EPIC Project Chatter

[Daddy's Big Pink Man-Squirrel]

I think I am done with fark permanently. I know I have a hair-trigger temper, especially about apparent random and inequitous abuse of power, but I believe "last straw" has been reached, here.

Pointless ventation:

1. The O's seem to be chosen by somebody who has little or no idea what makes a good original. Is it out of focus? Is it tiny? Is there no discernable difference between ground and subject? It is? Well, yee haw, we have a contest!
2. "Off Topic Chatter" now seems to mean whatever some random mod can't bother to parse properly.
3. Lack of accountability means bad decisions. Every political thread notices this, but Fark seems to want to shield those who make the decisions from the fallout when those decisions suck. End result: all modmins get tarred with the same brush; dick moves are seen as policy, not anomaly; and the good posters are driven away while the population of foaming trolls explodes.
4. Fark seems to have fallen victim to its own magnificence, and now cares only for the advertisers, and not the people who write (for goddam free, unless you are a fool like me and PAY for it) the stuff that make Fark more than just a news aggregator. Who knew Drew had a secret desire to be Arianna Huffington?
5. Lack of transparency means decisions are made, posts are pulled, and people are banned with no way of actually knowing why, which makes it easy to think it's because Fark is now running with the assholes.
6. Right-wing bile seems to get a pass, but lefty anger gets pulled.
7. The absolute and complete disaster of the voting mess has been handled about as well as BP handled the Gulf spill.

[Disclaimer: I got banned for calling a homo-hater a p***y (a word so horrible I must no longer type it out) in response to a stupid, ignorant post. On a site where "bitch" is filtered but "faggot" isn't, I suppose I should have seen it coming.]

I don't get out much. My job keeps me at home most of the time, and my crippled body keeps me down most of the rest of it. I have found an appreciative audience at Fark for my verbal and visual oddnesses, and it pains me to have to contemplate dumping it because of a few tits at the top who have gotten a bit too full of themselves. But I can't keep posting at a place that makes me feel like a second class citizen.

I didn't mean anything, really, when I posted that we should boycott Pshops until they fix the damn voting; I was just babbling. I was surprised at the response.

Now, I don't think I am. Fark means a lot to me, and I know I mean nothing to Fark, but them shoving that fact in my face is a bit much.

I guess the moral is, make sure you are always more important to them than they are to you. That way. you get to do all the bullying and the screwing over and the "because I said so, that's why" crap.
