it seems weird to start off with Simon Phoenix already in the society, let alone more than one of them.
Oh, that works with the terrorists bit. We are the scraps. To Taco Bell!
-
@Narson Of all the analogies I wasn’t ready for, one for Demolition Man I’d suspect is on that list. That said, it’s also the one I didn’t know I needed.

@Narson I don’t get the Taco Bell refence but ok
-
-
Honestly, I’m okay with this? Taco Bell has a lot of nice veggie options and if you are the kind of person who can pass up a quesarito I DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW YOU.
-
@Snackness Taco Bell won the franchise wars, becoming the only/last chain restaurant in the film. In the UK/Europe it was changed to Pizza Hut (because we didn’t have Taco Bell). We first encounter the “terrorist” scraps in the film when they raid a Taco Bell.

@Narson Apparently I missed out on a cultural touchstone.
-
Taco Bell is fine but the lack of variety would make me commit crimes. Stealth crimes. Stealth food crimes.
-
@GF I LOVE THEIR BEAN BURRITOS. Raw onions and red sauce and cheese and beans yes please.
-
@Pavel They have an OK range. And you can make it better with your own combos. Like the seasoned fries dipped in dulce de leche, or dipping the cinnamon crunch things in the nacho cheese.

You should feel bad for posting this. It is that gross.
So gross. Omg. I keep imagining it. Make it stop. Somebody. Please.

@Narson Or the potatoes with the caramel apple empanada.

I just think of a black bean quesarito and it’s like nothing can hurt me anymore

Having played games that never made bannings, or if they did they were always on the down low, it bred a culture of not reporting issues. But also a culture of whispering and rumours about it. Were they justifiable bans or an ice pick that made their ears burn?
Anyway, the culture of not reporting it meant was that some pretty horrible predators remained unbanned and unreported for far too long.

@Whisky This simply reinforces my view that if nothing is seen to be done, then nothing may as well have been done.
There’s a difference, in my mind, between announcing a punishment having been carried out and using public shaming to instil order. Public shaming is the punishment, when it’s used. Whereas public notification not only announces “these behaviours will not be tolerated” but also both “we are telling you what we’re doing” and “we take this seriously.”
