Operation: find the shittiest deal on beer Advocate

The answer you seek...

...and also for any neckbeards crowding the Cigar City booth at Huna Day.

I hate the name of that group with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. Even more than what they represent, the name is just so dumb and offensive to me. Couldn't anyone think of something better!?

Damnit, I'm unbanned. My noob status is showing....




Time to get to work I guess.

 

[capnmike]

I think you do the stuff in parentheses first!

(butt stuff)

 

[jeevo]

I saw someone on BA ooking to trade a KBBS for 2 x SR71. Crazy how much SR71's trade value has sky rocketed in recent times.

The #beerzaregewd hashtag on Instagram is just a bunch of insufferable penises. Which is fitting because don't they have a glass with cocks on it?

Still banned.

Moderation: Wiping the Slate Clean


Todd Founder (1,685) Colorado Aug 23, 1996 Staff Member
New In recent months we've witnessed a concerning rise in moderation complaints, so we took a step back and checked ourselves.

• Often for good reasons, BeerAdvocate has a reputation for heavy-handed moderation.
• Moderators ("mods") are dealing with a lot of new users who aren't familiar with forums and accustomed to being moderated.
  
• Our current system of anonymous alerts and lack of reference has created a lot of frustration. And as moderation relies heavily on reports from users, there's a perception of inconsistency with certain rules and actions; creating even more frustration.
• We all make mistakes, but it's how we collectively react to them that matters.

We've been discussing these core issues since, and I'm pleased to finally announce that as of yesterday we've begun to apply some solutions.

• Clean Slate. We've wiped all past warnings for all users, and lifted bans for anyone who was banned for "Trolling (off-site)." Other bans remain in place, but we're open to reviewing appeals from those who believe they were unfairly banned.
• Moderation = Customer Service. Self-explanatory, but we'll be ensuring that the mod team keeps this in mind when dealing with users.
  
• Don't Sweat the Small ****. We all have our bad days and react accordingly, but we'll do our best to loosen up moderation a bit with the small ****, ask serial reporters to do the same and reinforce that only content that blatantly breaks our terms should be reported; not content or users that you simply don't agree with.
• Less Deleting. More Explaining. Unless it breaks our terms, we'll do our best to leave posts up, but lock threads with a note if they get carried away. But if a mod does need to remove posts without issuing a warning we'll require them to provide a clear reason in the alert so the user has some indication as to why their content was removed.
• Warnings with Context. This week we're ditching the anonymous alerts. Warnings will now be sent as a Conversation from the mod and contain the offending content for reference.
  
• Beer Trading. By trying to define and enforce too many rules we've only created more problems. And while the core rules are still in play, being specific is no longer required. We're no longer concerning ourselves with vagueness (ISO: "Sours" or "Tree House"), open-offers (lists), ratios not being listed or auctions (people holding out for the best offer). It's your trade, and others can decide if they want to trade with you or not. See: Beer Trading Rules & Tips for adjustments.

We have several other solutions that we're exploring too. In the meantime, we urge everyone to revisit our Terms of Service & Code of Conduct (no changes have been made at this time) and do your best to follow them.

We'd also like to publicly thank our mod team for volunteering their time and doing the best they can with the tools and direction that we've provided them, and thank everyone in advance for your patience and understanding as we begin to take these steps in the right direction.

Fittingly enouogh, the beer is also called "A PENIS" (A Perfectly Executed Neckbeard Imperial Stout---appears on the label). I have a good friend in the group, but I agree, the name of the group is dumb.

why put a cock on it when you can put cock in it?

 

[suprafro]

I saw someone on BA looking to trade a KBBS for 2 x SR71. Crazy how much SR71's trade value has sky rocketed in recent times.

does anyone know the starting point/cause of this hype explosion? it seemed to have come out of nowhere and started suddenly. now every other post is about ISO: SR71.

I asked that exact question in the thread below. I honestly have no idea but you're right, the demand for this has exploded.

The answer is simple BeerZareGewd is manipulating the market for SR-71, trying to drive up value by creating a ton of fake ISO:FTs

 

[wethorseblanket]

did they do that on purpose?

 

[Shilt]

did they do that on purpose?

They did, indeed. And by the time CCB caught it, it was too late, and the labels had been printed.

ironically, it's the best thing about the beer

 

[wethorseblanket]

The money was for charity, so clowning the brewery that made the beer by putting a secret dick joke on the label is totally legit.

what makes you think it was a "clown" on the brewery?

and not on the whole scene.

 

[wethorseblanket]

i dunno, because it's their beer that says PENIS on it? i'm not saying they set out to clown CCB, but by sneaking that in they certainly knew they were getting away with something. i can only assume CCB didn't really give a **** though...

 

[evilc]

OH NOES THEY SAID PENIS!!!!!
