Pick posted:

It is extremely difficult to gauge where those parameters are. The forums definitely haven't come to an answer about banal, everyday sexism and that's been a concern since I began posting in 09.
It wasn't about "is it maybe cool to stalk trans people" (duh, no). It was that it will actually be tough/divisive to lay out where all the lines are now. Like, "oval office" still gets used alllll the time.* Is it gonna be bannable to call someone a t or a troon while calling them a oval office is still okay? Or does that also become bannable, in which case a whole lot of people are going to lose their poo poo? Or does the word itself get banned but saying "women all ___" biased stuff is okay, in which case everyone's mad?

*Burt probates for it in GBS, but afaik other subforums don't

The whole thing is a QCS conversation rather than here, I'm just saying it seems to have been misread

I mean, there's nothing wrong with dealing with that stuff on a case by case basis and it's usually not hard to tell the difference between a trans goon calling themselves a troon and some nazi shitbird whining how about the troons destroyed FYAD and powercucked lowtax.

Even with words that are totally inoffensive, you can still tell when it's being used a certain way.

"I am a jew"
"SA is infested with jews"

Which post should be banned? Where is the line?

The fyad thread absolutely crossed deep into disgusting levels of bigotry but that is a good point on a wider level about more casual language that still comes up regularly on the forums. It's really not the time for it though, and honestly it's an issue that'll probably be litigated on a case-by-case basis until these forums die because nobody wants or deserves to deal with the shitstorm that'd happen.

Pick, right now you're doing an "but ALL lives matter." As in, yes, you're not technically wrong, but now is not the loving time, and to continue derailing the conversation is actually making things worse.

It's easy to know what you want. Different people however have wants in their brain and in this community some of them are mutually exclusive. The mods are deciding what's in and what's out.

Thanks for the evidence though that even perceived centrism is a bridge too far...!!

A Spoonful of Bromide was an insane person who was into the shredded moose web comic and asked if anyone was willing to do some art for their own webcomic and i had a picture of Gokus pants i had drawn but it took up the whole page so i couldn't finish goku and i posted it as an example of my artwork and they were really huffy with me so i PMed them with the title "some more of my art if you're still interested" and the body of the PM was goatse and then they hardcore melted down and said i essentially raped them by sending that to them

They are yet to reach a consensus, according to Lightning Knight, so I pretty much assume the mod forum is about as calm and relaxed as the rest of the forums are right now.

My secret biggest fear for the future of this website is birbmod burning out tbh.

That's not what people don't understand. What we don't understand is why it is taken so long to deal with a very cut and dry problem and why only the bare minimum has been done to stop these people s abhorrent behaviour.

It was an incredible thread. I think my favorite part is his dumbshit comic got mocked constantly in one of the old webcomics threads (IIRC) pre-2010 sometime and he showed up years later for a whole other meltdown.

6 hours is used as a stand in because more users have permissions to institute 6-hr probations than longer probations, bans, or permabans. That gives users with advanced permission time to see and institute higher-level punishments.
