NS Cliches II: Re-Rebooted

[Mareyland]

Cliche: having a front row seat to Classic Forum Drama, but not being able to talk about it with anyone in real life, because it’s happening on the forums of a website built to promote a book that was published in 2003

Additional cliche: Having to meter your comments on it because on this site you're basically one 'mean' post away from being banned.

I still have no idea how I got warned that one time, and even less an idea how I haven't gotten warned since.

[Gandoor]

I get warned probably like once or twice a year or so.

I had a visible warning level in my UCP until a few days ago and I genuinely don't know what it was for and I really don't give enough of a shit to file a GHR for my warning record.

Additional Cliché N°2: Not actually knowing or understanding what this whole drama is about because you never step outside of F7, but still read about it because you love drama and watching the world burn. (no this is not a description about me).

That's 99% of NS drama, no one gives a shit about it except for like 1% of the userbase who use the forums (and considering most users don't even visit the forums or use them...)

Or additionally, not understanding what it's about and finding it a challenge to read through, leaving more confused than one previously was.

[Valentine Z]

I have been away for a few weeks on F7, so... Wow that was a bit of a hiatus. Weirdly one where I didn't say "Hey dudes I'm taking a break, so see ya."

So yeah... Hello, my friends.

There's no middle ground with Moderation. Either nothing at all, some standard DOS, some spam...

Or this full-on escalation where I'll admit, both sides really need to chill the hell out. I'm not biased against the moderation or the normal players, to be very clear. I can feel the plights and justifications but holy hot damn, this can be done better.

Buuuuut I'm gonna stop right here because there's a thread for that!

Additional Cliché No. 3: Not involved or affected by the mods in any way but actively participated in the drama anyway and had quarrels with a senior game mod for it.

(Totally not me, guys).

mods bad

I'm afraid that doesn't help much: it seems to be a recurring feature.

Exactly: and unless one happens to frequent the areas where it happens, good luck trying to make head or tail of it.

I have been away for a few weeks on F7, so... Wow that was a bit of a hiatus. Weirdly one where I didn't say "Hey dudes I'm taking a break, so see ya."

It happens to the best of us: welcome back!

I see, how about “mods are doing a bad job”?

They have been making consistently and notably bad choices for the entire community lately

The latest example is them going after the good friend of Markion, Kraven for having the gall to have a love for writing a dark dystopian setting. It was an excellent read before it was unjustly purged for no reason outside of “I don’t like it so delete it.”

honestly, i've found most of the posting by the Kraven Defenders to be so obnoxious - people are bringing up law precedents from ancient Athens to try and win an argument about forum rules (cliche: internet users pontificating like John Adams at the Boston Massacre trial during petty online arguments) - that i've been reverse radicalized on the topic. I'm joining the War on Moderation, on the side of the Moderation.

As the poster in question, I'm sorry that I turned you to the other side with my "obnoxious posting". I cited it because it was a scholarly citation on Wikipedia discussing the purpose of the statute of limitations. I thought it would carry more weight than citing a blog.

Explain to me, why it is “obnoxious” to not want to have your work despite how dark it may be not deleted because someone pretends to take offense to it?

[Gandoor]

who cares. pick up a foot ball.

Let's just move on. As the "ancient Athens law" guy, I have apologized in advance because I don't want this thread to be another Mod Discussion Thread. Let the arguments be contained in the Moderation forum.

[Mareyland]

Explain to me, why it is “obnoxious” to not want to have your work despite how dark it may be not deleted because someone pretends to take offense to it?

cliche: forum posters making strawman constructions of positions they disagree with. The idea that someone is "pretending" to take offense reads a whole lot of malicious intent into the mod decision that I don't think is supported by any evidence.

Frankly, having never collaborated with Kraven and having held a generally low opinion of their body of work before this whole debacle began, I have the luxury of getting to be a hater

who cares. pick up a foot ball.

Max Barry is gonna get on here any minute now and say "I'm shutting down the servers for a whole week so you can all go outside"

[Gandoor]

At this point Max should just shut the site down entirely tbh.

Aw beans, I'm just getting started. I invented a new form of syllabic meter poetry for my dumb lil nation.
