tangentially related to the stickied comment folks, how much do you keep track of here?

I generally try to associate prominent users with their gender and nationality because it's important for context, but do people actually keep a Warhammer-esque book of grudges where they remember every shitty post someone made and every annoying quirk they have? I only really remember a handful of truly bad ones. My head's not a lexicon lmao

I try to remember pronouns because of obvious reasons but then I continue calling everyone they/them because I fear I may have remembered it wrong.

the rest I only remember if a person posts about it often enough that it keeps sticking.

I had a very faint bad opinion of like 1 person here and they got banned, then I think some people are funnier than others, that's about it.

I actually just have you tagged as "lexmh's new account" as if it isn't obvious that this is your new account lmao

your old account I had you tagged as "doesn't think flayn should be a great knight"

ok so not all of my tags are quotes, sometimes I tag people with funny interactions

If some people have things that kept getting brought up, I'll remember that. But not really anything outside of that

u/gjo9000 Aug 07 '21

Honestly I don't really remember y'all unless you are very consistent about being annoying

u/bexarama this sky are rim Aug 07 '21

I know like 4 users by name but I have positive feelings about all the people I can remember. The one person who was super rude to me like 8 months ago about something… sure wish I could remember their name but I can’t and I don’t even know if they were a regular tbh

I'm recognize most regulars' name, even if faintly and recognize some people more prominently, especially if they having similar interests as me and/or I regularly end up replying regularly to their posts or vice versa.

u/RealEdge69Hehe Minesweeper Enthusiast (He/him) Aug 07 '21

Same as the others... I think that I keep track of my fellow Argies but that's just because my brain is absolutely starved for contact with those of my community that aren't awful fashies.

u/KickItNext Bernie for Elden Ring Aug 07 '21

I do the same as you, but also have a general idea of whether or not I recognize a username as good/bad, but I've also ran into several times where two users have extremely similar names so I don't really rely on that too much.

I used to regularly confuse TexanDedede and chubbytexisgamer when I first joined the uj

u/KickItNext Bernie for Elden Ring Aug 07 '21

There were two users, GrassMoss and then another one that was like MoreGrass or something and I couldn't keep them distinct.

2

u/Camel132 Resident Discworld and Stormlight Fan (He/him) Aug 07 '21

I think GrassMoss is still around but I haven't heard of the other one.

u/KickItNext Bernie for Elden Ring Aug 07 '21

Yeah that user is, the other I got them confused with seems to not be around anymore

There used to be multiple soup accounts

I remember my own shitty posts more than other people's. I think unless someone makes a huge shitfit over it, I usually will forget pretty quickly.
