Look, unlike you, I’m not showing up here all teary-eyed and dramatic just to whine about how Jeffrey Cooper7 was being mean to you or whatever... honestly, you poor thing...😢 You and your little buddy are honestly just pathetic. 🤣
Well, look who decided to show up, Noah Ruiz73, just a little guy feeling all wounded and sensitive. 😢 Look, don't try to play the victim card with me, because honestly, you act like you’ve got superpowers over there, thinking you can just do whatever you want. You and your buddy—that total chemtrail enthusiast—just go around insulting anyone who doesn't buy into your little conspiracy theories. If someone disagrees, suddenly they're an idiot or a troll, and you guys just hijack the whole conversation like you own the place, acting like nobody else even exists. It seems like you guys just can't wrap your heads around the fact that there’s actually another side to this that’s going to challenge everything you say, which forces you to desperately try and "prove" your points. The second you can't back something up—especially when it comes to those chemtrails—you immediately jump on everyone who’s skeptical. This thread should have been locked ages ago, because these "truth-seekers," including I'm sure Noah Ruiz73, will probably just block anyone with a different opinion and keep talking to themselves like the rest of us aren't even here. There's really no point in keeping a discussion open when nothing can be proven and the skeptics just get ignored or insulted... ☕
Look, you could have just played it smart and said, "Hey, posting Google in that old thread is gonna get you flagged," then just started a fresh one for all the Google spam so everyone stays happy, but instead, you just sort of threw this together and it's honestly kind of a mess... ☕
mellowraven22 said:Yeah, I was there—and honestly, like I mentioned before, it’s totally up to the mods whether we get a thread for this or if we just have to take it to Amtrak.
Alright, I guess we'll just sit tight until the lady and her little gentleman decide to show up and tell us what's what...☕
mellowraven22 said:Look, you don't argue about moderation anywhere except on Amtrak or, if the mods have their way, in a dedicated appeal thread on the main subforum. If you tried pulling that stuff on any other board, you'd be getting handed out warnings like candy.
It’s pretty obvious you haven't even laid eyes on that subforum, let alone actually been there, because if you had, you'd see there isn't some magic appeal thread anywhere—mostly because the guy going by Zodiac didn't feel like setting one up (he basically told me he was too busy getting cozy in bed with his fellow moderator...☕ ) and here’s the quote for proof:
Zodiac said:She's great in bed, and since I happen to be the moderator.... You know how things work in this country, buddy... 🙂
He clearly just assumes nobody's gonna step up while he's running things like a dictator, because honestly, who knows? If we try to push back, we might just end up exiled to some deserted island...☕
mellowraven22 said:Nah, because someone browsing the web on their phone can just choose to view images while skipping the GIFs. If everything is lumped into one thread, you don't get that choice. The other way would be to just post the GIFs as links.
Oh, come on, seriously? We're really splitting things up just for a handful of people who might be using an Apple device or just checking photos on their phones—that’s honestly such a reach. Besides, once they actually sit down at their PC, they'll definitely check out the full image without needing a magnifying glass or anything. I was really hoping for a more sensible answer here, rather than being told we need a whole separate thread for GIFs just so some guy doesn't have to wait ten minutes for his data to load... ☕
Because this is about Jokes, not Politics.
Look, I totally get that you're going to defend your own side, but why go this far? Why didn't you guys just start a proper thread over in the Jokes section and ask the regulars there, "Hey, do you want smglsnk to be a moderator?" Just run a clean poll so people can actually decide. There's nothing wrong with him; he's polite, he's active, and surely he shouldn't be barred from being a moderator just because he isn't buddies with the current ones, right? 🤷
mellowraven22 said:Yeah, it eats up way more bandwidth, which is a huge deal for anyone just browsing on their phone.
So what, are GIFs on this new thread gonna suck up less data than if they were paired up with regular photos? 😕
It was proposed and approved.
Who actually put her up for it? I’m guessing Zodiac, but honestly, I don't get the logic—how does someone who’s never even stepped foot in that subforum suddenly become a moderator overnight? Does that mean any one of us could be nominated by a mod for the Politics section, even if we never hang out there, and then suddenly we're calling the shots and making our own rules? Man, things are getting weird...
mellowraven22 said:It's because standard images usually hover around 100 KB, whereas GIFs can easily balloon past 1 MB.
Oh, really? And how does that even matter? Like, is the page actually going to crawl to a halt just because there are too many GIFs in a thread? I don't get the connection... And another thing. Usually, before any moderator gets appointed to a subforum, there's an intro thread to introduce them, but on the Jokes subforum, there was absolutely nothing—it's like this woman just dropped in from Mars onto that subforum and now she’s suddenly dictating all these specific rules about how things should be run. Just one more question, if you don't mind me asking—since we aren't living in North Korea or anything—what were the actual requirements for her getting assigned to a section where she’s never even stepped foot before? 🤷Sorry, but this whole thing just feels totally lame...☕
mellowraven22 said:What’s the actual issue here? She just closed one thread and started another?
So she decided to split up GIFs and photos? I don't see any harm in that.
Same goes for trolling, cheering, and all that other nonsense—it's not allowed on unknown.
Hold on a second, so you're telling me anyone who hasn't even stepped foot in that subforum or written a single damn post can just become a moderator—in this case, a modette—and start enforcing their own little "rules"? What was her big problem anyway, was the thread getting trashed with insults or massive images? No, it was just a regular picture, except now apparently because it's a GIF, we need a whole separate thread for it. For what? Are we gonna make a new thread for every single image format from here on out? Come on, man, that's just ridiculous. And if it isn't a secret, how did she even get appointed moderator over there? 🤷 Thanks.
Scott Wood84 said:Why on earth would anyone actually want to buy that? 🤷
Why not? 🤷 If it's not your vibe, fine, whatever, but I personally think it's awesome, and I'm just out here asking questions, though apparently I'm never gonna get a straight answer out of you...☕
🤷I'm thinking about ordering this jersey from Mozambique since I can't find any from Mongolia. What do you all think?
Oof, $50 feels pretty steep once you factor in the shipping, honestly it’d probably be cheaper to just snag one on eBay 🤣 If I actually hit a decent parlay on my bets, though, I'd grab it in a heartbeat 😁 As for that Mozambique one, hmm... 🤣 I don't know, those stripes look a little off with the kit design, and that red is just kind of aggressive 😁
mellowowl38 said:Alright, here’s a look at the Nike away kits for the teams heading to the World Cup (besides Brazil, obviously):
There’s a bit of everything in this batch—some are total snoozefests, while others actually hit the mark. Personally, I think Canada’s looks pretty solid, but the Netherlands? Absolutely killer. I was actually planning on pulling the trigger on our new home kit, but seeing this one has me second-guessing things... check it out again 😁
Oh, and for next season? In my humble opinion, those are hands down the best Bayern kits they've dropped in years. Seriously, Adidas can actually cook when they want to 😁
They're wearing these against Bochum today, and man, the jersey is just killer 👍
Look, if they actually have the cash—you know, like, they aren't constantly begging the government for handouts or chasing down donations—and just want to do whatever they feel like, then fine. But honestly? In my opinion, there are way too many random activities packed into one single nonprofit, and I have zero clue what you’d even call an organization like that since most of their projects have absolutely nothing to do with each other...☕
