Candlewhisper Archive wrote:Catherine Gratwick, celebrated model, renowned painter of trains, Household Defence Alliance president, author of Gynaecocracy for Beginners, anti-videogaming member of Mothers Ordered Against Nastiness, breastfeeding advocate, teenage mother in favour of teenage fathers being conscripted, leader of a neighbouring nation, suffragette, record holder for most freedom of information requests submitted by a single person, former child model and pageant aficionado, and now direct descendant of Elizabeth Gratwick?

That Catherine Gratwick?

The whole point of her being in the recent issue was because she's now a running joke. Scrubbing her from past issues seems a really tragic thing to happen, and personally I'd like to see her return to #100 as well.

You know me, I'm all against pointless tradition if changing it has demonstrable benefit, but I think sometimes pointless tradition has a humour value all of its own.

See Reppy nail why this site has the Rules that it does:

Reploid Productions wrote:Quick point of reference, "hate speech" (at least in general terms) is already covered by the existing rules. Heck, it's already covered by the highest level from which the OSRS is derived:
> What can't I post?

Any content that is:

obscene
illegal
threatening
malicious
defamatory
spam

We are not going to make particular ideologies illegal to discuss and debate here. (Well, at least outside of a couple of special case topics, IE: pedophilia.) In theory, one can argue any opinion here without breaking the site rules. In reality, and this is a big reason why far-right/nazi players (and their less common far-left counterparts) tend to have a short shelf life around here: some opinions are inherently very, very difficult to argue in a way that doesn't break the site rules. (For instance, there is no way to argue "All <group> should be killed off!" that isn't a flagrant rules violation.) Generally, the more extreme the viewpoint, be it extreme right, extreme left, extreme pro-religion, extreme atheism, and so on, the more difficult it will be to argue it in a way that stays within the bounds of (mostly) civil debate dictated by the rules. Plus, the more extreme the viewpoint, the less likely the person arguing for it is going to be able to back their view up with sources, and absent evidence, they often have a bad habit of resorting to flaming/trolling their detractors.

The boss wants absurd, ugly, and indefensible opinions to be voiced, to be dragged out into the light where they can be criticized, commented on, ripped to ribbons, and generally shown for the indefensible, ugly opinions they are rather than let them fester in the shadows unchallenged. And y'know, y'all do a pretty damn good job of it.

In a report thread where Xyanth/Capitalist Producers reported a spammy RMB post about Bitcoin in the Moderation forum (two weeks after the ByteCoin April Fools' joke minigame); these kind of posts would almost certainly get the poster dinged for spamming Moderation nowadays, but still, some say that the old jokes are the best ones:

Exactly. There are just some people I found so toxic, so offensive, so.... blargh that I do not want them in my life. And since I am not allowed to stun them, put them in a box, transport them to Liverpool, put them on a ship to Florida, convey them to Cape Kennedy, put them on board a rocket and shoot them in to space, I choose the next best option which is to add them to my foe list so I no longer have to read the offensive crap they spew forth with every word that they type.
