/meta/ - Ruthless criticism of all that exists (in leftypol.org)

>Tbh that could also be from the same anon breaking another rule somewhere else and the mod just clicking the first post they saw to issue the ban.
Another mod brought up this possibility, which is a thing I wasn't aware of, so that's definitely possible. I just thought that post was a good example of what I had seen while making this thread.

>Also, regarding "just discussing it", maybe you could be referring to rapefiend anon?
I wasn't thinking of any particular anon, I had just seen a few different anons making references to it in memes or whatnot and get their threads removed, and then the one I quoted in OP made me think I should make a thread asking about it. But it could have just been a coincidence.

>The lack of ban ids makes this significantly harder to discuss or evaluate
I do have a couple of them because I still have screenshots, actually. I didn't think to save them but I'll keep that in mind if something happens again.

Ban for "irony poisoning"

Ban for "ban evasion" (From the screenshot I posted in the meta thread >>43004 )

It's possible but unlikely. They don't have the "resources". Iron Felix is still running around etc. etc.
My name has been dropped once or twice or three times in the last month(s) and I don't even think that was mods. They are generally so unaware.

>spamming reports
is fuckin bs. They can remove all reports of one IP.
It's also nowhere in the rules. But something like that has not been the standard in a long time. Some minimum amount of sanity and/or consistency would be nice, I suppose.

>>43045
But don't accept that reasoning so easily.
"oh we don't have time", then sort it the fuck out. Get someone who has time / gives a shit. You been saying that for years. At some point it gets beyond angering and just becomes really silly. Oh we have long passed that point, in my book.

Why would you spam reports in the first place. If you go through the effort of being annoying, you'll get the reaction you're looking for.

>>43075
A silly little response.
If you want spam I can show you real spam.

>>43044
>First time I hear of this
Check the edit history of the ordinance thread OP, pretty sure it was stated there. Otherwise the other thread I knew it was mentioned in bumpslid off, which frustrates me.
>bans thing for non-leftist reasons
>called out on it
>thing doesn't have to do with leftism
The times I've seen it zapped, and the ban I myself got for it, was on /siberia/, the off-topic board. Obviously so.

The only further action requested is finding out if there's anything upstream forbidding feral–which would be equally weird as it being banned here and thus improbable–and removing the rule if not, or linking / citing the rule / law / terms of service of whatever upstream entity forbids it.
Again, this is the only time I've ever seen a site in specificity ban non-bestial, sophont feral art that wasn't a flat ban of porn altogether.

It was low effort I guess. Unless you posted it in siberia in which case mods have no excuse

>>43062
Well they were asking questions with a few quips woven in, I think questions about praxis is exempt from that.

the evil lefty capitalism website

Amazing.

Your bit isnt funny

Nah fuck off, zap the derail but bringing up how a country does something is on it's own neutral and able to be relevant to a given discussion.
Treat it like the magacom thing, just don't let people start pingponging wheather or not it's "real socialism"

the PRC is a good idealist filter since belief in communist utopia and/or le ebil totalitarian 1984 dystopia are both highly idealistic views of history and politics that just boils shit down to manichean struggles of great men and great ideals.

>'s the same fucking thing every goddamn time nobody actually learns anything and nobody learns anything and nothing is gained
True of every debate on this site, also banning discussion of the most powerful or second most powerful country in the world in a political community seems unproductive

>>41633
that's still anonymous retard

>>42234
uh…so is forced trips?

>>42235
technically yes if people change their trips all the time so uh yeah

>>41628
Make it a hidden board. Maybe pedo spammers can stay quarantined there, improving site quality for the rest of us.

Have a board for the Middle East call it /jihad/

The matrix homeserver broke and is being restored.
The thread is more about what the site has as an alternative in case this happens again or it goes down permanently. Currently the matrix is a quicker way to reach mods in case of a raid and seems to be where they make decisions, plus it's a point of contact for some users.

>>42855
>It's gone and not coming back.
Why do people like to lie on the internet like this?
Matrix.org had a serious database problem due to a RAID failure, they have been restoring 55 TB of data for the last 14 hours and it's still not done yet, then they will have to replay the activity of the last 17 hours on the database. This takes a long time, but it should be operational later during the day or by tomorrow.
Matrix instances and accounts not hosted on matrix.org are unaffected.

>The thread is more about what the site has as an alternative in case this happens again or it goes down permanently.
Good question. I have no idea.

For normal users, maybe setting up a temporary cytube room could do the trick.

For moderators, maybe the webdev and admins could set up a secret board for communication accessible only with a mod/admin/dev account, but I doubt it's doable quickly especially since they all have day jobs AFAIK.
I'm not sure if mods truly need matrix to be operational at all time, knowing that the report system is integrated into the website, as long as they only clean up obvious bait/spam, restrict themselves to uncontroversial actions in short, I don't think it's an issue as long as the matrix rooms are back soon.

An IRC chatranshumanist would be easy to set up

do chatranshumanists know about http://pestnet.io/whitepaper.html yet?

It's back up for now

Probably the same mod who spoils every image of meat being cooked.

*You're

See, I warned you guys about this. First the lolis then the pawgs, that's how it always starts…. And now porn is banned completely. We should have stood together while we still had the chance.

>>42796
fuck off pedo

>>42798
I think the mods should make an ordinance to restrict this kind of name calling, it clearly falls under rule 14.

Shota and loli are not CSAM
If they are, then gore and furry should be banned because they normalize bestiality and violence

>>42665
I thought you said morality was a spook?

>>42688
Violence is ok, pedophilia is not. Idgaf about furries, you're all the same degens too lazy to just go on a porn website.

>>42715
>Violence is ok, pedophilia is not.
Evidence for this claim?

>>42765
My evidence is that this claim goes against anyone who goes against the claim. Violence resolves issues, pedophilia creates issues along with its apologetics and adherents. Questions like yours are in effect advocacy that is no different from a plead followed up with a "why". This site will see no growth without a precise stance against the antisocial behavior of raping adolescents and its advocates who perpetuate the idea.
Not a single societal problem has ever been solved in history except by violence, violence will resolve the problem that is pedophilia - the rape of adolescents and the idea of it will die with the change of history.

seconded, this is a very annoying one.
