It's only harmful to call people ablist slurs, or accuse them of assaulting children, because class exists.

Imagine how many people would advocate for Full Communism Now if they were told they could say the hard r N-word because of it.

it's not about saying slurs, it's just about making it impossible for Flavius, personally, to remain a mod.

This is obfuscating the fact that if a different mod replaced Flavius, and that mod did anything at all resembling their job as defined by the admins, you'd just end up hating them just as much.

I don't use the word personally but it seems to me that all these people using it now after the mod warning just shows that flavius has lost the mandate of heaven and he needs to go. Get a new mod that people respect and see what happens.

okay so as long as it's, let's say gradenko who's probating people for calling each other the r-word, it's fine? why?

Because he’s actually contributed positively and shown he can be trusted to use his buttons in an even-handed way and not shut everything down or be retaliatory with them. He’s better, basically.

This has gone on long enough and the thread should get back on track from this argument. Luckily it’s over and I’ve clearly won.

I just want the theory thread to go back to how it used to be tbh.

If left to it's own devices the thread will produce a slur approximately every 3-4 months.

This is far better than the SA average of 1 slur a week.

It's math.

What do you think forums are? Collectivist rule? Forums are a dictatorship. Maybe more, but nothing less. It can be as cruel or as benevolent as what seems the most humorous at the time, and it is a dictatorship one can leave freely and only need to pay :10bux: to enter. And under the dictatorship of the admins, they have mods to enact their own dictatorial will upon it as they see fit within the bounds of what the Admins see acceptable (just as IKs act as agents of the Mods will within those bounds)

Bring it to the attention of the Admins (ie: speak to their manager) if Flavius seems to be acting outside of what they should be doing just as one would complain to a Mod about a badly behaving IK.

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold
jesus loving christ probe people for using retard, probate for mods are pedos if the admin team has really decided that is the best way of handling the injokes, and stop trying to be the center of the thread and/or allowing ferrinus to try. if you just probated people and never said a word in the thread none of this would have happened. but no we have to try to psycho-analyze why larry likes antagonizing you (spoilers: its funny), the morality of slurs, and whatever bullshit ferrinus has typed up because the mods and ferrinus cant take a loving hint and shut up

come on, goons, posters. we're in a mod drama cycle now. the R naught is off the charts. and we all know the only way this ends is with flavius melting down even harder than he did when he moved the old thread to fyad. there's no fighting it, so just stop. lean into it and have fun calling flavius a retard until the inevitable happens.

you're being lazy and blaming ferrinus for trying to actually examine what people have been making GBS threads up the thread about for pages

it's been embarrassing watching you try to force your way into this thread, then kill the previous version when it didn't work. you've been told repeatedly that no one wants you here – there are other people who can moderate this thread, you don't need to read it.

all the bad word posting shows is that you don't have any kind of authority, no matter how many probations you give out. it's entirely a reaction to your consistently bad decisions. you hosed up really bad stepping on the xinjiang discussion, made more competent mods clean up your mess, then went straight back to antagonising.

it's clear that you aren't capable of interacting with the community without using your buttons, and seem intent on making yourself the centre of attention. please go away.

Seeing some disturbing accusations in this thread, so let me set the record straight: it's never been conclusively proven that the mods are pedophiles. That court case was a mistrial due to the juror's death, which means in the eyes of the law we're innocent.
