Was the insult actually "incompetent" or was it an actual insult?
Imma do it guys.Quoting for posterity
DToast is incompetent for this job and never should have been given this position. Timmy is also incompetent for much the same reason as DToast.
Overall, Fandom as a whole is incompetent.
*waits patiently*
TC, you need to remember, focus on Fandom not Dtoast. If you insult Fandom? You cannot flame or do personal attacks on a company. If you say something against Dtoast then you actually break the ToS. Why do you think he said he'd rather you go at him instead of Fandom? it's so you can get moderated.
I also got that warning for that post TC. Did I hurt poor DToast's feelings that he had to make his mods take action?Ah welcome fellow Incompetent Club member! There's at least one more member iirc
Sure as long as the phrase was an insult in the first place.
Scenario: JohnDoe failed their professional job assignment.
Question: Which of the following response is an insult?
A.) JohnDoe is an idiot
B.) JohnDoe is incompetent
I could've picked (1) which is yes, insulting, but I didn't. If (2) somehow counted as an insult then practically every english word would count as an insult and maybe we shouldn't say anything about JohnDoe at all.

Get 'em boys! Ban these bad faith posters!

I would welcome reading whatever you have to say even if it's just saying "Fuck DToast" instead of Fandom.3D chess move to get the boards shutdown
Ohmygod, so that's why he said this:
3D chess move to get the boards shutdown
The question is whether it is moddable not the severity of the individual moderation.
it was a nwod so lmfao
it was a nwod so lmfaoOkay, now imagine TC does it again? Is it moddable or not, that's the question
It sits in your history which makes further moderations more likely and harsher than it would've been. Which is dumb for something that isn't a violation. Like if you got an NWD for your posts ITT.
oh no!
something that's never mattered ever!
oh no!do you have something to gain by doing this?
something that's never mattered ever!
oh no!
something that's never mattered ever!
DToast doesn't know he's just gonna be used by Fandom as a scapegoat when this site completely dies down and don't justify its minimal operational cost. Killing the forums is a bad idea cuz its users were the ones loading the ads consistently.Sorry for throwing myself into CE but going to copy/paste some background I posted elsewhere(b8).
Anyways, he will be off in like 2-3 years. Maybe that's a long time for some, but it's not like the site will immediately die down. They'll just piss off enough ppl, and those ppl will leave. Without the consistent users, they'll feel the effect of a bunch of brainless sites taking over the first few 10 results of a google search over gfaqs
Look ConfusedTorchic, how about looking at it this way
1. At least 3 users got modded for using/quoting the word 'incompetent' to describe DToast. Dakimakura (confirmed #49), @KainWind (unconfirmed but they quoted the offending post), and me.
2. In this topic alone, at least 5 users have repeated the same 'insult'. GrandConjuraton, Strider102, TMOG, red13n, and I.
If the word [ incompetent ] does count as an insult, then those 5 in point (2) should be modded. Unless those 5 get modded, the first modding spree in point (1) doesn't have a leg to stand on and should be cleared regardless of its severity. We have permaban rule, inconsistent modding is unacceptable .
Good. You shouldnt insult anyone, regardless of who they are. Wish GameFaqs would be more strict on w forcing this to be honest with youShut the fuck up
I dont have an issue with DToast. Much like Allen I feel his hands are tied. It feels clear the changes were made by people above him and the mods were given no warning over them. Ive always found him to be reasonable as long as you approach him with respect. Which a lot of users havent as based on this topic. As for fandom as a whole... I dont wanna get modded.C'mon you're practically the most biased observer here SHRlKE. He let your previously warned 20-something karma alt, Sudoku, in. An alt you made to evade purg. DToast was clearly willing to look the other way there so of course you wouldn't have any issue. Might I remind you that no one else has been granted such privilege (except for that KoS antivaxxer)?

Might I remind you that no one else has been granted such privilege (except for that KoS antivaxxer)?AFAIK he's let lots of people in who were warned or in purgatory at the time who pm'd him since it was intended to be one chance going forward from that point.
I'm surprised anyone still engages with him. I think he's the first person I've ignored on this site because his gimmick is just so annoying.I'll never give him any real engagement again, personally.
in a related noteHe's serious about bootlicking, though.
i can confirm toast is not serious about cracking down on transphobia
STEROLIZER is like the guy who supports Tails, SMIB, and greenmist on the trash subreddit as they trash Fandom, all while simultaneously shilling Fandom.
I take that back, he IS that guy.
All of that is false. I actively dislike and campaign against Tails & SMIB. I would imagine that they both hate me as well.
Hell, I joined their discord server last night just to make a blanket statement that I dislike both of them very much. Before I left, I even requested that they pin it to the top of their chat so they dont forget it.
But I imagine that your goal here is to just say anything to get users to dogpile onto another user (me), of whom you disagree with. Which is why I wish GameFaqs would be more strict with cracking down on harassment.
You joined their discord just to tell them you dislike them and then left?
Idunno, something isn't adding up.
Guys, it's not working.
I'm sad now.
AFAIK he's let lots of people in who were warned or in purgatory at the time who pm'd him since it was intended to be one chance going forward from that point.Ah I remember. They all had 50+ karma iirc. Only 2 under-50-karma alts managed to get in here (cmiiw). One is that KoS antivaxxer. The other is Sudoku, SHRlKE's alt. DToast must be a fan of sudoku
What if no one is reporting your posts? I also don't understand what any of this has to do with DToast. Aren't the mods the ones who do the actual modding? And isn't there a queue? If the poster who said DToast was incompetent got a nwod, then wouldn't the assumption be that these "insults" are low priority? It will take a while for the mods to get to them, and that's if they're even marked in the first place.
