Sounds like the No Fun Police are suiting up and ready for deployment.

Changes coming to the COC.

Ink added in OP.

My prognostication is it will end up just like Twatter/FuckUBook/others as in poorly.

Just read through it... and I guess it sounds good in theory, but we'll see how it plays out in practice. I don't see any issues, personally.

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

I think it sounds like people who can't conduct themselves like reasonable adults will be gone, and that's a good thing.

Oversight of speech always ends poorly for those who actually speak. If you don't say much you should be fine.

Heh.

I remember when I called out a mod for violating a rule.
Then, it was suddenly found that I was violating a minor rule and I got a 3 day ban.

I dunno if I want good moderators on Arfcom, because then it wouldn't be arfcom.

That the first post in the thread was deleted tells me everything I need to know.

I think the part about a formal appeals process is exactly to address that sort of issue.

For long-term or permanent bans I'd love to see a trial by jury or panel approach.  4 mods, 1 or 2 site staff, and 3-5 randomly appointed paying members with at least 5 years on the board.  Set forth the charges and prior disciplinary history and have a consensus decision made with input from regular members.  Sort of the way attorney discipline boards work in the penalty phase.

But this will probably never happen....

That’s what made GD fun. With the pit gone, where are people supposed to talk shit to each other. Personally, I would be in favor of GD being more heavily moderated since it’s the public part of the site and the team form having looser rules.

I was "warned" in what I believed to be "in error" (how's that for crappy grammar?).  I contacted the Mod by IM and never received a response.

Hopefully the follow through and ban the fucking trolls who bait people into personal_attacks.

That said, I haven’t been around since 2000 but I said to myself the other day, GD hasn’t had a fun or funny threads in years. I used to laugh my ass off at the goofy tinder and rifles in bathtub threads. Now it’s a bunch of whiney old dudes complaining and orange man bad.

The announcement is vague nothing burger. Reads like a political announcement.
I'll wait till they publish the rules, and then wait to see how they actually enforce these rules.

It's a short and predictable list.

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.

So gun guys and people with real world experience will continue to be banned for being rough around the edges while leftists and general internet weirdos that can follow the letter of the law while inciting responses will continue to be coddled?

Oh boy, even more opportunities for brain drain as knowledgeable/entertaining members get banned for minor issues.

That’s not true especially not in forum land. There have been plenty of great talkers and content providers run off by people who should have been slapped down.

Y’all also vehemently said “nothing is changing.”

Here we are, a month or two on, and it sounds like wholesale changes.

Not criticizing, just pointing out the strange dichotomy.

Arfcom needs a publicist. LOL.
