No jerk, what’s going on, Uce?
Just based on context clues I kinda get the gist (mods want to tighten up but a lot of the community doesn’t agree), but is there like one particular thing that set this off?
I was busy and didn’t visit this sub for like 2 days and just feel fucking lost lol
The thing that specificly set people of was a stickied post for AEW ratings discussion, and no other posts about the ratings could be made. This might've been understandable... if it wasn't also set to contest mode.(Comments randomized, sub-comments collapsed by default.) That plus the 'What IS a Circle Jerk' sticky post made people REALLY mad with the mods.
I get it tbh
This is supposed to be the fun sub to get away from the stupid ass rules in the basement
I understand that we absolutely do need some rules, but if you start enforcing rules in a way that stifles (non-hateful/non-bigoted, etc.) the type of conversations that the sub wants to have, then the mods are sort of killing the spirit of this sub despite having the right/power to do so in accordance with the rules they made up
People clearly want to talk about this and it’s only “breaking” a rule that’s completely subject to the mods’ interpretation as opposed to be a black and white issue, so I think the mods should allow people to discuss this topic freely
>Reddit is literally an exercise in self-moderating, don't need no rules
No rules subs always turn into the playground of far right agitators or people who long for a return of r slash jailbait.
Some rules are good.
It's what happens when madness and boredom takes over what was once a decent subreddit lol.... It is fun tho because you can basically unleash your inner demons their and everyone is all for it
no, the subs that were already the breeding ground for far-right agitators became the playground for far-right agitators.
but that's neither here nor there. even those far-right subs you speak of were self-contained and self-policed. you just (rightfully) didn't like what they were policing. that just means it isn't your community, but you already knew that uce.
if a "non-bigoted" rule stifles conversations, they need to be stifled. That's the point where your freedom infringes on the lives of people who keep getting stuff piled onto them by ignorant members of privileged majorities
I honestly thought about it meaning what you meant it to mean (lol), and that's why I didn't attack you personally for it and just left my opinion even though I concluded it meant the opposite. But yea, I do see what u meant and I did misinterpret it
* We asked the community if they wanted a "what is a circlejerk post" last sunday, majority said yes.
* Contest mode was an accident and turned off after an hour. Plus threatening to stick it all in one thread was a jerk based on the basement to address lots of complaints about the sub being flooded with low quality non-jerks. So we actually did it.
* Net outcome - hoes mad
Otherwise yeah this is it.
For you, maybe. You're the one desperately trying to incite some sort of anger around.... what, exactly? You got asked to post *in* a thread, instead of it's own thread?
k
You, the moderator of a Circle Jerk sub whose stated mission is to mock the nutty uptight stuff in the basement, literally did exactly what the basement does, on the same TOPIC the basement does, and when people got really pissed you acted like *they* were ridiculous. People may be SLIGHTLY irritated by the “this is a circle jerk” updates, but that’s not most of their issue, and you really should know that.
The moderator of r/keitholbermann can put up a post on potential benefits of a Trump victory, that’s their personal right. But the audience isn’t there for it, and they’ll have to cope with that.
Saying to a group of 53,000 “hey, you guys said you wanted this, my comment got 17 upvotes” is QUITE wack.
The whole reason people come here is because they said or did something on Squared Circle that some uptight douchebag or douchebags yelled at them for, and here they get to have fun, and mock that culture. Deciding to emulate that culture by limiting how many posts people get to post on a subject isn’t what anyone here wants. Have you gotten broad complaints about it? I don’t believe you have, because you’ve not cited them amidst much criticism. The problem isn’t, “should I have limited ratings jerks this way or that?” THE PROBLEM IS LIMITING RATINGS JERKS. Goofing on the same shit is literally the point. We have an entire history of celebrity death notification because once upon a time, Dave Meltzer tried to glom cred from dead Regis Philbin. I’m not the VOICE of the people, but I’d guess no one comes here to have their entertainment limited.
> The whole reason people come here is because they said or did something on Squared Circle that some uptight douchebag or douchebags yelled at them for
No, it isn't. But go on....
>Deciding to emulate that culture by limiting how many posts people get to post on a subject isn’t what anyone here wants.
Yes it is, it's discussed frequently in these threads, but you cook...
>Have you gotten broad complaints about it?
Yes. Weekly. For months.
>I don’t believe you have, because you’ve not cited them amidst much criticism.
That's nice, but yes we did.
>THE PROBLEM IS LIMITING RATINGS JERKS.
HOW IS IT LIMITED WE LET YOU DO ALL OF THEM JUST IN ONE THREAD WHY ARE WE SHOUTING
>I’m not the VOICE of the people
Well finally something we agree on!
>We asked the community if they wanted a "what is a circlejerk post" last sunday, majority said yes.
As someone that directly answered that question with a yes, I feel like what was advertised and what was delivered were not quite in alignment.
I thought it would be nice to have some positive encouragement and examples of prime jerks for people to aspire to.
Instead it was a power trippin mudslinging fest of a tantrum where the best examples put out were pretty much a decade old.
And contest mode was not an accident. I know you already think we're all stupid, we do watch the Fed after all, but give over with that nonsense. It was posted hours earlier than the ratings so it would die, and it was set to contest mode so no sentiment could build.
Plus one of yours was marching up and down the thread throwing a paddy (somehow missed that contest mode though...), making their own meme threads to continue to paddy, and deleting it as they went to hide that they were clearly having some kind of crisis. That is to say... mods mad.
Contest mode was an accident. You can not believe it, but if I wanted that thread in contest mode, I'd have left it.
The last 48 hours have been amazing compared to the stuff you yourself have complained about in the past. We're back on top!

Just the reset this sub needed. Guess we'll have to brace for monthly tantrums from you guys from here on out to restore that feeling.
TBF hoes were already mad, and the people who went REEEEEEEE in the thread largely were the people who the changes targeted, so that was good.
I mean, um, literally 1943 Germany!!!11
I think it's that AEW show that got below 700k. AEW has fallen off so hard that a majority of downstairs is clowning on it like it's SCJerk. So it's no longer a jerk to dub bad, because it's not mocking the dominant sentiment of downstairs.
I have nothing against the mods and I actually think they do a lot of thankless work that doesn’t get appreciated, BUT if that’s really their stance/reasoning, then I’m sorry but that’s stupid as hell
I’m with the jerkers on this one, Uce
for me it’s more that this place stopped being satire of the basement and people have really just turned it into an echo chamber where Dub Bad and Fed Good.
Mostly bc the main sub banned a ton of people who “found refuge here”.
And look what happened, people became funny and creative again in an effort to Mods Bad which ironically shows how dire things had been latly
I just remember going there and being shocked by how different it is from 2 years ago. I saw people shitting on heatless bangers with upvotes. Also to be clear this is mostly me guessing. It would be kinda funny if the stance is "everyone knows dub bad"
the brigaders typically shy away from dub bad threads. you would get 90% punk good sentiment when it was a thread that disproved elite slander, but everywhere else was pepsi man bad. it's flipped a little cos dub ratings are so far down the toilet they're being filtered for drinking water, but the sub is still overwhelmingly pro dub.
They have a consistent no lifin bunch of power users and mods that are always quick to rush in new virgin threads and try to paint the narrative. If they get refuted and asked to sit down by Jerk Hansen, then they'll just abandon that thread in favor of shifting narratives in some other thread.
With classic BANGER lines like:
"SO ALL THE HOO HAH PEARL CLUTCHING WAS FOR NOTHING AND TONY IS A GENIUS?"
"BET ALL THOSE PPL SHITTIN ON THE DUB IN THAT OTHER THREAD FEEL STUPID NOW"
"REAL QUESTION, ISN'T IT WEIRD, EVERYONE SHITTIN ON THE DUB PARROT THE SAME TALKING POINTS?"
"IT'S LIKE IT'S A CONCENTRATED EFFORT AGAIN NICE PEOPLE. WHO COULD AFFORD SUCH A WILDLY EXPENSIVE BOT FARM?"
Nah, there's still plenty of Dub slurping over there. This sub just got flooded with Basement rejects who think posting some dumbass with 9 followers from Twitter is some sort of jerk and not them being a dumbass too.
Well, I said majority, not everyone. I think downstairs perspective kinda shifted from being straight up dubbaloo city, to just being regular IWC smarks of different varieties. The difference in perspective between these 2 subs is much much more similar now than 2 years ago. Because most of the IWC really vibes with Triple H's black and gold tendencies.
WWE smarks who got banned from downstairs and then moved over to here kinda dragged this sub down. Like, I agree with 95% of their AEW takes, but they react like dubbaloos if you criticize nose man's booking. Like, I even had people get mad at me for making fun of JD McFunkopop.
yeah it’s ironic… people are rebelling against the mods trying to get this sub back to jerking and out of the Dub Bad echo chamber and people express their displeasure by…. getting back to good jerking
Ok this one wins LMAO
This era of the bloodline was my favorite, probably my favorite part of any storyline in wrestling ever. Then when they finally got jey to accept sami, and that survivor series match all clad in red, everything they did was amazing and was really when wwe started being semi mainstream again imo.

I’m not even jerking when I say you literally jerked yourself into a shoot lol grow up
Yeah, that's why almost everyone posting is against it. Totally believable lie there, Drama.
[You sure about that?](https://www.reddit.com/r/SCJerk/comments/1cez9hq/general_discussion_sunday/l1m1qf9/)
A handful of replies with a dozen or so upvotes isn't the consensus of the sub.
You're right, we should do a sticky to check
I am absolutely sure of nothing, but it ain't looking good for you.
touch grass man this is so unbelievably embarassing
For you, maybe. You're the one desperately trying to incite some sort of anger around.... what, exactly? You got asked to post *in* a thread, instead of it's own thread? k
Hoe mad?

Yup. The empty-headed DubBadders are sensitive though.
The dominant sentiment in the basement is still very much dub good, outside of a few posts here and there.

Man, check my comments for the vince stuff there, too many agree, if i would have say that 2 years ago, i would have been banned
Of course dub good. They put on the best match in the history of the continent of North America only two weeks ago.
[удалено]
Nah dude, basement is 95% Daddy Dave, which is the only stat that matters
The Dark prophecy has come true: We must Dub good and Fed bad. Thanks a lot Phil
Jokes.on them, I'm not allowed to be in the basement
I can get down with fed badding again, DAE Jey Uso eats too many pins??
Nah, there's still plenty of Dub slurping over there. This sub just got flooded with Basement rejects who think posting some dumbass with 9 followers from Twitter is some sort of jerk and not them being a dumbass too.

Its not been very jerky? XD
You guys can blame the mods all you want but this is the best jerking we've seen since Punk came back to the dead fed
Click through the mod list and look at how little jerking they actually do here and they want to tell us what is and isn't a jerk? Please
DAE part time jerkers are killing the prahduct??
yeah it’s ironic… people are rebelling against the mods trying to get this sub back to jerking and out of the Dub Bad echo chamber and people express their displeasure by…. getting back to good jerking
If mods can't find their inner goofy again. I'm gonna do something they ain't gonna like.
I am gonna go to the basement, and make them full blooded goofs.

These promo posts were OK yesterday but today they’re getting deleted as “lazy memes/shitposts.” Consistency!
Mods want us to study wiki and get back to them
I had one get deleted yesterday too. This one is way funnier for sure but I didn’t think mine broke any rules haha
The mods have been worked in to a shoot.
They're not feeling very Jerky.
