From TikTok Invasion to Application Denial: Why Looksmax.org Needs to Step Up its Intellectual Game Now

[Deleted member 6583]

Introduction:​

Alright, listen closely. We're at a crossroads. Ever since TikTok kids decided to raid this forum and dumb down the conversation, @Master has been forced to deny all new applications. While this helps in the short term, it's clear that there's an underlying problem that needs addressing: the degradation of intellectual discourse.

---

Problem Analysis:​

Administrative Measures​

Master's recent decision to deny all new applications is a clear sign that things have gotten out of hand. But let's face it, closing the doors isn't a long-term solution. We need to address the core issues here.

Youth and Uninformed Members​

The 'TikTok invasion' dragged in a younger and less informed crowd. While youth isn't necessarily a sign of ignorance, the behavior we've seen from the new wave suggests a lack of willingness to engage thoughtfully.

Intellectual Laziness​

Whether it's replying with 'DNR' or asking questions that have already been answered in the original post, the intellectual laziness is rampant. We need to halt this decline and put an end to the anti-intellectualism that's taking over.

Let me give you some examples:
1. Lack of sentience:
In this thread: https://looksmax.org/threads/propos...agement-on-looksmax-org.813764/#post-12568066, 8 people responded with some variation of 'DNR' in the span of an hour. This shows a lack of sentience on the forum. These members are unoriginal NPCs.

2. ADHD, Lack of willingness to read.
I created this thread: https://looksmax.org/threads/chat-gpt-confirms-bonesmashing.808705/. , which contains a comprehensive guide on bonesmashing. One would assume that those interested in the topic would take the time to read it. However, that's not what transpired. Multiple people asked questions that were explicitly answered in the thread itself. Had they simply read through it, there'd be no need to ask.
Here's @Tyrone06 doing this:

He inquires about something I've clearly laid out in the guide. And his response?

He says he'd rather watch TikToks. Then he has the audacity to pose yet another question that was ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THE THREAD.

So what does someone like him bring to the forum? Absolutely nothing. He's a net negative. His mere participation degrades the quality of the forum.

---

Proposed Solutions:​

1. Read or Leave: If you're not going to bother reading the material, then don't bother participating. The forum should be for those willing to engage at an intellectual level.
2. Quality Over Quantity: While @Master is already denying applications, maybe we can implement a screening process for when applications open up again. A simple quiz on forum basics could filter out those who aren't serious.
3. Harsher Moderation: Mods, let's step up the game. Low-effort posts and comments should be met with instant warnings, and repeat offenses should lead to bans.

---

Conclusion:​

If this forum is going to recover from the TikTok fiasco and the subsequent denial of applications, we need to be vigilant. Now, more than ever, we need to prioritize intellectual discourse over low-effort engagement.

good thread,wtf was your "how to fck sis****ter thread" tho?

 

[incel194012940]

usually non DNR responses to serious threads are just as nonsensical and low iq because they're made by permarotter incels, they give an ughhhhhh feeling and also mildly angry you wasted your time on thread, especially if a roast rep mogs you

dnr + react

Alright, that's it for me then. I'll be taking a hiatus from this forum. Enjoy your shallow debates! I'm sure you'll have a blast arguing about the efficacy of mewing.

You've to understand I'm not advocating for the removal of offtopic threads. Threads like "How to fuck my sister" should be allowed.

im here for entertainment not actual looksmaxxing knowledge. i already know what surgeries i need and am saving up to get them when im 18

the examples you've listed were all posted in the 'offtopic' section as well, which is the 'everything goes' section where you shouldn't expect an intellectual discussion, to mitigate this issue there should be another section separate from 'off-topic' for serious discussion about non-self improvement topics.

what they're doing isn't against the rules, for this basically the shitposting section.

the reason applications were down temporally is because they were spamming terrible threads in the looksmaxxing section, nobody cares if you post schizophrenic rants in 'off-topic'

1. While the 'DNR' example originated from the off-topic section, it's important to realize that this behavior permeates the entire forum. If you post a lengthy thread, anticipate receiving a 'DNR' reply.

2. The second example was specifically sourced from the looksmaxxing segment of the forum.

they issue warnings + remove those comments if you report them in the looksmaxing section.

issue 2 is accurate, I've seen the same, but I don't think those comments are harmful in comparison to shitposting, you can simply ignore them.

Another problem being egoistical kids/people who can’t accept their flaws and came here for attention and not to improve

TLDR

 

[PLA1092]

Won't be recovering for some time. Registrations are open again, ChinkTokcels are openly posting here, it's mainstream and gaining even more traction by the minute. Wait until the trend fizzles out and the grifters don't profit anymore from stealing our content. Normgroids have ADHD brain.

 

[Deleted member 21712]

the obvious way to get rid of tards like @Tyrone06 is to implement my censored forum suggestion of a mayo-only subforum. imagine a subforum of only high IQ users
