I'm still confused... is the real reason really over that satirical image that even most white people find funny? Or was there an issue with how KM modded? The only real thing I would see people having an issue with was her mass probation in the feminism thread, for all the people who wouldn't stop talking about watching smut on a bus which was a real dumb and creepy derail. Orprobating people that were asked multiple times to leave either the misogynoir / negrotown threads. I'm trying to assume good faith here and not jump to the conclusion of "she made white people feel uncomfortable", because I hadn't really seen any "opinion silencing" probations.
The people claiming it's all just because of that image are full of it. If she posted that image but I thought she was a good mod and agreed with her mod decisions, I'd let it slide. I, however, do not think her general actions in D&D reflect positively on the forum as a whole.

If you want proof that it was really all about the image, just look at how several other low-key mods were demodded at the same time. Who was complaining about their moderating style? They were so chill I'd never even heard of most of them, yet they get sent down coincidentally at the exact same time they help KM explain a joke to the comedy forum administrator.

I dunno, I think you saying stuff about if a mod should be posting a meme and obvious joke as proof of a massive bias in modding rather than her probating drive by poo poo posters(at least here I can't speak to her other probations) that are obviously just driveby trolling the thread.
If you'd like to nominate another mod, I'd be up for it. I don't want the drive-bys here either.

I probate people less than anyone else in D&D I think. Check the lepers colony. I'm pretty sure I've only probated poo poo posters, derailers, racists, sexists etc. Even people I've probated have come in this thread and to support me as a mod.

What about her mod decisions didn't sit well? If you don't want to publicly air dirty laundry, I get it, but I'm just trying to understand some thinking behind it.

Okay dude, you win, it was all about the image. I'm still mad about the image. I punched a hole in my drywall I'm so mad. I have white rage. I just tipped over a very small desk.

Uh, run that by me again please? Because it sounds like you're asking me to meet some burden of proof to convince people I'm not racist before I can say or do anything that involves race.

That's not how that post came off to me. Simply that we all have our inherent biases and that it's useful to reflect and identify them when they crop up. He didn't even say you had a bias here, just that it could be useful to legitimately ask yourself that question and decide the answer for yourself.

If you can't handle them as mods, make them IKs for negrotown, misogynoir, and feminism thread. As op of feminism thread, I really appreciated km kicking out the weird bus porn perverts.

Honestly, Koalas March. I can't contribute much to this thread but I enjoy learning and following the discussion, and I think she has done a good job moderating it in the short time she has been able.

Heh, when I called Steadfast they were shocked, let me post the email they sent me about that nut:

Karl Zimmerman

We definitely appreciate the information and will certainly be in touch with him. He has not worked here in years and I can assure you our hiring practices now are much more stringent.

Then I wanted to assure you that we have documentation and policies to control all of the activity he is mentioning and go through extensive auditing for HIPAA, SOC, and SSAE16, which include a lot on customer data security. Data security is extremely important to us and we’re always reviewing and updating our policies and procedures.
