Hmmm, let me consider this, OP.

After a great deal of reflection, and examining the various levels of nuance and meaning involved, I have come to the conclusion that I really don't give a poo poo.

i see a few trolls on there and what are otherwise people who can't possibly merit this level of attention or aggression.

He curates a list but he "doesn't care" like the guy/lady clearly has a lot of care. possibly more care than most mods, to regulate their lil' fiefdom/containment unit.

I think it's okay to care about things, but i think it's kinda lame to pretend you don't care when you obviously do. I just see the text version someone trying to stone-face smug while sweating and twitching. Nobody buys it.

Very old news. Who cares? I don't give a poo poo about TGRS and will never post there, but all of those posters are racist trolls and deserve to be banned from a tiny niche sub-forum about racial/ethnic dynamics and the black experience. Like, every single person on that list was posting the most transparent, low-effort trolls over and over again before they got banned, so why should I care about their tragic plight? Just ignore TGRS and move on with your dumb lives.

This is the best advice, i would have never made this thread but really though, if all those posters are that bad, why aren't they banned, instead of ban-on-sight? Racism isn't allowed here, unless KM's definition of that isn't lining up with the people who approve bans most of the time? It's kind of insane is all im saying. Most mods just ban and probate. I think that's how it's always worked. I can't think of anyone else who ever curated lists of people they could not or did not ban but restricted their access via decree.

Has anyone even been banned for violating that list

I don't think you understand why TGRS exists. The sub-forum was created because Negrotown and other related D&D threads were being trolled by racists for ages. Lowtax eventually decided to mod Koalas March in response to this for various reasons. KM didn't work out as D&D mod and Lowtax was just like "gently caress these idiot racists" and just made Negrotown a sub-forum to allow Koalas March and the rest of the community to police themselves. It's a tiny extremely niche sub-forum. Don't poo poo all over the floor just because you think it's "exclusionary" or some bullshit.

This ban list caused a bit of a stir when it was first put up.

The list doesn't seem like it has gotten much longer since the time it was originally posted, which is probably a good thing. On the next major update, however, it should probably get alphabetized.

The question isn't whether outrage will solve this (it won't), the question is: "Do you even want to be part of a club that acts like this?"

your timeline is right but the reasoning is wrong, that forum was created because about a half dozen posters would poo poo their pants and post gifs every time someone said something that didnt fall lock step behind their weird hotep ideology

I don't care about being excluded from a forum I never posted in and never planned on posting in, I just think it's really funny that there's a big "TROLLS GET OUT OR YOU GO ON THE LIST!" post that the mod made and stickied. I never would have seen the thread at all except for a ban in the leper's colony.

Rather than the mod just banning the lovely posters and being done with it there's a big "fuk u trolls!!" banner put up instead.

I don't see why there has been such a struggle by the mods to ban lovely low-effort racist trolls in D&D but this is where we're at right now.

I don't really care about the Negrotown threads or the people who post in them in the least. Who gives a poo poo what weird circlejerk nonsense they were posting? It's irrelevant. But I do care if a bunch of tedious, unfunny racists are repeatedly trolling their threads to point that they can't post there normally like everyone else in D&D and other sub-forum's threads can. Which is why TGRS was created. The scenario is no different than what happened with Star Citizen, really. Just throw that poo poo into its own sub-forum.

Forum drama is pretty entertaining unless it leads to a war of attrition on SA's userbase which is apparently what this is about. Probably not a good idea for a website that has already lost most of its users.

I mean you're right, just that the drama surrounding those few threads was the result of the regular posters losing their loving minds every time time someone said something that didnt line up or asked an honest question or something.

the end result was the same, regardless: quarantine.

this is legitimately a case where both sides suck rear end

the majority of that list are trolls who can't even troll TGRS in an interesting way, and TGRS is a containment zone for a lot of really unpleasant and crazy posters too toxic for D&D if such a thing was conceivable

You know what happened when things were a drama bomb here in the past? they were banned or deleted. Eve Online was illegal to talk about for a long time for drama that got really insane lmao

bottom line is i don't think i've ever seen a goon discuss race well and except as a current event i can't even begin to see a reason to actually allow it if a mod has to curate a varmint list in a vain attempt at keeping the peace in a subforum about it.
