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

I've only had stuff seized in Australia but when you think about how many thousands of people transit through each customs checkpoint daily (and how many people just bring stuff without really thinking about it at all) it would be a huge logistical challenge to track and return things. As I understand it, at the time I could have taken a receipt and paid a lot to try and get the things released but they were blatantly illegal so I was never keeping them. For the most part everything that isn't significant enough to result in fines or criminal charges just goes in a big bin off to the incinerators.
I suppose it would also be just ethically/morally/legally inconsistent for the government to ban something but also facilitate its distribution as you depart. So yea I doubt this happens in practice except at large commercial scale.
