Viking Kitty/ZoT Rebuild
FreeRepublic ^ | 1/13/2022 | Bikkuri

Ok, deleted 4 paragraphs.. We need to bring back the Kitties (Viking Kitties/ZoT)..

It is getting 'lax' here on FR, and I have received both Freepmail and email about the currant situation...

I am a longtime hand at owning domains, forums, and moderating forums for others over the years.

Gosh, you should be hired immediately to run this place.
You have so much experience and everything.
You're double awesome and we should all heed
the hell out of your words lest we perish in shame.

Right?

That's always an option, yes.

Absolutely not. I don’t have the extra time, got our own to maintain and keep track of.

Do what you like. I like the FR and just hate to see it start to feed on it’s self. Once that starts it is downhill from there.

I have been fortunate to have historic examples of this situation under my belt, and none of them positive or productive.

In the future I will share my journal of threads here wrecked by this. Starting it now to back up my experience and “told you so” in the near future.

And if users here are so expendable and valueless we will gladly take them Sir. Because this will indeed drive them away. And the whole board and domain will suffer for it.

You must have missed all the troll attacks before you signed up......unless you’re a retread.

Ok, so if it is not like that now then why fire this gang up? What are you going to feed them? They will be looking for something to feed their appetite. And they will eventually start feeding on each other.

Does no one here have any sense of cause and effect?

Who is "we"? Have you a gerbil in your pouch?

Because this will indeed drive them away.

It's gone on for decades. It's now a problem?

And the whole board and domain will suffer for it.

Oh DOOM is coming unto US ALL!
We're looking at basically dancing upon the graves of the recently Zotted.
It's good exercise, highly cathartic and fun for everyone.

You hate exercise and fun? Are you a Moonie?

You seem awfully invested in your disdain for the Viking Kitties. How very odd.

Knowing you it is obvious that it would do no good to explain to you that this “fun” is actually just a practice of sadistic fetishes...

I know you don’t care. But those who are targeted very much do care. And they will leave. Can the site really afford to start running off too many users?

It’s just bad business to run off all your customers.

No I am against a roving gang zot ping list to dogpile other members. It is exactly how the left works. They organize gangs to attack targets in numbers because they are too cowardice to do it by solo.

Nothing positive will come from it. seen it before.

You clearly do not grasp the concept.

Nobody is being run off.

The idea is to memorialize or celebrate the Zotting of bad actors.
After the fact. After the Moderator or Jim makes the call.
Not me, not you and not the community.

Once that happens, those who care to do so dance a jig upon the grave.

How is that any kind of different from what already happens?
All it is basically is an acknowledgment. Plus an opportunity
to talk smack about the person or lament their loss.

Where the hell is the problem with that?

Do you object to the obituaries in your local paper too?

Your position is reasonable and respected by this FReeper.

Still, some Zots were fun to watch.

Disclaimer - I have never been zotted. I have been wrongly called a troll at times, usually by immature posters. And I have been temporarily banned on two occasions by mods with no sense of humor.

I was a Mod on a fan forum. We had rules. The owner didn't enforce them. Well, she selectively enforced them. There was a poster who threatened and terrorized other posters. It stopped being a fun place to post because the owner refused to ban the Bully. Turned out that the Bully was a mental patient. I had posters begging me to stop the Bully. The owner refused, posters started leaving and so did I.

FR has rules. Jim bans those who repeatedly break the rules. It is HIS forum. If Jim doesn't like the Viking Kitties, HE will say so.

My guess is that you are a retread and the Viking Kitties were involved. I say that because of your MANY posts against them. It speaks volumes.

They’re actually more to dogpile things that slither over here from places like DU, and trolls who come on here to consistently post straight up leftist trash. They’re usually rude and for some reason a lot of them are illiterate. (And they probably don’t bathe regularly, but that’s just speculation on my part.)

The zot threads can be a lot of fun. It is very rare, if ever that an innocent poster is the subject.

FR is a lot nicer and more tolerant than places like Twitter who will outright nuke people for speaking against The Narrative.

I was never on the Ping list and only saw the Zots afterward so I’ll take your word for it. :-)

I wasnt either. But I’ve seen a few...was even on the wrong end of one once, though I dont think it was the viking kitty list.
