badposting is a comm where you post badly

This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?

Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Sources say: new rule being voted on right now. Source managed to copy the text of the new rule being voted on from a screenshot before it was deleted.

Rule #X: NSFW art, photos, and video will be allowed on all communities if it's funny

Admins discussed the definition of the word funny and then the definition of NSFW. Depictions of nude clowns were considered - admins vetoed amendment which included provisions for NSFW art, etc, of people who are funny, but the NSFW content being depicted is not. Vote is still split.

Readers who are following the results of this ballot would be advised to wait until the ceremonial vape cloud rises from the basement window of the shittiest apartment building in Virginia. This sacred and beautiful ritual means that voting has concluded and updates are sure to follow.

The admins determined NSFW was defined by if your boss would fire you if they saw the media on your desktop. I'm assuming that you are your own boss in this scenario. How would you feel if you walked in on yourself drawing said porn? Would you find the situation funny in any way?

I could also see the admins determining that your customers are your boss in this scenario, which would open another line of debate - would your customers fire you if they walked by your desk as you were drawing the porn that they commissioned from you?

You may want to hire a lawyer familiar with hexbear rules and past struggle seshes to help you navigate the system.

How would you feel if you walked in on yourself drawing said porn? Would you find the situation funny in any way?

I'd probably have an existential crisis if I saw myself like that. I don't think I could handle it, I'd think my psyche had finally broke and I'd probably get myself committed.

But I don't know the rules on psych wards and porn so I don't know if that means it would be ok on hexbear or not after that.

Hm, I think we'll have to wait for that vape cloud before we can get a full ruling on this. I'll reach out to my contacts in the meantime.
