Do I really need to explain how grossly oversimplified to the point of flagrant misrepresentation that is?
Oh I'm sure you have a way to justify your corrupt authoritarianism. I don't care what your reasoning is. If you ban people without them breaking rules, then the only actual rule is "don't upset the power tripping bastards", which I strongly disagree with.
“Corrupt authoritarianism” my god dude you can’t be serious. You’ve clearly got a chip on your shoulder or are otherwise grinding your axe about something that happened to you (or because of you?)
Oh, it's hyperbolic, but it gets the point across.
No it really doesn’t. You sound ridiculous.
I mean, I think you sound ridiculous... So agree to disagree there.
Apparently I don’t if you have to have a total meltdown over people agreeing with me. I can’t believe a couple of magic Internet points set you off so much. You are a petty, small person. Leave me alone. Go run your idyllic community and watch the trolls pour in. You can bet your ass I would ban you in a heartbeat, you’re a great example of the problem here
::shrugs:: we both agree that the other is the problem. Have fun with your power tripping.
whatever
Reply to edit:
Nope. Just don't like petty authoritarians.
So you grossly misrepresented what I wrote, ignored the other comments And conversation with other people, and just start calling me a petty authoritarian?
Yeah dude you really have a chip on your shoulder. You could actually try talking to me about this but it seems like you just want to grind your axe and be indignant all day. Have at it.
The statements
"don’t be afraid to ban somebody just because they didn’t explicitly violate a rule"
And
"Oh, just ban whoever even if they didn't break any rules"
Use different words but end up in the same place.
So how is it grossly misrepresenting anything?
Perhaps you can give an example of when someone didn't break any rules and you felt justified banning them and why, and maybe I'll sympathize a little.
Not explicitly banning over a rule =/= banning for no reason.
If I have a rule that says “no racism” and you exhibit sexism, I’m fucking banning you
To give a more concrete example that’s actually happened, we banned somebody on our server recently who every single time he entered the conversation, ithad a massive chilling effect on the conversation. He would not directly attack people with insults, but his entire tone and cadence and language was hostile and spiked conversation. It was ruining the entire server. We repeatedly told him to cool his jets. He didn’t, so we banned him. We didn’t have a specific rule to cite, we just told him to stop being an asshole and he refused.
None of this matters. You’ve already decided I am some horrible tyrant. So fuck off
No, I decided that your statement was something a horrible tyrant would say. There's a difference. I'm guessing you're actually pretty decent, but wanted to address what I felt was a horrible statement that only an insane person would utter.
Your example is pretty vague, and I can't say for certain that the user in question was in the wrong, but it at least sounds like you did the right thing.
Initially it sounded like you were banhammering people without them knowing what they did wrong, but at least in this example, you warned the user first, so it seems as though you did right. If it was always like that, my apologies for misinterpreting what you said.
Have a good one.
Whatever
