Replying to Ootrek's post in the other thread:Ootrek posted:From my perspective, they were playing devil's advocate to make up for the lack of people on the other side willing to post in that thread. It might not have been approached in the right way, but I think it was step in the right direction wrt bringing more debate to that forum.

This one is my favorite unnecessary ban and/or probation. Ootrek posted:
Christ. And a week at that.

Rando posted:What did it say originally? Fernhill posted:Ralp, didn't you say somewhere in QCS that someone could create a bans/probations thread? Both the question and suggestion threads have a lot of people asking about specific things in the Leper's Colony, and it might make things easier to read if that was in a thread of its own. Ralp posted:Yeah that's fine. I'll make a new Quick Suggestions thread too but I'm phone posting til tonight or tomorrow.

I was also under the impression that Ralp wanted a separate thread for discussing/complaining about bans and probations. The Quick Suggestions and Quick Questions threads were getting clogged up since that was pretty much all that was being discussed over there for the past week.

I edited it to this (SORRY FOR THE LACK OF PAPER TRAIL ACCOUNTABILITY), he apologized in PM and said he wouldn't challenge the probation, but I pretty much walked into this one.

It does not seem very fair to probate people for "making GBS threads up the thread" or even posting in bad faith if they're making valid arguments and adding to the conversation (the debate part of D&D) instead of just handwringing like Yiggy appeared to be doing (and also forum shaming that sure seems lovely)
|
# ? Feb 17, 2014 02:40 |

Anyone who willingly posts in D&D is a retard and deserves to be probated.

Posting well thought out and contrary opinions should be encouraged in a subforum about debating and discussing.

What I'm not sure people realize is that the GOP watch 2014 thread is essentially a mock thread. You could attempt to start a legitimate dialogue on Feminism in one of the Tumblr threads, but you really shouldn't expect it to go anywhere. I'm all for people putting forth their opinions, but there are a number of D&D threads that are more about pointing and laughing than actual discourse. Yeah I know, those threads really aren't about "debating" or "discussing," but neither are many of the current events threads. The subforum is more about politics in general.

What Null Byte was doing should still be acceptable though: reminding people that people who have differing opinions do not necessarily do so because they are cartoon villains.

serious posting in the non-serious posting zone of the serious posting area is probatable.

It's also difficult to have a discussion about something people disagree on, because it's real easy for people to think you're just being an rear end in a top hat about it (because plenty of people would just be an rear end in a top hat about it), so they respond with over-the-top hostility.

So Ralp tells someone it's fine to make a thread discussing questionable mod actions, then when said poster makes the thread he edits out the title, content, and probates the poster for a week. Yes this seems reasonable.

A buncha people on twitch are playing a hacked version of pokemon, where you can type in commands like "down" or "b" and it'll push that button on the emulator, and it's like a chatroom of people trying to pokemon when everybody's pushing all the buttons at once cheez had a meltdown over it Cheez posted:Think I care? They already hosed it up beyond any help. It's okay cheez It's just internet Pokemon I know you can't hear me but it'll be okay
