FactsAreUseless posted:The consequences for being made fun of on Something Awful are very minor. Lots of us have done and said ridiculous poo poo, and people are going to make fun of that. If being mocked on SA is the worst thing happening to you, you don't have real problems. And if you do have real problems, getting made fun of doesn't exacerbate them. This isn't Twitter or Twitch or Facebook, people don't have your real name and they aren't going to track you down and swat you. Just laugh at yourself. When you can't laugh at yourself it starts making you crazy. during the furry thing, when i wouldn't concede the point that ageplay is pedopelia, an incensed group of babyfurs printed out diaper porn on a lazer jet printer then mailed it to my dad's office.

The problem for me here is that CSPAM isn't D&D--it is generally a place where people openly flame and make fun of other posters for thinking or posting stupid things. If someone were to go into the CSPAM covid thread talking about how everyone worrying about it was overreacting they would (rightly) get mocked and dogpiled. This seems like weirdly selective enforcement of rules based on who 'normally posts there.' Like, oh that guy, you can't make fun of him becasue he has lots of posts in the succ thread, and you DEFINITELY can't make fun of him if you have less than X posts in the subforum. It seems to me like the policy of punishing non-regulars more harshly just creates more forums insularity and discourages new posters/lurkers. I totally get posters going to bat for their friends but it sucks to see mods do it under the pretext of enforcing the forum rules.

Telsa Cola posted:It kinda seems odd to me as a somewhat C-Spam outsider that there has been very little actual defense of the bans themselves, and more defense of "Well, they deserved punishment of somekind". Really it's just a weird application, the behavior has been tacitly not heavily punished. Might as well just give em a week, say, in thread, 'I'm tired of the poo poo, goons have run this poo poo into the ground, idgaf next person is banned, smarxist is my friend' etc etc and then just blown whoever away didn't listen. Mods don't understand how to be arbitrary right lol

If this is the new standard, I assume referencing Gro**ha*s or Car* (censored to protect poster identity) is now bannable, too? Or is it just smarxist? Its the same issue that's come up earlier - whats the actual forum rule on helldumping? Or is it poster beware?

Do we need admins that are so utterly unconcerned with precedent and consistency that they'll approve any ban they're browbeaten into?

Basically my interpretation is that it's fine to make fun of anyone, except for mods, personal friends of mods, and Lowtax the wife-beater up until he beat one wife too many and we collectively decided it would be inconvenient to continue pretending to love him as much as we had previously.

docbeard posted:I think there's room for a conversation about when and how bans or other moderation actions are justified, certainly. No one is arguing that anyone should be immune from moderation. No one said anything yesterday when crusty buttsack or whatever handed out probes. Hell, I wouldn’t have said anything today if the cspam mods went and chain probed bloom for making fun of their friend. They tried to do that a few days ago to some fyad folks and no one made a fuss. Specifically making it a ban and specifically trying to make it seem like a real offense (as opposed to being mean to their buddy) is what caused all this. So don’t argue something else.

Look I'm going to say this as someone who has never posted in FYAD. These bans are clearly because of preconceived biases and in defense of one of the most cringe people that loving post on these forums. The admins should grow a loving spine and reject these bullshit ban reasons or just admit they don't really care without typing a paragraph of bullshit in an attempt to obscure that they don't care. It took at least a couple of days for the bans to hit right? Just tell the mod being persistent for the bans to gently caress off. Jesus Christ.

Let one of the majority Admins do it if they feel so strongly. As an Admin you should feel free to tell a Mod the punishment is too harsh, and adjust accordingly if you need to push the button, or even just if you're the most likely to face the backlash here.

Admins in general need to stop letting "mod consensus" or whatever push them around. There were times I should have pushed back against things I disagreed with, and I failed to do so because I'm a chump with poor social skills and no management experience. I regretted it every time, unsurprisingly. I should have just read a book on personnel management or whatever, and I hope the current admins will do so. If you think a decision is bad, say so. Even if everyone else in the mod forum agrees with it. At worst, you'll get an angry PM or something, and who cares about that? Learn from my mistakes, people.
