STOP CENSORSHIP

If the universe were sane, we'd have no reason to seek solace in BoingBoing. VIVA LOS MÁSCARAS DE SARS!

it begun when xeni took 8 collective dumps in our mouths in a row, a few days ago, and it will continue until the demands of a sane universe are met.

I don't reckon; bb is popular enough to attract enough trolling to completely wreck the forum. Be good to see an announcement about it though. Damn... the bb posts were just the tip of the iceberg for me; there was always a bunch of well-considered, articulate posts in the forums which teased out the subject in like a dozen different directions.

How long has the flaming gone on? I thought that after the sarsart backlash everything went back to normal.

so is the discuss comming back?
I found most of the comments to be interesting, its one of the reasons I like metafilter or charlies blog and previously this one.

the discussion links went away because the philistines that run this blog cannot bear the transgressive nature of our performative DISCOURSE!

they are content to examine their bourgeoise navels and post pictures of breathing masks and horrible amateur photography. also, xeni doesn't like us because we have refused her attempts to broker a gallery opening.

Yhat won't help, you fucking retard. They can just register as many accounts as they want, all with novel capitalizations of my name (like this one). I know if i were Cory, i definitely wouldn't want to spend my time deleting the messages of all the false Corys (like me).

Suck my balls, fuck you, never read this blog again.

Why not just have a "report this post" button on each post, to allow us to essentially moderate for you? All the real mods have to do is get the reports maile to them, and delete any offensive posts etc. Works well on many other sites. Also, disallowing anonymous posting entirely may help.

old QT thread on discussion problems (when log-in became required). sheds some more light.



man. this sucks. I always looked to the comments to expand & enlighten (even if it was being enlightened as to who the trolls were). My local paper killed the comments this past year right before a contentious referndum that was filling up its server. I read the on-line paper far less often, now. Less interactive, less illumination [this is not a BB threat, I'm jus sayin].

Well, I guess now you can see why discuss went away. sniff.

"look, a mediawhore is exploiting us! i wonder if we will be on NPR!"

"get away from me, you aids-infected transsexual!"

xeni's pictures of some fuckers on skateboards is such obvious troll bait, even I'm not dumb enough to create a QT.

There were several messages discussing where discussing went (woah.. repeat x2), as well as possible reasons why, but they were all deleted by the administrator. So, basically, I think they are tired of the negative comments. Viva Boingiscm!
