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.'
I vote rule 16 to be removed.
I've been doing some noticing lately, and I think discussing certain things I've noticed should be allowed.
How does this apply to groups like Communists or Queers? They identify this way, but it's also an ideological position, which can absolutely be inferior and conspiring.
They're literally trying to ruin video games via orgs like the GDC and SBI, am I allowed to say that?
Communists and queers are ideological groups, which are choices. The rule is about identity groups, which are circumstances of birth. It's pretty obviously a "don't be a collectivist lefty faggot spouting racial idpol to forum slide and degrade board quality" rule.
Yes, but not if you say it like (((this))).
Agreed.
