Quote from: danbuter;415106Gleichman, I have no idea who you are, but jumping in here saying we are defending a murderer is a really shitty thing to do.

Gleichman is kind of like the American Settembrini.  Just as incoherent, but more baffling because English is Gleichman's native language.

Quote from: Dan Davenport;415355Very well said; however, I would suggest that RPGnet's approach to moderation could work if it were applied consistently. Again, mandatory civility works quite well in #rpgnet chat. It depends upon the kind of environment you want.

Absolutely.  And when do I get my badge back?  

Hey, you need to head over to the Citadel and sign up.  Not a bunch of activity at the moment, but I am looking to change that.  Plus, since you are not an admin at tBP anymore (I only just heard about it!), I need someone with experience to help me run the joint.  

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;415353That may be so. But I was responding to your comment that Levi "just adapts to wherever he is." It's not true. At one place he wants everything stifled and quiet and inoffensive, and does his best to make it so - as a mod at rpg.net. At another place, he tries to stir people up to go make drama he can cackle at - as a poster at storygames trying to stir up shit at therpgsite. He's a chickenhawk.

Again, I didn't read that on Levi's comment, but something more like "It could be fun if you do that, but in the end it would be not worthy the time and energy so don't."

Quote from: Dan Davenport;415367Also true, but I still think there's a functional setting this side of "anything goes".

Welcome, Dan. Nice to see you here.

Well, you make a good point, but I have also found that if you are consistent allowing free speech (and the Pundit definitely has been) you end having a part of stupid worthless flames between the same people, but also end having honest and interesting discussions, without that much passive-agressive sniping, ban-baiting and all that bullshit.

I have no problems with RPG.net, but that is due to me NEVER visiting Tangency and using RPG.net as a board for discussing RPGs. If you limit yourself to that, is an amazing resource, given the sheer amount of people posting there, and some great posters. I've got an enormous value from RPG.net, and I plan to keep on that.

I just don't go to Tangency. I feel that RPG.net would be massively better without it both in technical terms (for example, they could probably have a search function) and in general terms (political discussions tend to turn everuthing to shit), but it's their call to make, not mine. I will keep using it, though I like more the environment here. You don't have to renounce to one place to enjoy the other.

Seriously?

Still? I'd hoped they were over that, that all the old lonely loser BNGs had wandered off. Oh well. As I said, I've not been there in years.

Quote from: RPGPunditBe fair, Kyle. We NEVER had anything even remotely like Tangency. What we had was an off-topic forum, where there was rampant discussion of weird geek stuff, tv and movies and comics, and lots and lots of political discussions. But for that to have been like Tangency -

That's true. There was a seed there, luckily it was plucked from the ground just as it was sprouting.

Quote from: Pseudoephedrine;415407Although, the moderators of #rpgnet will kick you if you talk about gaming too much.

No, we'll kick you off if you start a monologue that floods the channel rather than having a conversation.

Quote from: Nazgul;415456Seriously?

No, not seriously. Feel free to stop by and discuss RPGs all you want. While we do talk about other things there -- a byproduct of being a chatroom rather than a message board -- RPG discussion is always welcome.

What is not welcome is rude behavior designed to drown out other conversations by creating a "wall of text," regardless of the subject matter.

Quote from: Nazgul;415456Seriously?

I'm permabanned from there because they kicked me for being the only person talking about RPGs (or talking at all for that matter). When I complained in a post here about it, they permabanned me.

Quote from: Dan Davenport;415470No, we'll kick you off if you start a monologue that floods the channel rather than having a conversation.

Protip: If no one else has said anything for hours, and I write a paragraph or two, it's not ""flooding".

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on how that went down.

In any case, gaming discussion is welcome, and your assertion to the contrary has become something of a running gag.

I'm unconcerned about what a bunch of people who were crap-flooding the channel with discussions about cake recipes and their emotionally co-dependent cyber-BDSM relationships when they were bothering to post at all, think of me.

Even the few times I've hopped back in, before Cith kicks me, it hasn't been about gaming discussion. It's either been completely quiet or had irrelevant yakking in it.

Quote from: Pseudoephedrine;415493It's either been completely quiet or had irrelevant yakking in it.

Welcome to the internet. While I agree it should be more on target, that seems to be something of a problem with people in general.

Mind you #rpgnet is a terrible place. Sure there are good people who overlook the nasty people who've infested it, but they are few and far between.

One could say the same of RPG.net.

There are many good people on Rpg.net. But they are often shouted down by the loudmouth sorts who fill the place with nastiness.

When was the last time you were there? It's been a long while, I believe.

Regardless, I'd invite anyone interested to judge for themselves.

A few weeks ago actually, waiting for the Starcluster game to start.

I'm sure Flyingmice has a better opinion of it than I do though, which is why we met there.

Quote from: Tommy Brownell;415271I'm no Pundit or Davenport, but most publishers I review for seem thrilled when they find out that I hit more than just RPG.net with my reviews (and RPG.net's terms don't prevent cross posting unless the place being cross posted to would infringe upon them posting the reviews).

Just my experience.

Oh, very well. I'll do it.  I'll post my next review in both places.

And Tommy, you're an excellent reviewer yourself.
