About nine months ago this lifeboat came into existence following massive purges by Reddit admins against non-establishment conforming materials. Those purges never ended, which is why this particular forum has become the overall bastion for KIA2/GG materials.
On the creation of this site we were presented a set of 16 rules which we, the users, were questioned about. Overwhelming we found that the rules were overbearing and redundant.
Many of these rules are redundant, unnecessary, or bad.
The most obvious of which is that there are THREE rules covering NSFW/pornographic material. It was pointed out by myself as well as numerous other users that these were redundant and pointless, and the assumption was that these would be changed as the rules were simply temporary.
It's nine months on.
Those are only the most egregiously obvious.
The reason I make this post today is that our rules are so open-ended and confusing that even our illustrious mods have no idea WTF they mean.
I was personally banned for a day for a rule 15 violation after which u/DomitiusOfMassilia/ admitted he misunderstood what the rule meant. Immediately after I watched him make the same mistake with another. Now, a week after, I notice that the majority of action is taken under rules 2, 15, and 16. Almost all content removals are based on slurs/bad language/insults.
This post is largely upvoted while Dom's statement of removal is largely downvoted. That's just one example. This is becoming far too common. Please do not make the same mistakes that murdered KIA1.
Note that I am not calling out Dom specifically. I think the rules themselves are dogshit tier and must be fixed. I like this community, even if I do think you're a bunch of faggots. And goddamnit u/TheImpossible1 there's no women involved here so kindly fuck off.
Can we please have a serious discussion about our rules and the impacts that they have, and FIX THEM? We do not need SIXTEEN RULES, especially when it's clear not even our mods understand them all.
Doesn't really matter how overbearing we find the rules. DoM made the site, like AoV made the sub. They're faggots who despise stormfaggotry. Granted, I don't think we have any actual stormfags here, but anyone who points out an observation along those lines they'll instinctively want to quash. Their prerogative is their right.
Make your own internet.
Neither Dom nor Tony made KIA.
They fight like younger men.
Admirable.
But they merely adopted the shitlord.
I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was a man and by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING.
The shadows betray them because they belong to ME.
I will show them where I have made my home whilst preparing to bring justice.
Then I will break them.
I was there with Antonio when he still thought KIA2 was temporary and the mods on KIA1 could be reasoned with and would back down on all the shit they pulled.
He is the most stubborn person to ever exist, and cannot be shaken from that. He is reasonable, but you aren't gonna win easy.
As a different flavor of far-right extremist, being allowed to exist openly is enough for me because its a rare allowance these days.
Our little coalition doesn't need infighting. It also doesn't need to be an echo chamber. Yes, yes. Baneposting. We should appreciate the environment they've created, though. And they should remember what they hate. Unethical journalism.
