I see quite a few people posting angry comments in threads they consider to be worthless trolls, aka shitpots. Instead of commenting there and bumping these threads to the top of the forum, how about staying out and letting them sink to oblivion?


Update, Oct 30: A good way to avoid the temptation to comment on shitposts is to hide them instead. Thanks Praxa for noting that ESGST has this option. Here's how to do it:

  1. If you don't have ESGST script installed, get it here
  2. After installation, click the ESGST button at the top of the page to open the script settings
  3. Scroll to Discussions (section #4) and enable both "Discussion Filters" and "Enable the option to hide discussions"
  4. When you see a discussion that you don't want to waste your time on, click the Eye icon to hide it. You can always unhide it from the Hidden Discussions management panel (open the script settings and click this button)

YOBA

I knew about trash pandas, hadn't heard of trash mules before.
Mules are already pretty much trash horses, so a trash mule must be super trashy 🤔

You were previously warned about posting people's email addresses. Take some time to review the Guidelines, again.

Can you edit his comment to hide the e-mail address?

No. We do not have the power to edit user comments.

So, people can just fill in domains until they have the address? How does that solve the problem?

That's true for any word on any web page, and specifically any nickname (of which there are about two dozens on this very page).

Furthermore, there's nothing that identifies his name as a username of an email address. There's no AT sign ("@"), which is also true for all the other nicknames on this page.

Specious arguments notwithstanding, posting the email addresses of others is a no-no. Don't do it.

I thought I had your attention, before? Remove the name and remove the link. Then, politely inform me that you've complied so that I can let this go.

I deleted both comments, for now, and added you on Steam. I don't see how what you're asking for is aligned with site rules, but I'd be interested to hear your explanation.

Let me clarify a few things.

  1. I caught you violating two SG rules. I could have suspended you immediately, but I gave you a warning for the more serious infraction. My leniency garnered me attitude instead of compliance, so that was obviously a mistake on my part.
  2. Mods give information when they correct someone, just as I did with you. If you want a more detailed explanation, the proper avenue is through a Support ticket. Mods deal with SG-related issues while they are on the site. When they leave the site, they are attempting to take a break from it, not have it follow them home.
  3. Mods have limited time and patience, so we focus on making corrections quick and efficient so we can move on to other things. Arguing is counter-productive and burns up patience fairly quickly.

I did not break any rules after editing the comments (I went over the rules to make sure), but since you requested I still deleted the edited posts.

This doesn't solve the problem, because I still want to post IG gift links as key drops, and by your standards I either shouldn't do that or should monitor the links and delete them as soon as someone takes the key. Since clarifications are very much needed, I can either create a ticket or a thread. Whichever you prefer.

...or should monitor the links and delete them as soon as someone takes the key.

That is correct. Once they have been claimed, remove the link from public view at your earliest opportunity so as to avoid displaying the person's email address.

Earliest opportunity is when the taker notifies me that they took the key, and I made it clear that I'll be happy to remove the link. It's not my responsibility to constantly monitor the links, and this principle isn't limited to IG gifts. SG doesn't have jurisdiction on the world wide web and can't expect users to constantly monitor every external link that they post here. If people follow links to external pages then voluntarily go there and share their information, it's completely on them.

Refer back to what I just wrote. If you have doubts about a link being claimed or not, try clicking on it and it will tell you whether or not it has been claimed. Until that point, there will be no email address associated with the link. When one is, it will show you and you may remove the link.

Yirg, if you feel that way then you simply shouldn't post them. I understand where you're coming from, but this is not the hill to fight and die on.

I was planning to start a thread about this, but IndieGala changed their gifting system and now all gift links are inaccessible, which makes this whole discussion moot. I mean, expecting posters to continue and monitor links they post is unreasonable and not something that's required by site rules, but other than IG gift links it's not normally an issue.

Sure, put it on the person READING to avoid shit rather then not letting people post shit in the first way.

Sigh, can you just grow up already, Niko? You add nothing to the convo, you are clearly pissed off at someone and your posts show this to be true. Get a life already.... And to be truthful, very few of us want any kind of interaction with you recently. Though to be fair, I used to have you white-listed for a lovely ratio - what happened?

Ok, fair enough - I didn't read the whole thread and was just reacting to a few specific comments you made. My apology - clearly none of us are just one or two comments.

As to the thread, the basics of it are what I responded to - not who wrote it or how they expressed it. I've been in that scary position on more than one occasion, been mugged, have had my apartment robbed (fortunately never while I was there), etc... It is not a good feeling to live one's life in fear. So yeah, that is what I was responding to.

I also know and care for plenty of fine and worthy men. And I did not think the thread was about "every" man - just few that think this type of behavior is fine and harmless.

Anyway, thanks for the considered response.
