uh it's actually a reasonable thing to ask of anyone if you're claiming he's ignoring/missing key events

asking you to be specific isn't something you have to snark at

Seems like the powers that be think that hasn't been happening in an acceptable manner. If we're going to appeal to the complete authority of mods, we might as well do so for their bosses.

Rodatose posted:

I didn't say to take any claim at face value.

In order to find out the truth of a situation, you gotta investigate it. Usually the way to start this process is by taking a plaintiff's/victim's words first (which is touchy bc victims often experience hesitance in reporting, at a rate where non-claims far outnumber false accusations), and then comparing that with the accused's version of the story. it's best if some impartial third party tries to sort it out

You're already calling one side a victim when they might not be one. You should say the accuser because it's not been established if they are in fact a victim of anything other than their own perceptions. When you start off with the stance than one side is a victim it automatically demands that there are perpetrators. I don't believe this is either socially healthy or logically sound.

i figured those events would be immediately apparent to an administrator, and answering a question with another question solves nothing.

the same biased modding you yourself acknowledged but dismissed as "not being too bad"

the events are that this is about an overarching discussion about free speech that has been in GBS, QCS and here now for the better part of a week involving thousands and thousands of posts and dozens of posters in an almost nonstop debate

and the years and years of history on SA of bad moderation and the insularity that D&D has cultivated, the reputation it has earned and the discussion in this very thread giving way to that fact

I guess you stumbling in fifty pages late claiming to not understand whats going on somehow means you totally do know whats going on even if your opinions prove that you actually don't.

Serious question. If I make a serious effort thread in D&D, can I make special rules in the OP that the mods have to enforce? Because that could be fun.

:agreed:

I've been hemming and hawing about asking a mod to step in with my automation thread. I asked for no automated car discussion, but some posters can't help but get caught in that cycle. At the same time, the thread only gets like a dozen posts per day.

The combination of not knowing how a mod will respond to that (up until koala became a mod, they generally don't enforce an OP's thread specific requests), and the kinda low amount of activity, I figured it wasn't worth bothering. Maybe now it is?

first thing i'd try is to ask people to knock it off and take it to the silicon valley unicorns thread, or the rural poverty thread, or the suburbs thread, or like make a new thread because goons love to argue about robot cars

You can set out the, I guess, "parameters" you want a thread to cover, but I'd stop short of thread OPs inventing their own rules. If a thread is consistently off topic you can ask people to knock it off or ask a mod to do the same.

With a low-traffic thread I suppose you're risking killing it entirely, but from what you're saying it sounds like that would mean about the same number of on-topic posts anyway :v:

"renounce your toxx and you get out of it or double-down and raise the stakes" is putting the decision entirely in the hands of the toxxers. it's pretty simple, dude.

meanwhile the clinton toxxers still had to spend money?

like you're trying to say the trump toxxers were somehow being victimized for getting a free out for their toxx, but making the clinton toxxers donate to a charity instead of paying money to sa was somehow being super lenient

that makes zero sense
