no, they think they aren’t moderation worthy and can just be ignored. It saddens me that people in a left-leaning forum thinks Tankie is a fine insult and it is encouraged by a majority of the forum while very few people have been encouraging “short btc pussy”.
But yeah, we have not come very far. Especially in your inability to have sincere conversation with me that isn’t full of failed dunk attempts about stuff I’ve never said.
you seem to agree that wookie “mansplained” something to me is a legitimate part of any timeline.
when that went down, the mods didn’t even communicate in the staff forum. None of us actually talked to each other.
I have silenced Jalfrezi for a day based on his recent posts in this thread, specifically those directed at skydiver
What are you talking about? I am looking at your posts in this thread in the past day as evidence.
Do you think flags for race-based slurs are silly?
Do you think that flags for LGBT-based slurs (often conflated with gendered slurs, tbh) are silly?
Do you think flags for calling someone a tankie are silly?
Yes. I think instead of flagging posts for moderation a decent human can type “hey 6ix, i enjoy your content filled post but i’d rather you not use the word pussy as an insult”.
But you know, this is just me. The use of Tankie has continued here for months even though it was brought up multiple times in the forum. But like, i didn’t even make that comparison. Ikes did.
Also as I mentioned, some people have flagged hundreds of posts. I personally think the forum would be better if people flagged less. If you want to consider that a negative testament to the state of left-leaning forums in this country, that’s on you.
No, describing it that way is specifically what I meant by,
as opposed to just the simple order of events.
that’s wild too cuz it’s such good Official Financial Advice
Maybe this is a language barrier thing here, but nothing she’s said here seems remotely insincere. I obviously can’t read minds but her being bothered by dudes calling each other fucking pussies seems at least as reasonable as you being upset and the word “tankie” getting tossed around.
Whether these insults warrant moderation is obv something people can have good-faith disagreements about.
paging @SweetSummerChild
Do you honestly think that Jalfrezi would stop personally insulting me if I asked him nicely?
SPOILER:I have. repeatedly. It’s worked out so well.
which is why you never crossed my mind when i mentioned overflagging. this entire conversation feels like you think i have anything against you or in favor of jal’s posts at you.
i repeatedly mentioned it to no avail. but jal on going feud with a lot of the people in the forum doesn’t mean every other discussion should be solved by moderation.
The juxtaposition is inescapable.
I doubt it’s a language barrier cause my english is probably better than most of yours. I can go on about the use of “language barrier” and ESL in conversation with foreigners but i’ll keep it for another time.
I at no point said she is not allowed to be offended by the use of the word pussy or that it is unreasonable. So yeah, I find @skydiver8 posting here extremely insincere and very disappointing as I never treated her with anything but respect, including in this conversation. And as I mentioned, I received much harsher insults than she ever did because I disagreed with the notion that american soldiers are to be blamed for american foreign actions.
He’s gotta be trollling right, like, the same dude that just didn’t comprehend the 2 of 3 content-full words in the phrase “short BTC pussy”? And is now saying people don’t comprehend simple English? Wild shit.
I will say that a year later this forum still delivers even harder.
Yuv properly chastised me over this btw.
That is not it at all. There’s nothing personal here (well, not with you, anyway)
I was responding as the representative of a demo (probably the smallest minority here, actually) that I felt was being wronged by the initial post where you said you thought flags for gender-based slurs were silly. Now that you have clarified that you think all flags for slurs are silly, I understand that you weren’t condoning one type of slur over other types.
As for the Jal stuff…obviously I’m quite used to it by now and really only respond to him to get the truth on record. I tried to be civil, and you saw how that worked, so i resorted to flags.
I think flags are silly when a simple conversation could have worked if people were sincere about it is the way to go.
Also there are many flags that are seriously titled like “this is technically against the new rule” or similar stuff. Simply to try and get their enemy moderated.
This isn’t about slurs. It’s about going to moderation instead of talking to each other or ignoring things you dislike that are within reason. this is why you vs jal never crossed my mind as it’s obviously not similar to the majority of flags.
Meb was correct, but not correct enough. There’s about 10 people that need to be permabanned immediately.
It’s almost 2023, how is jalfrezi still allowed to post here
this isn’t helpful.
the only language barrier is that of the inability of written forum text to properly convey meaning or emotion.
Nothing I’ve posted has been insincere. I haven’t insulted you. Before you posted that you think all flags for slurs of any type are silly, of course I zeroed in on the implication in your first post of this brouhaha that some flags are silly and some aren’t. That’s the way I read it, and I responded to the implication that you seemed to think gendered slurs specifically were OK. I wasn’t the only one who thought that, btw.
I don’t understand how my gentle pushback against perceived sexism could be considered insincere here.
