OK wait, what do I have to do to post on the new 23ae? I was going to post some stuff but I can't.

The site was taken down, eviscerated, and relaunched. Everybody's gotta get new logins.

hit me with a username and e-mail address, and I'll set up yuo!

Hey guys!

One thing that would really help out 23ae right now is if people *cough cough* read it and commented on it.

we're getting some random hate from random posters, and it's a shame that in some cases, those are the only comments for those entries.

It'd be totally fucking awesome if people could do two things:

-make comments to drown out the trolls
-help find more readers for 23ae


I'm trying not to feed the trolls

 :lulz: big mittens to payne and cain who immediately posted new entries!



I also want to draw people's attention to http://23ae.com/downloads/ - if anybody with some art skills wants to design 23ae wallpaper, sigs, banners, etc, hit me up and we'll feature them there.

Ban the trolls.

Ban the trolls.

23AE has a tradition of banning no one....

you need an account (available on request) in order to post blog entries.

you don't need an account to post snarky comments.

yeah but traditions are made to be broken.  8)

anyway, I was really tempted by banning some people, but Payne set me straight. If I start banning people who post hate, I'll have to ban everybody that isn't a hippie.

there may be a time when order must be imposed, but for now, let's just try to drown out the trolls with better comments.

On the other hand, Cram, it's no fun posting when the comments are ALL hate from 2-3 user names that post nothing BUT hate.

2-3 troll accounts plus Uncle BadTouch and his crew (I don't suggest banning them, of course, hate them though I might) aren't exactly incentives for new people to join, or for ranting.

I totally hear you! We've got 20+ authors and only 7 of them have more than 1 post. The comments are probably a contributing factor.

Cain tried pushing back a little bit - we shall see how said parties respond. Like I said, I'm not above bringing out the banstick. Some Discordians only want to troll other Discordians. I guess that's legal, but it's a waste of everybody's energy. That energy is hard enough to harness and focus without it getting "friendly fire'.




and now that I think about it, I can think of two people who have been banned from 23ae in the past. One for comment spam, the other for imagebombing.

Cain

Yeah, I'll be interested to see how he responds to my comments.  I think he in particular only gets away with it because 23ae is filled with hippie types, who don't push back as hard as they should.

Anyway, his response will give us an idea of how to go foward, so all is good.
