This is so blatantly false as to be laughable. What in the good lord fuck are you on about. SE is a diverse and vibrant community full of people who gladly and happily embrace each other and their weird quirks to an almost shockingly empathic degree. That they occasionally tell people to fuck off for being out-loud jackasses is not the same as lashing out. Holy false equivalence Batman!
Did you warn that person for posting about how you bragged about the affair you were having on the forums or did someone else do that on your behalf
Lanz, you keep a weird creepy serial killer wall of ten-year-old posts from people on your enemies list; I don't feel hugely inclined to take this tone of yours seriously.
Listen
I know I’ve got a hair trigger these days on my “pissed off” switch
But Rats is one of the most goddamn patient, understanding and conciliatory posters I know of on this board.
What the ever loving lashing out fuck?
Bro you and the other mods have frequently taken other posters history and words into account when disciplining them. If you don't see how that doesn't count as your own form of History Of Poster X on your own Pepe Silvia wall, I don't know what to tell you.
to be clear: jacobkosh bragged about the affair he was having and the size of his affair partners tits. earlier today, a poster was warned for referring to these public posts that jacobkosh chose to post. did i mention he chose to post them on these forums and someone got in trouble for referring to the posts he made (willingly)
If by “weird creepy serial killer wall of ten year old posts from people on your enemies list” you mean “I don’t delete my infraction PMs from the last few years”… sure, I guess?
I read every page of the SE thread. Personally I think there's something systemic about that forum's culture, given this isn't even the first or second time the whole place has exploded like that. And quite a few "issue" I saw pop up amounted to people expecting the mod staff to bow and kneel when they snap their fingers. Which... see above. I suspect this whole thread is going to blow up as those people just got told they're not getting the absolute power and control they want. At any rate I'm glad the staff here has so far resisted letting the inmates run the asylum.
You're doing the best you can in these ridiculous times. That's all anybody can ask.
So how's that working out for ya?
No, seriously, this is the problem with Kosh remaining a mod. He is actively hostile to people he doesn't see as belonging to his subforum. If we're not wanting things to remain hostile in this community, then a moderator who is perfectly comfortable lashing out against those asking for some form of accountability in a thread dedicated to doing so, addressed to the administrator of the forums, shows that no, this is all lip service.
We’re not asking for “absolute power and control,” just for more mods like Chu and Sterica who actually treat people like people and not gutter scum beneath even contempt and can help steward the community in a healthier direction, and for the mods who can’t handle that to retire and have their mod privileges removed so as to prevent any formation of good ol boy relations and risk of abuse of mod privileges.
this is an incredible post
this is such a weird take on the tone of both the thread and SE++ as a whole that it seems like it's from a whole other planet
Escalation is inevitable when some posters would view getting banned as equally satisfying to seeing their foes humbled, because they'd get the same thrill either way.
Let me clear this up.
Henroid was not a stalker - or at least, if he was, I never heard of it and it had nothing to do with his ban. I don't know how that rumor got started but I'm probably one of the only people still here from his first ban, which happened for entirely garden-variety reasons in like 2013?; he was let back in years later per the appeal rules and then fell afoul or something again.
Maybe whoever broached this was thinking of someone else, but if there was a stalker issue here it was discussed entirely outside of the usual mod channels.
Maybe this is part of my “creepy stalker behavior” to remember the things he’s said to me in infractions, but it’s kind of frustrating to be told again and again how I apparently don’t see myself as part of a forum community I’ve spent the majority of my nearly twenty years on this forum posting in.
The fuck?

Kosh's first post in the thread, responding to the above at 5:01 PM: https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/comment/46410393/#Comment_46410393
There is a weird ingrown little clique of people (certainly not all of SE++ by any means) who hate Kosh for some reason. And it was one of them who decided to hijack geebs post for that end. Just like they turned the SE++ "introspection" (heh) post into their little wank session hating on the dreaded D&D forum.
So you agree D&D has a problem, then.
