buncha other examples but point again, as ever, is that larry is someone that the mods and some clique of posters dont like and so he gets in trouble for it while others dont. you can look at my post history itt to see all the times me and larry argued, i disagree with him about most things except video games apparently. but whats so infuriating is recognizing that one person or a group of people gets targeted and punished by the mods cause of some vendettas immediately makes the people in these cliques assume you are in some kind of rival clique rather than someone who just sees how unfair and arbitrary poo poo is and how stifling it is to actual community and discussion. this is literally what caused the poo poo around KM and PPJ last year and me and others (including larry) being called nazis cause we disagreed with the wrong posting clique.


those arent examples of people just using it to describe the word or something, its people making jokes. again its no different than how larry and like 3 other people were banned for making jokes about how the mods are pedophiles and a bunch of others got nothing. you dont wanna punish people retroactively? yeah i agree. but again its consistent that people get punished for something and then in the ensuing discussion over the fairness/unfairness of it a bunch of posters do the exact same thing as the punished poster and receive no punishment.

report the posts then, if you don't report them and then they don't get actioned on then why is it the mods fault for not seeing it?

yes thank you for making my point for me again. someone is clearly reporting larrys but no one elses. or the mods selectively enforce the rules. either way its BS. personally i will never report a post because it is against my posting morals but the fail rear end morons who do report posts should report all the posts that have the words they dont want used in them and not just the peopl they have posting beefs with.

seems like he best solution would be to not post the r word if they don't want to risk a probation then. not everyone has to think the same way you do and being upset that some people get punished and others don't when you refuse to participate in the system seems a little silly to me.

i agree with you that punishment has been applied inconsistently and that, frankly, not enough of the people who immediately jumped in after larry to start using the word equivalently (or like 95% equivalently or whatever, you know, childish "i'm not touching you i'm not touching youuuu" bullshit) were similarly probated.

however, as varinn pointed out a few days ago, it's not really workable or copacetic to carry on some sort of full scale mods vs posters war in which ableists just go charging in to get probated wave after wave like lemmings diving off a cliff en masse. this isn't quite happening here because the actual clique of people furious that larry isn't allowed to Say It is very small (just also very talkative) but nevertheless the more time passes and the more conversation moves forward the more egregious and disruptive it becomes to go back and do probations for something which, not in some weird objective way but just by prevailing local standards, is not as offensive as some other transgressions might be. so of course the end result is selective enforcement inflected by pre-existing relationships certain mods have with certain posters etc. this isn't "great", but it is much better than having some sort of explicit legal code with statutes of limitations or whatever, because that'll just create clearer guidelines for hostile posters to press themselves right up against the limits of for the sake of disruptive posturing.

something which gets elided in all these weird complaints about mod grudges, unjust probations, or whatever else is that larry himself was clearly not discussing the cultural valence of "retard" or making an off-color joke or something but just throwing the word as an insult because he was mad. that's really as clear-cut as it gets and i don't see any argument for letting it fly. so when four people show up just hurling as much abuse as they can possible muster at flavius for making that initial judgment call, what they're really doing is defending the use of "retard" as a pejorative, not defending their beloved posting comrade, which is why i don't really see why one or more of them being subsequently probated represents some sort of indefensible breach of the posting code of hammurabi.

notably i think flavius has received much more open hostility and demands to leave (as opposed to reasoned discussion) re: the larry thing than he has re: the xinjiang thing, and i think this is because there is actually room to discuss and change policy the latter while the former is incredibly clear-cut

see, this is the kind of thing i'm talking about. "power tripping." is that what the mods were doing when they probated larry for calling me a retard? they were on a power trip? if they were properly humble, calm, collected, etc, they would have simply let him do it? it's actually okay that he did it?

Raskolnikov38 posted:

well in the first place he had just come off a day or two-day or something for saying it and immediately said it again. i guess part of the fault lies with me for antagonizing him about it (i was and still am upset that he said it prior) but the basic principle of escalating probations for consciously and repeatedly transgressing doesn't seem like overreach to me. maybe if everyone had more time and energy to spare larry and flavius, or larry and me, or something, could sit down to have a mediated discussion in which we resolve our mutual issues instead, but who's got the time?

separately, people were already jumping in to mourn and rage and make a big show of socially excluding flavius when the initial sixer hit and the actual duration was unknown, so it's not really convincing to pretend that the issue here is the fact of the probation being a week rather than the fact of the probation happening at all

yes, but here's the thing: the r-word thing was an antagonistic contradiction in the first place. people immediately rappelled down from the skylights the moment the probation hit, and went in guns blazing for larry's sacred right to call people retards if they happened to annoy him to a high enough degree. this isn't something the mods are going to budge on in the first place, so if there's a cadre of people who just value free speech more so than inclusive language, that's that, the battle lines are drawn immediately
