Ban for bringing up old drama

4 Likes

But on a srs note in the srs thread, what the actual fuck are you doing with these bans? How in the fuck is maxcut making a request to edit that post a dayā€™s ban?

Leftism is when you nitpick and slippery slope your way around every aspect of government in an effort to argue that government shouldnā€™t do anything at all.

I thought youā€™d get a ā€œlittle jolt when About Moderation is near the top of your unreadsā€?

Thanks for adding that note, as requested by Max and cassette.

Wouldnā€™t it be appropriate for their bans to be rescinded now?

Iā€™ll give commonwealth a chance to chime in here. It seems possible to me that someone could make a post that has a good point and be trying to stir up old drama.

Meb just wanted permabans, CW will just ban those same people the instant they return from bans.

We spent months and hundreds, if not thousands of posts of drama arguing about it when it happened and in the months that followed. It was 19 months ago, and I made an expansion of your rule which all the active moderators agreed to support and give a chance to, which stated:

Posts that attack or insult another poster (including but not limited to name calling) or poke at/troll about/reference old drama will result in silencing, with escalating lengths for repeat offenders. This policy applies to all posts and all threads.

It was posted here as a banner, which means everyone saw it: New Moderation Policy - #3

It is obviously not a coincidence that a group of posters suddenly decided tonight was the night to re-re-re-re-litigate this drama from 19 months ago, and we donā€™t have to pretend itā€™s a coincidence. It was intended to stir up drama.

I stand by the bans related to that 100%.

Honestly this is a little unfair to the Vice Principal here, thereā€™s that moment of shaken doubt in his face after he gives the 8 weeks of detention to Bender where you can kind of tell heā€™s regretting what heā€™s become.

Do you think your bans are helping the situation or hurting the situation? Do you think being a trigger-happy stickler is going to make people respect you?

Maybe - but you very quickly lose any sympathy you have for him.

This seems like it could be interesting. Which thread did you mean to post it in?
