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

bad posting is posting badly, not posting bad things

I see no contradiction here.

Site achievements/badges would be incredibly funny just for what you'd need to do to get them. Always riding the line to earn your 'certified lib' badge but without actually getting banned. Or goofy mod tags that definitely wouldn't be abused.

Site badge? We already have that, it's called a "ban"

It would be funny but it would also definitely fuck up the site.

Rules could constrain it to one or a few communities.

Promoting a gateway mechanism for elitism and stratification among the posting proletariat. Now Thats Bad Posting.
