Poll of the Day > Check out Allen's new update: Moderation Overhauled

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah, the flaming rule still only applies to users on this site.

Trump has an account...
---

Can you call users an analog to a (reasonable, ie not hitler/stalin/whatever) political figure then?

Im glad off-topic posting is being more relaxed. It was definitely annoying.
---

When are we going to be able to discuss drug use?
---

this is broken

I've only been modded that one time
---

can we post butts entire cracks but no hole
---

what about just the hole and no crack
---

It feels great to go to Politics or Current Events boards, and just look for posts to report. There's usually one or more posts in many topics with blatant flaming.

Offensive terms I've marked:
Racist
Transphobic
Shitbag
---

Can you get modded for saying someone has a venereal disease

If you added Trumpanzee and conservaderp to that list 261 would be a dead board.

Im not even sure why somebody needed to ask this question in the first place.

Also, Ethan Hawke is a loser.

Jen sure has a VD fetish...

You can post an entire breast as long as the nipple is covered, so I don't see why not

Under the new rules it should be moddable to maliciously call me a man, but it won't be.

What if it isn't maliciously? Then what's the policy?

Obviously context matters. When someone purposely misgenders another user, continually and in a caustic manner, it should be moderated.

If someone repeatedly followed me around deriding me for my gender, I'd mark it for harassment.

I hope that will actually be stuck to by the mods if this policy is to be upheld.

Personally, I can live with feminine or neutral pronouns, either work for me.

Also to the poster who said "what if I forget their gender?" etc - safest way out of that quandary is to do what I do, for the same reason (I have a very poor memory): use neutrals for everybody. I do it in real life, too. Unless & until I do know what pronouns someone prefers, I assume neutral by default.

For the record:

If you don't know what a neutral pronoun is, "they"/"them"/"their" can be neutrals in English, singular or plural, or there are "ze"/"xe"/"zie"/"sie" (in place of "he", "she", "he/she" or "s/he") and/or "hir"/"zir"/"xir" (in place of "his" or "her").

"Ze" etc. are all pronounced as the German "sie" pronoun, and "zir"/"xir" as the American "z" with an r sound added to the end. "Hir" is very like "her" but with an "ee" sound in the middle rather than the "uh".

Hope this will help! :)

That says a lot about you as a person, none of it good.

(I assume this would not count as name calling, mods? It's true, regardless...)

To quote the great Dave Chappelle: I support anyones right to be who they are inside, but to what degree do I have to participate in your self-image? Why do I have to switch up my pronoun game for this motherfucker?

They say that they can't stop them from continually making accounts. Yet they throw the same people into purgatory once a month instead of just banning them outright.

Its a shame, it really is.

Srsly, I say put a strain on what little creativity those individuals have, if not send a stronger message that what they're doing is unwelcome, and maybe some (definitely not all) of them will leave for somewhere else when they had enough. It's happened before during the advent of spinoff boards, so then those people just need somewhere else to go that ISN'T telling them no.

I like how NWDs aren't contestable so you can't defend your record to avoid a future warning.

Up

Its almost like new user accounts that violate the ToU should just be banned outright

Again, this says more about you and them and your generalised disrespect for other people than anything else. So it would be a sad day that either of you developed common courtesy and respect for the identity of other people in the world? That is sadder than anything else about this, and more disgusting.

I personally don't like when someone creates a word and enforces for something rather than letting it evolve naturally and spread memetically.
"They" is a bit awkward to use the first 20 times or so, but it works just fine.

Remember when "Gris" was moddable?

Pepperidge Farms remembers!

Oh gimme a break.

All those x z s are so pretentious. How does one even pronounce them? (Show me IPA )

Do I have to spell it right, too? One person prefers xir, another likes zir, third claims xer, fourth zer. We're expected to remember all these different permutations? Yeah okay.

Putting an expectation on other people to change their very language reinforce your own identity is disrespectful.
