badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

MODERATORS
I think Halo Digsite is a good example of why this doesn't happen. A lot of times you see prototypes/alphas/betas/etc and they're in barely playable shape, crashing often or running low framerates. Plus with how often prerelease games use placeholder licensed music, for example, or middleware, it just becomes impractical to release at all which is a shame.
Also obligatory but in 2011 Sega went looking for the Sonic 1990 Tokyo Toy Show demo and found they didn't have it. A lot of companies don't have good archiving, like for e.g. Obsidian apparently just sold its Xbox 360 devkits to a local game store with tons of New Vegas protos on the drives.
