Rule Number One: Content must be Mindcrack related.

[–]labtec901In Memoriam 17 ポイント18 ポイント

And that begs the question that we haven't quite answered yet.

Is this mindcrack content? It isn't related to the server, PlayMindcrack, youtube, other members, any games, the reddit, or any conventions.

But it was written by a Mindcracker, which depending on who you ask, makes it mindcrack related.

So it isn't too clear, and the community/moderators/mindcrackers have to decide that.

I don't even get how this is a question, really. Mindcrackers regularly talk about subjects other than Mindcrack and people discuss it in the comments (that's basically the point of the podcast or FLoB, for example) and nobody bats an eyelid. Why should it suddenly become a problem if it's done as a text post instead of in a video?

[–]tiptopsTeam Guude 4 ポイント5 ポイント

People discuss non-Mindcrack related topics in the comments of Mindcrack related posts.

[–]OscarvariumTeam PakkerBaj Z 0 ポイント1 ポイント

And those posts are only Mindcrack-related because they are content created by a Mindcracker, just like this post is.

If Doc wants to write long form personal things, he should start a blog. Videos are general interest content in the Mindcrack community. This is personal to him, and there's no reason to assume that any of us would care in the context of Mindcrack.

[–]zapolon2Team All Business 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I personally don't think that Mindcrackers should get special privileges. They are a community member like any other, and they shouldn't be allowed to break any rules that someone else can't.

[–]shinobiJPTeam Docm 10 ポイント11 ポイント

Well consider it this way. We often get posts here on how the Mindcrackers have influenced people and are considered to be their hero. This essentially is what Doc is doing, talking about his childhood hero and giving us some insight on his personal experiences. If a Mindcracker starts making blogposts on here, isn't that the same?

Maybe Doc should've talked about this in a video (he still might), but regardless, its meaningful to Doc.

Those "I was sad but then I watched Kurt" posts are pretty bad too.

[–]EonKayohTeam Old-Bdbl0-Ratt-Bling 1 ポイント2 ポイント

dude...do you realize how much of a selfish, petty dickhead you're coming off as right now? One of Doc's childhood heroes died. He came here because this is a community that he knows he belongs to and can come to for some compassion.

[–]wonderaboutwatch 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Can I write a post about how sad I am about Peaches Geldof's death? I'm a member of this community and want some compassion too.

[–]VallessirTeam ArkasUnpause 1 ポイント2 ポイント

My father recently died. Can I go make a post about that? Life sometimes sucks but if everybody in this subreddit would start making posts about the bad things happening in their lives there wouldn't be room for anything else.

[–]LyeriaTeam Undecided -1 ポイント0 ポイント

If you are a Mindcracker then yes, or if there is a sub that must be /u/Vallessir related, then yes.

[–]samuel2097 -1 ポイント0 ポイント

So you're saying that Mindcrackers should get special priveleges? Mindcrack relies on the fans to survive; we should get the respect we deserve.

[–]OscarvariumTeam PakkerBaj Z 0 ポイント1 ポイント

In what way do you feel this post is disrespectful to you?

[–]LyeriaTeam Undecided -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

They don't get special privileges, it's just that everything they do that isn't porn or their home address is inherently Mindcrack-related and breaks no rules.

It's not a double standard, it is logic based on the inherent qualities of posts made by the poster, just as everything William posts is Lyeria related and everything [your name] posts is Samuel2097 related, Mindcrack has 26 names whose every post is Mindcrack related.

[–]samuel2097 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I agree that they shouldn't get special privileges, but this post seems relevant enough. If the subreddit gets flooded with other sob stories, however, we might have a bigger problem on our hands.

[–]scttydsntknw85FLoB-athon 2014 -5 ポイント-4 ポイント

But by your logic then no FLoB, no GMOD, no F1, nothing else should go in this sub except Mindcrack videos.

[–]tiptopsTeam Guude 7 ポイント8 ポイント

There's a pretty clear difference between non-server video posts and this.

[–]LyeriaTeam Undecided 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Logically it has to be related, correct? If he read the text over a black screen on a video it would be related, so then this also has to be related.

[–]timewaster13 -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Yeah it's complicated. I'd say it's fine because it gives insight into the lives of a Mindcracker, which people seem to want, and is posted by one. If he made a video about it, then would there still be a question about it being Mindcrack related content? If not, then I don't see the problem.

[–]ImmatureIntellectTeam GenerikB 6 ポイント7 ポイント

Yeah, that was also my first thought but then I saw who was OP. I don't see the issue with Mind crackers sharing a bit extra with the community through reddit. If this was a pointless post I can understand how it wouldn't be content buy Doc is talking about his childhood hero. I don't see the big issue with allowing the mindcrackers to be human and share their feelings like the rest of us. This wasn't a long speech either. Just a short post that shares a bit with the community.

If he made a video where he played minecraft and talked about it, no one would question if it is content or not. I don't see how that changes simply because it is in text form. The dude is sharing his story with us like all YouTube people do. Sometimes a few words is all we need to say and maybe he doesn't want to dwell on the passing of his hero by talking about it in a video?

[–]IchthysTattooTeam Shree 6 ポイント7 ポイント

It's interesting to see what's on their minds. I don't mind this at all.

[–]OscarvariumTeam PakkerBaj Z 2 ポイント3 ポイント

So should he have made a video or a tweet about it, then posted a link to that instead? Would that be totally fine, despite being exactly the same thing?

[–]DravardenIn Memoriam 6 ポイント7 ポイント

so I guess kurt should spam the sub talking about nasa and space X instead of putting it in a video? since it is exactly the same thing...

[–]OscarvariumTeam PakkerBaj Z 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Or make videos about them, either way is fine.

[–]LyeriaTeam Undecided -4 ポイント-3 ポイント

Yes he should do both, giving people information about science when you talk about science a lot is never the wrong thing to do.

[–]VallessirTeam ArkasUnpause 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I agree. This has nothing to do with Mindcrack. This subreddit isn't his personal blog.

[–]LyeriaTeam Undecided -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Would it be related if he said the exact text in a video with a black background? Yes. Then it is related in all forms made by him.

[–]its_JustColinTeam EZ 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Can we not do this arguing in every post thing that always seems to happen recently?

[–]ImmatureIntellectTeam GenerikB 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Yeah, its not healthy for the community to bicker about pointless things. I'm honestly wondering who will get fed up with the toxicity of this community and stop going on reddit next. Its disappointing to see mindcrack members leave this subreddit because of the negativity. Its not like we aren't better than that.
