Yeah mods need to ease up a bit on the thread gassing and the arbitrary and subjective enforcement of no-no words.

Like all the probs and bans for racism and rape talk and straight up horrible poo poo has been great but they see how successful that's been and it emboldens them to go a little too gung-ho and start going after poo poo that 90% of people couldn't care less about.

While I don't mind short probations for "bad words", imo, saying human being shouldn't be 1 day when a death threat is just 6h. If i was a mod, death threats would be from a month to perma. And posters who have clearly shown that they're here only for making these forums a worse place, like Lung Brothers, gagelion and Effectronica would be permaed immediately.

If you're calling a dude a human being because he's acting like a big lame dumby it's good. If you're calling a homosexual a human being because you hate homosexuals you can get banned.
It's usually incredibly loving easy to tell the difference..

The thing is we need to be able to use that language for the sake of calling out bad posters, when you call a dude a bad poster they'll launch into a diatribe about how they're not a bad poster and you get a huge lovely derail that makes them feel justified because of it because everyone feels like they're forced to respond in kind. If you call them a human being and they start writing paragraphs about how they aren't a human being and are actually insanely good and cool they just end up looking like a bigger human being and it's funny and marks them as socially maladjusted.

Even the fact that we can use these word in GBS stops a lot of the worst posters from coming here to start with and that's good. In my experence posting in old abe GBS and new GBS for the last 4 years is that the people who make a big deal out of people using the no-no words are universally terrible- They don't make jokes, they don't make content, and they don't post anything interesting.
Those types are the ones that only seem to be on the site to share opinions for the sake of self-validation and talk about nothing else.

They're the type of poster that ruined the first iteration of GBS and for the love of god you shouldn't let them move back in here.
Like even this loving post right here, i'm forced to explain why these things should be okay by making a big lovely post, this isn't fun for me to type, it's not fun to read, no one wants this.

my comments on this are all spurred on by this poo poo I found through the leper colony last night:

some massive loving wiener posted:

It's a slur that denigrates women, just like "kike" denigrates Jewish people or "friend of the family" denigrates blacks. When you use a word like that, you're reducing someone to a single characteristic that signals that they have little or no worth, based on their gender, religion, or skin color. This isn't something new that came about from Tumblr in the last year.

I mean, I get that in much of the English-speaking world, it's a catch-all term on the level of calling someone an rear end in a top hat. At the same time, it's an ugly word with a nasty history and it's pretty offensive when it's used as a slur. If you're going to use it on an American-based message board, and it's been explained why it's offensive/taboo, and you have the power of the Internet to explore the history and loaded meaning of the word, go nuts, but understand why people bristle at your use of that word.

this sack of poo poo reported the word oval office and someone ended up getting a day probation as a result.
then nooner used the word human being as part of a joke commenting on how ridiculous it was and he got a day too.

why they gently caress is this type of person influencing whats okay to post in GBS?

mods dont read things, they just act on instinct. however the exeption is something, mr. genesplicer seems to actually digest the meaning of a post and the context of the thread and it seems to be good. so i guess genesplicer for admin.

every time i can remember being called a oval office was due to mightily pissing off some guy so i consider it a smug and somewhat hairy trophy

^ Most of the women my own age I hang out with use the word all the time, honestly the only people i've known to get offended by oval office have been babyboomers and poo poo. E: looking at this it sorta seems like i'm implying i'm a lady, i'm not


Good video

Digital Fingers posted:

I don't need some human being trying and regulate my word usage; Especially if the oval office has no stake in the dick sucking game and thinks they're doing gays a favor by reinforcing the use of human being as a word that can only mean "gay person", yeah know?
