Because nobody else is in on the joke.
It's a good thing Ear just explained it then, and now absolutely everybody is in on the "joke."

If you don't like the topic then pass it up? What one finds acceptable or not if objective.
Why did you assume my question to be an actual opinion? I asked the question because I saw the random "why did they liebe" thread of the week get frowned upon by goodspeed, while in the initial announcement it seemed like it is a free for all now.
I'll allow the occasional shitpost, but I have to draw a line somewhere and it seems reasonable to draw it at the incessant repetition of the same inside joke which most of the community isn't even on the inside of. I'll still avoid mod actions if I can, and opted to try and steer the discussion instead. I think it might help if they explain what happened at wildwood. If they aren't interested in that, I don't see the joke ever becoming funny for 90% of us.
Ultimately, if the community is okay with that kind of spam, I will be too. But I know a lot of people aren't.
Call me cynical, but nothing ever happened at wildwood. It's literally just a word thrown out there, posing as an inside joke. There is no joke. That's why there is never any substance from those jokes, even when we give in and ask what's going on. It's always deflected with another one liner, or put off in a "we'll tell you later, it'll be awesome then" sort of answer. It's literally just being as obnoxious as possible for attention and when attention is paid, nothing comes of it. There is never, ever any substance.
I'm personally okay with it, but again, it's boring. Frankly speaking, I think paying it any sort of attention won't get you anywhere. I applaud your courage in entertaining walnutsh
Also I do remember A414A. The malarkey probably was even higher than what we have here, but at least there were real discussions behind it. ya know?
Check out the liebe thread to know what went down in wildwood.
A post not made is a post given away
A slushie a day keeps the refill thread at bay
Jackson Pollock was the best poster to ever to post on these forums

The more people complain about it the more he'll find it funny to post that stuff lol

Bad news for people who planned on waiting for me to get to sleep before shitposting:
Your boy @n0el is also going to be moderating this place, so if you have a complaint/report please send it to either of us, or both. Keep in mind our timezones (I'm GMT+1, noel is GMT-5).
Due to a disagreement between myself and other ESOC staff on how to handle certain controversial content on the site, I can no longer mod off topic.
I think it may be time for me to bury the hatchet in my fight for free speech on this website. Maybe others will step up. Good luck with it.

@Community Team Please unpin this thread. It's clear that the current mod policy is now vastly different from what I originally wrote.
An updated mod policy post would be much appreciated. To me it is unacceptable that we no longer seem to be allowed to discuss moderation (at least, that's what I'm assuming based on this thread being locked: viewtopic.php?f=314&t=21482) and I'm wondering if that's the actual intent. I'm also wondering why a number of other threads are being locked because there was no reason given (Always give a reason) and how that fits into the new policy.
imo @chris1089 exercised extrajudicial force to unrightfully ban dozens of users... and is receiving no iterative good faith remedial action as would be befitting a functioning system of justice. This is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy.
Rotten to the core. We need some new yung gun to enter the force and stand up against the thin b̶l̶u̶e̶ green line... like if mark whalberg had an altruistic twin... like @fightinfrenchman imo. The script writes itself in the play o life. Be amenable to good drama, and also justice.
If I were a petal
And plucked, or moth, plucked
From flowers or pollen froth
To wither on a young child’s
Display. Fetch
Me a ribbon, they, all dead
Things scream.
