what happened to /gulag/?
>>25325Not to get into too many details, I don't think that's really meant to be public knowledge
The whole point is that it isn't seen, that it was accessible was merely an oversight
>>25326What about transparency? I'm sure you can see how it looks to us that you have a secret board we can't access where you do who knows what.
I don't see the harm in making it accessible to users but keeping it locked.
>>25327What does it look like? Mods have private rooms where they coordinate that is no secret
Gulag is a sea of spam
>>25328>What does it look like? It looks like how hidden boards similar to this always look an imageboards. Very sus.
>Mods have private rooms where they coordinate that is no secretSure, but those rooms have to be private because you discuss user IPs and so on right? Whereas gulag has always been public so the sudden 404 paired with what's happening on the site right now isn't a good look.
If it's all so innocent then why not make it visible to users?
>>25331Okay lol but you realize your answer has basically been: "there is nothing noteworthy or sinister happening on /gulag/ all totally normal and fine which is why you're
NOT allowed to see it now please look away and focus your attention elsewhere".
>>25333There is public matters, there is internal matters.
Such is the way of the world.
>>25335It was, just an administrative oversight
It's a weird issue to go looking for, that's all
>>25336I'm just trying to understand the logic behind this. The board is for "ruthless criticism" after all.
It's best for everyone that we have as few 'internal matters' as possible right? It means we can all trust eachother better and the site runs more smoothly. So if the gulag board has been operating fine as a public matter for all of its existence, what's the point in closing it off to the mods now?
If it's really as broing as you say it is people will just click on the board, see it's all innocent and click back off it.
>>25337A public space by definition is not one where "everyone trusts eachother" and we're all friends.
This is not a hard concept to grasp. Baffling.
>>25339Ok, let me rephrase that slightly. When it comes to governance on any scale it's best that the people in charge have to justify why their secret internal matters are kept secret and closed off from the masses. Even our governments have to do this to some degree when under pressure from the media.
Following this, what reasoning is there for /gulag/ to be an internal matter which you cannot risk people who aren't mods seeing?
>>25340Not as much risk but hassle (yes, not everyone here is a friend)
You don't understand the value of either information or time. I don't think we are talking on the same level here.
>>25346Haha
Do you want to carry on discussing /gulag/ or are you done? I still have some unanswered questions and more of that ruthless criticism, but if you can't handle it that's fine.
