When CSPAM keeps having unhinged assholes come out of that subforum to abuse people for having a different view than them then yes that subforum does have some responsibility in the matter.

I post in the NZ election thread in c-spam. Am I now apparently partially responsible for the actions of others that post there?

I was speaking in the sense of the general culture of the subforum and not ascribing blame to specific posters.

If anything the blame in that sense would be on the moderation team for letting a toxic environment to persist and spill out onto others.

Except that the people who are the worst offenders are all as reviled in CSPAM as they are in the rest of the forums so I'm curious what you want CSPAM to do about these poo poo-and-run trashposters.

Well for one, make the posting and discussion culture one that people don't feel they have a moral right to go around making heinous accusations. Given that this was the case here. I'd also argue that if those people are so reviled by CSPAM why arent the CSPM community moderators doing anything to stop that behavior from being normalized for that poster.

Also rushing in to dogpile people for disagreeing with said reviled poster does not seem to imply that said reviled poster is actually reviled. But posting cliques do exist so there's more leeway on that point admittedly.

Nome of this discussion is new given D&D has at least had a few instances of CPAM mentality spilling into there so if its happening elsewhere and shares the same starting point its hard for me to understand how the CSPAM subforum holds no accountability and it is crazy to say it does.

So tell me, should it be acceptable to portray every single person who posts in a certain subforum as having a mental disorder? If not, then why are you doing it right here?

E: Also in general and not pertaining to the current case about Taintrunner, it's pretty weird that "someone made an accusation about someone else that would reflect really badly on their character" is apparently being treated as reason for punishment in itself without any consideration of whether there's any merit in the accusation or not. Like, we literally had a guy who was a paid propagandist for the genocidal regime of Saudi Arabia, and people kept punished for calling him out for quite a while. IMO we shouldn't go back to repeating the mistakes of the past here.

The person who got banned was making blanket accusations of people being racists/neo-nazis so I think the argument youre trying to make here falls a wee bit flat given that context.

Well, that's the thing in my second point. I'm not saying that he was right, but the idea wasn't even entertained before punishment was called for. What if we get another Mel Mudkiper situation one day with some neo-nazi who's good at not explicitly giving the game away?

Also this is besides the point, but someone being racist or white supremacist is a lot more complicated than "is this guy a literal klansman or not". Racism isn't some inherent personal characteristic, it's a system of oppression and one could very well support white supremacy without even realizing it.

These things are better left up to people who aren't abrasive assholes, though.

If you want to debate the merits on whether supporting Joe Biden makes you a white supremacist then you're welcome to go some over to cspam.

For the record I agree that a month+ban for being an abrasive rear end is way overblown, though. Either throw him a day or if you don't think that guy can fit in at all just do a rovert and forumban him.

And more realtalk, some crank yelling at you that you're a white supremacist when you aren't on internet comedy forums isn't actually some grievous insult. Like, do you think that even a single person would look at a Taintrunner post and then conclude that this guy is the authority on the issue?

What can be actually harmful though is people being afraid to call out white supremacy when they see it, and that's what slamming someone with the max punishment you can get short of a perma could actually do.
