Interesting, I must have missed the occurrence, to me it was banned, gone for a bit, noted shift in general post length/tone, lol.

Makes sense to me though.

Also, I miss Plansix.

At a minimum BerserkSword’s invective deserves similar treatment

The moderator that carried out the ban action has been contacted. I will update after he responds.

I don't think it's particularly bad but it doesn't really contribute anything to the convo at all (if the ban was for 'low-effort post' then it makes sense).

I should think it would be for low content post. What does complaining about "Team Deplorable" contribute to the conversation?

You want to put him well within his rights the next time somebody says something absurd, like cops often kill blacks, saying "Looks like Team SJW is out in force today!"

I don't think that standard is any good standard at all. And granted, if mahgrell had composed some ranty style response, that would be totally acceptable.

I as well sort of question the unban, unless it's from the perspective of "we want to generally provide more lenience all around in posting." It's kind of low effort and mean-spirited all the same.

It depends on the user in question, but it's probably something deserves a warning rather than a ban for their first offense, so I can see why they got unbanned (as they aren't a frequent poster in the thread).

Is it allowed to post a link to something like that on TL? (it's a link to a series of mugshots with names and what they're accused of, before they've been put on trial). I'm not entirely sure on how Dutch law handles it. (I believe this sort of thing is illegal in a lot of EU countries when it comes to EU citizens, not sure how it would be handled for US ones on an EU site).

They’re considered a matter of public record in the United States. It’s valuable for certain narratives about the relative threat of far left and far right violence to see the actual people being charged with major crimes. Some would have you believe that Antifa and black bloc actions are a figment of right-wing imagination. So until such a time as not even the shooters name is released to the public, I think it’s appropriate.

First off, "matter of public record" is dependent on the state.

Second, TL runs under EU/Netherlands jurisdiction so the point is moot.

Given that the mug shots were released to the public, it should follow that the applicable laws provide for the public record.

The “allowed to post,” I hope you recognize, invokes both TL rules of enforcement as well as possible legal troubles in EU. I hope you can recognize it’s not just a legal question. It may be valuable for a US Politics thread, or not, and still not under EU law proscription.

I wasn't saying the information wasn't useful (ie, it's fine to post in the thread from a Pol rules perspective), I just legitimately am not sure how TL handles that sort of thing. (Twitter is a US based org and isn't subject to the same regulations).

I will note that it is the case that shooters names aren't released in many, many countries.

Pretty sure those rules apply to law enforcement agencies and not the press. The press, at best, has an ethical code that even if they know they name, they don't use it. For instance, Thomas Breivik wasn't referred to as Thomas B. in Dutch news, because the local authorities didn't refer to him as Thomas B. but instead made his full name public. Meanwhile media calling the shooter of Pim Fortuyn by his full name were heavily criticized and there was some discussion about whether his last name should still be blanked out despite everybody knowing it. Some newspapers stubbornly continued to refer to him as Volkert vd. G, despite everybody knowing that G stood for Graaf. Similarly, Joran van der Sloot's last name was mentioned in international press long before Dutch press started using it.

So I don't think there are any legal issues with TL posting private info that was made public legally elsewhere. And whether TL should adhere to Dutch ethical guide for journalism in the US politics thread is maybe an interesting question for the mods, I guess?

Do you mean to imply that posting a bunch of mug shots is valuable for conversation?

Particularly for the charge that there’s no such thing as Antifa and black bloc riots, or these are right wing false flag types, or they’re just peaceful protesters that got caught up in the chaos.

And they’re not just mug shots, the thread includes many of weapons, and particulars of the charges.

Since you never responded to my post, other than to dismiss it based on the last spoilered comment, put in some effort if you want me to do the same.
