    I've decided that you don't have enough nice things in your life. I'm compiling an expert team of users to resolve this issue.
    Would things like corrections and line-by-line literary analysis of user fiction be prohibited under the ban on spaghetti posting?

    But it's really nice to see people doing the spaghetti posting analysis/reaction things for stories. It's extremely useful for me, as an author, to figure out which parts I'm doing well in, and which parts I'm not, alongside figuring out which parts the readers enjoy more. Sometimes one spaghetti post will net me more feedback for my writing than the last three or six pages of discussion. :(

    If they aren't allowed to quote each individual piece they're giving me feedback on in a single post, and they're not allowed to multi-post, it's... potentially an incredibly frustrating/disheartening rule.

    @LordSquishy I'm really concerned about this. A lot of my best feedback comes from spaghetti posting.
    I don't think people are actually 'encouraged dynamically' if they are threatened with infractions or given vaguely described rules..

    Instead of going "Good lord, that is awful!", maybe give out reasons on why your preferred posting behavior is the much better option? Give your audience a positive reason to see your way?
    I think you'll be amused to know that, given my complete dearth of work experience, part of my resume now reads:
    SufficentVelocity.com Winter 2016-present

    I feel like rhetoric as an art is vastly underrated these days. If I went into politics, 90% of the reason would be so I could give speeches without looking like an incredible narcissist.

    SV sort of fulfills that desire, though...

    You'd be better at writing rhetoric if I didn't think you had the soundtrack of West Wing playing in the background as you did it :mad:

    If you can convince Ford and Xon, I'd absolutely love it if you kept the Halloween theme after it's over. The color scheme is gorgeous.
    You know

    I think one of the big problems here is that half our posters seem to need some self-confidence lessons so they don't automatically assume that they're so awful and unrestrained so they'll end up being infracted under the rules.

    Except for the ones who get infracted repeatedly and declare that they did nothing wrong in appeals

    Those guys need a little less self-confidence

    Sounds like time for some redistributive confidence taxation! We have no confidence that the confidence market can solve it, so the state must intervene.
    I really appreciate everything you do for sufficient velocity. It's a very positive thing in my life, and I'm glad you put the time, effort and money into doing it. Thank you.
    Squishy,
    I would like you to stop posting threatening announcements personally addressing me. Especially concerning issues I have no part in. Also, stop telling me who I am not. Because unless you doxxed me, you don't know. If you choose to carry on, you are being an ass.

    And I would like users to stop breaking the rules, but we can't all get everything we want, now can we?
    I was really confused when I saw the banner, it seems very accusatory, cold you make it a bit less personalized?
    Can't you make it so that once we go to the thread we can dismiss the obnoxious blue rectangle on the screen? Or just always. It's annoying. And useless for 90% of the board. I have no idea why I'm getting so worked up, but I think blue rectangle just went on my shit list for eternity. Thanks, Lord Shy Squee.
    As one of the idiots that probably contributed to the whole Rule 6 thing, I want to personally apologize.

    I've accepted my infraction and have been double checking through a lot of my stuff to make sure I didn't fuck up anywhere else.
    Minding telling me where I broke it ? I looked through and found nothing in any of my posts that broke rule 6

    You did nothing. The banner is simply personalized to put in the username of the user currently logged in, nothing more.
    Um yeah I I saw at the banner that I violated rule 6 or at least am strongly advised to read it. I read it, so now can you please point out where I implied or said something sexual about children or posted something nsfw.

    The ad is personalized. It takes the name of the user that is currently logged in. You, personally, did nothing wrong.
    Hi I just got that message and I went back through my postings and I honestly did not see where I broke the rule. If you could point out to me what part did so I would appreciate it as I really like this site and have no wish to cause any problems.

    Announcements like these just have a variable that gets filled in with the name of the user reading it. It is not directed at any single person.
    Can you Specify Which of my Threads is Breaking the Rule and where it is So I can Change it? I have to Deal with some Real life today But I can Get it done Before the Day Is over.

    Do not worry. It's a personalized announcement that simply takes the Username of the User, you personally did nothing wrong.
