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

Lore Drop:

I'm the one who suggested we formalize the disengage rule

In this thread: https://hexbear.net/comment/712521

Idk if people can see it because the author deleted it. But this is when it was added to the CoC. It's me, Hexbear. The author of all your pain.

The whole reason it came up at all is because there were people here who would keep replying even if you stopped replying to them. They would keep making posts like "why aren't you replying?" or replying in other threads about the previous argument.

nerd Erm ackshually the Hexbear code of conduct says you can only disengage by posting a two word reply of “I’m disengaging”. Your reply is one word, so that’s why so many people are engaging with your post

That's one full action, so just add a reminder you won't be able to attack after. You still want to do that?
