But would a better strategy not just be limiting all politics discussion to the social boards (except where it directly relates to the game or whatever), mandating that the topics always be tagged, and reducing the threshold of moderation while increasing the penalties for things like anti-LGBT sentiment and other bigotry? Seems like that would actually solve the problem rather than just making everybody mad while also making a quarantined extremism factory.

Hey_Mister posted... So like the policy only bans political topics but not posts about politics. Is there some reason we can't just make some kind of general miscellaneous topic about nothing in particular that just so happens to be filled with a large proportion of posts about politics? Conversely, is "hornyposting" only banning horny posts and not topics of a "horny" nature? Is "Babe Brawl" hornyposting? ...Vlado might need to bring back Babar Brawl and have Babar vs. Babe vs. Babe matchups each round, lol ... Copied to Clipboard!

There's a central paradox to all this. If there's an epidemic of offensive posts that are getting through the moderation system, relying on the moderation system more won't solve anything.

Sigh, if this site even sees the end of 2024, it'll be in a very different state. I try reddit, but it's no substitue for the traditional message board format I love, and the Discord can keep us connected, but again, I much prefer the message board format. This feels like another sad step in a long goodbye. =(
The one thing I've enjoyed about this is Allen's troll topic, which shows beyond ambiguity just how unfriendly his exit from fandom was. Good on ya, SB. --- Burnin, Blazin ... Copied to Clipboard!

Isnt it funny how right wing toxicity and echochambers are allowed while if theres a left wing forum its deemed toxic and has to be shutdown for being left wing. The politics board wasnt toxic and people who say it is are just mad cause theyre views are challenged and defeated in argument on there. The truest censorship that happened was shutting down the politics board, not the modding of trolls and right wing lunatics.

Conversely, is "hornyposting" only banning horny posts and not topics of a "horny" nature? Is "Babe Brawl" hornyposting? I think "hornyposting" is referring to topics such as this one that was closed: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/80443762 Topics that focus on real people instead of anime girls would be similarly affected by this. --- Luster Soldier --- ~Shield Bearer~ | ~Data Analyst~ Popular at school, but not as cool as azuarc, Guru Champ! ...
