Not my quote but I agree with it and have seen lived through it in many online discussion forums that I either don't frequent anymore or they don't exist anymore.
"There is a general phenomenon I've noticed on the internet. Any forum with free speech and little to no moderation becomes right wing. Leftist ideas cannot exist without censorship and moderation." GD has become pretty soft compared to years ago. Deal with real trolls? fine, Deal with threats or Arocking?, Fine. Worrying about everyone's feels? Yeah that is going to be tough to accomplish. |

I don't think you're going to get your preference. A formalized process and having mods take action against shit-stirrers would be an improvement over the current, somewhat ad-hoc moderation. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

There’s a difference between fun and being retarded children that GD acts like so often. |

I'll be interested in:
Who becomes a mod. How the enforcement of the new rules works in real life. So I'm not negative or positive right now, I'm in the wait and see camp. |

Brownells killing GD. View Quote |

Fuck the _ Brigade. They should all be banned. Fucking Commies.

Paid membership will be dropping off. Mine won’t be renewed. I’ve paid since 2008.
Thanks for ruining the fun of this place. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the other new changes that happened at arfcom. |

It's all the fault of the boomers. Or the millennials. Or some shit.

Collectively, we asked for these changes via the poll and discussion in the Gunwrtr ban thread. We asked for clearer definitions, but also for more leeway by letting warnings expire.

Hopefully it can be retroactive so we can get a few good ones reinstated. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

Quoted: It will turn out just like all the other boards, discussion groups, social platform. View Quote Certainly is following the pattern. 1. Forums gets sold. 2. New owners say nothing will change. It will be great. You'll see. 3. Shit changes. <------------------- YOU ARE HERE 4. Forum is a ghost town in 12-18 months |

After the last few years of certain_posters being able to troll and bait other members at will I lost faith in the system.

4 pages of speculation on an announcement that had no substance.
Much like the Brownells buyout announcement that contained no substantive information, we again will have 20 or so pages of speculation. Maybe in a few weeks we will have actual info to work off of. |

Sounds like they are looking for Consistency. I am a fan of Consistency. View Quote As long as the line between insults and humor is clearly defined because both are highly subjective and if it's up to mod interpretation that can be iffy. Doesn't really affect me as I'm no good at either. |

I've been on a number of forums that began over moderation.
It was always the beginning of the end |

As much as I hate rules, good.
Dirty fucking commie trolls are left unchecked and the good guys end up banned. I hope the account executions are swift and publicly announced. Maybe I’ll buy a membership again. |

Quoted: And by lately you mean the last 5+ years. Hopefully going after trolls means going after the people who follow the “how to destroy a forum” rule book. Spamming the board with shitloads of “news” stories to bury good threads, stalking other posters and posting argumentative crap just to try and get a COC response. View Quote |

As long as you unban everyone who had been banned from GD, I'm cool with it. I mean everyone, they should have a chance to live again under the new rules and have fair representation for the warnings and bans given.
I think that's a good compromise. |

Let's just go ahead and ban the word boomer and millennial.
And fudd. If those get banned I want to proactively cut off my GD rights. |

GD never ceases to amaze me. Everyone bitches about the trolls running unchecked, demand changes.....They try to make changes to enforce the trolls and everyone is now bitching that it's now the end of GD because of the changes.

View Quote I get it, no shenanigans in the focused forums. General discussion is the place for that. Now that 'might' be in jeopardy. We lost something when over a decade ago, we could no longer have over the top slug fests in GD. I hope we don't lose again when we can't call a guy who just put gas in his diesel generator a moron. Ultimately, I'm not going anywhere unless banned. This place is great for news and entertainment, even if the latter is being neutered a bit. |
