pyresword 04/17/24 2:09:06 AM #353:	KamikazePotato posted... I feel like this rule is barely going to be enforced outside of the initial Politics topic purge. Like have any of us gotten modded since this went into effect? How does an understaffed mod team even begin to address this when it's so broad it actually INCREASED the scope of their work? Although posts might randomly still get deleted. I haven't been able to follow everything since last night but I strongly suspect this will be the case and that as long as we don't label topics like "Politics Discussion" nothing will happen. Could be wrong but this is my guess. I suppose users could more easily shut down a discussion with reports but idk if we'd actually have that problem here. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. <cite>pyresword posted [p:979953293] in Fandom ban...

red13n 04/17/24 4:20:31 AM #357:	So this Uta person was coming into the topic saying "all this stuff is political adjacent but not political and you can talk about just causes just fine" and it turns out that was complete bullshit. Not to mention incredibly ignorant of the fact that these discussions often inherently require being political to have any substance. And this is one of your lead mods with absolutely no grasp on the actual rules that are currently being enforced. Just pathetic on a level we've never had on GFAQs.

Can our local mods N/A the lgbtq discussions, but take down the MAGA/Biden stuff? The way our moderation system has always worked it's basically always enforced by users marking stuff. (Which is why this policy change doesn't really make sense - if the issue is that things have gotten super toxic... well, that was already probably against the rules. The problem then was that no one was marking it or that the mods weren't modding it. This doesn't really fundamentally change any of that. It's just stating those posts are now breaking n+1 rules... but if no one is marking them then it's not going to change much. Mods don't really roam topics looking to action things, the site is just too big for that to be feasible.) And technically since all marked messages go into a single site-wide queue the mods that happen to be B8ers couldn't realistically intercept all marks that happen here. A common misconception is that mods have assigned boards/mods that post on a board are the ones who are modding it. Someone like TRE could handle messages here but only in the sense that any mod who happens to open the mod queue has a chance of getting a message from here.

Wanglicious 04/17/24 4:26:00 PM #384:	politics can definitely derail a topic that has nothing to do with it, that part's fair. and if that's what people get annoyed with, totally get it. but blocking all of it is just the other extreme when there was a lot of middle ground to work with and now instead stifles discussion. making a politics topic to absorb 90% of it, easy. making the tag auto-blocked by default so you have to opt into that tag, also easy. if you want to limit political talk on a subject, you can also just make the rule of political talk should have the tag, otherwise moderate it. essentially the same rule as this only instead of "ban outright" it's "in a topic with the tag." more complicated and annoying sure but far less egregious than an outright ban. easy examples would be say somebody wants to talk about gun ownership or about a relative having an abortion. topic could simply be about that without delving into gun control or pro-life/pro-choice arguments. if people wanna talk about that in those terms, just use the tag. if they don't, don't. --- "Maybe it's a tentacle, molesting the planet itself. - Aschen Brodel. <cite>Wanglicious posted [p:979963602] in Fandom ban...
