@cassette

but something isn’t really a personal attack if it’s true.

Nonsense.

[Jalfrezi]

Must we?

[econophile]

Different strokes for different folks, I guess

@6ix

If so, the term “personal attack” always meant bringing up personal shit irrelevant to the argument. This was meant for like Disney forums or whatever, so when people were disagreeing about which princess was the best they didn’t have people saying shit like "well of course you think it’s Elsa, you were born out of wedlock you ■■■■■■■■■■ ".

@Trolly

Nonsense.

Personal attack. Flagged, bagged, and sent to the FBI for questioning.

As a repeat offender, suspended @6ix two days for a personal attack: https://unstuckpolitics.com/t/about-moderation-dont-take-the-bait/8826/1512?u=commonwealth

A two-day ban for that is ridiculous, especially in the “Don’t take the bait” thread or whatever insulting subtitle is currently being used for “About Moderation”.

I’ve changed the title

I was going to make the parenthetical (no cap), but I was worried that would be flagged as bringing up old drama and/or insults

[MaxCut]

Now if you would ask CW to turn his dildo down to stun that’d be great.

[econophile]

I’ll pass that along

Not to mention it seems extremely unlikely that Riverman was offended by someone pointing out his joy at seeing crypto people in pain. Much more likely he was head nodding and touching his lower bits.

Indeed

@Riverman

To be clear, I’m absolutely spiking the football.

Like, if 6ix had said “Rivermang spiking the football at the thought of people staying poor/losing money.”, would that have collected a two-day ban?

This is a warning for a personal attack.

[cassette]

It’s not a personal attack.

[cassette]

I’m describing objective reality and the subject of my description takes it as a compliment. This website is wild.

[MaxCut]

So you’re doubling down against reason and the ban/warning are about saying "he touches his himself’ in place of “very happy and excited”. That’s one way to go about it, I guess. This isn’t grade school.

Like when I say I have a hardon for Bill Gates, it’s not literal.

While I’m in here, please edit this entry in the mod log to “Jalfrezi mistakenly banned until next week. Ban reversed.” I mean, c’mon.

Jalfrezi banned until next week for naked racism. Ban reversed.

[MaxCut]

Next, this ban is ridiculous.

audit_the_audit banned according to previous arrangement he made with the forum

@cassette

I guess commonWealth disagrees, but something isn’t really a personal attack if it’s true. Describing the world isn’t a personal attack.

The truth is forbidden when it’s about one group of posters.

Lies are encouraged when it’s about another.

[BusinessGenius]

He didn’t make an arrangement with me.

Am I not the forum?

Suspended @MaxCut 1 day for poking at/trolling about old drama for this reference to something from April 2021.

No offense, but the most charitable interpretation of this action is that the moderator is obtuse. Otherwise it veers into malicious

[Crunchyblack]

Lots of posts in the mod action thread recently!
