The last iteration of the moderation discussion thread was a complete disaster. Numerous attempts to keep it on topic fa

It’s overtly misogynistic to ask if a woman is on her period when she displays any form of emotion- or in this case moderation.

This is exactly what the American people voted for. EXACTLY. Trump did the exact same thing with respect to some female moderator on FoxNews (I think it was Fox) years ago.

I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but it is reality. This is now the world in which we live. Luciom and those of his ilk are now the majority and have the power. Buckle up, folks.

(I voted against all of this. I tried. I lost. But to be fair as an educated, upper-middle class white male, I’ll be just fine. Good luck to any of you in the margins though. Yuck.)

I'm a big fan of having a Luciom unchained thread. We're getting such a G rated version of his views but he earned that week off for sure.

The guy didn’t even know that in America, kids can bring food to school and eat it. Who knows wtf else he doesn’t know. He should be ignored.

idc about nate or the ban, but fwiw he's misquoted twice here. it's possible that his statement (while certainly off-color) was misconstrued.

Don't think there is enough there to misquote or misconstrue.

that time of month?

So Lucion gets suspended for something Nate posted ?

I realise "following the conversation" is not really your thing, but I'm curious, when you posted this question, what odds did you assign to the answer being "yes"?

Yes! You’ve figured it out!

that's not was cross said he wrote. and so it's possible (and this might be overly generous) that nate was goofing on who was banned given the exact words.

as I wrote, idc about her decision, but it's probably in everyone's interest if the person who is banned is quoted correctly. esp by the mod who dropped the hammer

I am sorry but I do not see a direct post by Lucion saying the comment to her. I see him questioning in a Mod thread why Nate was banned . Is that what a Mod thread is for to discuss Mod issues.

It sure seems like its all the right wing folks getting vacations and posted that they are on vacation

Lets be clear CN wants certain individuals and their opinions gone so me included must tread lightly while someone like you can fire insults non stop

It’s a good thing this isn’t real life, just an internet forum that one can simply walk away from.

It’s only ugly if you look at it.

What made you think that Luciom was banned for the "time of the month" comment? Was that something you imagined? It's not something a single person ITT has said.

You are being exceedingly charitable. Bolded is not plausible imo.


Moderation decisions would be easier to understand if everyone accepted the idea of a catch-all prohibition against overtly assholic behavior.

Moderation decisions would be easier to understand if everyone accepted the idea of a catch-all prohibition against overtly assholic behavior.

Determining what qualifies as “overtly assholic behavior” in a world where a majority voted for a man who contends that, as a result of his socioeconomic status, he gets to grab women by the pussy without reprisal, is going to be tough sledding.

it is reasonable to ask that the mod accurately quote the guy they banned for the words that lead to the infraction

Might also be nice if they stopped pretending that it's too hard to understand that two users who got banned in close chronological proximity to one another for posts arising from the same original discussion did in fact get banned for different things.

What are you talking about? What was innacurate?

by Crossnerd m

Maybe it’s a language barrier, but if a man sarcastically asks me if it’s “that time of the month”, he’s going to eat a ban until I feel like seeing his dumbass screen name again, and I’ll have zero qualms about it.


Like, seriously, wtf are you talking about? She quoted him verbatim. If you want to argue that his post can somehow reasonably be interpreted as something other than what it plainly is on its face, you do you, but I suspect you're in a group of one.


It's not verbatim


by King_of_NYC m

It's not verbatim

Ok, this has to be some sort of act now. She literally quoted him word for word.


look at it again. slowly


by King_of_NYC m

look at it again. slowly

You're going to have to explain it to me, probably slowly, since I am stone cold sober and I am capable of comparing two sentences containing 5 identical words.

Oh you mean because he missed "the"? Lol. Ok, I didn't notice that before. That's really your argument here?


by King_of_NYC m

It's not verbatim

I don't see the issue. CN cited the words that nate used and put those words in quotes. Yes, she omitted the word "the," but that was probably inadvertent and doesn't change the meaning in any way that I can discern. She also described the words as a question directed to her, but that seems like a reasonable inferference given that nate quoted two of CN's posts and then used a question mark in his post.


hint: nate's sentence has 4 words

He missed "the". That changes everything (apparently).

Group of one? Have you ever met PlayBig? He can misinterpret anything.


by King_of_NYC m

Yes. They are different.

For example, telling someone to β€œGo **** your self” is different than saying β€œ**** your self.” Simple!
