That's really the key. None of it is in good faith on their end so even if you try and play their elaborate game with their dumb elaborate rules and regulations and post the "right" way it's not going to matter if they don't like your opinion. They don't actually care about the rules. It's like thinking you could primary a dem candidate as long as you really carefully read the laws and play the game. It doesn't matter, they won't let you in.

Speaking as a former IK for the D&D section, ostensibly the primary job we had was just to make sure that the arguments didn't get too out of hand.

But yeah, in reality, the mods are just there to make sure nobody upsets the lib ghouls who just want D&D to be their personal hugbox.

The posters there bray and whine and complain about how they want the rules to be enforced so that actual debate can be had, but the second Majorian or I actually applied the rules to them, they demanded our heads on a platter, because it was never about debating and discussing, it was about circlejerking themselves over how they support the Good Guys and only Republicans can be bad and punishing anyone who disagreed with or contradicted them.

It's not personal but the thing to keep in mind is that if you want to post in US domestic politics or any thread that involves US foreign policy, you have to follow the letter of the rules. Unlike most of the forums, you can't just take a cue from the regulars and post like them. Just because they are making jokes doesn't mean you can. This isn't my opinion btw, it's an official statement from one of the D&D feedback threads:

yep. whenever I read D&D I have a habit of reporting any post I sincerely believe violates the Koos Group rules (mostly low content, innuendo, Strawmanning, bad faith posting and the like) and it's actually quite a lot of posts I encounter which very clearly break the rules -- i was told this morning I reported "10 posts in 13 minutes." I cite the rules each time.

well I got a talking to by someone who is not Koos Group and I was told only things that are "very important," like doxxing and gore (i.e. sitewide rules) are reportable for me anymore, with the implication that I will be punished if I report anything that violates the specific rules that Koos Group has set.

excuse me if I don't brook low content posts! now D&D is officially a boulevard of broken rules...

e: also lol that they really hate the rules

The most pushback I ever got in D&D was when I said that individual votes for national elections don't matter at all

It seems like liberal Americans have this myth inside them that their vote will be the one to break a tie and Actually Matter and decide the election

They've convinced themselves that people are actually in control of the government in the same way that people have convinced themselves that homeless people are bad people who made bad decisions

Because if you don't believe otherwise that means we live in a horribly corrupt, race-to-the-bottom system with a moral imperative to destroy it as quickly as possible; which obviously can't be true because liberals learned in 3rd grade that the US Government is the best system that was ever created with checks and balances everywhere so no abuse of power was possible and every citizen could manifest their dreams with a ballot

he whines about the rules not being enforced all the time, itself a violation of the rules. he doesn't know how lucky he is to be in the in-group of folks who are allowed to just report and move on, as one should.

I always get the impression that liberals operate under the implicit assumption that the US has 100% voter turnout, or that people who have ever skipped a vote for any reason will never vote under any circumstances or don't deserve to vote or something

that's why the only strategy they have been able to conceptualize to get more votes for the last 40 years has been "outflank Republicans and poach their moderates". Moderate Republicans are Voters, and people who don't think it's worth it to vote because politicians pretty demonstrably will never do anything worthwhile are Bad Faith Posters, and one of those categories is worth outreach and the other isn't.

They also think the latter category is just a few malcontents on Twitter rather than, by every vote tally there has ever been, an outright majority of the country
Exactly. They don't understand that huge swathes of the population rationally don't vote because they're hopeless.


He's such a useless piece of poo poo.

Yeah, people age differently. It doesn't take much to notice Joe is hosed up, especially because he has a long history of health problems, such aneurysms going back to the 1980s. But we aren't allowed to remember things so.
