No matter how it is interpreted, what you said is very threatening. This is coming from a guy who got a 7 day ban for threats (granted, in conjunction with major threadjacking) for saying that, in a hypothetical scenario in which a proletarian revolution was taking place, I would be willing to kill another poster if he fought against it. I don't think it would have been any different had I said "I won't kill you myself, but I would be very happy to learn that Political Commissar such-and-such had carried out the deed".


You know, I typed out a response to this, but speaking of threadjacks, I don't want to be involved in one. Please feel free to enjoy your opinion, and to dismiss my disclaimer despite how obvious and blatant it was.

Like I said, it's like saying "I don't mean this to be offensive, but Jews are really greedy". Just because you prefix it by saying that it isn't something doesn't mean that it isn't. In any context, sincerely wishing that level of injury is a threat.

Perhaps we could open a discussion thread in moderation? This isn't the place for this.

Okay, this is going to be a little old (I think I saw it here last year), but it's back, and still as funny:

Hegglesdom wrote:Once again, as the threat of zombie apocalypse looms overhead, it is time for like-minded nations to band together and take a stand against the forces of darkness. Only by working with one another can we triumph over those that would see us trodden into the dirt, forgotten by history. So where do we take this momentous stand? Where better than in My Pants!

Last year My Pants welcomed all those looking for shelter, and thanks to the valiant efforts of those present, we were able to keep the infection from spreading into My Pants. We would like to do the same again this year and have an open-door policy for My Pants, but to do so we need your help!

Sadly, not all of us that stood shoulder to shoulder have made it through the turbulent year that followed, so we are now looking for nations to come into our region and help keep My Pants a place of warmth, shelter and safety during the rough times ahead.

After all, when your grandchildren ask you about your role in the great zombie apocalypse of 2014, you will want to be able to look them in the eye and proudly say;

"I stood there boldly in My Pants and fought them to the last!"

I dream a dream of times gone by,
when threads moved fast and Nuevo posted,
I dreamt rp would never die,
Back in those days when once it coasted,
Then I was old, yet unfraid,
and I had built from much good practice,
I thought our plans they were well laid,
I thought our ops were not the laxist.

Inactivity comes so fast,
to this thread so young and fragile,
as it grinds us to a halt,
as it turns our plans to dust.

And still I dream we'll rise again,
that many members will start posting,
But their are dreams that cannot be,
I know that noone will be boasting.

I had a dream that this would work,
just in the thread I post in,
I thought we'd break the summer lull,
but we have fallen down to 4.

Reploid Productions wrote:From a moderation standpoint, I think it's less "NS isn't tolerant of religion" and more "NS has low tolerance for radical anything, period." As mentioned by other folks earlier in the thread, past polls on the forums have typically shown a slim majority claiming to be religious over non-religious, and the mod team's got a pretty diverse spread of religious and political ideologies as well.

Sure, in theory you can argue any position, no matter how abhorrent without breaking the site rules. In practice however, the more radical a position, the less likely proponents will be able to do so. Classic example; how long does the typical serious white supremacist last before running foul of the rules? Generally not very long, because their radical position tends to also teeter right over the edge with tenets about so-called degenerates or undesirables and what to do with them.

In my observations, proponents of especially radical positions, whether they are religious, political, or even fandom-related are more likely to respond to criticism and counterarguments by hurling flames and other abuse. The radical atheist that barges into the Christian discussion thread screaming about how they're horribly wrong/stupid/whatever for believing in that set of religious beliefs is just as likely to get shouted down by NSG and smacked by the mods as the radical Christian that barges into an atheist/Wiccan/Muslim/etc thread screaming how all those heathens will burn in hell for not accepting Jesus.

Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of the site's users aren't radicals of any sort, and manage for the most part to argue with one another with a thankfully minimal amount of mod smiting involved. Seriously, look at NSG's post count- upwards of 6,500,000. If just 1% of that was mod-smiting, that'd be in the ballpark of 65,000 mod action posts smiting people. I don't think we even have 10,000 posts of mods smiting users in NSG! Despite allowing discussion of the entire unholy trifecta of religion, politics, and sexuality, more than 99% of what you guys write is reasonably civil and within the rules and doesn't require moderator intervention. How awesome is that?

Sometimes I look upon NSG, and I can't help but smile.
