A Plea for Moderation

[FaithfulToadd]

I've never seen a forum that so blatantly encourages you to shit on people as much as possible while avoiding a couple slurs as the only rule so I would never moderate such a shithole and frankly I think I'm being nice calling it that

Frankly, I don't see anyone besides myself avoiding slurs, except in an attempt to be clever.

Mods: I don't blame you for what's happening here, but please be more pro/active when moderating spam, inappropriate content / trolling / rage bait behaviors, and ban evasion / sock puppets. No outsider who gives these forums even a cursory glance is going to want to stay here, at present. My village mates won't touch the forum with a 10 foot pole. It'd be nice if the forum actually fostered community instead of... whatever we have presently.

I also propose the addition of a couple of rules.

Feature rather than bug

The forum is perfect as it is.

My dear friend Smurf is the proof.

If you mean to advocate for hate speech, I strongly urge you to reconsider.

If you mean only to describe the community's viewpoint, I'd say it's a sorry state of affairs when people see making deeply offensive personal attacks and engaging in unabated vitriolic behavior as a feature.

Close your eyes and vividly imagine I called you the slur of your choice

So it would seem.

C&I ideas should be how to improve the quality of the sandbox, not your castle. If you don't understand that then you need to grow a pair and be okay with getting called a retard or else you're going to drive yourself insane.

I'm not asking for a castle; I'm asking -- to paraphrase a developer comment -- that people not be allowed to poop in the sandbox during discussions about improving its quality.

Everybody shut the fuck up and go play Mewgenics

You think the forum is the sand box in my analogy?

I have bad news for you
