I see you've resorted to insinuating I'm trying to impede on the free speech of others. That isn't true and I'm tired of people making up lies just because they have a personal issue with me.fschmidt wrote: ↑December 5th, 2022, 9:57 amAs usual, I disagree with everyone here.
No it isn't. There is nothing in the rules about being constructive. And attacking people is only a violation if "without valid cause" and not "first provoked by them".Pixel--Dude wrote: ↑December 5th, 2022, 12:33 amI agree that someone shouldn't be banned for personally attacking someone. Debates get heated and people fall out and shit happens, it's fine. The issue isn't someone attacking someone else. The issue here is someone who contributes nothing constructive but ONLY ever attack people. This IS a violation of the rules of conduct on the forum.Mercer is clearly purely negative, which is stupid but is his right. Those that Mercer attacked tried to push positivity on him, so he was provoked. Leave Mercer alone and he will leave you alone.For reference, here are some of the rules of the forum which it is your job to uphold!
3. No unduly disruptive behavior that would cause us to lose other members.
4. No harassment or unnecessary hostility toward other members without valid cause, unless first provoked by them
This is classic Leftist thinking. This is the excuse used to ban me all over the internet. I have looked through Mercer's posts and I don't think they are particularly disruptive.Banning disruptive assholes isn't imposing on free speech. It's taking out the trash and cleaning this place up. And I've seen Mercer constantly going after @MarcosZeitola and now @Outcast9428 as well without provocation. This is why we asked for something to be done! Even people who don't get along usually stand pretty much uniform on this issue. These two bozos at least deserve a warning for their disruptive behaviour.
I am a moderator here to try to defend free speech.If the rules, polls and the opinions of the community are something you don't give a f**k about then why are you a moderator? Why should anyone ask for any meaningful change when you've just blatantly said you don't give a f**k what this community wants?!
Winston should be careful to avoid moderators who aren't fully committed to free speech.This is why @Winston should make someone who actually gives a shit into a moderator.
Well, it's clear nothing will be done about this. Or any other issues users of the forum might have. Apparently acting like a dickhead with impunity is the same as free speech
Mercer goes for @MarcosZeitola all the time without being provoked. @Outcast9428 only tried to help him and Mercer started making insults about Outcast9428's girlfriend. Allowing this kind of behaviour to go unchecked just means good members of this forum will get fed up and leave.
@fschmidt please provide me with an example of how someone would breach the rules 3 and 4 of the forum which would result in you taking action as a moderator? Is it what you arbitrarily decide?
Also, why is there suggestions and feedback sections of the forum when you don't care what people are suggesting or asking for.
