it is better but one time my teenage niece was telling me that some event had hired a clown for the kids and i immediately without thinking said "everyone who has ever died for their country was a clown"

which got her to stiffen up in thought for a few seconds before going, "that's a lot but i just thought it would be fun to ask for a balloon dog"

this is a recurring issue with wrt to children and mods

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:

I don't think so. I would take a much harder line at someone doxxing a goon, a former goon, or suggesting such.

bloom posted:

Uhh, maybe kids should get more protection than goons?

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:

I just saw this and I responded to the report so I'll explain my reasoning for the twelver. First, I don't consider this doxxing, which involves digging up personal information like home addresses, employers, and basically outing somebody who doesn't want to be outed. Posting a link to someone's public-facing Twitter presence and YouTube profile doesn't cut it (and the YouTube link had already been deleted before I saw the report). Secondly, I make a distinction for political actors who are attempting to use their public presence to influence and move the world in a particular direction -- and there are also legal distinctions here as well compared to, say, someone who just collects plastic anime figurines or whatever. That said, the public actor here is still a kid and the whole thing needed to stop because it's weird and sad, so I probed the goon as a warning. If they continue their behavior then they're risking a ban, but I think they got the message. If they don't get the message and I miss it, then report it please.

I've modded for about two weeks, and my basic philosophy is that unless it's clearly rulebreaking or just egregious, then I'm going to err on the side of probes -- which is what they're there for -- so the behavior stops, which is the most important thing. It is better for most people to be underpunished than for a few to be overpunished when dealing with these grey areas, and whether you give a sixer or a twelver or one day is a judgement call in the moment. Not everyone is going to be happy, but like I said, the most important thing is for bad behavior to stop when it arises.


"well, you see, technically the child was asking for it, but I agree its weird so a minor slap on the wrist will do"

weird how a former mod doxxes a literal child and the mod at the time wants to argue political distinctions about it
