TL3 is effectively disabled currently because I thought there were concerns over some of the privileges.
So I can’t find that conversation anywhere and may have completely imagined it. Are there any objections to enabling TL3? The only privilege that could really be abused is the ability to rename and recategorize topics, and we can always revoke TL3 per user if somebody’s being a jerk.

It might not matter anyway. Looking a little more closely at the settings I think instead of disabling TL3 I inadvertently made it impossible to lose once gained. The reason nobody is there yet is mostly due to the 200 Topics Read requirement. I just qualified today and have been promised a promotion soon. ggoreo is close behind. Our numbers are artificially high because of a bunch of test threads that got deleted before the site went live. Nobody else can hit the mark because there are < 200 threads total on the entire site.

Time for the ban. These posts are way, way over the line.

Wikipedia gives law professor Phyllis Bernard’s definition of eliminationism as a belief that political opponents are “a cancer on the body politic that must be excised—either by separation from the public at large, through censorship or by outright extermination—in order to protect the purity of the nation”. While I do not condone outright killing of Republicans, I do support eliminationist rhetoric towards Republicans that suggests that it is okay to censor or socially isolate them for some of their views, such as racism.
That is not inherently violent, although I admit that someone could get carried away and slip into violence, but it’s not my fault if they do. Borrow their language and turn it back on them. It’s like punching a bully in the nose.

I just sent a PM to NotBruceZ and made it an official warning within the Discourse moderators options:
SUBJ: No More Violent Rhetoric
I’m not going to stand for it anymore. I am a mod here and the next time I see a post of yours with violent rhetoric, it’s going to be a 24 hour ban. We’ll escalate from there if we have to. If the community wants to demod me or ban me instead, they can do it, but as long as I’m a mod I won’t stand for it.
This is your final warning.
Feel free to discuss, feel free to start a poll to demod me or ban me if you want. I’ve had enough of this posting from NotBruceZ, and it’s a hill I’m willing to die on as a mod.

I came here to recommend this exact thing, as the recent trump thread post has annoyed me to say the least.
I’ll 2nd @anon38180840 in this action.

What makes you think I’m responding to you and not the content that was posted?
I’d like to file a grievance.
This is endorsing trolling, not violence.
The ethnic cleansing post is obviously hot garbage.
I agree that his posts are way over the line. I have had him on ignore for some time though, so cannot comment except for the posts ITT.

Ignoring him is not relevant. If somebody come in here denying the Holocaust, I would expect them to be banned, not ignored, even if they have interesting edgy takes on other things. But that’s my opinion, cuse has stated his and I’m supporting his stance and you guys should also.

I concur.
Oh, my bad. Sorry.
NotBruce’s posts are nowhere near holocaust denial in the bad posting scale imo.
