Flowers For Algeria posted:Most of the rules proposed ITT are liberal bullshit designed to encourage the discussion of ideas, on the basis that all ideas are legitimate and worth discussing in good faith. thanks but I think a D&D without any threads except one for each flavor of communism would be extremely boring

emote by several other posters would also be moved to the quarantine thread, and its author would also have to self-crit. Collective, democratic justice!

Since apparently it's an unwritten rule anyways mabye you should actually add that saying "I'm voting for Trump" is bannable ps I'm voting for Trump (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I dont know anything about mnoba but after seeing that ban reason and seeing how LK acts around the forums I'm not inclined to believe the protestations of "oh it was because of his post history" Also, if your first reaction to seeing someone post an opinion you disagree with is to insult them or go mining through their post history like a fat communist Inspector Gadget then you are one of the problems with D&D and not them. Greater punishments for going off topic in any particular thread would be a good thing. PPJ has been doing that with the Venezuela thread and it's helped quiet things down in there a bit because some of the serial threadshitters are spending more time on probation.

Unoriginal Name posted:Despite this forum being both dead and gay, this is an arguable point. More than one writer for a mass media outlet reads and posts here. I hate to break this to you, but twitter talking heads and people who shout into the void from medium articles or wordpress blogs arn't part of mass media. Absolutely no political writer of importance gives even the tiniest bit of a poo poo about D&D or even knows it exists. BENGHAZI 2 posted:Yes killin' babies to own the right

No I just think that people who want to kill perfectly viable babies because women's rights have disgusting morals.

You can think killing babies that could survive outside of the mother is wrong and not be in favor of a complete abortion ban. It isn't exactly a controversial or strange position to have. It just seems that way to you because this forum is considerably further left than most of the US population.

The last couple posts I made in this thread perfectly encapsulate why not very much actual debate and discussion happens here: all too many people automatically assume that holding a position that isn't part of forums left wing orthodoxy is posting in bad faith and then proceed to shitpost up a storm.

I like both of those rules. It draws special attention to low content shitposts (which are a perennial problem) and people who just try to bury others in  .

That seems like it would fall under the effort being met with no effort clause.

Zachack posted:It's useful to argue against people with bad ideas because sometimes they'll present new or sorta-cleverly repackaged arguments and it's good practice to be effective at countering those arguments when not on SA. It's also important to sometimes recognize that the best outcomes often come with significant drawbacks, and being able to absorb/counter attacks based on those drawbacks is really important if you don't want to be standing there like a loving chump when someone says "are you in favor of zombie Tammany Hall?!?". And before you start down the path of "everyone on the correct side would never make a bad argument or give credence to racists", it was super loving depressing watching Amergin wander into D&D, toss out some fairly lightweight conservative argument, and seeing 1/3+ of the thread line up for some quick dunks and then smash their teeth into the rim while handing Amergin the ball. Like, it was straight up pathetic that they couldn't handle the simplest arguments without simultaneously making really lovely counterarguments and flaming out. And that's because most goons (and people) tend to align with group opinions even though their understanding of the details is extremely lacking (and Twitter truly makes this so much worse). Now here's someone who is mod material. 20 years of posts with an almost empty rapsheet and an actual sense of perspective.

I'd like it if derailing a thread about some foreign topic to bloviate on and on and on about the US was made probateable.
