A post was merged into an existing topic: About Moderation (old original thread)
Hey, my account was anonymised (without request) minutes after an (unrequested) 10yr ban (inclusive golf thread, NBD) - no fellatio requested by any staff member
Iâd like to expand on this and possibly give some clarification to @6ix who seems generally unaware of this issue.
in the ASD community (autism spectrum disorder is considered the polite word for it) it is often a subject of great debate and angst the usage of the words âautismâ and âautisticâ because they are frequently used as offensive insulting slurs online. Lots of groups have had to straddle this awkward middle ground where they embrace the âautisticâ label, because that is what is most colloquially familiar term to people, but also reject it because of its history as a slur.
Iâll say this - even the worst n-word dropping WoW discords Iâm in ban the use of the word autistic. Itâs considered an offensive term in and of itself by a lot of people.
6ix, to give him full credit that he definitely does not deserve, probably did not realize this, and I suspect so because he didnât seem to even understand what ASD meant. Maybe others here donât. But âautismâ is definitely used as a slur across the world wide web, I am fairly certain 6ix is/was aware of this, and I consider myself a part of that community and am very active in support groups for it across the web.
To me, and Iâve discussed this privately with the mods, that was one of the most abhorrent bullying posts Iâve ever seen on this site, and for you to only receive a 2hr ban and me to receive a perma and then a retroactive 24 hr for using the word âdumb fucksâ while youâre still sitting here trolling over the autistic stuff is a bit hilarious, but I am just trying to inform here, not cause shit.

For a prospective mod to take this flippant attitude to people leaving the community is appalling.

Holy shit dude letâs roll the tape:
And youâre pretending to be serious business now? And people fall for this transparently dishonest bullshit?
I thought youâd changed and grown as a person.
I think itâs pretty obvious the Captains are bored and want some old targets to fight with.
Itâs pathetic, really.
i havenât checked the voting yet. How are you doing in it?
I meant what I said about the mods representing the majority of the forum.its important imo. Thatâs why people are voting now.
Edit. Thought youâd been nominated, my bad.

My awareness is fine, youâre just functionally illiterate for whatever reason, as you demonstrate over and over.

Itâs a good thing that group was sharp enough to see right through the blatant trolling and didnât take the bait.
Oh. Wait.

Speaking of that, the warning seems fairly straightforward
Posts that attack or insult another poster (including but not limited to name calling) will result in a one-day silencing. This policy applies to all posts and all threads.
Are you⌠calling 6ix functionally illiterate?
Would you care to expound on this?
If it helps, pretend like Iâm not your small child and instead a reasonably intelligent adult who is your peer.
What does âspeaking of [functional illiteracy]â mean? A natural reading is that you are saying 6ix is functionally illiterate, so he canât follow basic, clearly stated instructions.
If thatâs what you meant, then you should silence yourself for a day.
If you meant something else, explain.
No, I was pointing out that even a seemingly innocuous thing like calling someone functionally illiterate falls under âPosts that attack or insult another poster (including but not limited to name calling)â but I see how it could be read the way you did.
