I also got warned for being "way too hasty" for asking if someone was a troll when we posted back and forth for a day or two. So, kids, post tabloids, and if you ever call someone a troll, it's like you blindly came into a bar just swinging your fists non-stop. | ||

Calling for more harsh moderation, greater moderation? My god, what the fuck??? We are already assassinating people for jaywalking! Look people, every time you have a frustration and you think "God I wish I had the power to prevent these people from saying or typing something that irritates me, I wish I could do something to stop them or punish them"... Take a moment, chill the fuck out, realize you are acting like an intolerant child. Realize that it's just a fucking internet forum where people talk to each other, it's just words on the internet, we aren't building a fucking tower to heaven, we aren't establishing a constitution here. Give people some leeway, and they will afford you some leeway, and we can all get along and enjoy our time here without throwing anyone except the outright psychopaths and nutjobs under the bus. Can we handle that, children? The days of running to mommy and to the yard duty are over when you become a mature adult. Being a mature adult means sucking it up and dealing with people saying things you don't like or occasionally "digressing," to quote Catcher in the Rye, or being stupid asses. Being an adult means you can deal with these things and these people without throwing a tantrum and expecting and authority figure to solve the problem for you. Maybe you don't like what I'm saying now, and want to lash out at me for it. It's ok, that's just the Nazi Child in your soul, he will be gone when you man the fuck up. /rant | ||

I guess especially in LR threads, the standards are slightly lower (because LR threads have been historically moderated a bit more loosely, tbh... they were originally more about reactions to play than actual "live reporting," though with the advent of real streams and such, the purpose of the LR thread has changed somehow), and if moderators were to actually ban anything that offended anyone, they'd have to be clicking "ban" like 5 times per minute, and at least 25% of users in each thread would be banned. damn that was a long run-on. | ||

I feel that Mods should only ban trolls, idiots/backseat moderators, and those deliberately being mean to the rest of the TL users. As long as every post is backed up with sufficient and logical content, it should be allowed. | ||

I feel that moderation should only have to do with technical aspects, like when someone spams, or posts links to malware. Whatever people write on the forums is to be judged by individual members themselves as discussion worthy or not. Use your judgement! One thing a forum needs is a feature that lets you block users you don't like so you can remove "clutter" generated by trolls and flamers. The idea that the internet is going to be a cool, collected and well educated is super naive. A forum can be cool, collected and well educated, provided you get rid of the people that aren't cool collected and well educated. | ||

TL has grown too big for its current system and there is no way anyone could change anything without upsetting the veterans who hold the most power overall. I thought about it for a long time, and I have decided it's not even worth my time trying to propose anything given that Website Feedback is barely used for anything anyway. | ||

It's ok, that's just the Nazi Child in your soul, he will be gone when you man the fuck up. /rant 95% of posters can't handle terrible posters. Not getting upset and not retaliating is just the bare minimum. Can you really ignore them and continue with the lines of discussions that were actually going somewhere? And even if YOU can there's always going to be some posters who would have had something intelligent to say had they not wasted their time correcting someone who is just blatantly wrong (possibly on purpose). And of course there's the issue of having to read 20 pages of discussion 80% of which is basically useless, instead of having 3 or 4 pages of great content. Even if you're a Buddha and never get upset or derailed by stupidity they are still wasting your time. edit: or you don't read the 20 pages and post something that has already been said. Now you became part of the problem too. | ||
