Indeed, there was no irony in my using that phrase. I used it 100% seriously.

Also without a shred of contempt.

Gosh I'm sure glad that a bunch of people who didn't toxx for anyone have strong opinions about toxxing

Also, a good chunk of loving around with the trump toxx thread was baloogan feeling bad and trying to let people who didn't want to stay toxxed for trump after the sexual assault stuff get out of it, but I guess we can keep blaming zdr for it like some omnipresent liberal panopticon posting robot

I toxxed in D&D before the primaries were settled and SedanChair ate a permaban as a result. He should've been able to duck the aftermath of being a giant tard by donating $10 to RAINN?

(Also you're the guy that ZDR who gave you your name change and the giant avatar)

*continues posting shittily in d&d, isn't probated, learns nothing*

Perhaps it's the job of other posters to, oh I don't know, debate and/or discuss lovely posts and opinions rather than the moderators who should be more focused on keeping the forums functioning rather than scoring points for Team Correct Opinions

one of the ways mods keep forums functioning is by giving congenitally lovely posters probations no matter how much they whine and stew and stamp their feet about it. sorry you were temporarily restrained from posting on a forum at one time or another and this made you mad, and this is someone else's problem apparently because you have to externalize your emotions like a child?

For the record, and I just find this to be a funny example of the thread topic I'm not mad about it I've forgiven and accepted the person, I ate a ban and was forced to produce more money to this website because I said Hitler hated Marxism and provided textual proof of it.

That's like getting banned for saying what year Columbus sailed the ocean blue

also just to prevent you from quoting my rap sheet at me like that's clever or original i dont care about being probated because hey, turns out, it's not an actual punishment at all, and it's not something anyone should have emotions about ever because that's stupid as hell, to be upset, about unfairly being prevented from posting on a forum

IMO probations shouldn't be given out for wrong opinions, but for things which ruin the structure of the debate and discussion space, such as stupid no content posts, spamming, posting things that have been addressed a dozen times (aka not reading the thread before posting) or dogpiling on someone and cheerleading for having an unpopular opinion

I think the task of a moderator should be to cultivate and maintain a space where free and open discussion can take place with a healthy amount of structure but without prohibitions on what opinions are allowed

It shouldn't be that hard, the whole concept of "I don't agree with you but I'll defend your right to say it" should apply, and the basic expectation of forming your head feels into sentences in a roughly recognizable argument structure

I guess I'm confused about what prompted this thread. I'm 23 pages in and still haven't seen a single example of supposedly-biased moderation, aside from a couple of 6 hour probations (if you melt down over 6 hour probations you should probably learn to Log Off).

Debate & Discussion threads fit broadly into "Debate" and "Discussion" categories, funnily enough. Each thread has its own culture, which evolves naturally and by consensus of the posters who choose to post about that topic. I don't think it's to anybody's benefit to try and apply the same moderating framework to, say, the Middle East thread, the Marriage Equality thread, the Canadian Politics thread and the "Crazy emails from your family" thread. The current feminism thread was framed explicitly as a place for higher-than-entry-level discussion. Why would anybody waste their time trying to argue the merits of feminism-as-a-concept in that thread? They're allowed to make their own "Feminism 101" or, heck, "Actually men are oppressed" thread and as long as it isn't garbage metacommentary it'll probably stay open. But for some reason they can never be bothered to make the effort.

I'm strongly in favour of D&D's current rules. They're not a list of prescribed words that you aren't allowed to say, they're a set of principles that we as moderators would like posters to bear in mind when they post.

thank's



a) Please explain to us why this was such a horrible violation of the higher-than-entry-level substantive discussion in the racism thread. I have removed the usernames so we can focus on the content and be educated as to the evolved set of principles that are D&D's current rules.

This thread has become a fantastic source for mod reports, so I'm closing it as moderating it is distracting me from treating D&D posters unfairly because of their personal political beliefs.
