I for one, demand more arbitrary capriciousness from our mod overlords/ladies.
The temptation to arbitrarily and capriciously ban you now is almost overwhelming. 
… almost
If I could reshape the world in my image and not consider consistency or fairness…
Sorry, blissed out there just thinking about it.
You’d ban him too, admit it.
Offer your assistance Sensei
Because what is offensive to one or some may not be offensive to many or all. The so-called ignore tool allows each person to make the choice best for that person without censoring content others choose to participate in.
Why hasn’t anyone though of that before now? What an idea.
Yeah, I find it weird that it’s not the graphic violence in those books that is troubling.
It is a good idea. Up until the point a new rule is needed which I agreed with concerning misleading thread titles. Concerning these false disclaimers? It is petulant and unnecessary behavior.
Because it’s only a half step from making the victims the guilty party here.
So if the mods choose to stop deleting our regular Indian spammers, you’ll be OK with that because you can just ignore them, right?
There’s a group sex scene with prepubescent children. I slightly suspect you don’t know what we’re talking about because while people might be upset by the violence, it is expected in a horror novel, and a weird pedo orgy scene is not expected.
I partly agree and partly disagree.
I agree that the sex of the complainers shouldn’t (and probably doesn’t) matter as to the outcome or the mods’ decision.
But I disagree that it doesn’t make a difference, on this board, if the situation is women complaining about a man’s behavior vs. men complaining about a woman’s behavior. Truly, many men just don’t seem to understand why women feel attacked and vulnerable from some of Skald’s posting behavior. Women are, sadly, a minority on this board, and often marginalized.
If there were a white poster who offered hypotheticals that occasionally featured drooling references to whipping slaves or lynching, that poster wouldn’t last 5 minutes on this board. Pretty much everyone gets how wrong (and disgusting) that would be. That isn’t identical to this situation, being an imperfect analogy, but that is the frame of reference that helps me understand, to some degree, where some of the women are coming from. White supremacy goes back a few hundred years. Male supremacy, and treating women as “other” and “lesser” goes back pretty much to the beginning of most civilizations. They’ve been fighting a long time. I reckon some of them are tired of putting up with the bullshit.
That content violates board rules whether or not it includes a disclaimer. The threads in question here do not have content that violate the rules.
Further, there is gross illogic in play to say that disclaimers must be made about certain subjects yet accurate disclaimers not so required are somehow resulting in harm. But this isn’t really about disclaimer is it? It’s about censorship of content.
BS. And try to have some agency instead of seeking perpetual victimhpod.
Spammers? Nah. They need IP bans. A poster that does a thread or two a quarter? Yeah.
There was also a description of a child being beat to death with a hammer. Consensual freakiness is preferable to a non consensual meat tenderizing and bone pulverization. But, I admit, what people are bothered by is subjective.

You’re box…wait…they don’t have a box here. You’re suspended for 1 hour as warning to others.

Bone? ITD? Get right on this, ok? ::snaps fingers::
People have always been required to label NSFW content.
Who is contending otherwise? This is about labeling SFW content and the nonsensical arguments against such a thing.
Teach by example I always say.
It’s really unfortunate that you can’t, at least, see 2 sides here. You’re dismissing one side’s argument that traffic signals are best at dangerous intersections by suggesting they just drive more carefully and avoid intersections.
