Administrators Popular Post Amethyst 2466 Posted November 30, 2015 Administrators Popular Post Share Posted November 30, 2015 The excessively ordinary title is due to the fact that I really want to make the topic called "Heard you were talkin' shit" but the annoying little voice in the back of my head won't let me. That said, let's talk shit. Namely, shitposts.Because "shitposting," as you punk kids call it these days, seems to be the new word in cool and has been making a ruckus-- or rather, has been making shit hit the fan, I wanted to take a moment to talk about our stance as a community on this.Shitposting has been around for approximately ever and is a fairly normal part of many forums. It's pretty much why the forum Wasteland exists: so that it has a place to go. The recent backlash against "excessive shitposting" seems to have come into effect mainly with that happy new term, but the content of such posts really hasn't changed at all. As such, I want it to be known that shitposting in and of itself isn't against the community rules... not that I'm encouraging it. And, members, if you don't want to see that stuff it's as easy as not reading it.Nonetheless, we are making a few minor changes to account for recent trends: The Wasteland as a whole no longer gives $R or increases post count, and Wasteland topics will no longer show up in the Recent Topics hook on the index. In short, we're trying to leave the Wasteland as a place where y'all can be silly without any real consequences (positive or negative).That said, it does not mean that that forum is immune to the rules. It's still part of the community, so make sure your posts aren't problematic. In particular, observe the forum rule mandating that each post should contribute something. If your topic is just an image, then it can go in the Funny Images thread. Or if it's just a few words, maybe it doesn't need to be posted.Anyway, have fun!But not too much fun.Here to make sure that you absolutely and under no circumstance have too much fun, we've got a couple promotions coming around to the fun police server moderating team. First up, LidaRose is taking on a mod position after having been around for lord knows how long. Secondly, Jericho climbs up the ladder and picks up the b& hammer. Thanks to both of them for (in one case, continuing) helping out around here! 20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DW~ 40 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Fun police server? I thought this was a myth conceived by Dan to make us obey. Getting serious, hopefully this ends the discussions about "shitposting in the wasteland and why it's so bad to log on there" also congrats Jeri and Rose for your promotions, I think Edited November 30, 2015 by TheDW66 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Godot 132 Posted November 30, 2015 Global Mods Share Posted November 30, 2015 You scrubs are putting Jericho on the same level as Mwah? Pffffffft Also congrats Rose! =D PS. Remember scrubs that lame posts in wasteland where you just post lame pictures go in the funny picture thread. They do not deserve their own threads. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vinny 27 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Jericho as a leader? Somehow that seems extremely fitting,, even if it's only a server thing. And congratulations Rose \o/ wololo Like you would say: "I already know you're going to be fantastic." Or rather, both of you will ;] You scrubs are putting Jericho on the same level as Mwah? Pffffffft We're lowering your level by making Jeri the same as you. Ring-a-ding~ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueMoonIceCream 9 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I was getting tired of the whole shitposting thing as well, it was just one after the other for a while there. Congratulations, Jericho and rose, I don't know you that well but from what I do know is that you'll do a great job! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yash 4 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Congrats Jeri!! You will do an awesome job of banning scrubs... Well done Rose.. You deserve it.. I can't believe they turned her.. No one is safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sutoratosu 11 Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The only issue I ever had with the wasteland was that the spike recently was so ridiculous that I was completely certain there were some people who were straight up abusing the situation and actively farming shitpost after shitpost there just for the sake of getting easy $R, which is kinda scummy in my opinion. Anyways, regardless, I'm glad to hear this news about the economic cut off. now I can go back to not giving any damns as to what goes on in that toxic hell hole. Moving on from that though, congrats to Jericho and Rose. Especially Rose. I know you'll be great at the new job. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
