Sadly, the only thing that surprises me about the article is that they didn't mention the woman who, a few years ago, got all scenes that "glamorized" smoking removed from old Hanna Barbera cartoons (unfortunately, I can't find a link to an original story anymore, since it apparently happened in 2006).

I love Kelly Stone and her articles. For the record she was the one writer in that thread that said writers need to learn to able to ignore idiocy when it occurs.

I actually really enjoyed the article. But when I saw the title on the front page I was like "holy shit, is this an article about the comment section? How did they get it through so quickly?" And then I realized I'm not very smart in the morning.

I have never seen a positive thing on Cracked about Ohio. I'd complain, but... I mean, they have a point.

Didn't they say that all the astronauts came from there?

Also, that it was to go the fuck away as far as possible, but hey, you take what you can.

Yeah, I remember when #5 (the song banning) happened; it was a station here in Edmonton that protested, and I think a sister station in another city too. It was all kinda hilarious when it happened, in an incredibly depressing sort of way, because people are stupid.

Haha! That's a good point about the astronauts.

I'm a little surprised it took someone 26 years to look up the lyrics.

How come shutting down the comment section isn't on this list? The "report abusive commenters" forum thread is basically just a bunch of frustrated snitches going and reporting everything from starting a cracked fan club (offsite) to criticizing the editors.

and its the same ones, too! There's like FIVE cracked commenters on that thread, and together they've reported over 50 people. People that used to frequent this site for years. Of course, David Wong looks at the colorful comments out of context, so he just ban hammers them (he kind of likes swinging that thing)

So.. basically, there are 5 of us that is ruining it for all of us.

No. This place is mentioned one time in Report Abuse Thread. It is when it was asked if it was OK, and Wong said it was a 'great idea.' Since then -3 days ago- it has not been mentioned.

Why are you trying to stir things up? If you like the site and want to be unbanned there, why are you raging against it? Stop.

DK you have a thread just for this, man. A lot of the strife you're getting is because it's starting to look like flooding.

They're going to deal with it in their comments however they like. One of the top comments over there is asking about it, and so far it hasn't been deleted.

But over here, you got upset about people coming into your thread and giving you a hard time. So you have to expect that if the topics from your thread spill out to other places, you're going to get a hard time. I'm trying to head that off at the pass.

No hate. Just a point of view.
