Bannings

Just wanna say thank you to @Meg for putting together the discord community that came together after the bannings.
And thank you for banning me from it at the end, so that I too could tell people I was banned.

@Rucket I like to think of it as, now they have the toxic hellhole they’ve always wanted and I hope they enjoy it.
(I’m annoyed af at Gany but this doesn’t really apply to her…except that she let it happen. Bless her heart.)

Apparently discord doesn’t show you the message. Meg went to all the effort to make the messages and they didn’t show.

Thank you @Meg for giving me the second ban of my life.

The new argument that this is merely the result of wanting more moderation and people are just mad that they are being moderated (because they’re super hypocrites and are now getting theirs), sure is a take.

The lengths people go to to avoid saying the words “I’m sorry” makes it feel like they’re worried saying the words is going to make them melt (like the wicked witch and the bucket of water). It shouldn’t surprise me.

@IoleRae taking personal accountability is hard sadly. It is not a skill many have skill points in. Something we are struggling with in life. But the level going on now is almost herculean effort and reality bending on a scarlet witch level.

@kalakh To err is human, to forgive is divine.
I said this earlier today, but I’m just tired of the ticky tack crap that I see inundated around various places like mush forums and the like. It won’t change, and I think people are far too caught up in how they’re perceived and being able to apologize or seek to be better isn’t looked upon favorably. Or simply believing that people are incapable of change.
Not really sure what I think about that these days. But I often see pride more often than not get in the way rational thought.
-
It IS hard, which is why it shouldn’t surprise me that folks elect to rewrite their reality instead. Such a fucking shame.
-
@BloodAngel I think one of the hardest things you do is admit that you were wrong, and take accountability in what your were wrong about.
I don’t believe there is, or should be, shame in that. And when that does happen, I don’t think people should get drug for it.

People wanted moderation to fork threads or move them to different boards, and to ban the rapists or that one guy who sprouts up every couple months and tries to set everything on fire. So technically yes, more moderation was wanted.
But it is an extremely bad faith reading that the logical conclusion is ‘ban everyone who dares to speak out’. Pretty against the spirit of the job that was asked to be done, you might say.

True.
But it often feels like an eternity for it to pass.

@Testament It does indeed. Why I stay in this community rping has helped me through some very bad spots over the years.

And, you know, I don’t think anyone disagrees that someone who is actually harassing someone in DMs doesn’t deserve moderation. The point was that someone going “what are you even talking about, okay fine, message received, bye” and then blocking the other person isn’t engaging in harassment, even if there are multiple sentences in their last message. People got mad because it was actually an abuse of authority – and, ironically, directly contrary to their newly stated goals of following the spirit of the law rather than the letter. And the comparison to Ortallus, someone who flung around verbal abuse to multiple women on the board, is so fucking insulting.
