Did the mods ever provide an update on potential new rules/terms?

This is kind of the thing that I was complaining about in my big post.

Shadow sent all the mods some suggestions, I have no real indication that anyone has even been on to look at it.

I think people who types with rage in their fingers adds nothing but flame war in threads.

One of the reasons why I avoid topics when I'm feeling hot headed.

Calling for people to be murdered? Yeah, that's banworthy, completely agreed.

But saying a building should be destroyed, specifically a building that's being used for purposes harmful to society? Nah, I don't think that's banworthy, it's a fucking building, it doesn't have feelings.

It's worth nothing also that he didn't actually say "I am going to blow up a data centre", he just said he thinks it should happen, which isn't strictly a threat or statement of intent.

And let's be real here, captainexplosion, despite his name, isn't going to be blowing up anything, nor will anybody here. He's just venting.

I agree, that all calls to violence, murder or similar or also celebration of that are absolutely unacceptable.

Blowing up a building, while buildings don't have feelings it is not as harmless as you put it. Usually people work at these places. And just think it through, if the buildings in question would be the white house, an abortion clinic or a vaccine production plant, would you feel the same? I don't see that as harmless and governments generally treat such intended explosions as acts of terrrorism.

And about captain - he vents quite a lot and it is actually the most clear thing I think about when I think of captain. In pretty much all discussions he is very quick to fall into extremes and use such exxagerated and low-key aggressive stances. I think it is fair to at least clearly communicate to him to chill his language.

Yeah he does tend to be aggressively negative and to quickly resort to extreme statements and attacks unfortunately. 

Regarding wanting data centres destroyed, I don't think this necessarily implies harming people; speaking purely theoretically, one could mean when the building is empty.

I wouldn't agree with wanting say the Whitehouse or a clinic destroyed, but it depends, in my view, whether one is implying property damage specifically, or if the implication is that they'd kill everybody inside too. In the case of the Whitehouse or an abortion clinic, I think "and the people" is more implied because its the people inside that make these places objectionable to some rather than the building itself, whereas with a data centre its the actual infrastructure itself, not the people, that's the part deemed harmful.

What about "Elon Musk should be executed as a warning"?

Appalling.  Well, I guess if the mods don't care about this place, we shouldn't either.  I won't put anymore effort into making the place better, time to enjoy other sites.

Here.

Just a mistake from my part, he said "Warm Criminal", not "Warning".

As I've said on multiple posts, threats of violence against individuals shouldn't be tolerated. I've not changed my opinion.

Calls to violence are always bad. I am a german and german hate speech laws are much stricter than in the US. So this would not fly and a forum letting stay such statements without moderation hosted in germany might become liable as well.
