    I made that image. I planned to make others for future fora.

    Perhaps your next post could ask what other simple hierarchical pyramids, Venn diagrams, political compasses, etc. could we use as reference tools and to self-regulate?

    I'm actually a fan of self regulation, the old wild wild west of the internet when men were men and the women were men too, and almost anything went.

    Me too.

    Voat and 4chan exist, yet I choose to be here.

    I like very specific but very few rules best with an abundance of helpful guides that are good to point to. (I don't consider the PoD much of a rule, but it's a fantastic guide.)

    I'm still trying to recover my enthusiasm for posting on saidit after all the recent discouragement. (two outages, attacks by TAM, the absence of M7, front page of spam, chipit, etc.) IMO, the only posts or comments that should be legitimately censored or deleted are those that exhibit excessive stupidity, are spam, or contain illegality. The PoD seems to inhibit interactions, and be the excuse of choice to ban active users.

    You will be one dead mother fucker if I find out you live close to me and do this kind of thing.

    This doesn't bother me, and I just told that asshole to fuck off and cry more. Also told him to keep his animals out of my yard or it will happen to him. Gotta love a place that allows this level of free interaction between users.

    100% agreed. It's arbitrary enforcement and subjective interpretation is a joke. Yet I think it's a terrific guide.

    Not a fan of those interactions but I'm also not a saint, nor pretend to be.
