About Moderation (old original thread)

There is a difference between a self ban and temp ban.

I was under the impression after things cooled off around here and bans expired there would be an effort to use the RFC system.

ā€œbut when I see people, adults, people with jobs and kids and responsibilities screeching about HE CALLED ME A MEAN NAMEā€

This is a victim-blaming mischaracterization. I donā€™t know anyone who is truly fired up about being called names; we just prefer to establish and participate in a community where verbal aggression isnā€™t normalized. Seems reasonable.

I agree with a lot of your other thoughts, though.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

Would you say, for example, Iā€™m having a mental meltdown and itā€™s causing me to engage in deranged gaslighting?

Bonus question: do you consider everything you donā€™t understand, either through apathy or lack of ability, to be deranged?

I just kicked your dog. The fact that your dog is clearly, right now, unkicked, not to mention the fact that Iā€™d never kick a dog, is not trumped by me telling you, ā€œI kicked your dog.ā€

Yes, heā€™s a saint, I literally told him so in a PM last night.

But Clovis, in the same way you felt played my Sabo, I really think youā€™re being played now. Read these relatively polite and diplomatic posts and tell me how many replies you think they received:

Victor was not banned for an isolated post saying ā€œI am trolling.ā€ To talk about his ban like I havenā€™t already described in greater detail why he was actually banned is nonsense. To further your analogy, you cannot say, ā€œI am kicking your dogā€ while not kicking my dog, and then proceed to actually kick my dog and then get to pretend that you did not kick my dog precisely because you said ā€œI am kicking your dogā€ while not kicking dog but right before kicking it.

Iā€™m not going to read your post in the Captain ls thread & as I posted there less than 4 hours ago I canā€™t reply thereā€¦

After you called me a fascist Iā€™m no longer willing to reply to any of your posts except to say, please donā€™t speak to me every again.

I wonā€™t answer any posts by you that you @ at me or otherwise.

Weā€™re done here.

Please turn off the throttles. Every conversation is spilling out all over the place and itā€™s a disaster.

Was there ever a vote on the use of throttles? Does anyone actually like them?

Throttles are a lifesaver, please keep them for all poo-flinging threads.

In case anyone else is confused, Victor is asserting that while he sent multiple unsolicited PMs saying he was trolling, his ban for trolling is not valid because a post could not be pointed toā€¦ despite the PMs themselves being obvious trolling.

@MrWookie why is the new forum thread closed? There was intense fighting for days and today there was none. Just a reasonable request that the will of the poll be enacted. There is nothing in any rules stating more than the vote is required. The community choose to have the new subforum. It should obviously be opened and until it is the thread should be reopened. There was absolutely no reason to close it.

Keeed said he wanted to hold off on working on it until key players come back. Iā€™ll unlock it when an interested party wants to actually hash some things out. There was considerable sniping at one another since I posted that, so Iā€™m not sure why a little bit of peace on a holiday is proof that itā€™ll be snipe-free when left unattended.

Could you PM or ask the snipers to stop instead of locking? I wanted to respond to some of that.

To be clear, Keeed seems to be saying he doesnā€™t want any final decisions to be made until JT and microbet come back. That doesnā€™t mean he thinks no one should be working on the idea without them. They donā€™t own the idea.

Your last post in that thread was literally sniping.

Canā€™t quote from locked thread, but this is wrong. There was discussion 3 days ago about whether or not the poll even belonged in the OP but consensus was that it was fine but not binding. We are at the discussion-and-consensus-building phase of the process, not the final vote phase.

Itā€™s fine, even a best practice, to have a straw poll in the OP, and more later, so everyone can assess community sentiment. Later, there can be a final vote about what if anything goes up to the broader community for a final vote based on what is synthesized here.

Well he was about to unlock it until you posted this.

No but srsly lol, I think youā€™re supposed to start a separate thread to talk about what you want to talk about. It wasnā€™t specified but I think thatā€™s what youā€™re supposed to do.

Wichita following me around to insult me is kinda annoying. Especially when I canā€™t even respond because of the throttle. Someone should start an RFC to remove throttles.

Sniping is bad remember?

Why use an RFC when you can just angle for a whole new forum with entirely new rules when an RFC and community vote doesnā€™t go your way?
