This website was literally so fucking stupid. You used to be able to just fucking edit somebody’s post. Like just change it entirely. Nothing was stopping you. What the fuck. Imagine logging into your youtub account and some bozo changed your funny comment to say you love being a dummy. That’s what used to happen here. Every single day.

“that dress is such a lovely shade of [untranslatable word]” “….what?” “That dress. It’s [untranslatable word]. I think you’d look nice in that color.” “We… We don’t have that color.”
so my hot take on this is: wasn’t it kind of weird that a 13+ rated website had a thriving and easily accessible hardcore porn presence?
either the porn presence or the age limit should probably have been changed from the start. it’s either a website aimed at 13-year-olds and up, or it’s a website that hosts porn…. trying to be both was greedy and irresponsible
If a person put their name as under-18 when they signed up, they are unable to search without SafeSearch until they turn 18.
I think what you’re trying to say is that staff should make SafeSearch work properly – and I agree.
this guy has been messaging me MULTIPLE TIMES every day asking me to promo his (non palaeontology related) book after he THREATENED TO SUE ME and calls me names on twitter i absolutely cannot believe the utter nerve
me calling someone an asshole and then asking them to promote my book seconds later
If you’re not familiar with him he’s the guy who threatened to sue me because i made fun of him for thinking Velociraptor was a vulture-like soaring bird and that obscure mammals known only from teeth could fly based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever
he also got banned from wikimedia commons when, after his (wildly inaccurate) commissions were repeatedly taken down because he never properly got permission for them to be added, he threatened to sue wikimedia commons.
he then devoted his time to vandalising wikipedia pages with his headcanons about poorly-known fossil animals, often which are directly contradicted by the actual papers he cites.
anyway someone formally requested that he be banned from wikipedia, upon which he threatened to sue wikipedia. he was temporarily banned, at which point he got himself banned from the place where he tried to appeal his ban, after which point he somehow got himself banned from the place where you go to in order to try and appeal for access to his talk page.
he then figured out how to make a bunch of wikipedia sockpuppets (likely using computers at his university to evade his IP ban) to make the exact same edits as before without changing anything – he’s got a real sense of subtlety. when these are reverted on sight he cries sexism and homophobia or something like that
he’s somehow landed on the conclusion that this is all my fault, and so every day or so he @s me and the official wikipedia twitter saying that our end is near and his efforts are slowly wearing wikipedia down from the inside. i’ve been deleting and IP blocking his anons on sight for weeks but it just got too funny and i thought you should all know this story
