Remember, CSPAM's current goals are:

1. Free Crazy Cloud, Benghazi 2, Lastgirl, Scoops, and any other political prisoners, and get a full explanation on *gestures all around*
2. Make CSPAM a top-level forum with our own mods
3. Reopen QCS, because CSPAM is getting clogged with bullshit and all we want to do is tarmp
4. Get some actual representation on the mod team and not just the absolute bare minimum
5. Goldmine last night's threads because they're the funniest the Something Awful Internet Comedy Forums have been in a long loving time

Anything that isn't related to those things is wasted energy and antipraxis

I don't really know Benghazi 2 and had this opinion at the start but the longer I've paid attention to this the more it looks like a lot of the "Benghazi 2 is aggressive" stuff comes from "Benghazi 2 is aggressive when people are lovely". A lot of her anger looks real justified now.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Yeah, I don't have an answer as to what more transparency looks like but we need to start a process to more transparency. All of this was caused by the mods hiding away and not being open to outside input. PPJ took advantage of the secrecy to be a piece of poo poo. FYAD got out of control because the mods wouldn't take outside input. QCS was shut down because of an attitude that its mods vs. posters. Bigots were able to harass a lot of people because the mods as a monolithic unit didn't listen.

No oversight or transparency is a problem and if you don't recognize it now I don't know what will convince you.

Sharkopath posted:

That's accusing a poster of being a bigot or at least nazi aligned not for supporting or showing any sympathetic tendencies towards them (bigots and nazis), but because they disagree with the popular perception of a poster in the forum and explained it in a courteous and simple manner, and then shutting them down with probation without giving them any oppurtunity to elaborate.

I'm uncomfortable with that honestlike, and it has nothing to do with a political ideology so the comparison doesn't seem very apt to the situation to me.

I definitely used to believe similarly, but it's completely at the heart here. PPJ thrived because he modded D&D to an ineffectual decourous liberalism. Everything has been due to that. Leftists who were mean in calling out bullshit were punished and tarred. This is what it's all about.

When you constantly see abrasive leftists being tone policed ending up serving the needs of the fash, you get upset at it. B2 and CC are abrasive, I know very well. Sure maybe it was a stopped clock thing. But they were right and constantly trying to be honest and decourous, and we've been pushed around and gaslit with poo poo like the Truth and Recocilliation thread. I'm sorry about that, but there's more behind it than some C-SPAM hivemind.
