Oh no, there's been plenty of those threads on NSG. The difference is we have a no-bullshit policy enforced by reasonably strict moderation. Rape, gore and troll threads are locked and removed. I haven't been on /b/ but I'm led to believe it's utterly devoid of moderation.

From what i have seen the thing isn't that they have no mods there. They just have few rules and even then the mods sometimes don't care to enforce them. I seen pictures of people getting banned for bad reasons so i know it isn't having lack of moderation...just lack of mods giving a damn. Think the other boards are better though

Basically you won't see a thread like that on here for long.

Really?

Pretty much every rape thread here suffers from dozens of rape apologists and rape denialists, and even rape advocates.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Yes, but we don't have threads where the OP says that we should rape so-and-so.

I don't know about that. From my understanding, if you come out and openly advocate rape, moderation tends to come down on you pretty hard. There's plenty of people on here who don't understand what rape actually is, though but that isn't the same as advocating it.

Indeed. Even moderators.

Kiiiiiinda part of the job description. It'd be asolutely lovely if we could get people to self-correct their behavior with a polite, "Pardon me, sir, but your behavior is becoming problematic and out of line. Would you be a dear and stop doing <X rule violation>?" Polite doesn't work, so then we have to be dicks about it with all the garish redtext, bans, DEATs, and general meanness.

Actually polite, firm and a big stick works fine but being a dick is far far easier.
