>A collective attitude of Unwarranted Self-Importance
I don't see it. most heyuri posts aren't particularly SRS BSNS, and most people are just chatting about wut they liek. at the very most, they take pride in being heyurizens, and I see that as a good thing.
>a /jp/ style culture where the most minor infractions result in public bans, angry sageposts, and rants
the public bans last like 10 seconds and are just a reminder about the rules. some newbies wouldn't care to listen if their fellow users nagged them about the rules, so it's appropriate for one of the staff-samas to be the one to let them know instead
>Overmoderation, taking rule 8 far too seriously and punishing people for tiny oversteps (like public banning someone for using christ chan)
it's not a punishment if the ban isn't a real ban. ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌
>Random autosages (or even deletions) of threads that dont break the rules, usually of threads that arent about the same 2-3 brainmelting topics or a random porn dump (basically, you have to think and act the same as everyone else or your thread gets deleted, locked, or autosaged, leading to a very echo-chambery enviroment)
do you have examples? because most the threads I've seen autosaged or deleted didn't have much value
>General hostility from mods who feel the need to "correct" users about the proper way to breathe to fit in with heyuris very stifled and forced culture
I haven't felt that way at all, being pretty carefree myself. if you're continually troubled by the enforcement of rule 8 and such, maybe heyuri is just not your kind of place?
