Given that Bernietars were being given to regulars rather than being brought by themselves, I don't think it was necessarily an endorsement of the man.

when the mods here read 20 posts going “banish the trump and musk threads” and inevitably go “message received, we’ll get more IKs for those threads” (again) and then those IKs inevitably get promoted to mods (again), who then inevitably do some terrible GBS thing that gets them demodded (again) - I’d like to go on record in advance to say I told you so

or you could just banish the lovely threads in the first place. You have options

What you have to understand is that the Musk thread is a mock thread. It's like those threads about Blizzard or Star Citizen or w/e where people post 100000000 times about how much they hate the thing. People go there to call him Elong Muskrat and wish death upon him. Like here's a couple of recent posts:



And so on. You made posts which didn't attack Elon Musk, who is the new bogeyman, which means you support him. That's literally all they took from your posts. They don't care about the govt censoring social media. That's not what the thread is about.

Oooooooh, that makes so much sense.

I more or less agree with this. To me it comes back to the most fundamental rule of the SA forums:

"I wish Elon Musk would die" is not funny, informative, or interesting on any level and posts like that overall contribute to a posting environment that encourages worse posts instead of better posts. In general I think cspam improves when fewer posts are screaming at the void and more posts at least try to be funny, informative, or interesting.

I agree with everything written here. Except for maybe the premise. We’ve carved out a special exception for death posting instead of just probing people for bad posting. I think this is important as if we probed people for being unfunny then like why is my account in good standing? What would even be left of the forum? So we need exceptions for posts that go beyond just being bad.

So I agree with you, but in my eyes “post better” doesn’t feel like a valid justification for this rule.

To be clear I’m not seriously lobbying for a rule change. just pointing out that it feels inconsistent to me.

there is an explicit rule against bloodlust in cspam. as it is this is enforced very loosely, which is totally fine as long as people do not get ultra weird about it (challenge - impossible)

quote:

7. Do not say that anyone, on here or off, specific or general should kill themselves. Do not say that it would be good if anyone killed themselves. Do not say that anyone should be killed. Do not lay out methods for successful suicide, even if you direct them toward hypothetical terrible people who might be reading. These types of posts can be triggering and it's not cool.

Yes! Exactly! It has been a while since I actually read the rule and I think the triggering bit is the part that resonates with me most, so maybe that’s all the justification I need.

you can banish the trump thread but that doesn't banish trump. still relevant to politics, still a topic for discussion. there will just be a new thread. i would recommend an adjustment of mindset so that the existence of a thread you don't like does not ruin your experience of A Website
