Am I a good newfriend?
I started reading this post being pretty confident but became less sure of it by the end.
I think it needs to be underlined that there is a distinction to be made in the last paragraph though.
There is plenty of celebrated members sharing their personal fetishes. Real deviant shit like brown women, traps or worst of all British women.
I think what separates them (and hopefully me) from the people announcing they like to starve themselves to the point they can be overwhelmed by a stiff breeze or the people claiming they are "greek gay" day one on the forum is that they skilfully weave their degeneracy into their normal posting habits while still being funny. (You kinda covered this with "like it's national news", I just wanted to add my two cents to that.)
Still think there is sometimes a double standard where behaviour that would be tolerated coming from a known account is made out to be a capital offence when the account is less than 5 months old.
Let's just say that nobody here is perfect, we all have our bullshit. I have moments where I am blatantly unfunny and I obviously get shit for it.
A part of this forum that nobody talks about and yet we all seem to follow is that the older and more well-known someone is, the more the others will overlook shit. Also if someone is retarded 1 out of every 15-20 comments they make and people know for a fact that person is able to contribute and be well behaved then mostly people will let them off with just a light nipping. Just look at how long Nolan was tolerated for and how much people resisted just banning him, because Nolan, for all his faults, was a very old member of our little group and people knew him, if he had been a newfriend then the jannies would've just kicked him to the curb and nobody would've batted an eye.
I wouldn't call any of this "respect for your elders" or anything as gay as that, it's more of "knowing who you're messing with" and having respect for people who are both active and contribute something. It's also a fact that older members
MOSTLY know how they should act so they cross the line less. Of course some people will try to mess with you regardless of how well they know you or how friendly they have been in the past, some people take very big issue with some statements you may make and they will malign you for a while, one important thing is knowing when you're being messed with for fun and when you're being warned about your behavior which is tough because both tend to overlap depending on who is doing it and to whom.
None of this is explicitly stated or put to writing anywhere in the forum of course, it's simply me trying to analyze the societal order in here and I may be completely wrong and just larping, who knows! As for you... I can't really say how others perceive you, but for me you're some dude who I think? I have seen around but I only noticed you in the Niji thread recently so might as well be new for what concerns me. In general I think you can be well behaved and logical but you also have some retarded moments which people call you out for, if you try to limit those then you're peachy.
Edit: Someone, at some point after this forum was created said that being in here is like having to endure constant hazing rituals; that might just be the truest statement ever said about this forum.
