Suggest the mods introduce a “it’s time to stop posting” timeout, cos some of you are really spending too much time here.

for moderation to be disproportionately used against the left tends to have a chilling effect.
Just looked at this user's posts and... they don't seem notably left wing to me. I am an actual communist, mind you, maybe my standards are different.

Anyway, I've just seen the other thread too, checked out the context and conferred with WmC - I'm in favour of shortening it to a normal length temp ban rather than a permaban. I'm definitely lobbying stet to remove "permanently" from the admin log wording, though, this comes up every time.

ok, sounds good. i'm not terribly super informed about this case and i definitely don't want to jump to conclusions. i only say what i do because i have seen boards where there _is_ a hostile relationship between the socialist posters and the mods, and a lot of that is down to actions which are justified and proper taken individually.
y'all want to go ahead and laugh at me, be my guest, but i am committed to continuing to be willing to make myself look stupid in other people's eyes.

Ah, shit, rushomancy, I didn't mean to make you feel like I thought you were stupid, you're an excellent poster and contribute lots of thoughtful stuff and I greatly appreciate your presence here. I think I'm personally just over-sensitive about potentially being considered a centrist when inside I'm like "I'M MORE FUCKING LEFT-WING THAN MOST OF YOU PEOPLE DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY PHOTOS OF ME AT MARX'S GRAVE EH????"

i went as #6 for halloween once, it was fun. nobody recognized me. "the prisoner" has weirded me out ever since i realized how similar it was to "a man for all seasons" and realized how much weird Catholic stuff is in that show.

I had a look at B,M's posting history after spotting this, and it seemed fairly innocuous... so suggested to me this post was just a poorly formed 'joke' and not e.g. that they were some edgelord

This was all hashed out and changed to a temp ban yesterday.

I want to deeply apologize. It was a serious question, but barfed out without any thought. I’m a long time lurker and only registered in order to finally participate in discussion. Partially, I had worried that easy access to posting would result in me doing something thoughtless like that. In my defense I have paid attention long enough that I would never have responded like that to someone who has shared their experience of suicidal ideation, and as far as I can tell, Aimless has not had publicly shared experiences. I respect the norms of this group and respect all of you. Again, my heartfelt apologies.

i also marked a number of threads with disturbing images as non work-safe, so ...?
― sarahell, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 17:52 (three years ago) link
related to that, i was idly wondering the other day: if the images in a NSFW thread are hidden, does that make the thread SFW again?
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 17:56 (three years ago) link
like, if i'm contributing to a very serious thread and i want to post https://i.imgur.com/EmqTrSt.jpg, can i just post it and carry on? (you'll have to use your imagination and pretend there's a penis in that pic)
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 17:59 (three years ago) link
lol, sarahell, I was only joking.
Karl, I think it'd be good form to warn about what's under the hidden text marker, and also consider if your NSFW image is really necessary. Personally I'd prefer an external link to NSFW images with an explanation of what you'll see if you click on it. To answer your actual question, though, I'm not sure if the thread would need a NSFW marker or not if you hide the image, I'd probably keep it there as a content warning but I'm not completely sure it'd be warranted.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 18:07 (three years ago) link
makes sense! thanks emil.y
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 1 September 2020 18:27 (three years ago) link
Hidden text isn’t hidden from Google, so it’d be best to mark the threads NSFW if possible

Karl, I would have to check but I don’t think the loading of the image is dynamic, just the display. So if part of NSFW images is that your employer/whoever logs where images are coming from, then that’ll be logged regardless of whether it’s displayed on your monitor

Yeah, that was a 51. And just before we reset the totals, too. I only ever really saw Left posts that had been flagged and tbh I frequently agreed with the main thrust of them, but jeez that person seemed to be aggressive for no reason.
― emil.y, Friday, 11 September 2020 18:03 (three years ago) link
actually I might have fp'd Left in the past 6 months. For a while my primary FP policy was to flag posts of the "ILX sucks and I hate everyone here" genre, and Left definitely had a streak of those back in the spring. tbh I hadn't really been bothered by him recently
