I know we all get tired of meta posts, but this has been a complaint for ages.
Can we please simplify the rules and then enforce them equally and consistently? As is, we've had pretty sporadic enforcement, where bad stuff - porn, clearly bad faith trolling, and pedophilia advocation, to name a few recent standouts - have stayed up for around a week. Meanwhile, some much less offensive stuff, from established and active members, sometimes gets taken down immediately, which just stifles discussion. (And, no, I was not moderated, this isn't me bitching about something done to me.)
This isn't Reddit; we don't need these rules. We can simplify this all down to 'no porn, no advocating illegal activity, and if you're a handshake you don't have human rights.'
meta posts are gay
make your point without sperging out
Point to where I sperged out.
I'll wait.
Point out in the mod logs where people were dinged but not sperging out
Me: "Point to where I sperged out."
You: *Completely changes the topic for no damn reason.*
Ah, you got me.
Are you really so dense that I have to spell it out for you?
Regardless of the actual text, the rules are there to minimize sperg outs.
Can you point out in the mod logs where the rules were misapplied?
My first point still stands, meta posts are gay.
