So yes, I am a desperate fuck who goes on dating sites. I haven't had any luck on them this far and don't expect much.
I will say that I have seen an unusually high amount of self-loathing tatted up angry early 20s girls broadcasting "anti-capitalism" as part of their political views. I wrote a big response to this girl's profile, and she never responded. I think it was all the facts and big words she didn't recognize ;)
Maybe this is why I am single.
Which leads to hilarious exchanges like:
>Are you out of your god damn mind? You are seriously unaware why you have trouble finding a partner? Maybe it's because you would see a profile on a dating site and send a long winded rant, then think that you didn't get a response because you're too smart. Jesus Christ dude >>dude im not tryin to date the girl i wrote that to.... im just trolling on that one. >>>Nice save... nooooooot! Just own it. >>>>she lives in another state lol.
and posts like:
>>I think it was all the facts and big words she didn't recognize ;)
>It wasn't, but I think you should keep posting about your misadventures on dating sites because goddamn you could fund a Ron Paul rally with all this comedy gold.
and harsh exchanges like:
>Maybe this is why I am single. >>You are single because you come across as a self entitled retarded narcissistic asshole. Prepare to live the rest of your life alone. >>>LOL wowza! It's just reddit, brah! Smoke a joint and relax. I promise you I'm not that bad.
and:
>Have you considered the possibility that your response was untactful, and desperate - at least from her perspective? So you run back here seeking validation, after she rejects & ignores your anti-social advances? >>Wow, do you really think that her not responding hurts my feelings? It's just something about OKCupid girls I noticed, and I am no seeking validation lol... It is really not that deep
and it goes on.

I don't think /r/subredditdrama can lecture anyone on brigading. That's what happens on every post.
> I don't think /r/subredditdrama[1] can lecture anyone on brigading. That's what happens on every post.
rarely happens, and if it does then the mods drop the ban hammer with extreme prejudice.
You're kidding right? It happens on every thread.
citation needed.
Just look at any linked thread when it's new and then check back in 10 hours, it's pretty obvious.
Here's an honest question:
Do you think that normal, rational people would upvote most of the drama featured on this subreddit? Why or why not?
SRD does not initiate or condone brigading, normal people just visit the linked threads and downvote because... they're normal.
Get over it, it's not like these points matter in life anyways.
I don't really care about the karma. It's just ridiculous that people here are complaining about other subreddits brigading when that's exactly what happens here.
"You horrible people do it and are horrible horrible for being horrible
But I don't care, really."
Seriously, if you dont' care why bother to complain about it?
Or for that matter if we're that awful why are you even in this sub to begin with?
I don't care about the karma, I do care about the self-righteous hypocrisy.
And I usually like this sub. I like watching the popcorn. But anyone who thinks this place is better than the other meta subs is full of shit.
Yep, and you realize that "don't care about the karma" generally translates to "I'll be a stubbron jackass if I want too dispite being shown that my contributions and self ritghtous behavior is obviously not wanted." right?
I think SRD has a much smaller circlejerk here. I guess it leans more towards SRS, but there are enough SRSSucks members here to balance it out.
every time is a big accusation. sometimes maybe but we even got an admin, /u/intortus I think, who said it does happen but not a lot. Even if it does happen and there is proof of a user popcorn pissing then they get banned.
There isn't always proof. If I go in to a thread and start downvoting everything, there is no way that you can know it was a "popcorn pisser" rather than a regular in that subreddit.
Yeah you can. Admins can see who voted and where they came from.
> There isn't always proof. If I go in to a thread and start downvoting everything, there is no way that you can know it was a "popcorn pisser" rather than a regular in that subreddit.
admins can.
I know its a flawed system but we as a community try to follow and uphold the rules of the sub and only a small part of the community don't follow them and when we find out we deal with it.
Its not fair to judge the whole sub by what a few members do a small percentage of the time
edit: grammar
Do you expect the admins to come in and ban everyone who votes on a linked thread in every meta sub, because I highly doubt they have the time to do that.
IF you think the rules are being broken, by all means hit the report button.
> Do you expect the admins to come in and ban everyone who votes on a linked thread in every meta sub
Nope, they just ban the whole subreddit e.g. /r/niggers (though it isn't the best example). Which is why there is currently a stickied post on the front page after the last brigade warning guys not to vote on posted dramas and why all links must have np to discourage voting
Can you pass the salt?
But if you're not taking an admins word that its not a problem, what exactly will satisfy you?
I tell you what is easy to see though and that's how many of the 1200 comments (an SRD record?) on yesterday's post came from ancaps and SSS users, some of them openly admitting to brigading. But yeah, SRD is the one with a brigading problem.
Also, please tell /r/niggers and /r/bronyhate that the admins don't ban for brigading.
