I used to read it occasionally because it was exactly where all the terminally banned poo poo posters ended up and the first thing they'd do is write a huge three page essay about how poo poo SA is and how all the posters there they disagree with are *slur of the day* and the mods are deranged lunatics who eat babies and lowtax is a nice person and so on and so forth, which made it extremely funny to me because you basically got to watch their meltdown twice. Fairly sure it imploded, yeah.

So I foolishly took a shot that SAD was indeed the place to discuss the recent harassment of female IK/mods by posters.

I'd written an email to forumadmins over a week ago (ed: 13 March) about some of the awful poo poo thrown at Kit Constantine and teen witch, including some vile poo poo attacking them as women, insults about genitalia (and not just the c-word).

The abuse directed at Kit ended up with her being de-modded, and the reason I am told he gave had nothing to do with her performance as mod, but was basically "for your own good".

That's insane.

Likewise once the abuse became directed at teen witch, she clearly just quit before it got to the level Kit got at the end.

Two female volunteers literally harassed out of their jobs here by vicious abuse.

Forget about retroactive punishments - how is this prevented from recurring?

I'd originally been waiting for an email response but just gave up after a week. So after Cinci suggested it was an excellent subject to raise in SAD, I hesitated a few days more, then copied the email I sent to forumadmins email as a post.

Turns out there's been a discussion on the mod forum on the subject for some time - so when my thread got shut down (since I am a horrible person who can't possibly actually be offended by sexism), another thread was opened to discuss the issue in SAD by management. Hell, Jeff even showed up.

The SAD regulars' response to sexual harassment was 'harden the gently caress up'.

The second thread lasted about as long as mine.

So having been educated that SAD is incapable of an open discussion of the subject (how to stop female posters from being harassed), someone suggested I should have raised it in the GBS Feedback thread.

I'm frankly not overly hopeful at this point. But the way KC and TW had some majorly vile poo poo thrown at them - yeah, lots of it caught sixers but that didn't stop it, did it?

Again, learn from the past to stop repetition. I'm not asking for anyone to be banned/perma'd. And yeah, any discussion affecting GBS alone won't stop abuse in other forums.

But you can't just *ignore* that poo poo. It just tells the people doing it they're safe to *keep* doing it.

Anyhow, if this attempt flops too I'll just know at least I tried.

When it’s against a woman SAD crew likes it’s harassment. When it’s someone they don’t like it’s just a joke bro.

I suppose one problem with me raising it is I didn't have a solution. I had assumed that maybe a clear statement about the list of things that "sorry, you just can't say any more" included misogyny as well as ableism, mental health, etc. was possible.

Telling victims of abuse to just "harden the gently caress up" was *nowhere* on my list of possible outcomes.

Checking the SAD change log thread, we have:

The first is self explanatory, but how are the GBS mods interpreting the second? What sort of things are now probable/banable that weren't before?

Honestly, not much changes with the second one. tribute.wmv is 100% still allowed in my book.

Hell, I'd probably be one of the more lenient people because I'm hosed in the head and love gallows humor. That said, we as a team do try to establish a standard and I do try to keep personal taste out when determining if something is probe/ban worthy.

Speaking for myself as a GBS mod, I think misogyny should be treated the same and I'll advocate for adding it explicitly to updated GBS rules. It's one of those things that seems like it should go without saying, but I'm all too aware that's not the case.

I'm not gonna comment on the thread you made, but the teen witch thread was honestly a complete disgrace and everything wrong with SAD. It went from people posting claims she'd edited a post specifically to probe someone, to them editing the post after the fact, to then turning out to have not edited the post at all (so the claims made by posters were actually untrue in the first case), followed by a 5 page derail about how cringe and un-based her modding style was (from people who I believe weren't even subject to her modding them) followed by demands she be unmodded not because she hadn't actually done what she'd been accused of, but because people didn't like her moderation style. Honestly incredibly psychotic stuff and in the end she stepped down rather than let it go any more deranged.

This is actually more progress than two threads in SAD achieved, and I'm mildly surprised and actually grateful for positive engagement.

Given the rather regressive suggestions made elsewhere that some posters put forward based on "it's just a joke" or "harden the gently caress up" that anyone suggesting that abuse victims should "learn how to take a joke" or "harden the gently caress up" should be treated as a repetition of abuse and handled similarly? (This rule would obviously apply to not just misogyny but the other forms of abuse we collectively no longer tolerate - ableism, homophobia, anti-transgender, racism, etc.)?

SA has cultured an environment where bullying and abuse are the best and often only way to get results, I.e. get mods to kowtow to your demands. This is, of course, a self reinforcing behaviour, and really needs to be cracked down on.

What do you think the punishment for this should be? Do you think it should be more or less stringent than, I don't know, let me pick an example, telling someone that you wish they personally and specifically had been murdered in the holocaust? Or continuing to use cutesy euphemisms that diminish sexual assault even after multiple women ask you not to? Things of that nature?

Well you’d need impartial mods and IKs to do something instead of encouraging that behavior but instead we have the ones in SAD joining in.

I can't speak to anything beyond GBS, but I think having it explicitly stated in the rules at least wouldn't hurt. I could go off on a rant about it in general, like as a societal thing, but at least in GBS we can try to work against it and try to improve.
