    I made that image. I planned to make others for future fora.

    Perhaps your next post could ask what other simple hierarchical pyramids, Venn diagrams, political compasses, etc. could we use as reference tools and to self-regulate?

    I'm actually a fan of self regulation, the old wild wild west of the internet when men were men and the women were men too, and almost anything went.

    Me too.

    Voat and 4chan exist, yet I choose to be here.

    I like very specific but very few rules best with an abundance of helpful guides that are good to point to. (I don't consider the PoD much of a rule, but it's a fantastic guide.)

    I'm still trying to recover my enthusiasm for posting on saidit after all the recent discouragement. (two outages, attacks by TAM, the absence of M7, front page of spam, chipit, etc.) IMO, the only posts or comments that should be legitimately censored or deleted are those that exhibit excessive stupidity, are spam, or contain illegality. The PoD seems to inhibit interactions, and be the excuse of choice to ban active users.

    You will be one dead mother fucker if I find out you live close to me and do this kind of thing.

    This doesn't bother me, and I just told that asshole to fuck off and cry more. Also told him to keep his animals out of my yard or it will happen to him. Gotta love a place that allows this level of free interaction between users.

    100% agreed. It's arbitrary enforcement and subjective interpretation is a joke. Yet I think it's a terrific guide.

    Not a fan of those interactions but I'm also not a saint, nor pretend to be.

      Asking women what they want in a forum is simping according to you. That's the dumbest fucking thing I ever heard.

      If you want to simp, I'm willing to show you my tits, since I sexually identify as a Black lesbian dwarf (my taste in women remains unchanged). Just don't complain when you're disappointed because I've had enough of your white male privilege patriarchy nonsense.

      I'll stick with my wife's tits, thanks.

        Simp is an Internet slang term describing someone who performs excessive sympathy and attention toward another person, sometimes in pursuit of a sexual relationship. Urban Dictionary defines a simp as "someone who does way too much for a person they like". Wikipedia

        I'm not sure this post reaches the level of simping. I'm also a little amused by the latest generations feeling the need to revive the term.

          https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=simp&year_start=1821&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=7&case_insensitive=true

          Still way less popular than 1884-1886. But agreed there is some overlap. Btw, what do women want?

          Yeah, it takes two to tango though.

            We're making a new forum, there was a similar one Jason wrote for the alt right members.

            Sorry I called you an idiot, this goddamned storm is causing me a lot of pain and my temper has been short.
