Well, any examples I gave would just harkin back to Shadow's mod decisions which I disagreed with.
| JWeinCom said: For example, back to trans stuff. The mods are genuinely pro-trans (as they should be), but that's really not the whole reason we policed that so heavily. A big part of it was that we knew that once someone started talking about trans people that's what the thread was about. Anyone who wanted to talk about the actual topic would inevitably leave and it would boil down to two people arguing about trans issues. And trying to nip any conversation in the bud before it derailed a topic was simply more workable than trying to wait till it got out of hand to reign it back in. |
Yeah so in other words you never genuinely thought I wanted to derail the thread. You just already had this policy in place of accusing people of wanting to derail threads in order to keep the forums more civil. Nice.
The problem isn't that people want to say racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic things. The problem is that people in extreme left wing corners have decided that anything that doesn't tow the party line is inherently racist/sexist/transphobic/homophobic. Everything is a dog whistle and nothing can be taken literally. Anything even slightly controversial can get you banned if a couple of random mods decide to twist the rules like silly putty. And with that I'm done with this thread too. I'm just arguing with one hand tied behind my back here because I can't actually discuss mod actions. -_-
Edit: If you really want examples PM me. I'm happy to discuss in private but I'm not breaking forum rules, when I've already been given fair warning.
