So, you had a post sent to Gay Baby Jail? Post about it here where we can all all see. ETA: Don't just c&p the post in Gay Baby Jail--that would be stupid.
Dude, this is an internet forum. If we're turning into Literal Actual Totalitarian Fascists, you can just, you know.
So, the idea is basically sound, but... Consider that some of the issue is things like, say, "suicide-baiting". Things where the entire point of removing the posts is that there's a substantial population of people who very much want the posts not to be visible because they'll be super upsetting. Like, I get the basic idea, but if we're removing posts that say horrible things about or to people, and then the posts just show up here again anyway, that's not really helping much. If you've got ideas for how to provide better transparency on this without requiring that everyone reading the forum be willing to be exposed to anything and everything at any time because hiding things is thoughtcrime, I would be interested.
I'm still mad at seebs for petty reasons and made a petty post about it which got pear wiggled and I expected it to be pear wiggled so I'm fine with it Guess I've Been Brainwashed
mine said '123 science' and i feel very silenced (also ftr I think this thread is a terrible idea for pretty much the reasons Seebs said)
Notice that the actual post said, "post about" your Pear Wigglers. As a good will gesture, I shall update the thread title to make that clear.
I did notice, and thank you for that. I'm avoiding making assmad posts in the hidden forum as an exercise in restraint
Having the summaries inside this thread means they're accessible but demarcated. Reduces chance of anybody stumbling accidentally on painful thing, provides space for people to communicate about the thing. This seems like a good idea to test out.
A Tumblr joke. The image that Snitch posted is the inspirational image, a depiction of pears being damaged in transit. Someone replied to this image with "bad and naughty children get put in The Pear Wiggler to atone for their crimes." It's a bizarre and jokey term for confinement.
Ideal interpretation: posts that exist only to harm others, mostly suicide baiting and threats Cynical interpretation: posts mods don't like, posts that stray too far from the party line How it's actually used: somewhere in between those two
At this point fully a third of the threads in the Pear Wiggler are science to see if it works like it should.
i put a couple verses of bo burnham's "kill yourself" through the crytype-ifier to see if they'd still be naughty they got wiggled
not everyone knows the lyrics to that song, and if you crytype-ify them, i suspect it becomes impossible to recognize that they are the lyrics to that song if you haven't heard it before. and without being aware of that context, the lyrics end up appearing to be suicide baiting, even though they aren't meant that way.
