Your temp ban was not because of one specific post. It was just a combination of your general attitude and the way you were responding to people.
I must note that this is a really lazy justification, mostly because in practice all it serves to do is just support a circular logic. There are plenty of people who are belligerent and troublesome without ever getting actioned for it, one good example of which is mentioned in Neb's preceding post. The "bad history" argument, though, is really just used to single out particular people while being utterly vague and nebulous about any real justification. Sure as hell isn't even remotely consistent in what is and isn't actionable.

The post where I discuss how there are certain posters who exhibit the same tendencies and therefore get actions more than others. The tendency being bad faith arguing, circuitous rationale, and general assholery. Feel free to name names, I'm sure we know who they are.

I'm also all about these names and will be named. Let us do this.

We have not made progress at all. It's irritating to me that something like 75% of DMCD's posts are belligerent and low content and nobody ever seems to bat an eye What's the problem Nebuchad? Point to the one you have the most problem with and I'll see if I can help you. Perhaps by toning down the belligerancy if unwarranted.
But rather naturally, my posts will seem low content to you because, I'm not interested in the accelerant thing; the content you are interested in is different from mine. I am only interested in GH explaining his own sentence, and from the looks of it GH isn't interested to explain either.

The banlist still lists GH as perma banned from the thread, despite him having been posting in there since he got un banned from the site.

And edit out our PM conversation, since that doesn't need to be public. EDIT: Thread will remain open for now since people are already having discussions.

I "best"? How patronizing. Please restrain yourself, sir.

Oh, chill out for god's sake. There's plenty on this earth to get offended about besides other people's vernacular. You're welcome for the help.

Assume, for one brief moment, that I had already seen Seeker's post in the thread, since you know. I fucking quoted from the same thread. I posted my complaint here because why create a whole thread for one post? If it was a lot of issues I found in that thread, I would have, I don't know...aired my complaint in a different manner?
You best not assume you know my intentions. And you are most welcome for the help.

Like you don't word your posts specifically to get a rise out of people. There's more things to be upset about than losing my job or wrecking my car. Doesn't mean I ever want to deal with it. Don't goad people into responding a certain way and then act surprised that they took you up on it.

Today I learned more than one person thinks “you best [verb]” is patronizing and meant to get a rise out of people. Good to know. Does it extend to “you better post that in its own thread,” or is that equally capable of wounding? Any mods want to have input on that first post?

I would assume, if the mods have a problem with the post, they would say so, and don't need you to speak for them. This coy routine is not necessary.

I didn’t see an issue with “you best X”. It’s not like he said “you best git gon boy”.

I don't really see this as an issue for the mods; as far as I can see neither ZeroCool nor NewSunshine said it was before Danglars brought it up. I also find it difficult to believe Danglars was not trying to be irritating in any one of his posts in the conversation.
I also don't think Danglars' first post is even necessarily accurate; given that the mod note in the nominee thread now says it will be moderated similar to the megathread it does not seem farfetched that the mods would accept queries about it here. It is at any rate a question for them to answer.
|
I didn't take it as a racist comment from danglars. I took it as him telling me what I can and cannot do on any internet forum that he has no business doing. He isn't a mod and holds no special powers. If he wanted to be of any help, he could have just used the spoiler and refrain from the extra nonsense.
I asked about the post I quoted because that seems to be as race baiting as they come. That is all.

In that is the response to being called out for being patronising, it can be inferred that Danglars is intending to be disrespectful.
Anyways, in reporting iplaynettles' post would be the first step.

this is next level stupidity. nothing he has said needs this sort of examination. in fact chilling out is exactly what’s needed. and i hate to ever have to agree with Danglars.
