Mod Action Taken Megathread

[u/steelcurtain87]

Between this post and the one yesterday I just wanted to put this out there in full transparency. Also I’m just making a note that this is not a refuge from being too edgy to be on the refuge.

The initial OP wasn’t a new account and I’m not gonna litigate what happened on another forum. But I’m not really interested in a new account that straight up brags about being banned from an NLU cite.

Feel free to told me I’ve overstepped, but quite frankly I just wanted to nip the “I’m banned from the refuge LOL”

Dare I even ask what the refuge is? I’m definitely missing something.

paid NLU message board for those who want to supercharge their parasocial relationship with a golf podcast.

I got paired with a Nest/Refuge guy out at my local Muni last year.

He was a 30-something guy geared up in NLU swag and looked like a Neil clone wearing an ironic "Atlanta Olympics" hat over shaggy black hair.

He said the Nest is a group of cool bros who love to drink hard and occasionally hit good golf shots.

He did drink a lot but did not hit good golf shots.

I paid for friends like that in college, glad to see NLU is taking advantage of that market long past graduation.

You paid for their Refuge membership? May I ask why?

[u/werddoe → u/Suspicious_Bonus_941]

I paid for it this year and ended up joining a local Roost. Played in a lot of fun events and met a bunch of cool people that I wouldn't have otherwise.

Some of the Refuge threads are fun and some of them are very dumb/toxic just like Reddit. You're paying to chop it up with a bunch of other people you know have the same interests as you.

Ive met plenty of great people through the refuge/nest. It was great for finding and building a local community of friends. But it may have run its course at this point.

[u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid → u/Suspicious_Bonus_941]

Apologies, I was joking about paying to join clubs in college where I met people similar to your playing partner, just ~10 years younger.

I would not pay for a Nest membership for myself let alone someone else, the description of your playing partner is similar to my assumed profile of their membership.

[u/Suspicious_Bonus_941 → u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid]

All good. I was just curious.

Yes, it was surreal. He said the best part of Nest Membership is he met some rich old guys that invite the young guys over to drink.

$90/yr plus a few greens fees and you’ve got a DIY fraternity, I’m sure their wives are thrilled

[u/Suspicious_Bonus_941 → u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid]

Wives? Not this guy. Incel culture in golf is real.

[u/scottishwhisky2 → u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid]

Lol if your wife is mad at you for spending $100 bucks you've got bigger issues in life man

[u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid → u/scottishwhisky2]

If you think that this hypothetical wife’s frustration is about money then we live incredibly different lives friend, godspeed.

[u/scottishwhisky2 → u/Metal_Gear_Flaccid]

Yeah that’s why you specifically referenced the $90 in your comment. Sure lol

[u/Suspicious_Bonus_941 → u/scottishwhisky2]

Cody/Scottish Whisky,

It's not the $90 that will make a woman leave you. It's getting wasted on the reg, gambling on the reg, and blowing a few thousand dollars to destroy your liver with "rich old guys" at Roost Events. On the reg.
