Forum Discussion v5 - Imagine if you used Ignore List. - General

[QUOTE=Blind Lulu;52899167]Sorry about my stupid appeal posts I made earlier. I don't like to make excuses but I'm pretty sure the tramadol I've been taking must have been messing with my judgement cause looking back at my refugee camp posts is making me cringe at myself. I know it's silly but I feel pretty depressed about seeing myself being so dumb.[/QUOTE] PUI is a dangerous game

How can you tell if someone's pui? I mean.. I could be pui and type a half decent sentence

[QUOTE=TheJoker;52899533]How can you tell if someone's pui? I mean.. I could be pui and type a half decent sentence[/QUOTE] It's usually just a ban for shitposting unless they go all "imm so drunkkkk loll..." or high.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;52896684]I think we should just stop talking about this considering the mods have made their final call and drama is dumb. If you want to read hot gossip either turn on E! Or go to your local train station and advocate the flat earth. Say you got supporters all around the world to get a good fix[/QUOTE] This. The whole trans thread was a terrible idea and has stirred up a shitload of unnecessary drama. Let's not do this again. I think we've exhausted the discussion on this topic and I would strongly urge everybody to move on. [QUOTE=Sega Saturn;52896727]This is probably the best summary of my thoughts on this forum that I've ever seen while browsing this thread. FP used to feel like a collection of semi-reasonable people with a few radicals at the fringe who were always on their last chance. It was always fun to see when the extremists would finally cross the line and show their true colors, and get permabanned for the effort. Now it just feels like FP is a giant social experiment, a dumping ground for bigots and extremists to offload their ideologies without consequence to test the upper limits of everyone's patience. The community as a whole despises this change and we've voiced our concerns about it innumerable times, but the mod team has generally responded with contempt, and has even resorted to censoring the topic on occasion and outright banning people for talking about it. It's resulted in mod-sanctioned trolling, and you know that's exactly what it is when the mods say "we know what's going on, but you're the problem because you're responding to it." No, we're not the problem, we're the core of the community. These alt-right trolls and bigots aren't community, they're travelling sales people who won't get off our collective porches.[/QUOTE] FP is and always will be a left-centric website. In the past our moderation policies have supported the left by banning people who spoke out against left ideology. I am determined to make Facepunch a balanced place where discussion can take place so long as it is respectful. Your talk about "mod-sanctioned trolling" is absolutely nonsense. You're not the only people here. People who oppose your views have been on the website for years but have been fearful for speaking out. I am absolutely against "safe spaces" and everything they represent. Facepunch will never be a "safe space" and if you do not agree with this then you are free to leave.

We can at least all agree there's no place for extremist types and outright abuse, right?? I have absolutely no problem with letting both sides have a platform (after all I'm in a minority opinion group on at least two major topics) but I do take exception to extremism and psychological abuse - there's not gonna be a problem drawing the line, is there?

It's a no brainer that if you advocate for domestic terrorism, general terrorism, violence, threats to another user, attempts at doxxing etc that you'll get absolutely no where and more than likely (depending on how severe the post was) getting a knock from your local police department. If you don't like a certain group of people you have the right to say that (with caution and maturity) but you start raising eyebrows when you imply that extermination "is a good thing". Also your not immune from criticism and people calling you a mong.

Considering changing my profile pic to Elon Musk so I can join the frenzy in the Tesla/SpaceX threads

[QUOTE=RocketSnail;52899968]Considering changing my profile pic to Elon Musk so I can join the frenzy in the Tesla/SpaceX threads[/QUOTE] is that greek?

[QUOTE=Scratch.;52900080]is that greek?[/QUOTE] Yeah! [sp]fuck em dude[/sp]

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52899750] 1) FP is and always will be a left-centric website. In the past our moderation policies have supported the left by banning people who spoke out against left ideology.

Facepunch will never be a "safe space" and if you do not agree with this then you are free to leave.[/QUOTE] 1) I can understand the idea of making Facepunch a balanced place. That in itself is commendable, and I support having a more balanced forum. However, that should not mean that intellectually dishonest posting should be allowed that ignores reality and facts. The same should go with obvious bait threads that try to get a rile out of people. There are several noteable users on this forum that do this to get reactions of out people and then abandon their own threads after several weak """arguments""" and move off to the next bait thread that they make. There should be a guideline against whataboutism and general deflections in my opinion because debates should be honest and insightful, not full of bullshit. 2) To be fair, the term isn't THAT far off. There has been a very obvious protective wall against a specific user that has allowed him to continue to make bait threads constantly to push an agenda, with pretty much only a few mods being able to ban them at this point. It's not mod-sanctioned trolling per-se, it's more that it is mod-sanctioned baitposting. 3) And I agree. Safe-spaces are awful in general for proper debate and Facepunch should NEVER be allowed to become one. But you are twisting Sega's words with this. Sega does not want a safe space, he wants the awful users gone. Edit: Hezzy that last statement to Sega is an especially insulting strawman of Sega's very legitimate points. This kind of attitude WILL kill off Facepunch's community in time in my opinion.

[QUOTE=garry;52901161]Here's a thread about migration [url]https://forum.facepunch.com/f/general/gvpp/Thread-Migration/1/[/url][/QUOTE] Neat, so our post count and join date are kept on the new account if I’m understanding this right?

What's going to happen to the community fund when we switch over?

[QUOTE=Mako;52901301]What's going to happen to the community fund when we switch over?[/QUOTE] Getting dropped, it was ruled too similar to communism.

As great as the new forums are, I think it is far from ready to be switched over to in it's current state. I'd rather it be more ready/refined/polished before we are forced to migrate.

[QUOTE=ZestyLemons;52901367]You can't stop the future.[/QUOTE] I can if I end the flow of time.

So will we be able to claim our username that we use on here on the new forums after we adopt it?
