Definition of HC.

deleteddeletedover 10 years ago

Anyone else notice the mod team just changed it to cover their tracks of bad moderation. Why didn't they tell us?...should everyone with a hate comment be unbanned because former/current mods didn't even know what a hate comment was? So unprofessional..yet so typical.

TO THE MODS:

Be productive and actually talk about something site relevant in the moderator chat, and come up with ACTUAL GUIDELINES behind a HC. The way things are being handled right now is honestly just ridiculous.

We have these mods just throwing violations left and right and its pretty crazy if you go back and look at some reports. Its like they are just trying to fly though the reports to get them done and see one or two words and say 'HATE COMMENT!' not looking at the context, not looking at really anything.

It seems most of you moderators are new or maybe not as involved, and I know its probably not a fun job..and a lot people may not like you. The RESPONSIBILITY of a moderator is to maintain a FAIR and enjoyable experience..im rambling..but it is not fair to any player to have these vague descriptions of what someone may think a HATE COMMENT is. This is just bad moderation, bad moderation drives away new players which hurts the site..obviously.

I'm just maybe trying to provoke some thought, sorry if you feel I'm being to harsh...but this is the complaint thread after all. I'm sure you moderators are good people, and have common sense. I'm sure you know mafia is a competitive game, and people may get frustrated from time to time. Ultimately its you guys who enforce the rules...this is simply a rant. In my opinion, it would just be nice to see some leniency in moderation differentiating actual HATE/DEMEANING SPEECH from SWEARING.

Feel free to state your opinion, but really the big thing I'm trying to get at is fair moderation..and I think the HC topic is one that is LONG past due to being addressed for everyones sake.

triggers are not always only words and there are images/videos that one might come across on the internet that one would not often see in real life
do i need to dig up the Tyler The Creator tweet?
Okay but imagine being the owner of a closely moderatred website that sees relatively low levels of traffic. Logically speaking, telling the already dwindling community to simply "log off and stop coming to the website if you don't like it" seems pretty counterproductive.
Because the owner could not give 2 hairy rats ashes about trafic unless it effected revenue from token purchases...and token revenues have been constant.

why would you use a dash in a hashtag

Well, what I meant was, it's not the responsibility of society to bend to the wish of the minority of people who feel "triggered" by many different things. If people go outside and become triggered, then that's it. It happens. Avoid it next time. We can't make a general trigger warning that everyone has to follow because there are various triggers for various people. I don't know if I am good at explaining what I mean, but yeah.

"trigger warnings don't exist in real life"
One time I pulled into a parking lot, got out, saw a bunch of people milling around, so I went over to look. There was a bunny dying in the parking lot and they were just standing looking going awww so I snapped its neck and everyone looked horrified I surely should've air quoted trigger warning #mercy-killing.

Society in general does not bend to the triggered's will. The triggered person must seek help and avoid all unnecessary contact with anything that could make them upset. I sympathize with those greatly who do need that kind of help, but if someone were to accidentally set off a trigger then they should not be at fault.
"society does not bend to the triggered's will" that's why the ESRB and movie ratings/warnings exist

to put this into perspective.. if getting triggered by words on the internet is the worst thing that's going on for you imagine being a black man, you're getting triggered forreal by the police lol
Yes. Some things are worse than others. At this moment, there's a bunch of starving crackbabies in the world who have it much worse off than any of us.

That doesn't take away from the fact that some people react differently to situations. If the majority of the users on a website dedicated to Finding The Bad Mafia Guys would feel even the slightest bit better about having a rule in place that essentially said "be nice, children", then I don't see an issue.
cr*ck babies are my trigger, please remove that from your post
What about "Crackwhores"???

Or take that approach instead. To each their own, I suppose. Good talk dude.

People who need to list their triggers, though, have absolutely no chance in the real world off of the Internet.
gosh forbid people endure trauma and not want to see/experience sensations that make them relive said trauma

I saw someone on Tumblr say that the words "mental illness" are their triggers, and they said they shared "headmates" which means that they have multiple personalities. That's a mental illness. lol

I didn't intend to offend anyone with the post I made. I was just stating my general observations. Maybe I've seen too many Tumblr triggers. I also do not think people should inherently be horrible. That's bad too.
oh no im not offended! i enjoy a good debate is all. :)

i agree, tumblr has truly ruined the concept, but there's more people who are survivors of sexual abuse/have ptsd than tumblrinas i think.
