Heck Yes! Loam! posted:I think we should all get the satisfaction of knowing who is reporting people. Hi, I reported a post in this thread that I felt was unnecessarily inflammatory, and thought that it might be helpful feedback for the moderation team, given the thread's discussion of the delineations of good faith and aggression. I felt that posting to point it out would bog the thread down more than reporting it. I also didn't particularly want to get embroiled in the larger discussion, as I agree that it seems to primarily pertain to USPol/USNews culture and posters. I'm not US user, and I don't post in that thread, so I have no further feedback beyond 'I think some posts in the thread are more aggressive than is productive'.

I'd like to reiterate that people shouldn't be discouraged from reporting things, even if once every couple years there's a thread where it may seem funny to do so on the face of it

I find that the report explanation field isn't nearly long enough to give good explanations, most of the time. And PMing a mod to expand on a report reason feels weird unless it's something really serious.

Epinephrine posted:So this might be a bit more meta than merely D&D, but, controlling for how good or bad the post being reported is, what makes a good report vs a bad report? What information in the report is useful to you? When the reported post is obviously awful the report reason doesn't matter a ton, but most of the time the posts are being reported as part of a pattern of behavior and an explanation like "this user has made 26 aggro posts about the definition of toffee vs caramel in usnews" or "hey, this person is insisting on a a factually untrue thing and evidence has been posted that they are ignoring" or similar are way more helpful than reporting six of their posts in rapid succession. Also, and this is more of a personal bias, I tend to be more dismissive of reports filed by direct major participants in an debate; I am generally of the opinion that if it's worth reporting, and observer will do so instead.

Also, mawarannahr, I saw your post and this conversation, and I'm glad you brought it up. There's a major issue with pathologizing disagreement as a product of mental issue and I would very much like to start consistently pushing people away from doing so. I brought it up when I was first modded, specifically over calling people socio/psychopaths, but there was overwhelming pushback at the time so I backed off but maybe, almost two years later, opinions have shifted and it's worth giving another shot?

The Shortest Path posted:What would even be the purpose of reporting a post in this thread lmao these sorts of threads are the only ones I ever report anyone in (aside from obviously illegal content that needs to get zapped ASAP) precisely because they're so high profile and because they tend to have mods talking a lot of talk about how they moderate and how reports should be used while also imposing arbitrary restrictions on the conversation and needing to at least make a pretense of consistency, so it's fun to both see how they conduct themselves (if, say, hypothetically a poster perceived as favored nearly immediately violates every part of the new rules they've just imposed), and to (presumably) elevate the new arbitrary rules to a place where other mods might then see that (again, purely hypothetically) a fellow mod had kramered into a thread and was aggressively threatening week-long probes

UCS Hellmaker posted:Honestly cccc needs to be looked at as a whole for what the admins want to use it for, because there's likely a ton of threads site wide here cspam games gbs that all could go there. Tossing uspol there however won't fix anything and arguably just tosses some of the issues into whoever is forced to mod that thread in cccc, and if it's an Ik feelings of mod bias or abuse would be even worse. As for not fixing things here, it'd remove the giant vortex of eyeballs that apparently prevents people from splitting discussions of the US up into more focused topics. On top of that, it'd remove a thread that twists the entire discussion of moderation in D&D, though it does fall to the mods to ensure that no thread in D&D grows into the "main US thread" that sucks up all the attention. fool of sound posted:Also, and this is more of a personal bias, I tend to be more dismissive of reports filed by direct major participants in an debate; I am generally of the opinion that if it's worth reporting, and observer will do so instead.

The Sherman poo poo sucks. Saying that you're just celebrating him as a great general and not his genocidal campaign against Native Americans is a lot like the assholes who worship Robert E. Lee. Which is pretty ironic imho. I know he's an epic meme in GIP, and something that I've joked about in the past too, but for gently caress's sake, have a little bit of awareness of how bad it looks.

It’s actually really funny to see somebody get probed for pointing out Sherman was a pos after a page of people discussing how offensive it is when people say smoothbrains or call these forums dead and gay Real big brain smart guy stuff going on here E: is it ableist to call something big brain smart guy stuff?

Nobody is saying Sherman's treatment of the Natives was not despicable. But the idea that you guys are going to go pretend gang tags are a wholly historical treatment of the people in the tag and something reflects the entirety of that person is hilarious.Fister Roboto posted:The Sherman poo poo sucks. Saying that you're just celebrating him as a great general and not his genocidal campaign against Native Americans is a lot like the assholes who worship Robert E. Lee. Which is pretty ironic imho. Ah yes, by adopting the GIP gang tag, I have accepted and endorse all of Sherman's history. This take makes absolutely no sense.

Serious feedback - codify Jeffrey’s comment in the QCS thread that conservative viewpoints aren’t allowed here into the actual rules at the top of the forum. Always seemed to be an unwritten rule, and it seems like the fairest thing for moderators and the community alike to just address openly.
