Not sure if you're referring to the posts in this thread or in general, but I can see how people would be frustrated with legitimately trying to contribute to an argument, be told they're making people angry for having their opinion, and then be sent packing with a sassy gif

Look man I get ya. But I think in lots of these cases it also comes down to the history some of these posters have of derailing arguments, being hateful towards other groups, etc. Moderating doesn't happen in a vacuum, there's context behind it. Look at someone like The Insect Court. His whole gimmick is to walk into a thread and pretend he's having a reasonable convo without actually addressing anybody, and he's been probated multiple dozens of times for it.

and anyone who cares about the gifs is lame as gently caress lmbo

fyi I didnt call LA racist. I said "Racists seethe". You guys put her in that group not me.

and if you don't think there's a single racist poster out there mad, I don't know what to tell you.

but sure ramble on about how i handed out sixers to people who got reported for being jerks.

truly the worst of crimes.

oh yeah and here's an exclusive gif of me on my way to probate more people and doling out racial justice:

perhaps we should return to the days of Enforcing Effort in D&D posting, rather than adopting an insanely credulous stance that all opinions are equally admissible. saying this pains me greatly, being as i am opposed to effort in all its forms.

Of course that's not what I meant, I was just bringing out a point that could be debated or discussed. See, the whole mindset around here, and the internet as a whole, is so reactionary, so inflammatory, people jump to their own conclusions without actually looking at the question being posed. These types of questions should not be off limits, and people should not be afraid of being instantly called a racist or whatever for asking them. There should be debate. Or discussion.

I don't read D&D enough to know exactly where the problem is and there have been very few examples in this thread and I think that's causing confusion.

I did notice that in the feminism thread there is a big warning in the OP to not post unless you're familiar with gender theory etc. It seems designed to keep people from asking questions that, while maybe dumb, are kind of the point of an open discussion forum. That, to me, is counter-productive and could be curbed to help open up threads to more views (and hopefully change the mind of or educate the person asking the dumb question).

If that insularity is the type of thing you and LA want to address then I get that. I don't think that a stickied post announcing that blanket statements about groups are now allowed was an effective way to bring about that type of change.

Poor Lowtax. The last pages are so strange and confusing I have no idea what's going on and it's some weird race to see who's the most offended about something or whatever. This entire thread was a chance to change this place and all it's done is prove that the entire subforum is hosed for like 12 pages in a row.

Like I'm a lovely poster who normally doesn't care, but D&D is such as lovely place that it even impacts other forums. You start a joke thread in GBS about politics, the GBS mods don't like what's inside so they punt it off to D&D or CSPAM land where it usually dies because nobody can joke in it the same way without getting probated or the thread gassed. So the result is, no funny politics unless it's in here, and as everyone here will claim this place is good, fair, unbiased, and full of comedy laughter. I mean it's hosed up that you can't even reference D&D in some places without getting the thread locked. How is that even a thing? D&D is so lovely you can't even mention it. It's like the Voldemort of sub forums. Making fun of each other is part of what make us terrible troglodytes who identity as goons how did it get this way

real talk I don't think it's the race of the people in the gifs, its the fact that you're posting gifs at all. It makes you seem flippant and dismissive of people's concerns, and the fact that the gifs are tumblr-style clips of movies or television shows makes you seem immature

it's the forums mod equivalent of sending out a legal notice in comic sans

I think that's more a case of bad wording - the intention is to not to stop people with questions posting but to provide justification for punishment if someone comes bursting in and spraying uninformed garbage.

from what I understand "it's not my job to educate you" was created as a defense against Babby's First Gnostic Argument bullshit where people pull poo poo like "well, what IS white privilege" but in the end it just gets used as a cudgel to shut up anybody who has any questions whatsoever

Chelb posted:

News flash: a place can be unwelcoming and sometimes downright hostile to minorities without also being stormfront. Crazy, I know.

Yeah, it's called the real world. Why exactly do you think you're entitled to a place without any hostility? How exactly are you going to have a debate in a place where nobody is hostile to your ideas? That's not a debate, that's a circle jerk. The whole point of debate is to present and support your argument in order to either change other people's minds or to learn and have your mind changed. If your ideas can't stand up to a little hostility, maybe you should either present evidence, support your argument with facts, or change your mind. If you can't do any of the above, maybe you shouldn't try to debate.
