About Moderation

6ix’s post got a two hour silencing because it was very offensive and not in line with my view of the community’s values. It didn’t get a full day because it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular. I’ve given posters a chance to edit their posts without further moderation when they use a slur as part of a post that had some redeeming value. But the entire post was the problem here, so that didn’t seem like a good option.

Btw would you care to expound on this?

If it helps, pretend like I’m not your small child and instead a reasonably intelligent adult who is your peer.

Calling something autistic as an insult is offensive and bigoted

[6ix]

The ‘and bigoted’ edit addition was essential imo, really tied the sentence together there.

Ok so the advice on what to pretend didn’t work out I guess.

Yes I know you considered it an insult, the point was asking how and why you arrived at that conclusion.

[6ix]

p.s. And I guess even more importantly, why you felt the spirit of the post didn’t deserve any respect?

Go ahead and explain how

For future reference can I get a list of threads that are not included in the Adults With Autism Support Group?

is not an insult.

[6ix]

I’m not sure that’s how it works.

[econophile]

I’m not sure exactly what you mean, but you only got silenced for 2 hours (instead of 24) for this post

Perfect string of posts by you that followed this one.

[otatop]

So your intent was to compliment everyone who cares about moderation by calling them autistic?

Nah I’ve had better but I’d give them a solid 9 out of 10.

By “I’m not sure that’s how it works” I meant you asking me questions and demanding explanations.

But also,

@otatop

everyone who cares about moderation

wat. And, what? What does “everyone who cares about moderation” mean?

[otatop]

Good talk.

[6ix]

I’m talking about talking about a fast food boycott in a fast food thread, or a poker match in the poker thread, or about moderation in the about moderation thread, or more broadly, forum politics on a politics forum.

@otatop

Good talk.

Lol are you fucking serious?

[6ix]

I like best how you all totally thought you’d be one of the few to not shock the dude on the other side of the wall in the Milgram Experiments.

[otatop]

Whoa, careful strawmanning while you’re JAQing off, things could get messy.

[6ix]

is that actual madlibs?

[6ix]

So the ‘strawman’ is that when you read about the Milgram Experiments you imagined yourself not electrocuting the guy, but the non-strawman is that you did?

Yeah I know, I don’t care about that part.
