About Moderation (old original thread)

Would it be better and more transparent to hide posts rather than delete them?

@goofyballer

and did some mansplaining about not knowing what she’s talking about

Disagreeing with a woman is not necessarily mansplaining, and it didn’t seem to at all be the case in that exchange. (I don’t believe that was deleted.)

@goofyballer

but also partially for “I think you should take a time out” right above it, which has a lot of “don’t be so emotional” energy and is not a great thing to say to a woman.

Sorry, but that is ridiculous.

[anon10387340]

You shouldn’t be because your modsplaining is bullshit.

[anon10387340]

I guess we need a new poll on if it’s against the rules to disagree with a woman.

[NotBruceZ]

How hard would it be to move such posts to a French BBV thread for receipts which will be cleared out on a regular basis?

If the goal is some form of community moderation, the community needs to have access to information about behavior.

Seriously insta ban jman if he replies to jal. Instaban jal if he replies to jman.

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

Jal “had me on ignore” for 6 months and in that time directed more comments my way then any other poster. Pass.

@goofyballer

Look at all the times in the last few days posters have said “but what about , how come you’re not crusading to ban that word too? huh?? seems like you anti-c-word crusaders are full of shit!” when that poster transparently does not give a shit about the use of other words that no one has ever complained about. That is bad faith posting! I have not seen anyone moderated for those kinds of posts, though, even though they 100% come from people that I expect you would think we are biased against.

I missed this. Somebody was banned for this just the other day! (Yes, and one of the posters that some of the mods are biased against.) It was another log on this bonfire.

Jal will be posting in here within seconds of returning from his current temp ban. The over/under on number of posts itt tomorrow is 250.

[NotBruceZ]

I’m fine with that if mods want to put in the extra work.

[anon10387340]

@goofyballer

Who? Fidget? I didn’t really put that post in that category (was thinking more about the vastly larger number of posts concern trolling about “but but you c-word crusaders are disingenuous because you haven’t also started a poll to ban sp***”, which are universally met with a response of “if you actually feel offended by that word we would happily consider not using it anymore”, followed by the concern trolling poster ignoring that only to repeat the same disingenuous argument 6 hours later). If it’s someone else I legitimately don’t know who or what you’re talking about.

Yes, it was Fidget. His post was followed by “Fidget is temp banned for bad faith posting” by Sky. And when several people (not me) said that they were actually offended by “AIDsing”, they were all dismissed as concern trolls. (Maybe not in those exact words.)

I guess some moderators here have a super power and can tell when women are offended, (even when the women who have spoken up have said they’re not offended), and when other posters are not offended (even though they say they are). Shockingly, these soul reads align with words they themselves are and are not offended by.

Does anyone actually say aidsing? I feel like in my travels here I haven’t run across it. I’m almost certain if anyone were to use that expression outside the pedanticness (pedancy? pedantichood?) of this thread they’d be 100% trolling.

[LikeClockwork]

I’ve never heard anyone say AIDSing or any variant other than 22 or here.

[anon10387340]

@goofyballer

I mean some moderators who are women can say they are offended by a post they think is sexist towards them and then be told by multiple men that they’re wrong.

No, the mod didn’t tell me you told me. And you didn’t tell me that those were the words expressed to you by Sky before I made my response. I read your post as it being your read on it, and likely would have chosen different words to respond had I known otherwise. (I still would have disagreed that Fidget intended it in that way, and I would have disagreed with any moderating resulting from it.)

Sky can clearly feel that way even if it wasn’t intended that way by Fidget. Both those things can be true.

Were the posts Marksman etc banned for deleted? There’s no point in the log if the posts in questions aren’t linked.

@anon10387340

And when several people (not me) said that they were actually offended by “AIDsing”,

I believe one of my responses was that if people were offended by Aidsing we should stop using it, and i had no problem doing so. But again, every time i’ve thrown that out, the group has found a new word to harp on. It’s a false equivalency.

@anon31529671

Please - you tell children throwing tantrums to take a time out.
To portray that as even remotely sexist is quite simply wrong.

The fact that you immediately equated a woman having a problem with a post to a child throwing a tantrum makes the opposite point you think it does about sexism.

[j8i3h289dn3x7]

Sexism and misogyny can often be unintentional. That doesn’t make it any less so.

[anon10387340]

Have you read any of the posts over the past couple of days that we’re discussing?

[Yuv]

it shows one result per thread for reasons i do not understand.
