I think people have grown accustomed to moderation that immediately lose their cool when this moderation ceases to exist. Rather trying to argue or prove their skills, they should've immediately shut[^1] them down ("this name sounds bad and to reduce spamming I'll delete those issues") and proceed to not engage further, or as it was said back in the day "don't feed the trolls". Checking the 4chan archives it seem folks there became more engaged when the author started getting angry rather for the name.
[^1]: But saying something that will allude to politically correctness ("cannot use it because sneed is slang? for special needs") or indifference ("fuck the haters") will be like throwing gas in the fire.
- legostormtroopr 5y agoSneed isn't slang for "special needs" - its a reference to a throw away joke in The Simpsons. "Sneeds Feed and Seed, formerly Chucks" - the humour in the joke is s/eed/uck/g. Its relevant in this context as the "joke" is the name is now "Sneeds Sneedacity, formerly Auds". https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sneeds-feed-and-seed https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/sneeds-feed-and-seed

- Peos 5y agothe problem is that the majority of the internet users are clueless in general and they act as a mob. one ill-minded person spewed utter lies against a project name and then the mob jumped along him to lynch the author and the maintainer. those people don't have the decency to apologize or even try to restore what they destroyed. They only become louder and louder and ofc, try to make some money on top of it.
- Anonym0u5 5y agoYou would be surprised at how little people bother to look up information nowadays, even if it's five seconds away with Google. Don't go on hearsay, or even just a glance of Google, actually investigate what you're looking for. Edit: Boy I sure do love powertripping bundles of sticks who flag anything they can't fucking use their lips to smack down. Invalid clowns.
