So the solution would be to limit handshakes posting new threads since that would prevent them from either linking to certain NSFL sites or simply making an image post to curtail any blocks on sites.

At that point an account needs to prove itself to the community in the comments that it's not a Fed/glowie/retard/Imp and actually generate some goodwill from others before being able to make threads.

That said, this is probably still likely open to abuse since the problem at hand is someone with a frankly pathetic number of alt accounts that have all been made months/years ago meaning not only has he gone through the effort of making all those but he still retains the login info for them all. With however many sockpuppets that may be it prevents comment karma from being a suitable option.

In closing, I still don't want to actually do this shit myself despite offering to around 3 years ago but I will throw around ideas if it means we can gatekeep the retards better.

WoW is a good case study of this as after introducing LFG in the Wrath expansion it killed off server communities as groups were suddenly made up of randoms from other servers you may never see again. So why would those randoms who then employed the Prisoner's Dilemma ever going to act in a cooperative way when they could just take all the loot possible and then never have to worry about seeing the rest of their group ever again?

Repeat however many number of weeks/months/years it's been since LFG came out and you have the current situation where there is practically zero trust between players, even in guilds, because the systems repeatedly put in place are far too lucrative for selfish plays to just endlessly exploit.

So? GG has been slandered and libeled for years, it's nothing new and shouldn't bother anyone on this board in the first place since regulars know the various smear tactics used by the different incarnations of the journo-pro mailing list groups.

Posted it before and I'll post it again, it's borderline malicious now

You've also posted before, and likely will again, about wanting to be the one who mods instead despite the almost universal opposition to the idea, [+6/-22/99 comments ratio], which you then sperg out towards, both on here and on the Meta board, oscillating between whiny indignation that you aren't being given the reigns and pseudo-intellectual apathy about how you've going to go make your own treehouse with blackjack and hookers.

he's nothing more than a domain squatter and needs to be removed

I've pretty much migrated to the fediverse and encourage others to do the same

This being a post that does both.

Already happened between Witcher 3 maturing to its end state with DLCs, the launch wasn't great and had a lot of things that needed fixed including some bits that were simply patched over like one of the Wolf Armour quests, and Cyberpunk being worked on.

Book author already did that in the original works for the franchise. When Ciri is off living like a street rat she almost gets raped by one of the male gang members until a female gang member stops it from happening. Who then rapes Ciri herself. 🤡

So it's not going to be a game about the witcher?

The Witcher, no. Other witchers, yes.

On top of the other Wolf School characters that may or may not be alive by the end of the third game, and at a minimum that's one other person, there are also the other schools that could be used as a way for custom character creation. Wolf, Bear, Cat, Gryphon, and then all the others added later like Viper from the second game onwards, Manticore from the third game [used as a potential DEI excuse since the others were all white dudes], and now also Crane which is from some other story, means a lot of potential for a player created story rather than yet another RPG where players take the role of an established character. But then that has its own merits since it can flesh out a character far more than someones shitty OC so pros and cons both ways.

They asked for a Batman in high school in late 90s, we got Batman Beyond

One of the rare few times writers followed the letter of the instructions and yet still did their own thing. Terry ended up being far better than he could have been and Bruce made it out of that series better than most would nowadays. Sure some of the later tie-in to Justice League Unlimited may not be everyone's cup of tea, the topic of just who was the father of Terry for example, but it still fit with in universe explanations and despite that plot point Terry was still his own character despite what Waller had intended.

same with Superman and we got Smallville.

I regret to admit I watched all 10 seasons of that. Well, most of them. I was skipping bits near the end but if nothing else it lasted far, far too long for a show and other series just went off the deep end by going even further like with Supernatural lasting 15 years. 7 just worked for so many things, mostly Star Trek, and after that things just fall apart too often. Stargate highlights this and while I don't mind the Ori stuff it really does come completely out of nowhere then gets resolved in significantly less time despite the magnitudes of difference in raw power between parasitic snecks and living fire gods.

later Xmen Evolution which had the better Logan.as he was more a dad than in a love triangle with Jean.

Agreed. Even with Claremont's extra panels in the original 1963 Uncanny X-Men comic that tried to flesh out Logan's obsession with Jean, pre-Rose and his actual history that didn't get written/published until House of M, the character was still always far too aggressive in that situation where Jean never showed interest in him, ever. When you bring up the points that he was born in the late 1800s and his literal rutiluphilia [redheads] that stemmed from his childhood friend/crush Rose that he later killed by accident, then every single interaction with Jean just ends up being shown in an even worse light.

They're boiling the pot but the government doesn't realise THEY are the frog.

Sounds like the sort of thing you'd see in a Roadrunner/Tom and Jerry sketch with Wile E Coyote/Tom taking a saw to a tree branch both WEC/Tom and RR/Jerry are sitting on only for the camera to zoom out at the last moment when the branch is finally severed and reveal WEC/Tom was on the distal/far end of the branch the entire time.

Mayor of London ousted her in the last few years or so despite even more years of people saying she should have quit after that spectacular fuckup that turned some random guys head into confetti because they got the wrong suspect.

Abolish rule 12

Probably a good idea since whenever it's used the response is, paraphrasing, "The OP is retarded enough to believe it despite whatever mountain of evidence there is so it's not an intentional falsehood, OP is just retarded."

We have those. We've had those for years since the board started.

I offered to help deal with spam accounts ages ago, and specifically spam accounts rather than everything else that goes on, but apart from Dom saying "I might have to consider doing that. I really need to do more community outreach and less moderating." almost 3 years ago nothing has happened to the point I don't give a shit any more.

He's had literal years to work on this in some way, even just bringing on a handful of others to zap blatant spam accounts, and instead we now have the current situation of the same obvious spammer using multiple accounts on a daily basis to post spam, gore, and other material which are likely going to result in actionable legal responses which ironically Dom will be responsible for having not taken sufficient steps when able considering just how many offers he's had for assistance.

Why they didn’t use Doom or Galactus is beyond me

They've never done those characters well, what would more attempts achieve other than to fuck up other ideas done by actually well received writers?

I'm somewhat dreading they will attempt a Rabum Alal plot since that still fits into the role Kang serves, the problems with that idea are:

  1. It only works with decades of material with the existing character, same problem the CW Flash did doing Flashpoint so early in the show.

  2. Rabum Alal was one of Hickman's stories and Marvel keep fucking up his works, so if they do end up relying on him to try and save the MCU it's going to be all kinds of ironic.

His recent G.O.D.S. comic was canceled midway through. His Krakoa X-Men comics were taken over by both the company and other writers who wanted to milk the idea for longer than Hickman had originally planned.

So now, just like Thanos said;

"You Couldn't Live with Your Own Failure, Where Did that Bring You? Back to Me"

Un-fucking-believable the hubris on show if Marvel really attempts it, but also not surprising for how parasitic the company now is.
