badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Yeah except now all our good posters are going to transfer because we can't afford their NIL budget

Stickied posts count towards the number of posts that populate on the front page, so when there's a lot of stickies you can shrink them and wind up with a front page of like 10 or 15 posts. Every so often I'd have to go through and hide all the stickied posts just to make my front page usable again

This seems to be far more efficient than hiding a bunch of threads

I love the mods, I love the posters here, but yeah we had way to much sticked stuff and it made browsing slow on my end, hb feels much snappier today.

Will people actually make posts worthy of that extra space?
