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.'
a while back, Ihad somebody following me around for like a month, downvoting everything I posted. It was weird.
I'm not even that interesting, lol.
Same thing happened to me back when DrJester was posting under his main account. I got into a debate with him, then I come back the next day and found all of my comments, going back a month or so, all get 1 downvote. Was hilarious.
sad really.
clearly this was some sort of petty revenge, but it's so pathetic...
