>>54819878I remember that timeframe. I was just kinda hoping after the latest recruitment of gentlemen in the last two months that the state of things on this board would improve, not drastically decrease.
Out of curiousity, I marked every single post in a blatant genwar thread last week for just that, which were about 250 posts that I pointed out for the gentlemen to take notice of. What they were about or if they were partaking in it or not didn't matter to me.
Surely that would've warranted to give me a vacation for my overeager engagment with the system, but I didn't even got a slap on the wrist for the potentially false usage of it nor were a single one of the marked posts deleted.
One thing I picked up was that if a post often needs more than a handful of markings for the gentlemen to take notice, which in the case of generals might become a problem, as regular will drop the thread due to the previous absence of moderation, which allows more of the troublemaker to accumulate. Essentially a small scale snowballing situation where more troublemakers are acting up, the absence of gentlemen causes regular threads or generals to get left behind, the regulars who can effectively fight back against rule breakers with the system are in the lower numbers and get drowned out in the potential marking que for cases like Sharty and Vorefag spam (Which oddly enough are often one or two hours away from the timeframe where the gentlemen do their rounds), allowing the aforementioned troublemaker to get away with it.
