Know Your Nazi

Quick story, forgive if this is a derail to this rail-free thread.
It's a tale of a post.
A single post.
This post made a reasonable suggestion to disallow nazi imagery on a website for children
Now, that could have been the end of our story. The little post could have been moved to maintenance, tagged with a response that said, "we value all of our visitors opinions and will take this under advisement" and then closed.
But no.
Everything is an action adventure, so rather than that we have a blarg-fest followed by absurd responses from people who would appear to an outside observer to be employees.
So the little post that became a big thread was closed at the posts request.
End of the story?
No. Because someone links the little post to thread number two: electric boogaloo.
Now our little post that started as a simple suggestion is now two of the top trending threads.
Anyway.
Cosmo, waitin' on you bud.

A moderator openly said this place is a big supporter of nazis.
Obviously it was a joke.
But sarcasm doesn't translate through a keyboard well.

Even if a hypothetical website has community moderators that aren't technically on staff, appearances matter.
To a 12 year-old or a Huffpo reader, won't that post be taken at face value?
The fact that there is no legal liability here won't matter too much.
The fact that everyone here is well within their rights won't matter.
It's about the money, honey.

(I gave you guys the "Huffpo readers as 12 year olds" and the (((it's about the money, honey))) thing as a gimme. You're welcome.)

I still do Nazi it

Hey Dickman, I'll have the usual, please, but could you add some "still" to my "I do Nazi it" this time?
And could I see the whine list?

As an incredibly white user of this website, I can confirm we're secretly undertaking actions to develop The Fourth Reich.

The plans are literally discussed in the open and well underway. What in the world is your definition of "secretly"?

RandomMan: The plans are literally discussed in the open and well underway.
ELIZA: That's interesting, RandomMan. What do you like about plans are literally discussed in the open and well underway?

For the record I have no idea why people are posting fish.
Honestly I don't.
But I think they are saying that this whole thing is dumb.
That no one here is helping, winning, pwning, or doing anything but prove my point.
Close enough, Big Red?
Alright, I'm walking away now,
Got stuff to do.
I'd appreciate if no one posted till I get back.
I'm worried we're running out of space.
I don't know how big the spool is for this thread.

Day 2:
As I wake, I'm surprised in the morning to see my little shelter still standing. We camped on the banks of the thread for the night and waited out the storm. It's quiet now. With patrols running up and down the thread, it was a risk, but what isn't?
(a single high-hat keeps time slowly in whole notes)
(A twangy psychedelic Gibson SG plucks a few dissonant notes in a minor key)
We hooked up with the 23rd out of riff-raff that were making hits up and down the doh-dang fighting their way to washington. Real hotshots these guys, real karma tycoons, real pro-tip advisors, real true American meme bois laying down God-tier swag and taking no prisoners.
We're going to lose this god damn war.
(drum fills loudly on the tom-toms. a singer whoops and screams)
(an eerie Moog synth plays vaguely Steppenwolf organ chords)
We're sailing up the thread, and I know somewhere, somewhere, I'll find Mod Kurtz before I reach the end. I prayed for a trending post, and for my sins, they answered.
("on a blue bus! on a blue rug! on a blue bus! Yeeeaaeahh!!")
Nobody knows how it all ends up. No one can tell. The pin heads down at HQ have no idea whats happenings out here. No one is in command. Dickman just got a letter from home. Just kids really. Some of them have a few rings, Rivers, Lurk, but they don't know either. Who does anymore?
("Hey Ha Hey Oooooohhh!!! Yeaaaahhhh!!!)
Capt. Meesh tries to keep it together as best he can but you can tell. He's got that look. He sees what going on. But him, Red Man, hell even that crazy Nazi Lamprey, they're just like me, just like you. Someone puts the marching orders in your hands, no one chooses. Not really. All I know is this thread has to end one way or another. Whether I'm still here to see it? I guess that's up to whatever is around the next bend.
("Thisss issss theeee EEEEEEEeeEEeeEEnnnddd!!…")

Can anyone tell me how to link a thread to social media?
No thread in particular.
Weird how this stuff always happens on a friday.
Then blarg blarg blarg all the way to Sunday until someone real shows up on Monday morning.
Amiright?
Almost like people know how stuff works.

Lemme try from a different direction to address OP's valid concerns.

Cosmo, I know as a wingnut you are automatically compelled to take the opposite position of whatever us libtards say and there is absolutely no way to override that prime-directive even if you know, even if someone is telling you, that they are playing you like a fiddle, however, as a liberal in a minority position in this thread I am appealing to you as a conservative in power to show kindness, empathy, understanding, and mercy and please ask to have this thread closed.
I have the honor of being your obedient servant,
y.n

WOW!
We overtook RandomMans "White Pages" thread on trending topics and are gaining on views!
Thanks Toasties!
We at Avocado Toast are committed to having a "edgy" space but also one within the normal boundaries of acceptable topics for public threads with a known YA audience.

Alright, before we kick it over to Skooge with the weather and traffic, we'd like to talk about the power of controversy.
For example this thread blowing the hell up when it could have been nothing because some folks don't have no sense.
Also, take for example the major topic in America right now.
Everybody's talking about nazis. They are everywhere. Real Nazis of Beverley Hills is a smash. HBO has both Confederacy and The Price is Reich planned for this fall unless those pesky kids and their hashtags don't mess it all up.
Controversy was what HBO was hoping for. It's worked in the past. But what they didn't see, is that the winds had shifted.
They blundered some bad PR and all of a sudden a few words about a project that hasn't even been written yet has caused #NoConederacy to trend during HBO's #1 trending show.
So to Cheezburger, on some crazy off chance they were reading this, think about "taint".
Do you really really really want a Nazi Lamprey under your banner.
To KYM. Do you really really want a moderator taking your precious million dollar logo, "Know Your Meme", and twisting it until it reads "Know Your Nazi" and then actually posting it as a joke?
Are the politics of not ever budging worth it?
I know the answer for Cosmo.
Not sure about everyone else yet.

I just realized why you guys have the run of this website seeing as you all are such incredible #####'s
The reason is, you pretend you're nazis!
It's terrifying!
Get it KYM!
That's the joke!
Ha ha!
No one wants to risk pushing a nazis' buttons so that means they can just stomp around bullying everyone and no one will push them back!

I'd like everyone to consider the judgement on display in this thread.
Sorry to spam, I assume I have the mic now, anyone wants to chime in then just let me know.
I don't know the ins-and-outs but lets just take any ole website.
Let's assume this website had community moderators – a very wise and cost effective solution to a complex on-line problem.
Let's say you had entrusted those community moderators to represent the company. Let's suppose the moderators had a, what the kids call, a "epic fail" on a constant and habitual basis.
Wouldn't it be reasonable to consider the situation and perhaps add some reasonable restrictions seeing as leaving people to their own discretion doesn't seem to produce results that are in-line with the expectations of the shareholders of this hypothetical website?
Of course people will complain, but deep down they will know that they are the ones who f'ed up, and they will still stay and post despite having to switch to "generic-black-military-hat lamprey" from "nazi lamprey" – hypothetically speaking of course.

Look, I'm just here for your domestic-terrorism meme's
I'm willing to trade a Captain Picard gif, my Uncanny X-men #134, the rest of my gum, and I'll keep letting you copy my trig homework.
Deal?
Just the nazis.
You can keep the rest.

What's on your mind?
You can talk about anything except, like. exterminating entire races of people who happen to be reading your forums.
(((do you know what I'm talking about?)))
- whoops sorry. hit the reverb by mistake.
Do you know what I'm talking about?

(psst just joking you aren't on the air. Had this been an actual transmission of the Libtard Broadcast Channel you'd be informed in the newspaper or legitimate cable news channel, where informed people get real information.)

No Sarcasm Have a great day Armesi. Thanks for calling in!

What a great caller!
Thanks to all of our listeners. We can't do this without you.

But sir, what about a cryptographer, a biologist, I mean there is plenty of space in the sideways gravity room. We could literally have a rave in here with a DJ and a bar.
No.

Heil Don

Hello are you that guy from the deploraball?
I just want to assure you that I, no sarcasm, totally disagree with that guy who ran up and did that thing to you in that video when you were explaining your frog thing.
That's not what the left is about (or at least it shouldn't be).
I know we don't agree (guys I'm being real here) I know we don't agree on just about anything, but we can't just run up and punch each other.
We are better than that.
We are Americans.
We can all loath each other peacefully.
PS – you shouldn't post nazis stuff on a kids website.

>We are Americans.

What, everyone? Why don't you take your nationalist bullshit somewhere else. Ever heard of pot meeting the kettle? Also, take your meds and lay off the coffee. Four consecutive posts is a clear sign of ADHD or mania, and you posted 10.

>nazis stuff on a kids website.

There's a difference between actual pro-nazi propaganda and le funnay images, and kids learn why nazism is bad during history classes. Also, stop misusing the term "kids website". Even though most of the internet isn't age restricted, that doesn't meant it's made primarily for kids (especially dumb ones) and needs to cater specifically to them.

Just for the record Lurk.
I'm literally telling them.
Yet they persist.
Do you see how this is a problem?
I'm explaining it as they walk into it.
There are some decisions being made around here for ideological reasons, and not for common sense reasons.
Forget the blaring red sirens going off just, like, what about business stuff?
Someone far far more clever than I, with more contacts, like say an editor, is going to pull out the rod and reel.
Meesh, tell em what will happen.
No, i'll tell you.
You're readin' it.

If you want this thread to end, then why are you posting in it?

By the way, Jakovick
Thank you for bringing up the "not being age restricted thing"
That's a good point and another angle to think about seeing as that is what we call a sweeping detail for this website.

But first a PSA
Please nobody post boobies.
This site has kids.
Ok?
Sure, you can start a thread about me, put my name in (((parentheses))), tell me you wish the Holocaust had been worse. Sure, moderators will chime in. Why not?
It's just blatant hate speech directed at an unknown forumite.

Now, obviously I'm an adult. Maybe that's not obvious with this crowd. But know that I'm an adult.
What am I to think happens to younger forumites who run afoul of the brute squad led by the team of moderators?
I'm wagging my finger in my mind.

And you guys are so stubborn.
You all know Cosmo could close this.
I'm guessing a Mod could too. Not sure.
But that would be surrender, right?
Being both reckless and predictable is a bad combo.

I totally suck at that. I don't know how to copy images off internet explorer yet.
I just downloaded AOL a few months ago.
I do verbal memes.
I can describe a very cute pupper, if you'd like.

Go off on it. I'm done there. I actually kind of trust you.
Everyone else, dank your memes anywhere else but here if you know what's best.
This one is mine until someone closes it.

If you guys spam post me…

The thread will trend further, guaranteeing that it's at the top come Monday morning.
That would embarrass me so please don't do it.

Meesh, maybe you should just flat out tell them what you meant instead of just imply it with memes?

OBVIOUSLY that wasn't the intention.
Jacob intended to pwn me with this.
it's a joke.
So you can save me the cartoons of (you) with the (joke) flying overhead, I got it.
But suppose you had absolutely no sense of humor like a dour shreaking hysterical liberal?
Now, just for a second, imagine someone took you guys seriously because, for example, nazis had just stormed a town in Virginia, killed a woman, and whats great about the long posts is that I can type in the middle and storm trooper won't even read it before he posts again went on a rampage with a rogues gallery of alt-right, actual nazis, hundreds of militia armed with assault rifles, and the rest who were protesting economic insecurity, I guess.
- now of course that could all be fake news CGI.
- and they probably buried the footage of the antifa militias.
But suppose you were a cuck that bought into all that "wall-to-wall footage" stuff about rampaging nazis.

What does this post look like?
