You are saying you should not have to deal with having a reputation based on your history with someone. How would that make the forum community less argumentative? How would it make people safer from stalking or heckling or simply messing with people?
This idea makes no sense. It’s like saying we should do away with restraining orders because they stop people from being able to express themselves at the people who feel threatened by them. It’s a really weird idea that sounds much more like it would come from an abuser rather than the abused.
No, Shadina is correct. Roleplaying has nothing to do with the forums at all.
There’s no “We” in anything. I will not be grouped with a subpar human being who thinks telling somebody to off themselves is “jUsT a DiFfErNet OPiNioN”, and think it’s rude to block them for saying it. There’s a reason why i put you up on twitter.
They’re aware of that. They’re not posting in good faith. We’re in the “fake niceness and selective quoting” part of the Khrog/Doobly/Uulomul/Bula posts, escalated up from a period of general engagement with the community on a new alt.
Next will be the part where they start to go a little unhinged, and then they’ll dive right into hardcore bannable trolling. It’s a pretty predictable pattern that has held for their last series of alts, I’m just waiting for the part where they go nuclear again since the geiger count of their posts has started to escalate.
Nah, now were in the “Telling somebody to disappear is a different opinion, and if you block them, then you’re being rude” part now. The Mask is completely off now. LOL.
I suspect that Bula and Nelfas are the same person, but I don’t know for sure because 55 DK alt. But Bula was who the poster I was talking to was responding to.
Agreed. It’s kind of funny how they prove the need for account blocking by arguing against it in these ways.
Tools for defense and moderation based on community feedback of accounts is the way to go. Strong anonymity from real world anything is good, but not from in community forums. That reputation is a good thing.
