We should probably have a blacklist or whitelist of acceptable/unacceptable sources, because once in a long while some goon will drop blackcrimestatistic.jpg and wonder why they got a ban+month.

Thorn Wishes Talon posted:No, this absolutely should not become the expectation, because it takes far more effort to refute a bad source with multiple good sources, than to post that bad source in the first place. This is such a widespread problem that there is even a name for it: Bullshit Asymmetry Principle This is an inherently unfeasible means of debate. How is one supposed to just know a source is bad, if the argument in the article makes sense to them? It's a matter of perspective and without the perspective of others, they will never know how to discern what a bad source is.

If we're going to require everyone to proofread the proof they link, you're going to run into situations where someone didn't do that, not because they did that on purpose but because their ability to critically think isn't working correctly. I'm afraid this style of enforcement will become an excuse to respond with condescending remarks, rather than as an opportunity to point out how their critical thinking skills lead them to the wrong conclusion.

Slow News Day posted:It doesn't matter if DV's paraphrasing it badly, because it is a false claim anyway. I used to moderate a political forum that saw much more traffic than SA back when the latter was at its peak, and I've seen what is possible with good, effective moderation. Its effect is actually the complete opposite of what you are claiming: well-moderated spaces encourage people to post high quality content, and discourage the opposite and punish it when it happens. Which forum was that? And can I peer review your mod activity there?

What will be the punishment for posting bad or misleading sources? And will they count towards the ramp rule?
