Technically, “Full Moderation” can be an oxymoron.

WARNING: personal attack... calling a Mod a moron...

Oh wait...

This is somewhat disappointing to me. I don't care for Political Correctness, if you want to say something negative about Islam or Christianity or Homosexuality, go for it. It's free speech. Yeah you shouldn't use racial slurs, but generally, one of the things that makes the Spin Room great is the open, honest, and frequently offensive debates that take place. I like the Spin Room being the Wild West. We don't need a separate Wild West room.

I think common sense needs to prevail. Treat others how you want to be treated. Pretty damn simple.

Perhaps, but most here are adults and should be able to weather a slur..

Can we add broad sweeping negative hateful speech about religion?

Let me be the first to say that I categorically hate religion. I generally have a high regard for people that are moral and civil, and try to respect people and feelings. Not so much ideas and certain consequences associated with them. I think I get where you are going... certainly saying you are an awful person if you believe a, b, c is something that should be ban-worthy, but expressing my opinion about specific religions or ideas should not be. If you think back to the discussion about the San Antonio city council and some religiously-volatile language they had adopted (I think that was with you) ... that's a discussion that was headed in a bad direction, but reason and research brought it back... I'm not sure that would've benefited from moderation.

There are certainly times I'd have failed the "don't be a dick" doctrine as well, though (see aforementioned discussion)...

I'm pretty thick skinned.. Most of the time I assume when someone calls me a moron, it's because they know I'm smarter.. When they call me a cracka, they are jealous because I can get a tan.. When they call me a redneck, they're jealous because if the grid crashes, I don't have to worry about what to do next, I know what to do next.

RE: If we are going to go full mod..
As far as I am concerned, and I can't speak for any other mod... my application will TRY and be about whether or not the comments are related to the topic...

i.e. if you want to talk about gay marriage and say that numerous religions don't accept it... no problem... even if you say that you believe that 'homosexuality is an abomination to the Lord'... I see that as okay... If someone says... YOU are an abomination, or a homophobe, or only a butt-lover like you would say that or that only fools put their faith in 'Santa Clause'... i DON'T see that as okay, because it is unrelated to the topic and only serves to flame. Even many of CUSA's posts wouldn't be censored on here (by me anyway) even though they almost exclusively deal with race... because race and racism is a legitimate topic.

That may not be the proper application and not everyone will agree... but once again, the penalty isn't particularly severe unless you're pretty regular about abusing it.

Weathering it is one thing. When it detracts from, or becomes the conversation itself, it is quite another.

I spend less time here because it isn't enjoyable to waste time wading through name calling posts (lots), redundant threads, and juvenile neener-neener responses.

I think the bottom line is that the proprietor (GTS) wants a certain tone to prevail here. He has tried to describe what that will be like as best he can, and he has put (or is putting) a team in place to help bring that about. Over time, the results will become obvious. People who are okay with it will stay. People who are not okay with it will leave.

That's racist if I can't be racist anymore.

Guess the only concern I seem to have about the change is about being expected to stay and defend
your point of view and not run away. Sometimes if I post something I do not wait around to see
who thinks what of it and bring back retorts because I may be onto another thread discussing something.
Particularly if it's not that active at the time, or if a couple of other posters get into a continuous
back and forth over something one of them said. Sounds as if you can now receive a warning for that.

You still have the wild wild west. It's over there. The vast majority of people wanted a form of civil discourse. How hard is that? The redundant threads got to me too. You still have all you want over there. The wild wild west is still the wild wild west. Just go over there.

I think it's more of you make a point, then don't return for days or ignore the responses.

Just remember to post your "Spin Room" topics here and not your "Wild West" topics here right Mach? 03-lmfao
