docbeard posted:Yeah, ultimately I think it's for the best if CSPAM stop being so obsessed with what D&D is getting up to, but it would also be nice if they would stop being so obsessed with what CSPAM is getting up to, and it'd also be nice if there weren't such a difference in the way those obsessions are being treated, particularly when the behavior never leaves the forum in question. I think there's two ways to use them, and the more common one is just "this is a bad idea I want to argue against without paying $10 to do it in D&D". If the assumption is already there that C-SPAM is going to be hitting up the search function now that it works to do forums grudgematches, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't also see summations of their arguments or quotes of twitter randos with the same bad takes as an attempt to evade this rule, and that leaves me in the position of having to know what the D&D posting superstars are up to in order to not accidentally step on their toes, rather than blissfully never reading a thread in there that isn't a regional, a tangent onto maps/flags/symbols, or Kangxi's excellent effort-thread on Wang Huning's writings.

Acelerion posted:laughing at dnd posts in exchange for no poop touching seems to be a reasonable compromise but I dont know what you do about the people who really do want to post in both places. You need some kind of pressure relief valve between the two though. Trying to make everyone act like the other side doesnt exist is only going to make things worse. yeah regardless if lots of people think it's unfunny or poor form or whatever people are still going to want to do it, and D&D can decide if they want people going in there and poop-touching or having to suffer the horrific indignity of people -- god forbid -- pointing at their posts and saying "get a load of this guy". if the condition is that they have to be blind quotes, that's idiot baby poo poo but fine whatever. if you're getting too many reports tell the d&d psychopaths hate-reading this thread to shut the gently caress up or start eating probes

However at least some of AOC's fanbase is sincerely still worried about the situation at the border so she has to constantly do this dance now that she is poltically not allowed to be outraged at them anymore.

I also think there's a bit of disingenuity going in that we all know forums culture, especially when flashpoints like China get dragged into QCS, is to assume that the status quo is right unless there's a perfect point-by-point rebuttal to the supporters' own words and anything else is just trolls cherrypicking strawmen, yet here's a rule against using their own words with a basis that applies equally to paraphrased or even coincidental point-by-point.

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Okay - it is 6 am and I am here posting by myself without talking to any dnd mods first, so all I can give is my own thoughts on these things, not any sort of statement of firm policy going forward as understood by them. How are people supposed to have any kind of good faith discussion with people about trying to fix an issue, or the root cause of an issue, when their own view changes depending on who in power is handling it? If someone went into a games thread and had a different opinion on a game for every post they made, they'd get told to stop trolling and if they didn't, the mods would jump in and give em a slap. In dnd, that is defended and the mods themselves engage in it. I'm not saying a mod needs to have perfect opinions or be inscrutable to a fault - there are mods who have made bad or unfunny posts that I can still think of as good mods. But when they specifically enforce a policy of "don't have semantics arguments" and the punishments only ever fall on one side of the argument... why is the blame falling on that one side for being upset rather than the one sided nature of the conversation? If dnd really is just a debate club where decorum and effort posts are the only things allowed (so long as bigotry is thrown out) then it's failed. If dnd is a democrats fan club, it's failing at that too because clearly leftist opinions are allowed so long as they tiptoe into not making extremely whiny babies mad enough that they coordinate reports on the people that make them mad. Which, I think, is the actual root of the problem, rather than those mean old cspam posters that just want to call people rapists and genociders. If your problem is the latter? Guess what, a lot of people ITT would probably agree with you and be fine with probing or stopping that poo poo. But to get mad at people mocking dnd and then blame it on the latter type of poster is very dumb when you have buttons to make that latter type of person disappear.
