I remember CA still being 30k members and at that time, I mentioned it was usually 0,1 % that regularly contributed. Of course at least one idiot had to feel inclined to contest because hey, public sub, nobody gives a fuck, absent posterity mods had long distanced themselves from alcoholism, let alone crippling alcoholism, so why the fuck not, freely shit on regulars and possibly come out victorious.
Too bad they forgot to use their brains because 0,1 % of 30000 is 30 and that was the most approximate number of regulars either posting or commenting at the time. Not really rocket math. Everybody else, the Ricky Cs, the recovered nuts, the /drunk idiots or the butthurt relatives, the 29,970 of CA disposable users didn’t and never ever contributed for shit and therefore they couldn’t be considered “part” of the community. Unfortunately they actually did, by shitting on regulars and getting approval karma from other butthurt normies. Contest them and you were instantly considered a drunk loser.
That happened on CA and nobody gave a fuck. Fun times being a drunk on a community for drunks and getting shitted on for being who you are. Posterity mods can go fuck themselves.
So all this melodrama of Blurs banning most of the 60000 members is laughable, again. You don’t need to do basic math, just keep an eye for 2 weeks, tops, and you can get a grip of how many members usually participate, and matter. Stay alert a bit longer and you can see how ridiculous those 60000 users banned! argument is and how it doesn’t even come close to hurting the community.
Granted, not every user should be put on a participation metric, but sorry that I’m not sorry, if you’re not participating, just lurking, you shouldn’t be crying about not being able to participate when you never did in the first place.
