Who made you moderator to make declarations how she should be punished? :rolleyes:
And now you’re going to be condescending also?
And what is this ramping up of the dire significance of a warning? I’ve been warned in the past. I didn’t behave as if it was the equivalent of being at risk of losing my job.
“Yeah, but he shouldn’t lose his job over that” is not the bedrock standard of every discussion of societal standards.
Well, I’m glad you got the confirmation you needed.
I do wonder why you’d think I don’t already take into account context and intent when I moderate, in this case or in general.
I would suggest everyone take a step back and reflect before continuing to the point of hostility. Just a recommendation.
Again, I never said anything about the warning.
It’s odd that I’m catching flack for asking about rules violations while we are discussing application of rules.
Rules: Gato was a jerk and violated rules about body comments. Gato got warned.
Rules: Fruitbat2 flagrantly broke the “don’t call troll” rule and then copped to being a sock
I mentioned “suspension hammer” no differently than predictions of banning are done regularly.
Not sure why you are choked - but it sure isn’t for me arguing with Gato’s warning because I haven’t said jack about it.
I’m not a sock. You’re not a mod. Problems solved.
“Flagrantly?” Goodness, I don’t think it was that exciting.
I didn’t mean to convey that I think that at all. In general I know that you would.
With ‘boobygate’ related moderation specifically, I just wasn’t certain if mods were interested in context or intent or were enforcing a sort of “HR in the workplace” approach to women’s threads where no matter what the intentions or context behind it there is simply zero tolerance for any comment that might offend someone or seem too familiar.
I see. Well, I’m glad I could clarify. Thanks for explaining.
By odd coincidence, this just showed up in my Facebook feed:
Men Read Mean Tweets to Female Sports Reporters - YouTube Men read nasty comments to women
How timely. Yes, the “boob job” comment was very mild in comparison but it is on the same spectrum as these. I don’t post on news comments, video comments or anything that could possibly draw the attention of men like the ones who have made these comments because the reality of women on the internet and social media is that someone posting “I hope you get raped” is a very real concern.
Those of you complaining about someone getting called out for “boob job” are sticking up for these men. You might think “oh come on, “boob job” isn’t as bad”. Isn’t it? Isn’t it born of the same disregard and disrespect for your mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, grandmas, aunts and friends?
Be on the right side of decency.
Choked? I had to look that up.
Okay, you weren’t complaining about Gato’s warning. My bad. I had you confused with octopus.
You’re not a “sock” if you freely admit that you set up another account because you forgot your previous username. The SDMB already has a policy in place such situations; the accounts are simply merged. Your portentous warnings of imminent suspension were, at a minimum, incorrect. As Fruitbat2 accurately noted, she is not a sock and you are not a moderator.
So, rules are rules, unless the moderators like the poster/agree with what has been written, in which case fire away? Got it.
Cite where that has been said.
yes i second this^ ma 2 cents is i just think the “joke” if u wanna call it was barely a sentence. sometimes people dont do the brain thing, and cant figure out “hey if i say this, it might be an issue”. just dont really care. at that point why should anyone waste the brain-cells getting worked up over it.
like larry said. basically the brain of a 12 year old. all they deserve is a thump on the head. stern warning. and explained the consequences. if they cant follow the simple [should be common sense] rules… then execute previously explain consequences. open and shut case. better to clean up the mud then play in it with the bugs… [shiz niz thats deep… should write it down] anyways thats my sleep deprived … prolly more then 2 cents… id say $3.75.
I am sorry, but i) welcome to SDMB and ii)who are you? March 2017 join date, and in a discussion about mod policies already?
That’s not really what’s being discussed though.
Please offer a line of reasoning, with evidence, for this conclusion.
Wow, that is a coincidence. It’s like almost exactly what happened here.
Same spectrum, but not so mild. Cool. Let’s take a look at some of the comments on the same spectrum:
*“One of the players should beat you to death with a hockey stick”
“Like the whore you are”
“Cunt”
“Fuck this dumb cunt”
“I hope your dog gets hit by a car, you dumb bitch”
“I hope your boyfriend beats you”
“Why bring up your own rape in this story? Is it your way of firing back at your critics who say you can’t get any?”
“I hope you get raped again”*
Yup. Let’s put Gato on the same spectrum as the people who wrote those things.
I don’t think you believe that. That’s sick. And if Gato just got “called out”, this thread wouldn’t exist.
I have stopped reading half the posters in this thread but i want you to know that I am glad somebody is doing the dirty work and taking one for the team.
Bless you for your work here!
So you don’t actually like Variety.
No I’m more of a Hollywood Reporter reader.
