In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), the Court overturned the conviction of Clarence Brandenburg, a member of the Ku Klux Klan who had made inflammatory statements, by insisting that it would only punish advocacy that "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."
The Bradenburg “test” is still the principle used today to legally judge advocacy of violence. Imminent and produce being the key words here.
Per the rules which have been horrendously written. Rule 2: Do not engage in speech that promotes, advocates, glorifies, or endorses violence.
As there is no context provided for what constitutes “violence” I’m going to start reporting every comment since words can fall under violence. As people here regularly play games, any mention of any game that contains violence, real or imaginary, must be removed as the display of violence is promoting of it. Any media that has glorified or promoted violence will also not be permitted as to reference to them would also promote violence.
I would highly encourage DoM or AoV to rewrite rule 2 and 16. As it would only take a few people tired of the subjective subjugation to start spamming reports.
I disagree. I think it's pretty fairly applied, considering that there's a sizeable subset of almost exclusively bad-faith users who would, given the opportunity, spend hours every day postimg about nothing other than what they would like to do to every member of a certain ethnoreligious group in a deliberate and adolescent effort to shit up the place and take it over.
Everything you just said has nothing to do with rule 2 or 16 being applied subjectively. Subjective rules are the reason KiA2 even exists in the first place.
The rule is not being applied subjectively that I can see.
Can we talk about games and books where violence is applied? If so it falls under promotion under legal definition. Can we say sjws are mentally deranged? If so it violates rule 16 as sjw is an identity. These rules have never been applied objectively.
Saying that a book says something is different from saying you agree with it or that you condone it irl.
We can say that SJWs are mentally deranged, because SJWs don't count as an "identity group" as that term seems to be defined under Rule 16. However, as I said above, I actually agree with you about 16 and I think it should be tweaked a bit.
My major concern is that any substantial overhaul would lead to the level of discussion in the community being degraded and retarded by feds and teenaged edgelords begging for attention.
