DO SOMETHING
See, nearly banhammered again for a (BBC) legit quotation… not liking this trigger happy modding…
Following his confirmation as the new Chewbacca, Suotamo posted a tribute to Peter Mayhew, the British-born actor who first took on the role of the beloved “walking carpet”.

I think CW just didn’t get the reference. You’ll get an apology and warning retraction soon.

This is your warning @hokie, that’s referencing old drama to stir it up again. Jmakin was removed as an admin and left for a long time, there’s no need to drag him over the coals for that.

We can see if this works I guess, but warnings/moderation about past drama when it seems like it’s what a solid third of what we do is going to lead to way too many people getting warnings/moderation and leave a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouths. Be more aggressive in moderating shit stirring posts/trolling as they spill to other threads (ie escalating moderation for repeat offenders), but to just say we can’t talk about the past in the About area is excessive.

The site was intended, you might remember, as a community of equals, not as an elective dictatorship imposing undemocratic moderation rules that haven’t been approved by the community.
What do you believe is inaccurate?
Wasn’t aware that democracy required allowed a small minority to dictate what happens to it.
Please leave moderation to the moderators.

Point us to the vote on moderation rules.
This would be a more virtuous way to declare for Mr Walking Carpet than nullifying any votes. There were also a couple members who expressed a desire to change to abstention, but Wookie would still meet the threshold.
(81/121 = 66.9%)
eta: Sorry, bad math.
79 - 2 + 3 = 80
121 - 2 +3 = 122
80/122 = 65.6% (with vic)
80/121 = 66.1% (If you insist on nullifying vic)
Find 2 more yes or just do another vote.
The PM incident happened in what? Summer of 2021? As far as I know he left after that and came back sometime in the spring of this year in the golf thread only. So ~a year? Regardless, it’s been over a year since the incident he’s still being trolled about, he apologized and moved on. Everyone should.

It depends on the form of democracy.
Some people probably wanted consensus democracy along the lines of Occupy Wall Street, where a small minority can prevent things by wiggling their fingers their wrong way or crossing their arms.
We’ve defaulted to a system where we want more than 50% plus 1 vote to do things, avoiding the tyranny of the majority, but not the nutty requirements of the liberum veto of the Polish Sejm.

I mean sure… if we’re taking people seriously. However they also had a vote to permanently ban jmakin and they decisively lost. They don’t care about ‘democracy’ at all and taking them at their word is foolish.

I would say that some of them are serious and maybe others not so serious and some of them are serious but only some of the times and would be more serious if things were run the way they want things to run.
