RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - Nero - 05-01-2015 I'd like to go on record as saying that acknowledging inflammatory posts or strawman arguments--such as in my own post above--does more harm than good. Shining light on a bad flower does nothing but help it grow, in a manner of speaking. I'm not exactly good at leading by example. This I recognise. In the future when such posts are made, I strongly encourage everyone to do their best to simply ignore it, regardless of its content. Escalating a situation like I just did helps no one, and if your intention is to "get back" at a person or "put them in their place", then apathy, especially on a wide scale, is a far more effective expression of disdain than the most hateful vitriol. When bombs are being dropped left and right, do as the British did: keep calm and carry on. RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - Renata Lynn - 05-01-2015 ..... 1. I have triggers. But I also realize that while I can ask people to respect that, not everyone will, and I deal accordingly. Trauma that happened to me should not affect the lives of others. Certain triggers, I draw the line at, but others I know are not intended to further traumatized me. Thankfully I am at a point where I can choose to refuse givingthe pperpetrators further power over my life. Not everyone is. 2. What in the everlasting frig did I walk into when I joined this community? The majority of you are great people...but dang, this crepe is crazy. I did not realize the RPC had turned into an online Baltimore.

Or do what they actually did and build bigger bombers and bigger bombs and BURN THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS DOWN. Actually wait don't, that's probably a warnable offence.

However fun for me and good for the community are not always synonymous.

RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - Bopdoot - 05-01-2015 I'm genuinely sad that gifs and may-mays aren't allowed D:... They can be so much fun if used comedically and in a topical way XD RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - Aduu Avagnar - 05-01-2015 (05-01-2015, 12:46 AM)Bopdoot Wrote: I'm genuinely sad that gifs and may-mays aren't allowed D:...

RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - ArmachiA - 05-01-2015 I think if meme's are part of the discussion then they're fine. Like is someone was going "Do I level this class or this class?" and someone posts a "Why not both?" Meme then explains why. I could be wrong.

The rest of this thread is too off the deep end for me to really comment on.  >.> RE: Feedback for moderation policy post - Xenedra - 05-01-2015 Confirmed; memes and videos and all that fun stuff are fine as long as they're relevant and not posted to derail or instigate trouble. |
