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.'
You're literally retarded.
You can't report this comment for falsehoods.
I wish you weren't retarded, and could live as a functioning human being, but here we are.
The falsehood report is a clusterfuck at the best of times because there have been blatant falsehoods posted but the argument Dom put forward to keep the post was basically: "the person is retarded and believes it".
I'm paraphrasing there but it sums up the message, akin to permitting a schizophrenic agency because their hallucinations appear to be real to them.
It then gets worse when trolls play that card "sincerely".
Difference between disinformation and misinformation.
