@NotShanalotte said in A Small Announcement:
@Sugar
Am I to understand you and many other users didn't read this thread?
@Peatful since you already posted out in the open, I'm singling you out too.
The two of you and everyone single other member can have your say here. The whole idea was to make this a community thread. Then with enough interaction I'd make a fresh, locked post just for the guidelines, let this continue, and so forth. then, as a community, we'd be able to work together better and as a bonus our admin would be able to decide if he wanted to make new rules or not. Win-win.
But no one interacted, so I assumed that I what I set out to do was sufficient.
@ThinPicking is also a mod, and you can see his responses here. We'll both see your posts which could be valuable input.
So @Sugar and @Peatful what is/are your concern(s)? Your posts lack substance. I can't try to see your side unless there's something to it. If it's not worth your time to write a few detailed sentences, that lies with you.
Let me also remind the two of you about some examples of recent happenings, and I would appreciate responses to them:
Do you think users should be able to post racial slurs without warning? Or that ban evasion should not be dealt with, which would render moderation in general obsolete? Or that users should be able to tell others to off themselves, which there is an explicit rule against? Or that I shouldn't warn users who are looking for posts to be angry about?
Mind you I let yesterday's situation go the whole day to give the user in question a fair shot to edit out the content. But they were belligerent and spent their last moments in my chat calling me mentally ill.
Let me repeat, *I spent the whole day wrangling a user I could have immediately banned, zero tolerance, and rather than enjoy a game expansion I've been waiting on, put that user first. A user who was nothing but rude to me from our first interaction.
Thx for your reply
In order
I believe I prioritize here
1- Truth
2- Ray’s life work and legacy
3- freedom of speech
4- adherence to Brads guidelines
None of these contraindicate the other- afaik
My concern is your approach
Not your intentions
They are clearly good
But banning
Micromanaging
Being subjective
These things concern me
Thx for being a champion for Ray
Tread lightly on the “authoritarianism”
